Terrorist Blockade Runners OR Peace Convoy?

Israel has clashed violently in International Waters, with a Turkish led convoy of "Peace Campaigners" who were taking aid into Gaza, thus breaking the Israeli blockade of the area.

Peace Convoy?

 There are a number of dead, and claim and counter claim over the events.

The Price Of Love

Just 18 days into the 'New Politics' of a Coalition Government in the UK, a good old fashioned, sex and money scandal, right out of the 'Old Politics' has taken its first victim.

The Liberal Democrat Secretary to the Treasury, David Laws was caught with yet another of these tedious 'expenses scandals' that wore out the last of the life in the last parliament. However added into this was a homosexual affair, which somewhat oddly, considering the Liberal Democrats views on Homosexuality, Mr Laws was trying to keep totally 'private'.

Blondes Have More Fun!

Blondes Have More Fun

In a totally non PC event, that would no doubt be banned in Britain by the 'Wimmin of the Left', the women of Latvia (well the blonde ones anyway) have held their second annual 'Blonde Parade'.

Marching Blondes

 

The original aim of this parade was to raise a smile in recession weary Latvia and boost morale in the male and general population.

What was originally a 'one off' last year, returned by popular demand, and was bigger and better, with more blondes (in pink) than you could shake a pointy stick (or anything else) at. The rest of the country held street parties and Marilyn Monroe lookalike competitions in an orgy of fun nationwide.

Next year, the girls, led by Marika Gederte, President of the Latvian Association of Blondes (what a title!), want to hold a blonde carnival - just like the Rio carnival, just a lot 'blonder'.

Blondes Parading

Israel And The Bomb

Mordechai Vanunu, the technician who revealed to the world that Israel had a nuclear program and weapons made at Dimona, has begun another spell in prison (a three-month jail term) for violating the terms of his release in 2004 by allegedly meeting 'foreigners' ..... his girlfriend is Norwegian!

He had been drugged and kidnapped off the streets of Rome in 1986 by Mossad, and taken back to Israel (much like North Koreas kidnap activities abroad), for a 'secret trial' .... not the first or last time that Israel has abused its 'friends' hospitality to commit state sanctioned crimes in the West.

Mr Vanunu is still banned from from speaking to the foreign media and travelling abroad.

In other words he is in the same position as Aung San Suu Kyi the leader of the Burmese opposition who is under arrest, banned from speaking to the foreign media and travelling abroad.

All this after serving 18 yrs in an Israeli prison (mostly in solitary confinement) for telling the world that Israel had a secret nuclear program and had made bombs ........ Iran anyone?

Why is this important? Well because we and the rest of the Western world, generally support Israel, partly because it has not only the only democracy in the region, but that it respects the general principles of treatment for its citizens (including the Israeli Arabs, in the main), that we do.

However their treatment of Vannu has been an international disgrace, with punishment after punishment heaped on this man. His treatment has been so harsh, that it reminds one of the 'politicals' in the USSR, and considering the fact that they were often Jews, you would think that Israel would never have repeated that experiment.

The fact that its also been alleged this week (and denied by Israel), that in a move reminiscent of the Pakistan scientists selling nuclear technology to Iran, Israel was offering to sell nuclear technology (aka Nuclear Bombs) to Apartheid South Africa in the 1970's, shows that full scrutiny of Israel's nuclear capabilities is a necessity .

Hamas Hypocrites

With the usual hypocrisy that only Arabs can muster, the Hamas ruling party in Gaza knocked down dozens of Arab homes that they claimed were built illegally on 'Government lands'. Of course there is not a murmur from any of the surrounding states nor the Arab press ..... however when its Israel knocking down houses for the same reasons, well that's another story!

Hamas Bull Dozers

I and a lot of others might have some sympathy with the Arabs if they weren't so obviously anti anyone non Muslim, while so disregarding of Muslim failures.

If an Israel bomb kills a Muslim (terrorist or not) they are irresponsible murderers and the victims 'martyrs', while Hamas rockets into Israel are applauded and the victims 'legitimate war targets'.

If a Mosque is hit by a US/Israeli/UK bullet, then its an attack against Allah and worthy of violent suicide attacks, but when the same mosque is blown shitless by another brand of Islam (they are all violent to some degree or other), then hardly a murmur.

When a Non Muslim enters a mosque they must show total deference or else its like the world has ended and the infidel must die - but Christian churches can be defamed by any Muslim Arab gunmen and there is not a murmur by any Muslim.

It's this sheer bigotry, hypocrisy and intolerance that makes me oppose everything about their cult.
