Why isn’t there peace in and around Israel?

Friday, April 20th, 2012

Pat Condell has the answers in the following video.

And as usual the answers are glaringly obvious – so simple and straightforward that only career politicians and journalists could miss them.

Some key quotes from the video:

“The Arabs don’t hate Jews because of Israel. They hate Israel because of Jews.”

“The world needs to stop pretending that ‘Palestine’ is about justice and human rights.”

“The (Arabs’) hatred is the cause of their misery – they’ve become prisoners of their hatred.”

Whither Egypt?

Monday, April 16th, 2012

The one firm truth about the Middle East is that the truth changes with alarming speed and regularity.

It all usually depends on which despot, regime, fanatic or extremist is in the ascendancy at any given moment, and which racist, mass-murderer, dictator or relgious theocracy has been deoposed or alternatively murdered its way to the top most recently.

Read here an up-to-date article by former Israeli ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel on the current situation in Israel’s southern neighbour Egypt. The focus is on the Muslim Brotherhood and other unsavoury extremist movements even further off the chart. The Middle East Forum (MEF) also has an excellent analysis of the Muslim Bortherhood. Visit Debka File for more in-depth analysis of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Click here for an short video on what Middle East expert Daniel Pipes has to say about the Muslim Brotherhood, and read here his more in-depth analysis on the same subject in light of what has been termed the “Arab Spring” but which seems to be more of an “Arab Spring, Muslim Winter“.

UN inaction costs lives by the thousands

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

But that doesn’t really matter – UN publicly funded salaries are still paid out regularly so what are a few thousand civilian lives in Syria in the wider financial context, after all?

With something like 10,000 deaths in Syria – systematic regime massacres of civilians would be a more accurate description – already documented, the UN continues to do what it does best: ignoring bestiality on the part of Arab and/or Muslim regimes, while focusing with admirable tenacity on any Jew who wants to remodel his kitchen in Jerusalem. 

The UN has far outlived its usefulness. It has long served merely as a forum for distributing public funding both to despotic regimes and easily bought bureaucrats. The latter get their fat – tax-funded – salaries every single month irrespective of the mayhem, destruction and death they leave in their wake.

The UN needs to be closed down.

Then opened under a new umbrella, with membership open only to democratic states. Anything else is just deliberate – and hugely expensive – mockery of civilisation’s most basic principles.

Pat Condell puts it very neatly indeed in the video below. Among much else, he says with absolute clarity “I wouldn’t trust the UN to run a lemonade stand without thousands of people being needlessly killed“.
