A new member of NATO ?

Yehuda Lukacs suggests admitting Israel as a member of NATO, protected by the "one-for-all, all-for-one" policy of the 28-member alliance.






 This is the most obscene proposal that I have ever heard . Bringing in a blood soaked nation, conceived in the terrorist acts of the Haganah, Irgun, Stern Gang and others, guilty of the most atrocious crimes against humanity in their policies of ethnic cleansing and apartheid against the Palestinians. A country guilty of the most evil acts of aggression against Lebanon, Gaza and other neighbours and the use of munitions, banned under international treaty. Israel, in occupation of Palestinian lands since 1967, continues to build settlement in defiance of all international opinion and destroys Palestinian homes, farms and what little infrastructure still remains. Israel is the nuclear armed menace in the Middle East and deserves no place in any civilised organisation. Having said that however,   I have little time for NATO, as I consider it to be an American inspired and dominated organisation, created as a threat to the former Soviet Union of the 1950's and 60's, and to expand American influence with a scant facade of international credibility. However, to admit Israel into this organisation, would be to invite hostility from the rest of the world, and would demonstrate an hypocrisy unparalleled in history. Ironically, perhaps admission of Israel would in itself, bring about the disintegration of NATO, as any self respecting member country could not possibly condone such a despicable country being admitted. The people of many NATO member countries would I believe, be incensed by such a move. Israel deserves international isolation rather than tacit approval of it's evil regimes.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

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
