@CNN Hi,there's one more thing I'd like to say about your election results: now there is finally hope that the far-right parties in Europe will no longer be supported by an American administration that is equally right-leaning...
@CNN 3) This current war was provoked or even triggert by the massacre and hostage-taking carried out by Hamas. Gaza is now in ruins, with 2 million survivors living in tents. From Israel’s point of view, it’s self-defence. I can’t entirely deny that. Iran, Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah. It was actually all about sheer survival once again. Ok, Trump started the war against Iran, after they’d been heavily involved in the Gaza War on two occasions. Perhaps that was a bit too hasty. Maybe so. Those brothers weren’t exactly stupid, after all. They closed the strait and had the rest of the world by the balls. Weapons are obviously still well stashed away. They could close the second strait as well – the Suez Canal. And now here we are: the cost of living is skyrocketing everywhere because fuel is getting so expensive, and the armed forces aren’t really making any headway. A real dilemma – almost a bit like Vietnam… You need to decide carefully – ideally together – how things should proceed there. Personally, I’d use the term ‘regime change’ to help the Iranian people.. Alright, and no to the Russian war on Ukraine and for the return of the Black Hills to the indigenous people. The US should be fine with that...3)
@CNN Now, regarding our Jewish fellow citizens in Germany under the Nazis. Back then, they were simply ‘taken away’. ‘They’re being “taken away”’, that’s what people said. Or 30,000 were shot with machine guns in what is now Ukraine within two days. Or, before the gas chambers, there were gas vans where people were killed by exhaust fumes. Always entire families. Had the Allies not intervened, the Nazis would have managed to kill 11 million, not just 6. . And when the Jews were then awarded half of British Palestine by the UN in 1948, trouble with their Arab neighbours began immediately. Wars and terrorism. Always got the short end of the stick. The whole Holocaust is somehow historically underestimated. Sure, there were 60 million deaths in the Second World War, but most people realised that’s just what war is like. There was no reasonable justification for the ‘treatment’ of all the Jews. Except that religion held an even higher place in their lives than it did for Christians. And they weren’t particularly keen on war. Nuclear weapons and the emerging Cold War demanded more attention. At least from the Europeans’ point of view. The US, however, continued to provide support in the form of money and weapons. Without that, Israel would probably not have survived all those wars. And as for me, I don’t want to hear ‘America alone’,no more support for Israel. They belong to America today just as Germany belongs to the EU. Perhaps they would like to become the 51th state of the USA? I don't know. Make the right decisions about this war, preferably together. Peace, joy and pancakes aren’t quite here yet... 2)
@CNN Hi CNN, tomorrow is my Grannies birthday and so I send it today -please read it tomorrow.
!)Hello, dear America. A wonderful election result for social progress and greater justice (though, of course, a healthy overall economic situation is also essential). Here, then, is a brief prologue to what I would like to say to you about the Middle East, Israel and the war against Iran. People who don’t want to be disturbed in their sheltered religious world would be better off leaving this lecture theatre now. In 1943, during the Second World War, a resistance group opposing the Nazis – comprising students and older people – was rounded up and arrested. This was followed by interrogations during which, it seems, electric shocks and other ‘nice’ things were used. In the end, they met their deaths by the German guillotine. Now, it is in the nature of things that one cannot remain dead forever. Mother Nature has her own way of doing things. Twelve years later, a new life began. But it didn’t go as smoothly as it does for ordinary people. Problems at school and virtually no social advancement. Long life, short story. It was thanks to some good people – exiled Buddhists from Tibet – that I was finally enlightened about my fate. They’re experts in such matters, after all. Besides, there was also that ‘blue moving spark’ in the blue sky directly above my head. Anyone would know that couldn’t be of earthly origin. This photo of Sakharov’s monument in Russia shows exactly what I mean. Nobody looks up directly above their head in such a relatively unnatural way, unless you’re doing it. May be :The first of the Ten Commandments speaks of this one exclusive God. ‘You shall have no other gods before me.’ If those were Moses' words...Well, with all this stuff, with these spiritual tools, you can judge the world today and make good decisions. So much for this prologue as a foundation… 1)
@WajahatAli@MalloryMcMorrow Just so nobody gets upset: there’s still a great deal to be said about Israel and the Middle East. But first, please vote...
People shouldn’t go around thinking that there can be absolutely no contact with Muslims. Just as there are nearly 100% Christian idiots, there are also Islamic fanatics and terrorists. Religion is a private matter and is permitted in private life under the Constitution. And, my dear Christian high-flyers, religion should play no more than a secondary role in government.
If at all...
