Dear Fester,

«I don't think that valuing human lives differently ( the non-specific sense, in contrast to a cv, divine judgement or obituary) is a good idea.»

This may open an interesting new discussion, and surely I could produce arguments for and against valuing human lives differently,
but so far we were discussing the severity of the act of murder/genocide, which is a different question altogether.

To stress this point, in the example I provided, 4 people participated in murdering the exact same person, thus the question of comparing the values of human lives did not arise - yet the severity of their murder varied significantly based on the murderers' station in life.

"Thanks AC. And here I was thinking it was civil war in Syria and Yemen when all along it was the Jews."
Well technically is combination US-Israel policy in Syria in that it's US Foreign policy by Christian Zionists in league with and support of Israel to move forward combined US and Israeli interests, using rebel groups as their proxy army, IS, Al Nusra, SDF funded by USAID.
Do you remember John McCain meeting Syrian rebels?

As for Yemen, well they aren't on Wesley Clarks list of countries to overthrow, and we know those wars / countries are all overthrows for Israels Clean Break policy paper (reshape the M/E) but Yemen is Axis of Resistance, I don't know a lot about Israeli support for the Saudi war against Yemen than I already shared.

Watch that above, I was just hearing him talk about a book discussing 70 U.S. covert regime changes a minute ago.

You thought it was a civil war because that's what governments and the media told you it was.

According to a crank among the usual cranks - they are now a solid mass bereft of individuality and humanity - the killing of Christians by Muslims in Nigeria is “complex”.

It’s OK to describe Israel’s defence of itself as “genocide”, but the slaughter of Christians by Muslims is too “complex” to comment on.

Fortunately, the US President, so despised and hated by the mass of cranks, has warned the Nigerian government of the loss of aid, and the possibility of a visit by American marines.

And what is YOUR view of the Kurds.

Dear Dan,

Out of the blue... my view towards Kurds?

I really appreciate these people - they are democratic, educated and resourceful, their women are free and not discriminated against.

I wish they have a country of their own where they can live without constant pressure, persecution and wars.

At times I was thinking of the West Bank - the local people there culturally belong to Syria and, given there is now peace in Syria that will hopefully remain, will be most happy there, so if at all this is possible, a population exchange could be wonderful, where Kurds from Syria move to the West Bank to form their own state there while the residents of the West Bank (who presently call themselves "Palestinians") receive the Kurdish homes in northern Syria to live among their own people - what a win-win solution!
