these teeth are much older than my teeth...but my teeth do not look as good...damn!
Socrates suggested that the terms be defined before a discussion
ISRAEL=the northern kingdom of the Hebrews (c930-721 BCE) from the Hebrew "YISRAEL"= he that strives with god (Gen. 32:28) Established as the Jewish homeland in 1948 CE on land that was part of the British Mandated territory of Palestine PALESTINE= territory in the middle east on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean sea...the name Palestine was used as the official political title for land west of the Jordan river mandated to Britain in 1920...In 1948 the state of Israel was established in what was traditionally Palestine GAZA STRIP= territory in Palestine on the South east Mediterranean coast became a self governing enclave in 1994 with an elected legislature in 1996...like the mobius strip and endless trek to nowhere ZIONISM= movement to establish a Jewish nation in what is now Israel- founded by Theodor Herzl in 1887
so some things to consider....last week there was talk of Israeli citizens not needing a visa to enter the USA...was this consideration also extended to the Palestinians?....it was also a mentioned on the news that there was a very powerful organized crime presence in the area...soooo....i suppose that the organized crime folks are both Israeli and Palestinians...when a population is under a tyrannical government they invariably resort to "organized crime" to get what they need to live...that's the way it was in Sicily, Russia and Ireland, etc. etc. etc...
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war is worse..."John Stuart Mill
when Willian Tecumseh Sherman lived in Louisiana he said that blacks were not equal to whites and could never rule themselves even though he had been to new orleans and seen free men of color living as successful businessmen...the notion that anyone would call another human less than human is absurd..."we are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly..." sounds like Nazism returned...
"Should a nation which attacks and occupies a foreign territory in the face of United Nations disapproval be allowed to impose conditions on its own withdrawal?" Dwight D. Eisenhower (said in 1957 when Israel invaded Egypt)
saw a DVD called "Masked and Anonymous" which has a lot of famous movie stars and a famous singer songwriter named Bob Dylan...the story rambled on and on...but there was one standout performance when a Miss Tinashe Kachingwe sang "The times they are a changin'" her voice sounded angelic compared to mr dylans croaking...
What man calls civilization/ always results in desert/ man is never on the square/ he uses up the fat and greenery of the earth/ each generation wastes a little more/ of the future with greed and lust for riches.... Don Marquis " WHAT THE ANTS ARE SAYING" (1950)
