Gaza Stripped: The expansionist Jewish State of Israel and the consequences

Gaza stripped: the Expansionist Jewish State of Israel 

Not a day goes by without yet another massacre. Not a day goes by without more violence. The repercussions of what is happening in Palestine are now spreading worldwide.

In Britain, of all places, the country is being shaken and the inaction of those supposed to take action is generating an environment in which the struggle will take over the streets. If there is bloodshed in the streets then we must prepare ourselves for widespred civil unrest.

Britain/Palestine/Israel: Murder campaign continues and protesters are being repressed

Britain used to be part of the so called Free World. Not anymore. While the images of people being murdered as they try to reach for food continue to spread across the world, British authorites influenced by those we cannot criticize increase repressive measures. Now, protesting againts mass murder is classified as terrorism. Sooner than later there are going to be extremely serious consequences in Britain itself.

Dame Stella Rimington stated in the Houses of Parliament that the then Security Services did not have the necessary manpower to follow every lead. Today, in fact, no matter how many repressive measures are implemented to prevent people from protesting there will come the time when protests will become explossive and so widespread that British authorities will have created a lethal National Security crisis.

As trust in British authorities is going downhill, what we see saw some years ago after an incident inTottenham will be nothing compared to what is coming. As some Conservative comentators indicated, Civil War in Britain is just a matter of time. Poverty, discontent, sheer hatred, spreading criminality and lack of trust are a highly flammable mix.

England is starting to look like Northern Ireland and the rise of an English Republican Army is not inconceivable. Most elected representatives are like the French Aristocrats shortly before July 14th 1989. Those in privileged positions ignore the dangers that exist in feudal Britain. Politicans talk about numbers and "savings" with complete disregard for the desperate circumstances a growing number of peoples in Britain face. If this was not enough, they are standing for mass murder and in favour of repressing and silencing those who understandably stand against mass murder.

 

Israelis killed in USA: soft targets are sitting ducks

What is generally ignored is that Israelis outside Isral are sitting ducks. In fact, any Jewish person outside Israel is a sitting duck. 

Whoever wants to strike can do so. In this particular case, it is believed that the culprit is now in Police custody, but the case could well be that attackers can attack at will without ever been caught. Of course, Jews can slaughter Palestinians in the occupied territories, but the world is much bigger than Israel or the rest of Palestine.

In this particular case, it seems to have been a random attack, but if the attackers were better organised and wanted maximum effects, they would go after well known personalities all over the world and suddenly the world media would be talking about attacks thus giving others who might be thinking about engaging in acts of violence the motivation to do so.

And as genocide and ethnic cleansing continue unabated and Benjamin Netanyahu states that he has no intention to stop, a world in which about a third of the world population are Muslims the chances of  widespread attacks happening are increasing on an hourly basis.

Israel: so the truth has been revealed. Total occupation of Palestine.

So there is no point in denying what is obvious. Genocide and ethnic cleansing. This has been the objective all along: a Palestine without Palestinians and as soon as the Palestinian Question (Judenfrage, according to Adolf Hitler) is solved, Israel will continue its expansionist move towards its neighbours including Lebanon and Syria. International Law is dead. It is a meningless concept. Israel is using Adolf Hitler´s logic. If you can take it and keep it, it is yours.

This is the real world in which we live and I cannot criticize other countries for doing what Israel is doing. Israel is setting the standards of what other countries might want to do. Kill or enlave your neighbous. It is alright to do that. So if Colombia wanted to recover Panama, why not? If Germany wanted to recover much of East Germany by force, why not? Gdansk would no longer be Gdansk but Danzig.

If Israel can do it, anybody else can do the same.

 

If Hitler had won World War Two, there would be no Israel

All Jews should put aside all ideological considerations and use their brains and they would come to the natural conclusion that if Hitler had won World War Two by defeating the Soviet Union, then there would have been no Israel. Right up to the point in 1948 when Israel was born, Palestine had been a British Protectorate. If Britain had lost the war, then Palestine would have become a German Territory. As it happened during World War One, the losers in the war lost most of their colonial territories. It happened to Germany after World War One and it would have happened to Britain and France during World War Two. So vast chuncks of the Middle, Africa and Asia would have come under German Rule and the Japanese would taken over the rest, including vast expanses of China.

Soviet Forces liberated Concentration Camps with the British and the Americans coming in as spectators once Concentration Camps had been taken over by Soviet Troops. The famous Balfour Declaration would have meant absolutely nothing and instead of migrating to Palestine, hundreds of thousands would have ended their lives in concentration camps or worse.

Whatever you might think in ideological terms, facts are facts. I wonder also what would have happened if Unternehmen Barbarossa had never happened. Entire German Divisions would with Panzer would have been available at Normandy. The Normandy Invasion would have ended with tends of thousands of American Troops, British Troops and troops of other nationalities falling prisoners of the German Wehrmacht. It must be remembered that many Europeans of countries occupied by Germany were pro-German and went on to fight for Germany. So nothing was clear cut.

When talking about history, we must put ideology aside and look at the historical facts of what happened on the battlefields.

Looking at the history of Japan and at events leading to the attack in Pearl Harbour, Admiral Yamamoto was totally against the Axis. He thought that signed a deal with Germany was against Japanese best interests. In the end, the Axe was against Germany itself. If the Axis had not existed, then the Americans would have been at war in the Pacific but would not have been at war in Europe, Africa or Middle East. President Roovevelt used Pearl Harbour as justification to spread the war. Germany made a significant mistake when it declared war against the USA.

Looking at present conflicts, it must be remembered that World War Two (or World War One, for that matter) did not happen all at once. There was a series of conflicts that started long before September 1939. Japanese expansion in Asia started long before World War Two. There was also the Spanish Civil War to consider. Each conflict became a step towards the conflict that we know as World War Two.

Sudan: Yet another Civil War and more problems related to migration affecting EU and United Kingdom

 

Sudan: Another ongoing Civil War and the consequences for the rest of the world

On April 15th 2025, G7 countries issued a declaration regarding an ongoing civil war in Sudan that has taken more than a 100,000 lives. The mess is not merely a Civil War as the factions involved in the conflict are getting support from external operators, thus transforming a Civil War into a Geopolitical Conflict.

The rich northern region of Sudan is inhabited by Arabs and Muslims and the poor souuthern region of the country is inhabited by Christians. Oil and Gold are very much part of the picture.

After Sudan became independent, after being part of a protectorate shared by Egypt and the United Kingdom, the country endured a dictatorship and now, since 2023, has been the scenario of a bloody civil war.

Of course, Sudan is a huge market for the illegal weapons trade. A Civil War is de facto a market for selling weapons and this creates a financial incentive for organised crime to earn vast amounts of money.

As any conflict does, it generates vast numbers of refugees that have been flocking to Europe and one of the countries affected is Britain. Some of them seen as refugees are economic migrants that are draining national economies that offer welfare support. This complicates even more the already complex situations affecting Western Europe. Money is being spent as welfare payments and monies are being spent to support those who flee to neighbouring countries and there are even aid organisations operating inside Sudan. Looking at the geographic location of Sudan, we see that south of Sudan we find the Democratic Republic of Congo where another military conflict is taking place. Conflicts can spread into other countries that themselves have been suffering from internal conflicts.

So there are massacres everywhere. Just across the Red Sea we have got Palestine, Lebanon and Syria where there are also ongoing armed conflicts and there is also the potential of new conflicts spreading across the Middle East and Asia Minor. And there is also the very possible surge of armed struggles in Asia as economic wars could turn into armed conflict between big operators.

Benjamin Netanyahu needs permanent war to remain in power

 

Benjamin Netanyahu needs permament war to remain in power

Two men represented hope for Israel: Ariel Sharon and Yitzhak Rabin. Ariel Sharon ordered the withdrawal from Gaza and Yitzhak Rabin actively engaged in peace talks that could have led to the two state solution.

Unfortunately for the Jewish peoples, Benjamin Netanyahu is using war as a way to remain untouched by Israeli Courts prosecution. So now, there are bombings everywhere, including the end of a fragile ceasefire that he was forced to accept and he sought to breach as soon as possible. So the Murder Campaing continues. He perfectly knows that words like annexation mean no peace for the foreseeable future.

Gullible individuals call Israel "our greatest ally", something that Israel was not, is not and will never be, as those in charge follow their own agenda that puts everybody else in danger and this includes Jews around the World as the present Israeli government is the best promoter of hatred against Jews.

Israel breaches ceasefire and kills 400 Palestinians

Israel aka Benjamin Netanyahu breached ceasefire and killed 400 Palestinians

Benjamin Netanyahu has never been interested in any kind of peace. He was initially forced to accept a ceasefire with gritted teeth and has been seeking every opportunity to put an end to it and with it condemning to death the remaining Israeli hostages.

This is the reality of Israel under the foot of Benjamin Netanyahu, a fraudster that has been avoiding Israeli courts by keeping himself in power at the expense of both Palestinians and Israelis. 

4 Days to go: 20 January 2025

 

Whether the Knesset ratifies any ceasefire remains to be seen. President Biden wanted to close his time in office with some big news, but premeditated Jewish delays are already threatening the supposed ceasefire deal as 70 Palestinians are murdered by Israel in the last few hours.

Everybody is expecting big changes in national and international politics. Panama Canal built by USA to be controlled by USA. Another USA State or more than one new USA States? And when you talk about the Gulf, it might not be about Middle East or Asia Minor but closer to home as the Gulf of Mexico becomes the Gulf of America.

Will Keir Starmer, Zelensky and Ursula von der Leyen be invited to the inauguration of the new American President? Another bit of 'let's wait and see'. Will the now British Foreign Secretary that has repeatedly insulted President Donald Trump be invited to the ceremonial and very formal occasion?

We know that happened to Governor Trudeau that soonafter a meeting with President Trump was given his marching orders. Will other politicians be given their marching orders? Again, let's wait and see. In Germany, a Federal Election can dramatically change the political environment in Germany and in France the new Prime Minister is fighting for his survival and being threatened with a no confidence vote. Will he last until July 2025 when new French Assembly Elections can take place.

And in Britain, Keir Starmer is losing cabinet members as trees lose leaves in the autumn. Will Rachel Reeves remain in her post? Let's see what she can come up with in the new budget. Although inflation is said to have fallen, the fall has nothing to do with announced financial measures that will only come into effect in April 2025. Let's see what happens to inflation after April 2025 when the real picture of the British economy will come to the surface. 

Rishi Sunak vs Keir Starmer?

Recent years in Britain has been the scene of a political catastrophe, from David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak to the soon to be Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Is this a fait accompli or could there be other developments in the making?

Looking at the teams - and this is about teams - what are the major differences between the two teams?

This is a specially tricky time both in national affairs and in international affairs. There are major concerns in terms of international events that could send countries over the edge. We need to look in both directions - across the Atlantic to see what is happening in the USA and across the Channel to see what is happening in France. If the unthinkable happens, whoever is Prime Minister in Britain might be dealing with Donald Trump in the USA and with Marine Le Pen in France.

Could we end up with a hung Parliament? Could the unthinkable happen leading to a Conservative win, whatever tight it might be?

If anything, apart from mass media reactions and the fact that not less than 73 Conservative MPs announced that they will not be standing for re-election, there is widespread apathy. Could the Labout Party be divided along national borders, ethnic differences and ideological differences to the point that an easy victory can turn out to be not just a tight victory but also a tight defeat?

Who can we believe? Can we believe mass media? Both major parties are losing membership support and voters are crossing new boundaries. Both Greens and Reform did pretty well all things considered and this in local elections - particularly in London. Could disaffected voters look for other alternatives?

Geopolitics: Those who are at the bottom of the pile, get the worst deal

 

What the conflict in Palestine has proven once again that you only get justice if you are powerful. From this point of view Adolf Hitler was absolutely right. The winner will not be accountable. Therefore, the aim is to win by whatever means.

If you have power, you have friends. If you don't have power, you are on your own and bound to suffer the consequences of being weak.

This is why the death of 1400 Israelies was used as a justification to kill more than 36,000 people in Palestine and demolish entire tows and is also used as justification to raid properties and throw out and/or kill its occupants because... because they are not strong enough to resist.

Justice can be bought by having enough powerful friends and enough money. Countries that exist in the most disastrous conditions don't get any financial support. Quite the opposite. They are forced to hand out their national resources while Israel gets several billions of US Dollars and the military support of others including the United Kingdom.

Morality tells that you should not sell weapons used for Genocide, but money is more important that morality and this is why politicians paid by British taxpayers are more than happy to go out and support genocide and ethnic cleansing.

World is ruled by force: Might is Right

 

From the very beginning, some people in Israel have sought inspiration on the pages of Mein Kampf - the political manifesto of Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler stated very clearly in Mein Kampf that 'Might is Right' and Israel has followed this to the extreme.

If you can take it and keep it, it is yours. Looking at the map of 1948 and comparing the map of 1948 with what happened afterwards, it is plainly obvious that Israel follows the principles stated by Adolf Hitler.

Adolf Hitler stated that the winners will have nothing to prove or justify in terms of accountability as the winners will be accountable to no one and this is exactly what has been happening. Israel makes International Law as it goes along and completely ignores the International Community. Israel has maintained millions of peoples under occupation, carrying out ethnic cleansing, dispossession, and murder.

I doubt very much that this is what the forefathers of Israel actually wanted. Israel has been taken over by psychopaths and murderers whom, by their actions, are putting in danger millions of Jews across the world. They are the champions of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments. They promote Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments. If you want to blame somebody for the rise of Anti-Semitism and Anti-Jewish sentiments across the world, blame those in authority in Israel and those outside Israel that support atrocities being committed by Israelis in the Middle East.

Eminent Jews that denounce the atrocities committed by the present Israeli government end up being attacked by psychopaths that rule Israel and their supporters.

In Memoriam: Investigation reveals that using AI Israeli forces targetted 37,000 people, knowing that most of them were innocent

 

Aid workers were not targetted by accident. It was a deliberate attack against aid workers. The Israeli government is also attacking diplomatic personnel and bombing embassies.

The perception of war is different from reality

 The Perception of War is different from Reality

Throughout history, the outcome of wars has been reported as victories and defeat, conquests, and so forth, but the reality of war has escaped proper consideration.

Even in victory there has been a price to pay to win. For those who were tragically injured or killed there is no victory. There is also no defeat. It is the end of their lives. There is no recovery. Even if they survive, life will no longer be what it was.

Warmongers will not often suffer the consequences of what they have instigated. For warmongers, the lives of those they see as enemies don't count, but the lives of those they pretend to be close to don't count either. It is just a matter of numbers. As long as they can claim victory and even if as consequence of their acts there is defeat, they will go around living their lives happily ever after while both presumed foes and presumed friends will suffer dire consequences.

When we see or hear reports about tens of thousands of people dead or injured, names don't count because it would be time consuming or even impossible to determine the identities of those who have lost their lives. The pulverised buildings of what used to be a living city cannot possibly reflect the full story of the tragedy that has occurred. 

On the way to World War Three: This is not the end, not the beginning of the end. It is maybe the end of the beginning

 

Although, officially, the beginning of World War Two was September 3rd, 1939, in actual fact the World War Two started a lot earlier. 

In the early 1930s, Japan was battling it out with China. In 1936, the Spanish Civil War was yet another step. In 1938, the then Czchecoslovakia so much of its territory taken away. So other things were happening long before German troops launched the atttack against Poland.

Palestine, Ukraine and Yemen are just part of the picture. They are steps towards World War Three. All sides, as it usually the case, try to interpret the opponents' movements, according to what they think is the opponents agenda.

The war in Palestine is a war of extermination. The general idea is to get of Palestinians on the way to the creation of the bigger Israel. When Palestinians are out of the way, or even before that, Israel will use any justification to attack its neighbours. Ir is already waging war against Syria and Lebanon and other countries will be attacked.

The conflict in Ukraine has served to clarify the contradictions of a presumed unified European Union. The European Union is a political project and the controversies in terms of lack of support clearly show that behind the facade of unity there are dangerous differences when countries are asked to choose between the political project and their own national interests.

The conflict in Ukraine is only about winning. In the same manner, that Israel has no intention of allowing Palestinians to have a political solution, in Ukraine there is no political solution. So this is war for years to come and in the process other conflicts will appear, conflicts we have been hearing about as possibilities.

We have repeatedly heard the British Prime Minister, the Secretary for Defense and many other major and minor political personalities talking about doing the walking. The fact remains that in the event of any major conflict Britain is desperately ill equipped. One government after another has totally disregarded the need for Britain to be prepared. They have done the talking, but they haven't done the walking. Britain has barely 40,000 people fit for war of a total of about 73,000 - counting administration staff and cleaning personnel. Britain is not even capable of guarding its own borders or patrolling its own territorial waters.We hear talk about long term projects that mention 2035. Well, what has Britain got today in 2023? 

European politicians talk about their fears of yet another President Trump's presidency. Why? Because they fear that USA will walk away from NATO. Why? Because NATO is the USA. If you look at all other NATO members, they don't have the capacity to wage yet another World War. Germany's development was stiffled on purpose. Germany has been prevented from developing its true potential and German politicians will have to make a huge effort to convince German voters that they need to part with more of their tax monies to build infrasture to prepare the country for war. Germany's bridges and Germany's road have not been built to endure tanks and heavy equipment. But this, as important as it is, is practically nothing compared to the fact that Germany does not have neither the material resources nor the emotional preparedness for war. Decades of blame and apologizing for World War Two have left Germany disabled to even defend itself from aggression. And let us remember that Germany is - even it is poor present state - the biggest economy in Europe.

There are two certain possibilities - vertical escalation and horizontal escalation. Vertical escalation means the use of much more advanced weapons. Horizontal escalation means the spread of war beyond the present boundaries, but there is yet another possibility - vertical and horizontal escalation. Lets see how many countries have the capacity to combine both. Look at both sides of the divide to know what will happen next.

Israel: Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned hostages to death

 

The lull in the fighting was a window of opportunity for peace, but peace is not the objective Benjanmin Netanyahu is trying to achieve. His objective is the obbliteration of the Palestinian peoples as attacks are also being carried out in the West Bank.

Families whose relatives were recovered are now to be followed by families whose relatives are going to die as the re-start of hostilities are a death sentence of Israeli hostages.

What he proposed at one time - the exodus of Palestinians to other countries is exactly what Adolf Hitler proposed at the beginning of the implementation of the repression against Jews in Germany and elsewhere. Send them to Madagascar, Adolf Hitler said. Send them to Palestine, Adolf Hitler said. When all options of sending Jews elsewhere failed because of the start of World War Two, the extermination campaign started with the Final Solution meeting. Benjamin Netahyahu's plans to send Palestinians into a Dispora is no different. As Arab and Muslim countries are reluctant to allow ethnic cleansing in Palestine, Israel attacks them for not accepting ethnic cleansing.

Attacks against Palestinian farmers and erradication of Palestinian in entire areas of the West Bank is no different from the Pogroms carried out against Jewish peoples during before and during World War Two.

Conservative government: What next?

 Conservative Government: What next?

Since the days of Boris Johnson and in spite of then then 80 seat majority, the Conservative Administration has been plagued by both issues that they could not possible foresee and control and by situations that arose because of measures they took that turned into yet another crisis.

The Covid Pandemic declared in March 2020 put everybody to the test and lockdown measures adopted to apparently tackle the pandemic generated a whole new series of issues, increasing divisions within the Conservative Government. It was about 'Lockdown or no Lockdown'. 

The start of declared hostilities in Ukraine was yet another test. Sanctions against the Russian Federation backfired and produced an energy crisis that destabilized the British Economy. The long standing stability with low prices and low interest rates gave way to higher interest rates and higher prices that in turn produced a series of strikes and forced the government to add more protection measures on top of the protective measures adopted during Lockdown to prevent a sudden rise in unemployment due to lack of economic activity.

Once the government started to regain control the crisis in Palestine opened a whole new can of worms. The fact that people immediately took sides reflects the tribal nature of Britain and this, unavoidably, led to yet another reshuffle to try and have some kind of equilibrium both in national terms and in terms of geopolitics.

All the way, from Covid, going through Lockdown, sanctions against the Russian Federation that led to rising inflation and the present issues involving Palestine, fractures within political parties became fairly visible. It is like walking on a high rope without a balancing pole. As the saying goes, 'keep your friends close and your foes even closer'. Loyalties are being tested to destruction. If Britain were to be involved in a real war tomorrow morning, this is a government that is struggling to survive until the next General Election due to take place in May 2024 and that will not be capable of dealing with war at home and war abroad. What would a General Election in 2024 achieve? For starters, it could be change, even if it is change for change sake. Having said that, when you look at what is happening across the home nations, political realities are much too complex to be able to foresee what the outcome of a General Election would be. 

North of the border, at times it looks like the SNP will collapse. At times it looks like any expectations about the demise of the SNP are very much an exaggeration. In Wales, the Labour administration might be unpopular, but then people might decide to stick to what they have got for fear of worse political realities. In Northern Ireland, political paralysis is a reality with Sinn Fein winning spaces and without a cross party agreement to return to the Northern Ireland Assembly. In England, the mainstream political parties are fragmented depending on what are the most important issues according to regions.

There are far too many issues that generate divisions both in terms of national politics and of international politics. You cannot promise one thing to please one side without alienating another side and you don't have the luxury of being vague in terms of where you stand politically.

In a few months time, the warmongers of today will be history

Whether it is USA, Britain, Germany, France, et cetera, one thing is certain: key warmongers of today will not be around for long.

How much time has Biden left? How much time has Rishi Sunak left? How much time Scholz and Macron have left?

Look at America. What is happening in Latin America? There was a time when in Uruguay the Colorado Party has an almost completely monopoly of power. Then came the Partido National, the other Conservative Party of Uruguay. What happened next? The Frente Amplio (Broad Front) took the reins of power and the conservative parties of Uruguay could only come back as a coalition. 

What is happening in Argentina, in Chile, in Brazil, even in Bolivia? The old certainties have disappeared. The Partido Justicialista arrived completely divided in the October round of elections to select the new Argentinian Parliament - with barely 30 something of support compared to a completely political grouping that also got 30 something. Now, we wait for the second round of elections to see who is elected President of Argentina and on what basis. If Milei manages to attract the attention of younger generations chances are that he could be the winner replacing both Justicialistas and Radicales. But as political commentators remarked during the first round of elections, the issue is fundamentally not who is in charge but what can whoever is in charge do to revert a 134% rate of inflation.

Strategies to scare people and deter them from supporting alternative political forces are failing to do the job. People don't want continuity. They want positive changes. They are tired of a bit of the same. In Germany of all places the idea of banning a political force that already represents more than twenty per cent of the electors is a sign of desperation. Olaf Scholz knows that he is walking on a high rope with failing political partners. The SPD tried to distance itself from CDU/CSU as coalition member precisely because it was losing support. FPD is losing support and SPD itself is losing support. So how will the German coalition last? In spite of what politicians and mass media say, how feasible is a coalition of Alternative für Deutschland and other conservative groups. In the days of Angela Merkel, local CDU representatives were comfortable enough to work together with Alternative für Deutschland.

France is a bit of a puzzle. Macron is unpopular, but fears about the rise of Rassemblement National motivated some people to support what they did not like. Marine Le Pen did the right thing by choosing to have different young leaders to attract younger generations of voters.

Both in Germany and in France, political parties are exploiting what is happening in Palestine. Never mind what is happening in Palestine if what happens in Palestine helps them promote a certain narrative seeking to advance Nationalism in Germany and in France. Are you really and truly German? Are you really and truly French? Politics moves towards identity politics. You belong or you don't belong. You are part of the national culture or you are not part of the national culture. Multiculturalism is seen as a failure and Identity politics is no friend of Multiculturalism.

In Britain, with differences in political language approach, the message is clear: 'Multiculturalism is becoming a National Security issue' and the Home Secretary - herself a member of an ethnic minority - is investing a lot of political capital going against Multiculturalism. She does not explicitily say it, but the nature of what she is saying is obviously going against Multiculturalism. Other political operators are less shy and strictly say 'that is not British, they are not British'. She is diving the country and Mosques are becoming a target again. Not a target for people like Paul Golding that has dedicated his political career to attack Mulisms. They are becoming a target for the privileged political classes, because the privileged classes are closer to Jewish interests than they are to Muslim interests.

For one reason or another, Identity Politics is being promoted by people who used to say that they stood against Identity Politics. In a reversal of roles, Identity Politics is not been promoted by now defunct political forces like the BNP, the National Front or Britain First. Identity Politics is coming from the very top of British politics. Listen to commentators like Nigel Farage. What is he constantly talking about?

Whatever happens today you must remember that the warmongers of today will shortly be history. Even hawkish scarecrow Mr John Bolton might not be around too long. He criticizes Joe Biden saying that Jo Biden is not aggressive enough. Well, John Bolton was fired by President Trump because John Bolton wanted President Trump to be more aggressive. In retirement, a few cups of lime tea will do John Bolton a lot of good.

 

 

Palestine: People are dying by the thousands, but in UK and in other places it is as if nothing is happening.

I witness events in disbelief. It is not the first time something similar happens. We have just become desensitized. We see it as natural. Like Stalin said: one death is a tragedy, a million death is a statistic.

Most of us are sitting comfortably. Most of us are not even thinking about it. Some will be using what is happening in Palestine to promote their own agendas that have nothing to do with what is happening in Palestine. The method is well known and it is all 'Generalization'. In Europe, anti-Muslim agendas and anti-Jewish agendas are not new and the causes vary, but the real issues are vastly different from what is happening in Palestine. The realities are completely different, but most ignore the differences and create what I call anti-Muslim packages and anti-Jewish packages as justification to promote their own agendas. This is lamentable, but it is part of the political mix.

Somebody is blue and is a killer. I happen to be blue and therefore people will assume - for the benefit of their own agendas - that because I am blue I am also a killer. This is what I refer to as 'Generalization'. Politicians use Generalization. Mass Media use Generalization. It is the kind of over simplification that leads to violence. It is irrational, but it premeditated.  

Teaching children about fairness is the wrong thing to do. The world is about power.

The world is about power. Not fairness.

We have spent generations after generations teaching children about fairness and giving them a very idealitic view of the world that is not real. The world is run by opposites and a status quo is established when all parties know that there is a risk when trying to go beyond that status quo. This is why borders tend to be respected but borders can suddenly change as a consequence of a conflict. If a party is not strong enough to prevent a change of borders then it becomes a conflict leading to a fait accompli and a new status quo is established.

The history of the world is a history of changing boundaries and conflicts. Is there a country that wasn't born because of conflict? Wars of aggression, wars of independence, wars, wars, wars. The United States of America celebrate today the 4th of July and the Declaration of Independence, but even after the 1776 Declaration of Independence fighting went on. So the creation and further expansion of the United States of America happened because of wars. Bloodshed allowed the expansion of the United States of America.

The same can be said of many other countries and this tends to be the rule rather than the exception and it is still happening and will continue to happen.

When you look at the map of the British Empire, after a series of expansions came contraction. Territorial acquisitions overseas were lost and even the borders within the British Isles changed. Until 1920, the United Kingdom comprised also the entirety of the islando of Ireland. Since 1920, as a consequence of a treaty, the Republic of Ireland with its capital Dublin was established and Ulster/Northern Ireland in the north remained as a integral part of the United Kingdom. Should movements towards the independence of Scotland eventually succeed or if suddenly Ulster becomes part of a united Ireland because of the Sinn Fein/Ira electoral successes in Northern Ireland caused by both a sudden change of the mood between communities or simply because of demographics - Catholic families tend to have more children, once again the borders of the United Kingdom will be redrawn. One thing we can take from history is that the presumptions in terms of borders can suddenly change. Yugoslavia is a perfect of example of a country that imploded leading to many different countries. In the case of Yugoslavia, the fact is that Yugoslavia itself was from the beginning like pieces of a puzzle. You can go as far as the Austro-Hungarian Empire that included regions or entire countries in terms of countries that are a reality today. Austria and Italy - throughout the history of Europe have exchanged regions. France and Germany's example - Alsace and Lorena - at one time part of Germany and now part of France. Britany and Normandy - once part of the British Empire are now part of France. And we could mention many other cases not just in Europe but across the world. At one point Bolivia had costal waters and that was the case until a conflict between Peru, Bolivia and Chile left Bolivia isolated and having to pay a fee to have access to the Pacific Ocean.

When it comes to Palestine we have yet another example of changing borders and changing owners. The history of Palestine is a history of conflicts between empires and between countries. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed many countries were born, one of them Iraq that itself comprises three distinctive regions. For a brief period Palestine was in the hands of the British until partition led to the creation of the State of Israel and fighting continued between Palestinians and newcomers from Europe that continued the process of expansion taking land from within Palestine and from neighbouring countries. How long will the status quo last? Presumably as long as the parties involved are strong enough to maintain such status quo and this is not a guarantee for any lasting peace.

Going back to Europe, Poland keeps asking Germany for war reparations in spite of the fact that much of the Germany that was before World War Two and before World War One was taken over by Poland and this include a huge chunk of Easter Germany including Danzig and Memel. Danzig is now known as Gdansk. The birthplace of Immanuel Kant, Konisberg is now Kaliningrag in what used to be Eastern Prussia. 

We don't know the outcome of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine - another country that was made up with bit and pieces taken from other countries including Poland, Hungary and Russia. In fact, the present conflict is very much the consequence of the way Ukraine was made with Western Ukraine in direct conflict with Eastern Ukraine - one predominantly Polish and Hungarian and the other predominantly Russian. The conflict is a mix of geopolitical divisions and ethnic divisions.

Borders can change and borders will change. So we can expect that there will be conflict along the way and further bloodshed can be guaranteed. Whether China decides to recover what is know today as Taiwan remains to be seen but there is certainly the prospect of yet another conflict as the multipolar world replaces the bipolar world created by World War Two.
