Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
"Why? "
Because, despite your having put it up, you have screamed "thread drift" when anybody but yourself has mentioned it.
Israel has been discussed in relation to vetos which have been applied in the past in abundance in support of terrorism - including those by by the US in protecting Israel from being condemned for their behaviour.
The Olympics, Munich or elswehere, have their own thread and have no place whatever here as they have no relevance whatever to your own thread - "Homs Horror" - or perhaps you'd like to explain why they do?
You now appear to have dropped the pretence that this is about Syria and rather a PR exercise in support of Israel.
But since you ask - and I will not take this any further on this thread.
I am appalled at all acts of terror, whether they be the killing of Israeli tourists or the facilitating of the massacres of thousands of refugees - and everything between. To emphasise one and deny the others is to take sides - I don't go there.
I am saddened that anybody should resort to slaughtering non-combatants using these methods for any cause, religious, political, or territorial.
Perhaps, if we still have a UN when all this is over, they might concentrate on finding a peaceful solution to all these problems now the Arab Spring has opened the possibility of democracy in those countries that have in the past been propped up by western arms sales in order not to rock the boat and threaten our oil supplies.
Meanwhile - back at the ranch.....
