Re: Israel what is next???
Well Thomas, maybe if the so called majority of the UK got actively involved in politics and political parties. Those you refer to would remain what they are in the country and that is a minority of the population. 65 million people populate these Islands of which approx 6 million are not Anglican/Catholic.
A lot of the majority are content to sit on their backsides and moan about having their country stolen from them. Stop moaning and get up and become actively involved in politics and by that I am not referring to Vigilante groups. Become a member of your local Labour , Conservative , Lib Dems etc! If enough people do and as it is the membership who will elect who they want as their candidate come the next election. Put it simply if there are several hundred or more Anglican/Catholic members than the any other religious groups surley it is the only way to stop Hashim & Bashim or Amram & Avraham from gaining election and running the country.
I think in the current cabinet there are 13 who come from an ethnic back ground , British Indian, British Pakastani, British Iraq , British Sri Lankin, British Afro.
Enough said

Re: Israel what is next???
Is that the old UKIP or was that the Brexit party? No thanks but great to see they will split the Conservative vote. I can see a a Labour land slide in the next election and the Lib Dems may even be the largest party in opposition.
Anyway back to the Israel what next topic.
All Israel will achieve is to ensure HAMAS or who ever takes over from them will have a constant stream of Palestinians willing to take up arms against Israel.
A lesson from recent history. When the Parachute Regiment lost control in Londoderry and shot dead 13 civil rights protesters. They handed the likes of Martin McGuinness & Gerry Adams and the Provo IRA all the so called IRA Volunteers they needed for the next 40 years.
Israel is doing the same thing massacring Innocent Palestinians in there thousands but by doing that they are driving young men into the arms of terror groups.

Re: Israel what is next???
Ah !well then not called the Holyland for nothing. Not sure if that region ever has had peace death and destruction. If history is correct there was a fella who dared challange the those who were so called religious leaders. They trumped up charges against him and then had him sentenced to death.

A change in American policy will bring Israel to heel.

Re: Israel what is next???
I think it must the weather, constant rain not very enjoyable to go for a morning or afternoon stroll. So what happens ?All the nutcases, extreme right wing idiots and computer game heroes who are bored head for a site that was set up to bring together MN crews and those with an interest in the sea.
There must be a place which welcomes conspiracy theorists and fantasist's like you.
THIS IS NOT IT.

Re: Israel what is next???
Thanks for mentioning the bringing together MN crews . I notice a recent joiner to the site a Michael Wilde who supplied no info. On himself. If he reads this are you any relation to the lady of same name looking for her father Capt.Wilde who I said I knew and heard no more. If you are then I knew him when working for Chowgules . Welcome to the site. JS.
It used to be if a seaman oneself one’s dis. Number was displayed and if not one introduced themselves and proper explanations why not ? Without fear or favour those who werent even asked have their number displayed for all to see. Others don’t.so every mad dog and so called Englishman can come and go at will. JS.

Re: Israel what is next???
Hi all. I don't normally post. I take a look in every now and again. My Dad was in the MN and I'm on here in respect of his duty given. I've been reading this thread and if anyone is interested in what is TRULY GOING ON in this world right now, this link will take you to a few verses that will enlighten you to the TRUTH. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org...The-End-Times/ Have faith in Jesus to lead you to the next life, before you take your last breath and He will welcome you with open arms. I've only just become faithful (NOT religious, as this is what causes wars, Jesus hated religion and He calls us away from it and into a relationship with Him, like a best friend) I do hope you give it a look, if you aren't already "In Christ" and may God bless you all. Thank you all for what you did for us in the past, present and future.

Re: Israel what is next???
It is sometimes better not to know what is going on. Most people wouldn’t be able to handle it, in any case. When your own end is nigh is when you look for salvation in what you believe is the last seconds of your life. Any disbelief you have held in all your existence suddenly disappears, it could nearly be said one sees the light. If one hasn’t experienced this then one still has that pleasure to come one might say. Been there and done that and today in most things have an open mind. Mankind is very fallible and only here for the ride.
