Genocide of the Palestinian People.

Ukraine

 The SNP Are at It Again.

So, the end of another week and an extremely busy one at that. This is the way it has been for quite some time and doesn’t look like becoming any quieter in the foreseeable future. Throughout my career in business, I feel I have always been able to plan in such a way that generally gives a satisfactory outcome. Unfortunately, I have failed miserably in facilitating my retirement.

I have been so busy that I have been neglecting my regular take on what is happening in the world through my blog, The World This Week from Mennies, so here is my take on several topical issues.

The Genocide of the Palestinian People

Yes, genocide is a very strong word but that is exactly what it is, and this has been part of a very intricately laid plan involving the Israeli government, the US and quite possibly some European countries .

So, what is behind it all? Well two main things. Firstly, Israel wishes to exterminate the Palestinian people in order to re-instate a fairy tale of their ancient homeland, in the land of Canaan.  This belief derives from a vague interpretation in the Old Testament of the bible. Now to be clear, the bible we are speaking about, tells us that the earth is only 6000 years old. Which makes that ludicrous assertion wrong by about four and a half billion years and this is supposed to be the word of God.

This belief regarding a Jewish homeland is heavily attached to the main fairy tail of the Exodus, which is a tall story about the “chosen people”, the Israelites, firstly being chosen by god to be slaves in Egypt, then God chose to send 10 plagues to convince the ruler of Egypt to allow the Israelites to move towards the promised land. For such an omnipotent entity I would have thought that God could just have changed the Pharo’s mind.

Ok, so he didn’t and instead instituted this series of catastrophic events causing the deaths of possibly millions of innocent people, including the granddaddy of them all “The Passover” where he decided to kill the firstborn of every Egyptian. Yes, I am serious and that doesn’t mean just children it means the firstborn in every family and remember this is the God of love we are speaking about.

To make matters worse, the “Angels” he was to send in this program of mass murder didn’t know who the “chosen” people were ( how he managed to “choose” them in the first place I cannot imagine) so the Israelites had to paint their doorposts with goats’ blood so that the intellectually challenged Angels could pass over the houses of the Israelites and kill only the Egyptians.

OK, so are you with me, because it is getting worse. So, this convinced the ruler of Egypt to allow the Israelites to go from Egypt. Which they did and according to the bible, in the region of a million people headed towards the promised land, however, the ruler of Egypt changed his mind and sent an army after them at which point Moses stretched out his hand and the Red Sea opened allowing a million people to cross over whereby he again raised his hand and the sea engulfed the army. I told you it got worse and now the piece de resistance.

God, this omnipotent entity, and creator of the earth, gets them bloody lost and I don’t mean just wandered off their compass bearing for an hour or two, I mean lost in the bloody desert for 40 years and to get this into perspective, the journey to the promised land should have taken 11 days.

Ok so now this million people have been wandering around the desert for 40 years and God finally tells them that they have arrived at the promised land which is the land of Cannen. Great but the only slight problem is that God wants them to slaughter all the Canaanites before they can claim the promised land and guess what that is called. It is called Genocide, and that is what these descendants of the Israelites are doing again in the same land because at that time which was 1350 BC ( over 3000 years ago) the Canaanites were Palestinians.

Ok, so before you all start jumping up and down and telling me that this is absolute nonsense then let me tell you that you are correct, as none of this has ever been proven to have happened and for a million people to have wandered the desert for 40 years there is not a single archaeological sign. There is only the word of God through the Bible., But here is the thing, there are people who actually choose to believe this nonsense, these are the Zionist leaders of Israel, and they are at this moment enacting these very deeds I have just outlined and have been doing since Britain enacted the Balfour Declaration in 1948.

Since then, various governments of Israel have been operating a slow genocide of the Palestinian people in the area that was once Canaan.

The second thing that is part of the equation is that because of US stupidity by way of Donald Trump and because the US reneged on agreements with Iran to limit any move towards them achieving weapon-grade plutonium, there have been no inspections of nuclear facilities in Iran and I am pretty sure that with an unstable neighbor like Israel, they have been working away to achieve the goal of a nuclear weapon and this is why the illogical presence of the US carrier fleet in the Mediterranean sea.

The hope will be that Iran will be drawn into the conflict in Gaza and a war with Iran will be commenced.  

Make no mistake, the attack by Hamas over the most impenetrable border on the planet was all planned and it wasn’t all in Gaza, most of it was in Tel Aviv. This is a false flag incident on the level of Gulf of Tonkin incident at the start of the Vietnam War.

Meanwhile the slaughter goes on and the west stays silent on the daily war crimes committed by Israel. The Palestinians did not invade the country of Israel as defined in the League of Nations Balfour declaration, they went into territory occupied by the Zionists of Israel.

I have blethered on more than I intended with this, so will cut short the other two items.

Ukraine

Well, the “Spring offensive” has finally come to a halt and the slaughter of young lives on the Ukrainian side goes on. Putin is doing what he said he would do and hopefully, the de-Nazification is going along apace.

Meanwhile, Zelensky ( who is a Jew) is selling arms supplied to him by the West to Hamas, to fight the, err Jews!

The SNP

Believe it or not, SNP policy to attain independence is to get the majority of seats (not the majority of people ) and all will be well with the UK government who will immediately agree to a section 30 derogation of the Scotland Act and will commence negotiations on independence. They have not noticed that they have had a majority of seats for many years and have done nothing about it.

The problem the SNP have is that if by chance there was another independence-related party in power, they would no doubt initiate an enquiry into the possible criminality which has gone on during the tenure of Nicola Sturgeon, therefore they must make such a mess of things and refuse to cooperate with any other party to allow a unionist party into power in Scotland. That is the only way they can be sure that no enquiry is ever initiated.

OK, that’s it for today folks and I am looking forward to my next travel adventure which takes in  Thailand, Vietnam, Bruni, And the Philippines and this is next Month.

So, I wish my friends the world over a great weekend. Time for a pint.

Slainte.

Remember
Sit in the same place for long enough and the whole world will pass you by, you will however, probably be arrested for vagrancy.

Well, day 6 on my European river trip along the Rhine. The last two stops were in Rhudishime and Mainz. Now in Strasbourg.

Rhudishime was quite a lively place with a very traditional German township and quite a tourist stop.

I managed to get out in the town for a few pints after dinner as the entertainment on the ship consisted of a string quartet, so after a couple of tunes I headed ashore and found a couple of bars with good live entertainment.

Strasbourg today and a very quiet place it is, but I suppose it is Sunday.

Note to self:- next time you ask the activities rep if the city centre is within walking distance and he advises taking a taxi, believe him.

He pointed out the cathedral spire protruding from the city skyline and suggested taking a taxi there.

Me of course knowing better and using my infallible sense of direction and distance assessment, reckoned that it was a walk of about 2 miles and set off.

This is me sitting in a coffee shop one and a half hours later with sore feet having walked about 4 +miles.

There is a distinct shortage of coffee shops in Strasbourg on a Sunday. However, this one is excellent and the coffee is good.

Now the French people are lovely but my experiences with them through numerous tours I have driven with them and various visits to France is that they are fully paid-up members of the awkward squad and although most of them speak very good English they do not readily cooperate with anyone who does not at least try to speak French. Some of you might remember my story concerning a trip to Monti Carlo where again, I tried to subvert local advice, decided not to take the advised taxi and walk to my hotel which I duly found after receiving directions from numerous people which took me all over Monty Carlo and that was only the people who admitted to understanding English.

Anyway, my fluent French stood by me today as I masterfully ordered my cappuccino in about the only sentence I know in French.

I remember in my touring days, I had a French group of veterinary surgeons doing a tour of Abattoirs in the Aberdeen area.

On the way back to the hotel which was on the outskirts of Aberdeen one day, the organiser asked if I could take them into Aberdeen for a short shopping stop. Now I was only booked until 5 PM each day but I agreed to take them. I stopped just off Union Street and explained that I couldn’t wait there because of parking restrictions but I would be back at exactly 5.30 and could they be on time as I could get a parking ticket if I had to wait.

Well, French people being French people, some of them did not turn up for another half an hour. Fortunately, a parking attendant did not happen by.

The following day the same thing happened as the organiser asked again if I could take them to Aberdeen. This time when I stopped to let them off I explained that perhaps an hour was not sufficient for their shopping needs and there was a good taxi service nearby so, I would be there at 5.30 and would assume that if anyone was not there, they would have decided to take a taxi so would leave for the hotel.

Every single one of them was waiting at the pick-up point when I arrived there

So, I will finish my coffee and head back to the ship

Have a nice Sunday folks
