...i second that, good find Lordo.
Britain's failure at divesting themselves of their colonial interests is to blame in both cases. What is a lawless state without Justice as a result has festered ever since, in affect depriving all these people (and all of us) of Peace. Only force enables the(se) situation(s) to exist. And such acts institutionalised do not constitute an engagement in self-defense because it violates the Human Rights of "others". This Ignorance has continued beyond, as it can clearly be seen in the Ukraine with its political manipulations, the 'us' whom "They'' serve divided and demonised; "Their" fears (realised) more drama than fact. "Americans" are not blameless in that regard i'll add but so are 'we' (those of us not "Them"), depending so much on Americans (Americans not "Them"), for the Freedom which it seems has been taken for granted by all of us now far too long.
...his case is presented clearly, and in terms that are very simple to understand; i'll look forward to the judge's reply.
With one difference RW, in Israel the minority control of the majority was legalised by the UN in 1948 and it has been going on ever since.
On the other hand going back to 1960 in Cyprus, I do not see the minority asking for more than they deserved. They were asking for enough to survive. This happens in UK currently. England gives more than a fair share to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. With control comes responsibility to look after everybody in a country and shop keeper mentality of how much you put in in the pot does not decide how much you take out, you take what is needed to survive. And yes, it is the wealthier's responsibility to look after those who are not so well off through no fault of their own. We are not all born with a silver spoon in our mouths.
I hear that arrest warrants of Nutenyahu and his top generals are being prepared. When the government eventually changes just like in Serbia, they will handed over to the court if they survive that long. In the meantime, it is the court's duty to put an end to this and order action so people can take action legally even if it means attacking America soldiers in the Middle East. Similar arrest warrants must also be prepared for the enablers like Fishy, Biden and Scholz.
