JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE FASCISTIC NATURE OF ISRAEL'S OPPRESSION OF THE PALESTINIANS. THE END

They might have 'free' and 'unfree' people. In this case, Jews and Palestinians. But countries like Israel cannot be logically called a 'democracies.'  At least, not an enlightened 'democracy', of which its followers should or can be proud of. And yet, the State of Israel is being made the exception, by its Western apologists.  And is being shown the 'understanding' and 'tolerance' it needs to perpetrate inhumane and brutal acts.  For which other 'civilised' countries would have been roundly and deservedly condemned.  Especially if they happen to be Arabic or Palestinians. When Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is objectively analysed; are there not parallels between how the Nazis treated the Jews and how the State of Israel persecute and oppresses the Palestinians?  Is Israel not the modern day 'Ancient Egyptians' to the Palestinians, who have been placed in the role of the Ancien

Or is it the case that Emmanuel Macron finds much or most of 'Trumpism' repugnant, and is only getting close to Donald Trump to try to 'reason with him.'   To plead and appeal to the vestige of 'good nature' which he, Macron, might be hoping that Trump still has?  If you cannot trust Donald Trump's vision of the United States and of the rest of the world, then, why would you want to risk trusting or appearing to trust, to be a friend of Donald Trump? Or is it that Macron is being a traitor to the rest of Europe, to the European Union.  And is endeavouring to secure 'special favours from the Trump Administration, for France, and at the expense of the rest of Europe and other countries around the world?  A kind of  'La doctrine de chaque nation pour elle-même', doctrine of every nation for itself.' Is this really the vision motivating President Macron?  Or is it about him trying to 'appease' a President who has

5 It might have been thought that, with Kazaliwa’s brother, Mzaliwa, having been doing well in his school work, and acquiring dozens of house points.  That Kazaliwa, despite his probably higher academic potential, felt unable to cope with the pressure of ‘trying to live up to his brother.’  However, it seems unlikely that that would have played much of a role, and that it was more a matter of him just not having any motivation of strong interest in learning.  Despite the fact that he learnt to read at an early age and clearly had the ability to do well. It was more a matter of not wanting to, rather than of not being able to. It did not help that, by the time he was about 13 years old, Kazaliwa had started 'experimenting' with cannabis. And that he would graduate to taking others, including Class C drugs.  All of which would see him becoming addicted remaining so for several years.  This addiction would see Kazaliwa sinking to rock bottom, as it w

Being the arrogant, some would say, trumped up, ironically, little 'wannabe Napoleon' that Emmanuel Macron is. He is, arguably, not able to really speak for Europe and the European Union.  And, seemingly taking a leaf out of Donald Trump's go it alone and 'America First' and 'Making America Great Again', it is not difficult to see how Macron might be 'attracted' to Trump.  Like Trump, Macron was not widely know internationally, and, like Trump, he now wants to make his name and leave a legacy for history.  It might not matter to him that, the President he is role modelling himself on, or Yoing, is also a President who is busily dismantling the modest, positive 'legacy' of a previous American President.  One whose proverbial shoe, he, Trump, might not be considered worthy of wearing. Which probably part of the reason why he has committed himself to demolished Obama's modest legacy. In wanting to be a participan

So, which other country in the 'so-called civilised nations' of the world, amongst which the State of Israel, incongruously places itself.  Could murder a Palestinian journalist with the alacrity with which is forces of occupation have murdered Ahmed Abu Hussein. So, how is it, that a member of the Israeli Defence Force, a weaponised man or woman for whom Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has ultimate responsibility.   Be allowed to shoot down an innocent Palestinian journalist, as if he was no more than a stray dog.  As if his life has no value, which it clearly does not to the State of Israel.  What has been the 'crime' for which the State of Israel, without any known charge, and definitely no trial, murdered AAH, so coldly, so brutally? Why is Israel clearly pursuing a Naziistic policy towards the occupied Palestinians?  A policy which is intended to demonised the Palestinians, to rob or attempt to rob them of their humanity.  So

Judging by the warm embrace which France's impetuous President, Emmanuel Macron, has given the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump.  During the former's recent visit to the latter's lair, it is clear that the relatively young French man is an ardent fan of the Don.  Either that or he, Macron, is an accomplished liar and impostor, both of which, for a politician, are crucial attributes. For a President who very much seems to have pretensions of being to contemporary France and the World.  What Napoleon Bonaparte was in the latter part of the 18th Century and early 19th Century.  It was surprising that Macron has allowed his regal pretence to drop, to the extent where he and Trump behaved like two nervous boys who wanted to get into each others skin.  Two children who wanted to show both how much respect and diffidence they have for each other, but also how 'easy their relationship with each other is.  It is not surprisin

And so it was that Kazaliwa would have been well served with the motto ‘It was not my fault, but their’s.’ Hoc est non culpa, sed eorum 's! Which, according to Google, would, in Latin, have meant  Yes, it was always other people picking on Kaziliwa and provoking or providing him with the excuse of provocation which he just had to respond to. With his reactions tending to be on the excessive side. Indicating a personality which is probably exicitable, passionate, spontaneous and over-optimistic, but also probably quite rigid or inflexible. And tends to interact in the present without any or sufficient time to reflect and make decisions informed by what has been learnt in the past.  Like when he drew blood in attacking J, his then friend , Some angels might have had dirty faces, but Kazaliwa, it would seem, had an ‘aggressive habit.’ Kazaliwa would, as had been mentioned earlier, end up being suspended and then expelled from school.  Because he failed
