Random Thoughts... ideas, observations, impressions, replies and mostly just stuff floating through my mind as I take a partial SI Hiatus...
Nobody's right .. if everybody's wrong...
For What It's Worth.. The Buffalo Springfield...
I believe that Israel has a right to exist.... Jews have been in the area for thousands of years... but only had formal states for short periods... This land is their land as much as anyone’s..
Who are the Jews ? Biblically descendants of Shem ? ... Gee same as the Arabs... and a host of others... Both Jews and Arabs trace themselves back to Abraham/Ibrahim
Instead of Shem they are all acting like Shemp... that erstwhile 4th stooge... then again they were pretty violent too those stooges so maybe this is all appropriate after all...
So...Who are the Jews.. ? I've seen so many diverse looking Jews' that I thought I'd do some digging...
Well we have Ashkenazi, the majority and the most influential in the modern Diaspora... Likely the ones upon whom most North American stereotypes are formed.......
So...Who are the Jews.. ?
Well we have the Sephardim.... Those traditionally having settled in Iberia.. (Spain/Portugal) and greatly influencing the Mediterranean... Did well under Muslim domination of Iberia...
So...Who are the Jews.. ?
Well we also have Jews that never left the Middle East... Mizrahi ..
I know Jews that look like stereotypical Arabs... and those that are white ... not eastern looking at all...
Tay-Sachs Disease...Occurs basically in Ashkenazi Jews... seems rather a diverse group to me...
Arabs.. Exactly who are True Arabs... (well close to ethnically pure as I can tell)
Berbers... ?? No
Tuaregs...?? No
Levantines (Those occupying the Levant... One of the most conquered over places on earth... ) a melting pot ethnic groups including Arabs (the real ones from Arabia) and God knows who else..., Persians, Assyrians, Jews, Romans, etc etc......
Well let's start with the Arab league ... That's got to be made up of Arabs...right ?
Maybe Syria has a point wrt a Greater Syria...? The current British et al.. constructs of all those little countries... to abet Israel’s survival and other political goals..
Egyptians ? Well no not really... They are another mixed group... Arabs sure didn't build the Pyramids and Sphinx
Libyans ? Naw.. Really mostly Berbers (and many smaller minorities) but mostly assimilated into Arabs culture... Yes who are Arabs...
Algerians ? Another mixed bag like Libyans... Overpowered Berbers...
Moroccans ? Again a mixed bag....
Tunisia ? More Arabised ...Berbers...
The Sudan ? Arabs with Nubian (Kushite) roots and non-Arab Black Africans--with hundreds of ethnic and tribal divisions. So another real hodgepodge of pretend Arabs...
Somalia ? Well they don't even pretend to be Arabs... but they are members of the Arab league... BTW they have a clan-based society... which likely explains why they have no effective federal government...
Mauritania ? Well they are mostly black or mixed black/Arab/Berber... and the remainder mixed Arab/Berber..
Djibouti ? Well who cares ... but they are mostly blacks... Somali, Afars etc... but they are in the Arab league.... < 3/4 million souls
Comoros ? OK I didn't know this was a country... but they are in the Arab league... more of those 'black' Arabs :O) < 3/4 million souls
Jordan and Lebanon ? well more Levantines...
Iraq ? Well at least they are about 80% Arabs... and they get along so well ....
Oman ? OK Mostly Arab...
UAE, Kuwait huge non-Arab populations to do the work.. (sounds like trouble)
Saudi Arabia... Yes well 80% Arab but WOW 20% others... to do the work I suppose...
Qatar... Predominantly NON Arab (trouble ?) and hence non citizens... but then again very Liberal by Arab standards...
Bahrain ? 1 3rd non-Arab.. again, workers... (more future trouble)
Yemen... FINALLY !!!! Mostly real Arabs... (once had a large Jewish population)
So the war between the Arabs and the Jews... it's all perfectly clear.. right ?
Europeans are still meddling... and the US...
Iraqi war a scam IMO.. Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinians, Israel, Taliban et al are where the focus should have been...if we really were waging a war on terror...as in terror against the West...
what a colossal waste of lives, money and time... The only terror in Iraq was in..... well IN Iraq... and we had one big terrorist Saddam without the wherewithal to do anything to the West...
How come Afghanistan is such a mess still and the 'Coalition of the blankety blank' went to Iraq.. SCAM ?! OIL ? Geopolitics..? Misguided neocon Manifest Destiny dogma ?. We hear a lot more about Afghanistan now that Canada is more prominent there ....
Does the West (US and Britain esp) really want peace in the Middle East ? Hard to believe that IMO... I think Israel as a western proxy as much a pawn as Arab states..
Arabs still suffer from internecine warfare... dark ages. for them .. still...
Islam entered it's Dark Ages in the 1300's... 600 years after inception... Christianity in the late 400's with the fall of Rome... Crusades... Internecine rivalries resulting in warfare started to wane.. Islam Dark Ages.,.. Internecine rivalries.. predominate... still today...
Islam the problem ?... no more so than Christianity was,.. Islam has not caught up.... So yes in that sense it is a problem...
Americans much more fundamentalist and politics greatly influenced by religion... quite different from Canada...
Tomatoes and Dahlias are boffo this year... Corn bolted and sucked...
Huge Crab grass problem this year.. Thankfully it's not Quack Grass....
No June bugs... almost no earwigs,,, few mosquitoes but found a dead raven in my garden today ... Health department to pick it up tomorrow... West Nile possible from it's behaviour..
The In ground sprinkler system I installed works great... Some tweaking required in the back.... Lot's of work though to get it to look professional..
Israel like Tibet IMO... Just get over it Ichy says to the Arabs... On this we agree...
Many resistance wars in North Africa are not really about religion but ethnicity, culture and politics.. result of European meddling and country design not based on what was good for the indigenous folks....
Islam's last gleaming ?... In my life will its influence wane to a Christian like status ?
Will Muslims overpopulate Canada into a fundamentalist state ? Well not through democracy.. Women can vote too... but it's not usually by democracy anyway.. but by insurgency... and tacit popular support...
Israel does pretty much whatever it wants....
Muslims purposely target civilians... Israelis have collateral damage.... big difference ? or just Semitic semantics ? :o)
Strategy of both sides has not changed since the inception of Israel... Now that's progress...What a bunch of cavemen...
Hezbollah et al... MUST recognize Israel's right to exist... those Jews won't be accepted in any other country anyway... they are staying put....
Can anyone tell me what the invasion of Iraq really accomplished ? OK Sadam is gone and ... Oh I guess that's it...
I wish someone would come up with weapons of mass destruction for my crabgrass...
By the way.. what's up with Afghanistan... Now that Canada is more heavily involved... we hear a lot more about it... Just what was the success there ? Is the Taliban gone ? no.. are a few major cities.. under UN control with basically a martial law... yes.. Is a blind eye being turned to the cultivation of opium poppies ? yes... Drug production is apparently 1/3 the Afghan GDP...
Why the hell did Iraq get invaded before Afghanistan was OK ? Oh yeah WMDs and we did get Sadam... and provide a much more fertile and nurturing atmosphere for militant Islam there... Chalk another one up for the good guys... sigh... :0(
Imagine all the people..... Oh I digress... Imagine all the money and energy pi$$ed away in Iraq being focused upon resolving the issues in Palestine and Lebanon.... Yeah John and I... what a couple of stupid dreamers...
Maybe the Syrians have a point... Greater Syria.. (but leave the Israeli lands alone thank you) After all ethnically most of those folks in Syria and Lebanon and Jordan and Palestine... are Levantine... Not really really really real Arabs.. Gee now I'm rambling...
BTW... did everyone know that Pashtuns are > 40% of the Afghan population but better 15% of the Pakistani population, tall, with blue or green eyes ? Blond is not uncommon.... Puts a new spin on the derogatory term Paki eh ?
Ichy... Did all those folks have guns ?
Aw they all look the same to me anyway... well maybe not the Pashtuns....

Like all the previous ones... and the next one and the next... Seems like a sound strategy...
Now a point I've mentioned before... Israel likely cannot stay on top forever.. They have US and British support.. but then again with the rise of China scheduled to be the largest economy in the world... with all the trappings... where will that leave them in China's thirst for Middle East oils ? since the US is excluding them from NA wherever p[possible.. Naw.. they are cooked and unless they (Israelis) find a better way... and the US effectively abandoning Afghanistan and then their big accomplishments in Iraq... now that's cogent thinking and effective tactics... to end terrorism..

But Lebanon is a democracy and Shiites are not in the majority
Message 22758699 Ichy... democracy ? Well sort of I guess... maybe... you could say that... Lebanon's Parliament.... The Speaker of the Parliament, who must be a Shi'a Muslim, is elected to a four-year term. He forms part of a "troika" together with the President (required to be a Maronite Christian) and the Prime Minister (a Sunni Muslim). The privileges of the Speaker are unusually powerful, relative to other democratic systems; for example, the Speaker is able to veto any legislation passed by a majority of parliament.
Why not give them another 600 years to sorta' play catch-up, eh?

the rock in Mecca
Message 22763856
One take ....
The religion of the pre-Islamic Arabs was a mixture of Bedouin polytheism, Judaism, and a little bit of Christianity. The pre-Islamic Arabs worshipped three goddesses, al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat, who were all daughters of one god, Allah—this one god was probably derived from the monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity. Mecca was the center of this religion with its Ka'ba, or "Cube," which served as the temple for the religion.
