A worthwhile perspective that rises above mere rhetoric and draws on lived experience from a credible source.
What I was referring to was the hijacking and bombing of planes by the PLO, resulting in the deaths of many innocents, that wasn’t a million years ago.
But not suggesting for a second ‘two wrongs’ can make a ‘right’, but that period was pretty horrific too.
When I worked in Saudi Arabia Vero, Israeli jets regularly did ‘bumps’ on the local runway, presumably as a ‘wind up’.
Goodness me it would be very interesting to see you all at a dinner table lol where religion and politics are not allowed
Very healthy discussions going on here!!
Very tragic subject at the mo’ though!

Afraid my diplomacy is akin to the yanks at times Peter; is there
no spell checker on SF? Not sure.
Tim’s post was impeccable. Were you replying to the right person?
Errmm… Allahu akbar, constable?
Well this discussion has certainly taken a strange direction.
We have to think ourselves very fortunate not to be surrounded by nation states that are hell bent on our total annihilation.
Absolutely, we are, so very, comparatively secure, Mark
In what way strange, Tim? Are you tongue in cheek? Increasingly I look to you for a particularly thoughtful and perceptive intervention, from a detached but never uninvolved place.
AH has no place in this discussion, comparing the deliberate mass slaughter of millions in WW2 with the situation in Gaza is lazy as it shows no understanding of the history of the dispute.
Forgive me, Tim, I don’t understand your reference to AH.
The last post from Brian Biggs showed Benjamin Netanyahu ‘photoshopped’ to look like Adolf Hitler.
Not funny T’, no you’re right, no place anywhere, in fact!
Thanks, Tim, I understand and I agree. It was inappropriate if well-intentioned in its execution.
Shall we get back to the original theme…
place your bets, ladies and gentlemen … … am I the only one who is hoping the whole affair will fizzle out…
