But one so called environmentalist said the other day,
'The increase in volcanic activity and earth tremors has been brought about by an increase in emissions'???????????
And of course we are all expected to believe them, who are we to argue with them.
We have only traveled around the world numerous times and seen it all before!!!
Bbbbbut....who defines 'normal' ??

Re: Am I right or wrong
My sympathies had always been with Israel until their over the top assault on the Palestinians who are not Hamas. Hamas's October crimes made me think "how could they hate Israel so much". So I started doing a bit of research, which turned into a lot of research, wondering why Palestinians kept abandoning their farms and towns to the Israelis. The answers are shocking and the subject is forbidden in Israel. And with Biden's Jewish connections they will banned in the US too. There are a few documentaries, some by Israelis who are on their government's blacklist, which help to explain the in justices. "Al Nakba", "Jenin, Jenin", and "Tantura". They're banned in Israel of course.

Re: Am I right or wrong
While we all agree HAMAS and HESBOLA are bad it cannot be said that all the citizens of both countries are regular members or even subscribe to them.
In the case of GAZA they are stuck in a very small land controlled too much by Israel.
The general public have suffered in total for the dealings of just some, but Notayahoo looks at it in a different light.
To him all in GAZA must go, one way or another.
This is not defense of Israel, this is his form of terrorism.

Re: Am I right or wrong
Once a year w have infantry exercises by soldiers from th Military College in Canberra, the creep around the streets of Cooma at night, and have live fire exercises in the bush. I would hate them to fire on the civilian population just because they voted for the party the Army didn't approve of.

Re: Am I right or wrong
Hamas releasing the hostages would give Israel no further reason to continue, the blame lies with both, Israel for the aggression and Hamas for continuing to hold the hostages.Why aren't the Palestinian people not protesting against Hamas holding the hostages?

Re: Am I right or wrong
Understand one thing about terror organisations, refuse to do there bidding and you will be executed. People say why do the Palestinians not denounce HAMAS,try it and you will be shot. I had a friend only last year got a knock on the door. Opens the door and a guy is standing there with a parcel. I want you to keep this until I either come for it or send somebody to collect it. No way , bugger off. Apparently the bloke pulls a photo of his wife and daughter out and says your choice, lovely family you have there. He accepted the parcel and when the guy turned up to collect it he was caught on CCTV the police had fitted. Cops lifted him. Police moved the family out and they now live in a different area. Goes on all the time in certain areas of Merseyside , drug gangs. Exactly the same way as terror groups operate.

Re: Am I right or wrong
Sounds as if that pert of the world is learning from mid east countries.
But yes, the terrorists hold the locals in a form of hostage situation.
If you want to live you do as we say.
Not much removed from some dictatorships mover the years.
