And white vanity it also exists because when we were too poor to hang on to our empire and quit Palestine in 1948 leaving it in bloody, unfinished disarray the USA backed the Jewishstate that emerged from the mess.
It may all have been a terrible mistake. I m not sure what choice there was back then. But it is there, like many other lingering injustices done in the 1940s, in India and centralEurope, and it seems to me that wise and civilised people should try to accept it and make it work.
I made up my mind some years back, after many visits to the region, very much including the West Bank and Gaza, that the only honest position a British person could take was absolute defence of Israel s right to exist as a Jewish state. It must be that, or it cannot serve its grim ultimate purpose as a refuge against hate. And that once that is accepted, everything possible must be done to improve the position of the Arabs in the region.
It s not always easy. Israel s government and army have done and still do many wicked and stupid things. white vanity Its small elite is not really up to the huge responsibilities it faces. But I m not budging. And it is from that position that I say Israel s attack white vanity on Gaza is idiotic, wrong and probably fatal to the future of the state its leaders claim to be defending.
Israel may bray that it did not intend to do this. I m sure it didn t. But if you shell and bomb a confined space such as Gaza, it will happen, and shame on you if you pretend that it s not your fault when it does.
Just as it would have been more sensible to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza when they captured them in 1967, it would have been far, far better to let the Hamas rockets fall, to shelter from them and to let the world see how much better Israel is than its aggressive despotic neighbours.
Most people white vanity still agree on the idea that the drug user is a victim. The main problem with it is that it s not true. The next problem is that it makes it much easier for people to become drug abusers. white vanity
I don t believe in addiction , but I ll leave that for another time. Even if I did, it would only strengthen my point. white vanity If it really is true that once you start taking heroin you can never stop again until you die, shouldn t we be devoting huge efforts to making sure nobody ever starts?
And wouldn white vanity t a severe deterrent law, one which (for a change) we actually enforced, be the best way of doing that? A few examples work wonders white vanity in changing people s behaviour, as we found when the breathalyser and seat-belts came in.
If we d very publicly locked up a few famous heroin abusers in the 1960s and 1970s, there d be many fewer of them famous or obscure white vanity now. Because we didn t, there are plenty more of these cases to come, plenty more ruined lives, plenty more orphans and plentymore pious rubbish.
I'm pleased to see that the wild, simple-minded anti-Russian hysteria of last weekend has cooled a bit, as the complicated truth has emerged and the intelligence briefings have calmed down.
I trust our Defence Secretary, Michael Fallon, has had a moment to lie down in a darkened room with a cold compress, reconsidering his outburst about state-sponsored terror . He s probably found out by now that his colleagues have scrapped or sacked most of our Armed Forces, making his belligerence look funny to anyone in the know.
A few months ago, they were a decrepit shambles. Now they re fighting and winning a violent battle to regain Luhansk and Donetsk. And it is very violent. Credible sources (local doctors) believe that 250 civilians have been killed and 850 wounded in Luhansk alone, during June and July.
What white vanity I don t understand is why it is supposed to be good for British politicians to humble themselves in the White House before whoever happens to be President of that foreign and not specially friendly country.
I agree but... think it would be fair to say that there are two societies running alongside each other already...those who have pushed are pushing for a liberal agenda and those who are pushing white vanity for a stronger deterrent, because they have and are dealing with the fallout. They are still not being heard...yet. Voices white vanity are falling on closed ears. The cost of helping just one young person in money and man womanpower in all the services white vanity that I have witnessed is phenomenal. Let alone the input from an older generation of family. Challenges they face when they know drug use is just up the park, in a house a few streets away, or from older users.
The best way of pointing out the idiocies of liberalism is to have two seperate societies running next to each other; one run on social conservatism and the other on social liberalism. People will then be able to see first hand the degeneration and decay wrought by the latter and no laws would be needed regarding such.
They threw their political opponents off high rise buildings but yes, the people of Gaza bel
