Berlin Wall vs Palestine Wall
Of course a real comparison would be measured by how the soviets regularly pulverised West Berlin from the air and occasionally launch massively destructive ground attacks destroying Berlins basic infrastructure, and preventing all flights landing, and refusing to talk to whatever government the population elected. And refusing to allow most goods into the city.
It is a good thing that Israel is the only democracy in the region, means anything other than the best equipped army running the show.
Remember too, that the Berlin wall was 96 miles long, while the Palestinian wall is significantly larger stretching out over 400 miles.
Anyway yesterday Palestinian youth destroyed a hole in Israels security wall with the Palestinian territories as a symbolic gesture to mark 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Like the Berlin Wall previously it snakes through Palestinian land, isolating people from their land, extended family and friends, and one day soon, this oppressive apartheid wall will one day fall. too Despite all obstacles the Palestinian peoples determination to be free remains as strong as ever. Their thirst for freedom grows, the walls that surround them, do not protect, but cruelly divide, they don't prevent a peoples existence, but only serve to incite resistance.

Lest we forget
90% of victims of war are civilians , lest we forget to move forward from bloodshed and work for peace. If as much money was put into this objective as there is nto killing and its misery it would benefit the whole world.
Those who benefit the most financially are those with investments in the war machine and land/resource grabbing. Today I feel reinforces the ideal of patriotism and militarism, in stark contrast to the original ' Armistice day' when the nations of the world hoped to be united in peace. The horrors and misery of World War 1 still need remembering, but not in a way that reinforces an ugly military agenda. Today politicians stand praying for peace while preparing for war...their hypocrisy abounds. The grisly facts and horrors of war in all our histories is worth more than all the false red poppy illusions that are being seen today. Sadly the red poppy today has been hijacked by arms companies, look how last week Lockheed Martin, the World's biggest arms company sponsored the Poppy Rocks Ball., and Thales joined Boris Johnson in a Big Red poppy Billboard at Westminster.
Today I remember all those sadly lost, in two World Wars but also those that everyday risk their lives to build peace and prevent conflict, and time turn to one another as friends, united in our goals working together, so that the future potential of conflict could be resolved to the extent that all the current spending on arms and the war machine was no longer necessary.

Israels protective edge operation.
When we talk of Israels protective edge operation in Gaza, we should not forget over 2130 humans bombed to death, the over 500 children or the 89 families exterminated. We speak of the living, and this is their life. Tens of thousands of refugees will be finding shelter from the cold, wind and the rain,in bombed United Nations schools and the remains of their destroyed homes.
And Gaza remains beseiged, the biggest ghetto in the world awaiting the next round of oppression, knowing that any form of resistance will be labelled terrorist.
Boycott Israel.

Moan
Still can't upload photos or video in libraries, but that is the least of our problems. At the moment in time we have a corrupt authoritarian government thrashing everything decent about this country, flogging of our public services, cutting our beloved welfare state- all of which we have paid for, killing 1000's through their cruel draconian policies, founded on social Darwinism and eugenics by stealth, and what are the nation and media babbling on about? How much Millibland gave a woman who was begging, and how he looked while doing it, the same as he usually does. Tories, labour, the bloody liberals, where is the difference. There whole damn country seems to be heading back to the workhouse times. A man immoral bunch that make me ashamed and angry to say the least
Tens of thousands of desperate jobseekers will be forced to cancel Christmas too, due to benefit sanctions, job centres develop a scrooge like mentality at this time of the year, about 59,000 job seekers were sanctioned in December 2013.
Gradually all are support and sustenance is being kicked away. Bah.
