Les, you'll have to forgive me, but I take the opposite view.;)
I'm going to a Reform Party meeting this afternoon to see what they have to say.
Having come back from the meeting, I would seriously advise people to listen to what this party and its representatives have to say. It goes beyond the politics of the day.
I also remember those days. When I was on the rescue Tug Dexterous in 1947, we were heading north off the coast of Portugal, we passed many illegal Jewish immigrant ships heading for the yet to be created Israel. Israel has always given the finger to the rest of the world.
I am not a religious person but how does Israel sit with the 6th, 8th and 10th Commandments, 6th, You shall not murder, 8th, You shall not steal and 10th, You shall not Covet. Hypocrites!

if a nation hates another nation and is more intent on the annihalation of those over the advancement of their own nation....???
Since Cocky was in the Egg man has developed the ability to stuff things up.
War between tribes, and this is what it is, has and always will exist.
The need to be in control, to own what others have will never change.
Just look back through history and see the repeated actions that at the time said would solve all.
WW1 ' the war to end all wars'
Well it lead to something new in WW2, civilians became involved not by choice though.
Until then war had mainly been between the troops of the tribes.
So will this skirmish achieve anything, doubtful>
WW1 because two Royal cousins feel out, WW2 because the Germans got fedup of being the slaves of Europe and a Gobshite, called Adolf got his bully boys to gain control and away we go.
Same thing is happening again politics swinging hard right over immigration. Understandable I suppose but if the west and other nations had not stuck their oars in perhaps things may not have got out of control the way they have.
Politicians come and go but their mess takes years to cleanup .
#275 Re. 6th-8th and 10th commandments
Just off the top of my*head I count Italy,*France, Germany, Russia, UK and the USA (chunk of Mexico and Hawaiian Islands) who have fought to gain other people's territory, or hang on to the same territory, disregarding*forementioned commandments.* Great Britain*coveted 25% of the world, that*is excluding North America*(now USA).* G.B.* a relatively*small Island nation did not gain and keep territory by being a*mister nice guy and obeying the good book...They kicked ass and took no prisoners and most of the crown jewels too.
Cheers, Rodney:cool:
#275 Not forgetting the Mosaic dictum, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". Given what we've witnessed so far, this is bad news if you are a Palestinian because they will blind you in both eyes and pull out all of your teeth.
JUst on the news IDF shot and killed two children today an 8 year old and a 14 year old , that is 50 children shot and killed by the IDF since October the 7th.
So sad.
