Nice to see you again Jim, but nothing changes & you're still far too fast on the responses for me to keep up with let alone join in. I was impressed with your initial video; very little deviation & very few ums & errs, certainly no hint of swerving off into swivel eyed lunacy, which is a danger anyone who sits down in front of a camera must guard against.

That was a most impressive speech from the Israeli ambassador, powerful, but without the strident tone mere propagandists can't keep out of their voices. Accurate in detail, truthful & heartfelt.

What an irony it is that the best of the west is now to be found amongst the former outcasts.

Apparently the Gaza town of Rafa has been built with Gulf Arab money as a luxury enclave for the Hamas leadership, but with military defensibility from an urban warfare perspective uppermost in the architectural design.

So what is it with the Gazan Arabs. They've been wanting a war for decades & now they've got one by their own actions they don't like it.

Pray that Rafah will be turned to gravel, that Hamas will be gone & that it will finally sink in with those people what NEVER AGAIN means.
