Comments on: Time for a military coup in Israel?

Yes I’m afraid this military coup notion is fanciful in the extreme, unfortunately. Zionism is a narrative run amuck and all-too well embedded in the national consciousness. Now it is on the verge of yielding its nihilistic fruits. It’s hard to see a scenario where cooler heads might prevail.

They won’t return the Sinai. Everyone knows that. The Sinai was stolen by Israel in the first place. No reason to return it to the thief.

maryam: “I’m personally convinced that the treaty between Israel and Egypt will be scrapped after the elections.”

In that case of course, the Sinai will have to be returned to Israel. Why would Egypt want to do that?

The Palestinian prisoners are engaged in a massive hunger strike against the zionist use of administrative detention. This hunger strike is being largely ignored by the western press as it touts the struggles of a single Chinese dissident. How politically motivated is it, that the zionist-controlled press so obviously ignores the largest mass hunger strike in history (more than 1,550 prisoners are participating)and focuses on a single individual who happens to be a citizen in a country that is the US’ chief rival for world economic domination?

We have also seen Netanyahu’s latest sleight of hand – he has built his coalition now, to the point where it will enable him to construct the Fascist state he has obviously always dreamed of.

Dear Maryam,

I hope you are right regarding the treaty between Egypt and ersatz israel. Step by step, one step at a time, the wheels turn.

Whenever I think of Palestine, I think of one little girl in particular; whom I saw in a video. She is very much the human face of this tragedy for me.

While the whole world talks politics; then returns to the comforts of their home; humanity suffers endlessly in Palestine.

It is time to begin criminal proceedings against the zionists; not to worry that they don’t understand what they have done.

James, you have to know that although there are some people who follow the Biblical narrative as it concerns Palestine, most do not, myself included (and I also know Alan does not). The majority of Zionists are atheists who have found a way to attach a political agenda rather conveniently to a religious narrative. To believe literally in the Biblical narrative is fanatical, that was what I was trying to point out to you. Yes, there are such fanatics – Zionist Christians and evangelicals among them – what I took exception to is your tone, that the idea of Satanic forces running the show should be seriously considered. If you believe this, you really do need medication.

As for my “part of the world,” people’s views here are much less extreme than most westerners would believe. The news media loves to stereotype “Arabs,” if you haven’t noticed. But be prepared – I’m personally convinced that the treaty between Israel and Egypt will be scrapped after the elections.

Whoa, you can jump on the horse and go off on a wild tangent in your part of the world. I said nothing about your beliefs. You did that to me with your comment about me being on medication. I did say that writing would not be for arguments, but that must be what you are looking for. Sorry, old gal, that is not where I find by kicks.

You have no right to make presumptions about my spiritual beliefs, Jamesat17. My part of the world? What part would that be?

Well Maryam. Nose snubbed. Thankfully, you don’t speak for Alan. Maybe Alan will have a comment about what I mentioned. Of course what I mentioned is from studying something you are unfamiliar with, hence having people snub their nose at the idea of an invisible force that influences mankind, called Satan and demons. I hope that you will still send me an email, that is if you still have it. It would be interesting to see the views of someone from your part of the world. Writing would not be for arguments, but for new understandings, views and of course for the fun of having someone to write to. James

James, do you take medication for that? Sorry, I can’t take you seriously and I doubt Alan will, either.
