According to what we, who do not really know the truth, have been told, so far, Syrian air defence systems have shot down an Israel F.16 fighter plane which was attacking Syrian targets in Syria.  We are also told that the Israeli attack was a response to an Iranian drone having crossed into Israeli airspace. No mention of the drone having carried out any attacks on Israeli.  And, for those who might be inclined to argue that that is a moot point, because, the act of encroaching into Israel's airspace is itself an act of aggression.  It is relevant to bear in mind the fact that Israel is the archetypal encroacher into its neighbours' airspace. It treats Lebanon's airspace as its own, and brazenly invades Syria's airspace at will.  Yes, two wrongs might not make a right, but, with Israel's disdainful approach towards its neighbours, that dictum should not be applied.  Israel should be willing to take as much, or even a fraction of the harm and

What might her boyfriend, partner, husband or other relative might have done to have led to him having been incarcerated in this prison?  What had he done and/or been found guilty of, no doubt after the due process of the law, which warranted him.  Who is probably a father, a husband and bread-winner being judicially removed from his family and forced to live away from them, behind the walls of this prison?  Might he a drug dealer, making his living off the misfortune of those who have become addicted to drugs, or who resort to using it  for 'recreational' purposes?'  Or, might he have been someone who have an established a life of crime, making a 'profession' out of breaking the law?  Of course, he might have been someone who has been incarcerated for a crime of violence which has resulted in serious harm to another person or persons.  Probably even to this woman who was now dutifully visiting him. It is not inconceivable for it t

Presently, there is a deadly, indeed, catastrophic upsurge in the violence in Syria.  So great that we should all hope that it is really the 'death throttle' of the terrible proxy war which has cursed Syria and her people for the past 8 years.  Eight years which has seen life being replaced by death. Eight years which has seen probably the greater part of Syrian having become used to death, maiming and destruction of humans, animals, property and land.  Eight years during which insanity has become the 'new sanity.' During which the ordinary lives of Syrians have become wasted, savaged and debased. At the end of 2017 there was a glimmer of hope of the corner of this deadly conflict being  brought to an end.  Indeed, we should still continue to think that this is so, despite the new upsurge in the conflagration.  With Turkey having invade Syria in its mission to drive the YPG out of Afrin and Manbij.  With the American coalition indicating its

Of course, difficult as it might be for your doctor to always, or, even oftentimes make an accurate diagnosis of what ails you.   It is quite another matter for this hippocratic professional to prescribe for you the most appropriate and efficacious remedy for your illness.  This is not surprising, since the provider of the remedy, where it is a pharmaceutical product, comes within the remit of another specialist.  The drug manufacturing industry. It is to the drug manufacturers to whom your doctor must look.  In finding a relief or cure, when he/she resorts to a medicinal option to treat you.  As he/she does not  manufacture, monitor and carry out research into the effects of the medicine they are about to prescribe for your diagnosed illnesses.   They must rely on the self-interested information provided by the drug manufacturers. So, how do you, the patient, know that your diagnosis is accurate, and that you are getting the most efficacious and non-detrimental medicat

The people of Poland lost millions of their compatriots, including 3 million Polish Jews, during the Second World War.  Following the invasion of Poland by the Nazis, thousands of Poles left the country and joined the armies of other countries to fight against the Germans. The Polish Government has now felt it necessary to pass a law making it illegal for Poles, at least to make statements. Declaring that the country was complicit in the Holocaust which the Nazis had perpetrated against the Jews they took to the Death Camps.  In effect, the Government of Poland is saying that, Poland, as a sovereign country and nation, was not a party to Hitler's and his Nazis' heinous crimes against the Jewish people of Europe. Now, the current government of Poland is not know for its liberalism, for having a liberal approach to human rights issues. It is, for example, a Pis taker, to use a colloquialism, when it comes to women's rights issues, such as abortion. 

But let us not forget or overlook the significance of context. Since, as is the case today, there has never been a time, probably, in the history of humans.   When  all men aligned themselves against all women, or when some women had not also supported those men who had aligned themselves.  Or accepted the spurious legitimisation of the attribution of an inferior status or position onto women. Just as how all the white citizens of European countries that were engaging in the slave industries of the West Indies and the Americas.  Were not all beneficiaries of the slave trade, and/or equal and direct beneficiaries.   So, also, is it the case that all men are not beneficiaries of the suppression, oppression, exploitation and domination of women.  All genders, men and women, have their own more immediate battles to fight, in what is really a war.  The poor and exploited working and unemployed men of the past had probably more than enough on their plate.  Having t

But, there is also another party who has a vested interest Formula 1's use of these women.  The women who are employed for this purpose. The women who have been able to earn at least a race's income from performing this duty.  The women who are being afforded the opportunity of some 'free publicity' on the world's media, which could result in bigger things and earnings for them.  The 'Track Parade women' who must now lose their jobs, because of the perceptions, the pressures and the 'political correctivity' other people.  The 'women's rights activists and advocates', who appear to see nothing wrong with denying some women the right to do the kind of job they want and are willing to do.  The advocates for 'equal rights for women', who apparently see nothing wrong with deciding how other women should dress and how much of their 'inherent sexuality can be displayed, can be on show to men. All of which begs

So, Formula 1 Grand Prix  has decide to stop using 'sexily attired young women' to appear parading with their all male drivers at the beginning and end of their races.  The response from different interests to this seminal development has been mixed.  There are those who welcome this action, probably arguing that it brings to an end what they see as the 'demeaning symbolic use' of women to 'glamourise' the sports.  It does not matter to those who share this argument, that Formula 1 Grand Prix, with its stables of exciting young racers and flashy racing cars, does not really need the added input of these 'sexily dressed' young women to add glamour to it.  And then, there are those who would argue that using these women - some women, including the advocates of gender equality, enigmatically, prefer to refer to themselves, even after they have attained a certain age, as 'girls' - pander to men's sexual fantasies and sexual
