The current 'war' in Gaza is really a feud. Wars generally have a chance of eventually ending and are normally fought over resources or land. Wars are normally about greed not hate. The conclusion is never to everyone's satisfaction, but, after politicians and the military have masterminded and facilitated the slaughter of innocents, for their own personal gain, the war ends.
Whereas a feud goes on and on and on. Both parties involved act irrationally, are never prepared to give any ground, normally hate each other and would gladly see the extermination and eradication of their feuding enemies.
That is where we stand with Palestine. The two protagonists hate each other and would gladly see their enemy wiped from the face of the earth. When Israeli's say, and I paraphrase ' they should level the lot of them, like the Russians did in Chechnya' and Gazan's celebrate the bombing of a mini bus in Tel Aviv, you realise that neither side wants a solution that involves any type of co-existence.
In fact the bombardment of Gaza and the slaughter of innocent women and children serves politicians on both sides equally well. The Israeli government can say to it's citizens ' look we are killing Palestinians, be happy, vote for us' and Hamas can say 'look I told you they are evil, they are killing Palestinians, vote for us.
The two state solution will never happen all the time Israel knows it has the backing of the USA. Israels fear, is that one day, that backing could be withdrawn. The re-election of Barack Obama was, in many Israeli eyes, a disaster, as Obama is perceived by many as having sympathies with oppressed people due to his Kenyan forebears experiences with the British Empire. Netanyahu, The Israeli Prime Minister, openly backed Romney for the presidency. If American backing was withdrawn, Israel would have no option but to seek a two state solution and their bargaining powers would be severely hampered, as well as knowing that many middle eastern powers will continue to seek the destruction of the Israeli state.
Although it is beneficial electorally for the Israeli government to keep killing Palestinians, and to continue to maintain the Gaza Strip as little more than an open air penitentiary, each Palestinian death is the equivalent of a brick crumbling in the foundations of the State of Israel, as more and more people, across the world, lose sympathy with the Israeli's and their treatment of innocent Palestinian men, women and children.
Hello Sweden!
Evil Tory Plan is Working.
A recent report lead by The University of Kent's social policy team has shown that thousands of people are failing to claim the benefit's they are entitled to, due to the stigmatisation and demonisation, perpetrated by the Tories and, that bastion of honesty and truth, the right wing press. So people are going without basic food and heating.
I can hear the roars of joy from the head bangers, as they realise that their policy of demonisation of the
jews,whoops sorry, benefit claimants,(there are so many similarities between the workings of the Tory governments propaganda and that of the third Reich, at times it's difficult to tell the difference), is at last bearing fruits. I expect they will all have a taxpayer subsidised drink in the commons, to celebrate, and then take what ever taxpayer subsidised method of transport home to their taxpayer subsidised houses in the shires or perhaps their second taxpayer subsidised home in London, where they will have dinner, enjoying the fact that every mouthful is paid for by the taxpayer. After that they will probably watch a bit of telly( cost claimed on expenses plus cost of TV license), while sitting on a comfy sofa ( cost claimed on expenses) in a warm cosy environment ( fuel bill payed by the taxpayer) before retiring to their taxpayer funded bed. Meanwhile thousands of people across the land, children included, die of hypothermia while battling hunger and malnutrition because the politicians and their policies have failed. They are lucky they are not paid on results.

A Bit Hypocritical Mr President.
Whilst referring to the current Gaza/Israel crisis. Barack Obama said, in defence of Israeli bombing, that a sovereign state should not have to tolerate having missiles fired into their country. The question is Mr President. What's the deal with all those drone missile attacks America is currently carrying out in Pakistan then? Or is Pakistan now the 51st state of the US of A.

Votes for Prisoners.
I know Cameron is just trying to act tough, which by the way doughnut face, just make you look stupid, alright, ( I have it on good advice that several members of the government read this blog) when he says that prisoners getting the vote makes him feel physically sick. But it's not all prisoners that would get the vote anyway. Doughnut face should read his EU memo's more thoroughly. Surely as a process of rehabilitation any prisoner that is due to be released within a four year period after a general election, should have the right to vote for the party they would prefer to be governing the country on their release.
Hello Germany! Hello Argentina!
Police Commissioners.
Many people are wondering what effect the newly elected Police Commissioners will have on policing policy in their area.This is how it will work.
If a Commissioner affiliated to the Conservative party is elected then patrols past the Golf and Country Club will be increased and council estates will not see a copper for the next four years.
If a commissioner affiliated to the Liberal Democrat party is elected then he/she will say that patrols past the organic bread shop and the sandal shop will be increased, but will actually do what the conservatives tell them to do.
If a commissioner affiliated to the Labour party is elected then foot patrols, when it's cold and/or pissing down, will be increased just to get the bastards back for the miners strike.
Hello China! Hello Canada!
Balanced Press Coverage. b**l**c*ks!!
Ask yourself this question. How many articles over the last ten years have been printed in our national newspapers about tax avoidance committed by businesses, multinational corporations and the wealthy and how many have been printed about people on welfare, probably about 1000:1 in favour of the grasping rich I would think.
We're all in it together? b**ls**t!!!!!!
Goodbye!
