Dear Bezza,

«There is a way to cut down the number of wars significantly;»

If you want the cut down the number of wars significantly, the only way is to decrease the ratio between the number of people and available land (and other natural resources).

If you like to submit to Islam, then go ahead my friend, but can you remember how many good Muslims were killed or had their hands chopped off by ISIS?

Muslim Israelis were also murdered on October 7th:
Fatima was a devout Muslim - she was driving and stopped at an intersection to give way to Hamas' motorcycle convoy, she visibly wore the Hijab when Hamas shot her many times, then she managed to say 4 times: "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet": she started the 5th repetition, but died before completing it.

May Allah have mercy on her soul.

Hi Bezza

I posted after reading news reports; "Penny Wong says allegations are deeply concerning as UNRWA investigates several employees accused of taking part in Hamas attacks" I took that to mean there were accusations (by Israel) and UNRWA was investigating certain accused persons. Do you have anything which adds to that? I assume those involved if they were, were low level Palestinians employed by UNRWA in some casual capacity, but never the less it is disturbing.

You are right to be pessimistic, and there is always the chance that “Somewhere down the track some fed up government with Nukes will use them.”

But, we are talking about a very small area here, and there might not be anyone left to enjoy a spot of peace, including people in Israel.

And, if the Middle East were to be corralled off from the West, Israel would suffer too. And the West would need to look for oil elsewhere.

Sanctions might work, and idiot governments like our own could stop donating money that they are well aware is passed on to terrorists.

The biggest problem is that the West, the free world, has lost its mojo under pathetically weak leaders. The rot started with Obama's gutless attitude to Iran. Trump had a different approach, but Biden aped Obama. The lunatics are not frightened of them anymore.

There is one only one hope now: a Donald Trump presidency.

"my claim to your being uninformed is not childish."

It's childish because you have this child like view that disagreeing with your opinion is the same as being uninformed. I have a 10 yr grandson who likewise doesn't see the difference between his opinion and facts.

So you, Foxy, operate on the basis that I'm uninformed because I don't accept your jaundiced opinions. The idea that I'm uninformed because I don't agree with your jihad against Pell is a good example of it. The FACT that Pell was released made not the slightest difference to your opinion that those who disagreed with you were uninformed.

You've made this unsupported and unsupportable claim that I'm uninformed many times in the past and never once offered evidence for it. Indeed on not a few occasions I've suggested you offer supporting evidence for the accusation and each time you demur. There's two reasons for that:

1. There is no evidence that doesn't involve you just asserting that disagreeing with your opinion is the same thing as being uninformed.
2. You have the terrifying thought that if you went down that road, I'd reciprocate with the myriad errors of FACT that you've made over the journey, which would both be highly embarrassing and rather injurious of your rather over-blown opinion of your own opinion.

Paul, the UN announced that they had sacked the ones they received evidence about their activity.
Also there has been talk for some years that UNRWA had its funds diverted to armaments and tunnel builging I presume.

Yuyutsu, Fatimas fate seems to get repeated over and over again.
The relatives of the 9/11 victims can only shake their heads and say
"Will they never learn" ? They haven't in the last 1400 years so ?

ttbn, yes I am aware the Israel would suffer under my delete the ME
but perhaps they would see a way around it, by a nuclear strike demo
at the first sign of trouble. I think then Pakistan would think twice.

It needs someone to come up with a real crazy idea that will blow
everyone into silence.
I don't really have a clue as the Islamists would get really angry
if my isolate them plan got started ! Face it we cannot win !

Dear Bezza,

«Yuyutsu, Fatimas fate seems to get repeated over and over again.»

The Bedouins of Israel are Israeli citizens.
They made a blood-pact with Israel.
Israel is supposed to protect them like any other citizen.
Israel under Netanyahu failed.
He was caught asleep on guard, busy with petty politics instead.
Any decent leader would commit Harakiri in such circumstances.
But Netanyahu of course, is not.

«"Will they never learn" ? They haven't in the last 1400 years so ?»

Learn What?

That one must become an animal to survive?

Let me tell you: no animal survives forever either!

Our bodies will all surely die regardless one day, but if we lose our soul too, by becoming animals like our attackers, then we are in REAL trouble, then our enemies really won.

No - Just learn to stay on guard and ready, no matter what!
