The events taking place in the world today unfold like a sick soap opera, supposedly Earthlings are intelligent beings -- a doubtful assumption – a presumptuous opinion – perhaps, but, if we are intelligent, we are neither good nor wise.
Who is running this show? Are we captured under the spell of a major brainwashing hoax? We seem controlled by some obsessive biblical power, but it’s not godly goodness, it’s a horror show.
Take as example the present Middle East quagmire:
How much is the world willing to pay for the survival of Israel? Why is the world held responsible for its continued existence? How long is this situation going to last?
Sometimes I think enough is enough…
Why is it always -- What Israel wants…???? Who are the Israelis? Is their claim to the land of Palestine legitimate in 21st century terms? Are the immigrant-Jews that have flooded onto that speck of land, the rightful descendants of the “Chosen People?” How is the Jewish “right to the Promised Land” justified to those whose conviction are outside the biblical sphere of belief and influence?
Was the Iraq War and removal of Saddam Hussein demanded by Israel? Was it for Israel that USA forces occupied Iraq and Afghanistan? Is Islamic terrorism rooted into Israel’s presence in the Middle East? If Israel has to be, can it only be by ceaseless military grind?
It’s hard to accept that we cannot have a few years of peace because of Israel and related problems in the Middle East.
When are we going to wake up from these continuing Semitic nightmares? What is the meaning of the expression -- Anti Semitism? Are they not Semites, the ancient Hebrews, the Akkadians, the Phoenicians, and the modern Arabs? Are modern Jews, Semites?
What would Judaism be today if Christianity and Islam had not followed?
In whose name millennia of war, occupation, murder and destruction? For whose profit centuries of hatred and distrust? Why can’t Israel be for Judaism what the Vatican is for Christianity or Mecca for Islam?
But here, deviating from biblical ranting and raving, my questions still remain:
Why is "diplomacy" dilly-dallying with the willpower to curb the present Hezbollah – Israel Conflict? Who wants war? Who are the suppliers of such obscene and massive numbers of weapons?
Can we stop the producers and production of military equipment? Are weapon manufactures those responsible for starting wars to unload their colossal arsenals?
Does Israel really believe that continuing military rampages can neutralize Hezbollah or its inevitable successors? Are devastating attacks on Lebanon and the obstruction of humanitarian aid not brutal and criminal acts?
Does a real Peace Plan really exist? I don't think so, whoever runs this Show does not want peace...
I am sorry to say that I do not trust Israel any more than I would trust any other self-serving organization. Israel is alway too ready to put in action the might of its military powers... and I do not mean the number of soldiers or generals or experts it has, but the billion-dollar war-machinery it stockpiles...

Winston's Churchill's view
Left to themselves, the Arabs of Palestine would not in a thousand years, have taken effective steps towards irrigation and electrification of Palestine. They would have been quite content to dwell – a handful of philosophic people - in the wasted sun-scorched plains, letting the waters of the Jordan continue to flow unbridled and unharassed into the sea.

Mel Gibson's in Vino Veritas
For Mel Gibson, saying the Jews are responsible for the woes of the world was a gaffe even the excuse of alcoholic influence will not erase. To quote Omar Kayyam's Rubayat:
The moving finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line
Nor all thy tears wash out a world of it.
But isn’t the western world a free speech society? Are we back been burned at the stake for the heresy of saying what we think?

Weapons of Mass Madness
Before television and the internet we lived with some degree of innocent oblivion, but no longer can we escape from that on-stage-reality, humanity, the world, is, as always at the mercy of criminals and fools.
Seen at their best or worse in the morning or late night news, our nations’s leaders are no statesmen or philosopher-kings, that’s for sure…
Deceitful, self-serving, long-lived Australia’s John Howard justifies inflation and a squeezing interest-rate-rise, on a temporary shortage of bananas.
Mumbling Bush on Air-Force One, cannot rely on a self-respecting-sentence; the expertise of crafty speech writers must be his lunch or breakfast… No comment for frigid Dr. Rice, or a Bush-supporting Blair .
Squashy-spoken Kofi Annan, coyly says one thing and then agrees to do the other, he is so evident a puppet, the manipulating puppeteers are palpable through his weak veneer.
Those are only a few of the fools.
World-power-hungry megalomaniacs are the criminals; they maneuver, control and exploit world events, cashing in on massive profits through manufacturing, supplying and distributing warfare apparatus. We, taxpayers pay for wars they make…
To expect, in-conflict nations, to stop bellicose hostilities while simultaneously supplying weapons, is like asking smokers to stop smoking while providing them with cigarette packets, notwithstanding the warning label that “cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health”.
The real terrorists are the superpowers, those comfortably hiding in gilded towers, colossal fortresses of corporations and financial institution, while state-of –the-art- bombs and missiles rain on innocents and fragile environments. Is this what we pay taxes for?
We taxpayers, world citizens, urgently need to recognize our leaders’ greed and lack of wisdom, must demand, dismantle, and ban all iniquitous military-industrial composites. For the producer, the manufacturers, the architects of weapons, are the evil, not the weapons, nor the many who are bullied into using them.
We can and must find peaceful ways to boost our economies, to keep share markets afloat without the debouchery of war. But to stop wars, we first must cease to manufacture weapons, as to stop cigarette smoking is to stop the production of tobacco.
We must bury hatchets, cleanse ourselves of spilled oil and blood, cleanse the sea shores of tomorrow; without nefarious weapons we WILL find diplomatic ways, disputes can be squabbles, NOT wars.
