Dear Colleagues,

I was watching tv last night on BBC2 news where there was an interview
conducted with a spokesman for the government of Israel, regarding the
conflict between them and Hamas. The reporter asked the usual questions
about alleged atrocities committed, the killing of many Arab children
and civilians through massive bombings and shootings, whether such mass
bombing by the Israel government on mosques, schools and hospitals was
disproportionate and so on. The reporter got nowhere, every question
was fended off, by either another question or by referring to failings
in UK or US military actions in the past...or appeals to the common
interests and common language of democracy, liberty and equality and so
on...without referral to collateral damage of course...that is an
American term for surgical operations which overstep the mark.
Apparently, it is getting rid of Hamas that is the problem. If only
Hamas would disappear and the people of Gaza could see sense, instead of
supporting terrorism and teaching their children to hate Jews and the
Israelis and their way of life, using practical examples of what is
happening to them every day; then everything would be hunky dory and
Arabs and Israelis would be able to live in peace together for ever and
ever, just as they do in Israel, with a grateful Israel as the rich,
benevolent employer and occupier, being willing to supply all those
necessaries and luxuries of life, such as peace, food, water and beach
surfing and sun bathing in perfect peace and harmony. What a lovely,
optimistic outlook to have on life...the power of positive
thinking...Seneca gone mad...
I have noticed this strategy any number of times and of course all
government spokesman of any country use these tactics to fend off, delay
accountability or divert the question away from that which is at hand.
The thing was, that I have seen this strategy used so many times by the
Israelis, they really are quite skilled and clever at it. So much so,
I wondered how it was developed and where it came from. The answer lies
in the above url. The Global Language Dictionary published by the
Israel Project is a document which is confidential and not supposed to
be published for public consumption...though you can find it on
cryptome. I can't think why...Maybe the Palestinians and the people of
the Gaza strip and West Bank should read it and learn from it and then
the two countries and nations and cultures would be able to get on
better together. I wonder if it is published in Arabic...
It is a pity about the lack of resources from which Israel suffers of
course, and the vast amounts of oil which lies out to sea within easy
reach if it weren't for the Gaza strip lying in between, with all sorts
of claims being made on who owns it and who has the right to exploit
it. Pity too about the huge wall that is being built around the
Palestinians, enclosing Israel itself in a huge camp, with the
ostensible reason to protect it from incursions by the Arab terrorists
and the rockets which are being fired into their territory. Pity too,
about the water which Israel needs to supply its people and industries
in a very hot country, and the fact that the rivers run through lots of
Arab states and not through Israel. Pity too, that the Israelis have had
to give back some of the land they have illegally annexed for the
creation of living settlements with the aim of creating a greater Israel.
The alleged recent statement too, by the Deputy Speaker of the
Knesset, if true, certainly shows that the wrong kind of lessons have
been learned from the Second World War, in my view. see url:

Removal and mass extermination of a population is genocide and a
holocaust, no matter who advocates or practices it...and is not to be
denied! Over 60 million people died in the prosecution of the 2nd World
War, including over 3 million Jews and 27 million Russians, to name but
a few. A couple of atomic bombs got thrown at Japan too. Most of whom
were innocent civilians, who just happened to be in the way. It is
strange too, how the US and the UK governments remain muted or keep
their criticisms at a low level, without any action to stop it from
happening. A little squawk, here and there. The arms still get
provided, the logistics and the money still flows to Israel and to Egypt
of course...on a huge scale, whilst the people of Palestine have their
lifelines, the tunnels and their elected leadeship blown up, all in the
name of saving the world from terrorism. Concepts and definitions of
democracy appear twisted and turned on their heads these days...isn't
that just the way....
I have no answer to the Arab Israeli conflict...of course, and I have no
desire to blame As Spike Milligan once said, "I think that war is
barmy"...though, it is interesting to note that the Scots and English
and other nation states in our disunited kingdom managed to overcome
their national and border disputes a couple of centuries ago, and though
they may not live in perfect harmony, at least they manage to resolve
their conflicts peaceably, without killing or torturing one another
apart from the through the savage thrust of debate and demonstration. I
suppose that is one of the ways of defining democracy and democratic
practices...although it leaves plenty of scope for other ways of
allowing for the expression of dissent or other points of view. The
Americans too, had their Civil War, the question is, their
representatives had to sit down and resolve their differences
afterwards, and in such a way that it didn't lead to more armed
conflict. Did it achieve anything which couldn't be achieved through
jaw jaw, rather than waw waw?
It's a funny ole world right enough.
As Karl Marx said in relation to the Parish Commune of 1889. "History
goes in circles, the first time it happens it is a drama, the next time
a farce".
