JUST A THOUGHT - THE WORLD REACTIONS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RECOGNITION OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL. PART 5.

-





Well, probably not, because, as I have already noted, the United States of America supports the State of Israel unconditionally. 

Secondly, the Americans are not generally known for offering Israel's governments judicious advice. And will either not criticise Israel's injurious actions towards the Palestinians, or asserts that the country has the 'right to defend itself.'  

Irrespective, it seems, of however much force it chooses to use. Making no distinction between where 'defensive actions' end, and offensive and excessive punitive military action begins.  

And, thirdly, Israel's governments, especially those which include right wing, conservative, orthodox parties, have a tendency not to listen to the advise of the Americans, and/or the Europeans, for that matter.


And, finally, the Americans have no incentive to pressure the State of Israel into negotiating a mutually beneficial and peaceful and just settlement with the Palestinians. 

Why? Because they are probably getting all that they want from the relevant states in the Middle East. 

Good, strong economic, trading and strategic relations with the Saudis, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, and with the Sunni-Muslim countries of the world. 

Appraising its current relations with the countries of the Middle East, and thinking strategically, the United States, not being a country which is imbued with the spirit of 'fraternite, equalite, and liberte.' 


Is not going to see any significant and obvious material gains, in advocating justice for the Palestinians, and actually taking effective steps to bring it about.

Well, alright, then, that much is obvious, based on the outcome of America's 'honest brokering' of the conflict, to date. 

All of which loudly proclaims that the Palestinians, the Arabs of the Middle East, the Muslim peoples of the world, are mistaken, if not foolish and lazy, in expecting the Americans to judiciously resolve the Palestinian-Israeli crisis.

In this respect, then, it is probably surprising that the world, and Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims in general, should be so shocked by President Trump's Christmas present to Benjamin Netanyahu.

So, if not the Americans, what about the Europeans, including the British, who have done so much to help to create the current crisis. 

What about them taking the lead responsibility for bring about a just and rational settlement of the crisis? 

Well, here again, that is something which is not going to happen. Because of a number of reasons. 

The first probably being the religious affinity between Judaism and Christianity. The second being the fact that the European establishment, governments, feel that they owe it to the State of Israel to not place any serious pressure on it, however great the provocation. 

As a quid pro quo for their centuries of anti-semitism, and failure to prevent Hitler and his Nazi's Holocaust. 

To be continued!

   It is unlikely that things were ever getting better. But, at least the Palestinians were alive, they had their homes, their roads, water, electricity, the basic requirements for having at least a basic life.  They had more freedom of movement in their 'reservations' than they have now, with the storm troopers crawling over and around them as so many wasps.  So, yes, it is likely that, for the majority of Palestinians who are being forced to pay the price the Zionist Israeli State has decided to extract from them, the attack of 7th October might be considered to have been a tactical mistake by Hamas and the other Resistance Fighters. And yet, it could be the case that the overall and eventual outcome of the attack for the Palestinian people will be a positive one. It has broken the then impasse, the stalemate in progressing the realisation of a sovereign and viable Palestinian State.  It has forced the nations and international organisations, ordinary people of the world to t

JUST A THOUGHT - ARE PRISONS A SYMBOL OF A PUNITIVE SOCIETY? THE END....

By increasing the number of statutes by which citizens can be criminalised. So as to provide a sufficient supply of inmates for the prison population.   As we have seen, for example, in the United States of America. The so-called most advanced country in the world.   But also undoubtedly, probably the most retrograde one, when it comes to the manufacturing of criminal laws, and administration of 'crime and punishment.'  Since, not only does it make having more prisoners as a necessity, in order to keep the private companies holding and processing them, and the 'law enforcement departments, in business.  But it also encourages corruption amongst all those involved in the crime and punishment industry, through the quest to generate income and profits. Objectives which they seek to achieve by brutalising inmates and increasing their prospects for having to pursing a criminal career.  By ensuring that inmates being discharged from the prison industry are l

  So, what are my thoughts about Hamas' unprecedented attack on parts of Israel, which has resulted in hundreds of men, women and children, some of them soldiers, being killed and thousands of Israelis becoming shocked and traumatised as they have probably never experienced before? And what are my thoughts about Israel's Zionist government's brutal and merciless counter-attack on, not just Hamas' fighters and military, but on all Palestinians and their social, economic and essential infrastructures in both Gaza and the West Bank? The egg did not come 'out of nowhere', and neither did the chicken. Everything of substance and significance has a context which can help us to define and understand it more than we could or would be able to do, without that context.  This principle also applies to Hamas' attack on Israel, just as how it applies to Israel's subsequent and continuing attack on the Palestinians. And so it is that Hamas' attack on Israel was a

AMERICA'S DYSFUNCTIONAL DIPLOMATIC MODEL! PART 1.

Diplomacy ought to be the process by which nations, through their governments, establish and maintain mutually beneficial and peaceful relationships between them; Diplomacy is not, like the Gulf Cooperation Council members and their allies, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the UAE states, trying to bully and intimidate Qatar into doing their bidding, by surrendering its sovereignty.  Neither is diplomacy what the American government is doing, in using sanctions to force the governments of states of Iran, Russia and North Korea, into complying with its demands.  About what action they should or should not take in pursuing what they consider to be in the interest of their countries and people.  No, none of this is diplomacy. Rather it is method of force and compulsion, which is not synonymous with principle or practice of diplomacy.  Which is about the art of establishing and maintaining peaceful and mutually beneficial relationships between different countries.
