Gaza Update - Middle East Crisis

Telegraph - Gaza Live: Reports in its 7.25pm post the following, " The Israel Defence Forces have now confirmed firing on a target near a UN school in southern Gaza today, an attack that killed 10 people, according to the latest in from AFP. A statement says the strike was targeting militants on a motorbike.. "

Lets Get Real:

The Israeli Governments expect the WORLD to be critical of its action, its always Israel that should pause, what about the World get off its backside and force Hamas not to rocket Israel or build tunnels that allow terrorists to attack Israel.   The elite world opinion is fast to be critical of Israel, no Country on earth would tolerate rockets being thrown at it with no action, Hamas is a terrorist body, it does not care for peace, it will never agree that Israel should even exist.   Thus Israel has to throw public opinion off and take what ever action is needed, its time to be firm, the UK Foreign Office has already house trained the new Foreign Secretary, it did not take long.   The US is no friend of Israel, the people of Israel will have to wait for another US President in 2017. This is the time for Israel to fight. 

Israel SPIED on Secretary Kerry - Middle East Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Israel spied on John Kerry during failed peace talks ... Der Spiegel says Israelis eavesdropped on phone calls "

Lets Get Real: 

Of course Israeli Intelligence had its ears open when Secretary Kerry was on his mission, the Obama Administration has been no friend of Israel, thus the Israeli Government would want to know what the State Department thought and what the Oval was planning next.  The Obama Administration can not say much as it has been spaying on most of the World through the NSA. The NSA even bugged the phone of the German Chancellor and she is a close ally of the USA. In this modern World everyone buggs everyone else, its healthy there are no surprises that can lead to hot wars, the US spies on its close allies and its enemies such as Russia.   That is how the game is played, diplomacy is helped if everyone knows what the bottom line is, thus Wars do not develop. 

World War One - The Great War

BBC News: Reports " World War One commemorated in events across UK "

Lets Get Real:

In today's UK the Great War or World War One is seen through the optics for TV, Film and book versions of the War, thus if you stop someone in the street and ask them to sum up the War in one word you could find the following words, used, Trenches, Waste, Part 1 or 2, or if you dig deep and gave the public a choice they might say, it was the fault of the Germans, it was to rescue Belgium, those on the left might say it was a War for those to make money,etc.    So if you ask this blog what the War was about, you would get the following, the real point of entry for the UK was to protect our ally France, the Cabinet was only united when Germany invaded Belgium.   The protection of Belgium was underwritten by the UK and Germany, when Germany sent her troops through the UK has to act, but the Britain at the the time was more concerned about the Irish troubles, those troubles were set aside once Germany invaded, and also made the Cabinet united, it can be argued that the UK would never have allowed France to go under, as having Germany that close to British wasters was to much of a threat to the Empire in the long term.   Thus once France was under threat it was only a matter of time before the UK came riding to the rescue. 

Hamas BREAKS Gaza Ceasefire - Middle East

BBC News - Gaza Live: Reports in its 7.57pm post the following, " Mr Obama says he "unequivocally condemns" Hamas for capturing the soldier "minutes after a ceasefire had been announced".

Lets Get Real:

Thus Hamas could not help itself, it has gotten elite and public sympathy for the Israeli actions, then it spoils the PR optics by the taking of an Israeli Soldier, if they have a brain cell they will release the Soldier at once, otherwise Israel will feel it has the ALL CLEAR to take what ever action is need to get its soldier back.   Thus the Oval has been pushed back on its feet, its strong critical words of Israel looks hollow and as if the Oval has no idea of what is going on in the Middle East.   The Oval should have learned from previous Administrations, stay the hell out of the Middle East and if you have to say something, just support Israel. 

US and Russian - Ukraine Crisis

The White House: Reports on the telephone call between President Obama and President Putin of Russia, the readout is as follows, " President Obama spoke today with Russian President Putin about the situation in Ukraine and the bilateral relationship.  The President reiterated his deep concerns about Russia’s increased support for the separatists in Ukraine.  The President reinforced his preference for a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Ukraine, and the two leaders agreed to keep open their channels of communication.  The President also reiterated his concerns about Russia’s compliance with its obligations under the INF Treaty. "

Lets Get Real:

President Putin has no respect for Obama, he thinks he is weak and is a pushover, the lack of military action after the shooting down of MH17 HAS shown that the US and the EU is weak when it comes to the defence of Western Europe and its interests.   It has been noted that President Putin has respects for animals that do not cow or show fear in his presence, well that should tell you what Putin thinks of Obama.   The lack of military support by the US for Kiev Governments shows how weak the position of the US is, any other President would have supported Kiev with arms to fight the Russians should they invade.   Also the Russian breaking of the INF Treaty shows that RUSSIA can not be trusted, its not a fit partner for Western Europe. 

Ebola IN the UK - Ebola Crisis

Telegraph - Ebola Live: Reports " An asylum seeker who had arrived in Britain from Liberia was suspected of carrying the deadly virus Ebola, it has emerged,.."

Lets Get Real:

Those right wing press with run with this story, it has the two headlines that always works, asylum seekers bring death,  Ebola bought by Immigration, whatever the actual merits of the story the most on the margins of society  will face the wrath of a frightened people.   As for the virus it is being held in Africa, there is of course the chance, and its a great chance due to nature of modern travel that Europe, Asia, etc will start to show cases.   The Ebola virus eats you up from the inside, it bleeds you out, and the medical profession has no cure, those trying to help are modern heroes, but sooner or late, if not Ebola there will be killer virus, its on the cards, it is a shock   that it has not happened yet, its the part of nature that is the most scary, a virus that can not be cured, is air born, and  and attacks from within.   The Spanish Flue killed as many people as those killed in World War One, it will happen again, it is just around the corner. 

Gaza Update 2 - Middle East Crisis

Guardian - Live Gaza: Reports the following, " UN, US announce ceasefire to begin Friday morning...All parties have agreed to an unconditional humanitarian ceasefire’ ".

Lets Get Real:

The optics of taking out UN buildings was not good for Israel, also the Oval it can be assume placed pressure on Israel to agree to the ceasefire, lets see how long it lasts, will Hamas in Gaza really not fire rockets at Israel, or will they just say ISRAEL broke it first even if they have not and start to fire again and use their tunnels.   The Israeli Government must stand tough, it must stand up to the US and the UN, the UN has never supported Israel and in 2017 there will be a new US President, it could be a Republican thus can be expected to support Israel.
