THE ISRAEL/PALESTINIAN WAR AND HOW ISRAEL'S LATEST ATROCITY MIGHT HAVE SEALED ITS EVENTUAL DEFEAT! P.1

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 great surprise to Israel, especially in terms of the level of intensity, its unexpectedness and almost 'blitzkrieg' nature, and the number of Israelis killed, injured and taken prisoners.

All of that, it was, but the attack did not arise from a state of 'peace between Israel and Hamas and the Palestinian people.' 

The attack occurred during an on-going state of Israeli attacks upon and oppression of the people of Gaza and the West Bank by various means; economical, military, social and political. 

The attack by Hamas had been decades in the making and has been fomented by Israel's usurpation of Palestinian lands for over 70 years, increasing 'settler' attacks one the Palestinian people and the Israeli state stealing Palestinian lands to build more settlements. 

The attack by Hamas has also occured in the face of the European Union, British and American, et al marginalisation and disinterest in acknowledging and helping to pressure Israel into coming to a just and peaceful settlement of the Palestinians' legitimate claim for having their own sovereign state in Palestine. 

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

JUST PHILOSOPHING ON : SOME OF WHAT I HAVE LEARNT FROM LIFE! PART 11.

   I have learnt that these situations are a part of our human condition, and that it is better for us to continue to learn how to manage and live with them, instead of trying to prevent them happening. Living, it might be accurately said, is mostly about managing and coping with the making and losing attachments. And what of having children; what have I learnt from my experience sofar?  Well, in addition to what I have already stated, the challenge presented to parents are very onerous, so much more onerous than many or most first time parent are likely to be prepared for.  The idea of having your 'own' partner and, initially, baby, can be so appealing, romantic.  If you are a man, having your own wife, girlfriend or woman comes with a special status and associated 'rights', 'privileges', 'expectations and roles' and responsibilities and duties.  But probably the most irresistible of these, especially for younger people and those who are more given to w
