Recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, destroys the "Two State" solution.


Trump confirms US will recognise Jerusalem as capital of Israel.

A stupid, provocative and bigoted announcement from an opinionated megalomaniac and dangerous man who demonstrates a complete ignorance of the complexities of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. His decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel attempts to appease an estimated 8.7 million people in one small country, but at the same time alienates billions of others around the world. His press conference yesterday at 1pm American Time, has destroyed any prospect of a "Two State" solution or any other kind of settlement and has ensured that fighting and resistance to Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and East Jerusalem will continue and intensify as resentment to on going occupation and the expansion of illegal settlements accelerates in the coming months and years.

In one brief statement and signing of the Presidential Order, Trump has thrown his weight behind one side of the dispute and forever destroyed any claim for the United States to be an "honest broker", for Middle East Peace. Within minutes of Trump announcing this madcap intention, countries of the world were uniting in condemnation of the harebrained perilous promise. China, Russia, United Kingdom, France, Jordan, Syria, Vatican and others including the Palestinian authorities. Trump has confirmed his intention to drive this world into armed conflict with his constant flow of provocative policies and announcements. His intentions for North Korea, Syria, Iran and numerous other theatres testify that Trump is a threatening bully who's ignorance and self importance is a danger to the whole world.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
