Dear Joe,

«ultimately they have to put such religious foolishness behind them»

Foolishness - certainly, but it has everything to do with nationalism and nothing to do with religion.

Going to heaven is probably the most foolish thing to do. If there indeed was such a ladder there, then I would cordon it from all sides to prevent fools from trapping themselves in heaven. Jews on the other hand are not interested in heaven - but in meat. They want that same place so they can re-establish there the world's biggest slaughter-house.

If it was up to me, then I would store all the world's nuclear waste on that hill, so it becomes like Chernobyl and Fukushima where no fools can enter.

I fully agree with your list of priorities!

Dear Joe,

You really do need to read Loewenstein's book
to get the full picture.

I find Lowenstein's philosophy childishly naive. His suggestions that Israel pulls back to the 1967 borders as a prelude to negotiations is a complete joke, as concessions in the past by Israel have never yielded any improvement in behaviour of the Arabs. Israel has always been prepared to trade land for peace, as they did with Egypt after yet another unprovoked attack in 1973. The Arabs can create an independent state, but both parties need to sit at a table without preconditions.

In the meantime the US will continue supporting the only democratic country in the Middle east whilst terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah try to destroy it.

It is ironic that Western governments and the vast
majority of the Western media elite solidly support
Israel and its "security" measures against the
Palestinians, yet Zionist lobbyists still argue that
only complete obedience is acceptable.

"One would think", writes an Israeli journalist
" that Israel was not a nuclear regional
superpower possessing the fourth most powerful army
in the world, but a shaky sanctuary where Jews are
annihilated by the thousands every day."

Irael's treatment of the Palestinians has been nothing
short of shameful. Israel's legitimacy is now in doubt.
The response should not simply be to label critics as
antisemites but to begin focusing on justice for both
Israelis and Palestinians and not just on military might.

The Jewish state can only ignore world opinion for so
long.

Dearest Foxy,

Turkey's treatment of Kurds has been nothing short of shameful.

Assad's treatment of the Sunni majority has been nothing short of shameful.

Pakistan's treatment of Shi'ites has been nothing short of shameful.

Indonesia's treatment of ethnic Chinese hs been nothing short of shameful.

Sudan's treatment of South Sudanese has been nothing short of shameful.

Egypt's treatment of Copts has been nothing short of shameful.

Duterte's treatment of the poor in the Philippines has been nothing short of shameful.

Every one of those oppressed groups number in the TENS of millions.

Welcome to the world, Foxy :)

Love,

Joe

Dear Joe,

So what you're saying by your litany of listed
abuses around the world - that it's OK for
Israel to continue with their abuse of the
Palestinian people.

Shame on you.
