Lambcut's pen began to drip red ink when she read this post.
It is suspected that this post will be too left field for the Splendidly Busted One’s navy blue blog. But, if you are reading it then she has surprised the Lamb and published.
No sane person is a Holocaust denier. The Holocaust, without a breath of a doubt, was the greatest travesty and horror of the twentieth century. Having said that, if one puts aside sub groupings amongst Semitic peoples (Arabs, including Palestinians are Semitic too), the horror continues into this century unabated, and it continues unsung.
We, and I mean we in the Western aligned countries, continually report on the lives lost among our people in the fight against “terror”, against the “Axis of Evil”.
Oy! It’s enough already!
It’s actually quite hard to Google up good sound sources on the death ratio regarding US and Allied incursions. Try it and see. You have to go a lot more than six clicks deep. It behooves an inquiring mind to wonder why. Where are, and what happened to the ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth Estate. American and allied losses are around 4,500. That figure we can be sure of. It Googles easily and in bulk from sound sources.
On the other hand, estimates of the number of Iraqis killed since the war started on March 20, 2003, range from nearly 91,000 to more than 600,000. Blowed if I know with any certainty; and nor do you. What we can know with considerable certainty is that Iraqi civilian losses outweigh ours, tens of thousands to one. Reporters there make their reports from sheltered compounds in the major cities, quite misleadingly, as though they were in the field as first hand observers.
Lambcut knows this from first hand knowledge of reporting with regard to the 2006 Israeli incursion into the Lebanon. Let us not go into that, or BB, out of misplaced protectiveness toward Lambcut, will never publish.(note from Editor BB - But we will write the book!)
Try Googling Corporal Gilad Shalit. He is the Israeli soldier still held hostage presumably somewhere in the Lebanon. See what you get in the first six clicks. A multitude of sound sources Google up from that search. Now try Googling information on the 11,000 Palestinians held by Israel; held without trial or due process of law. You won’t find a single name from among the souls languishing there. Not one. Not in the first six clicks; probably not on the first six pages.
There can’t be much doubt for any “well informed person” (although Lambcut seldom meets any here in NZ) that the entire Middle Eastern problem centers on strategic control of Middle Eastern oil stocks and Palestine’s importance in that regard. It’s all about the oil. The Western media has managed very ably to perpetrate the myth that Palestinians and Israelis have “always fought” and that peace cannot reasonably be expected - ever. Let Lambcut tell you, as a matter of incontrovertible historical fact that Israel didn’t even bloody well exist until 1948.
Get this - England and France spent around 300 years at war. How long did the Irish conflict last? We can hope for and we can expect peace in the Middle East. Unnaturally drawn borders never last. Be in no doubt, the lack of hope with regard to the Israeli Palestinian conflict is Israeli generated spin.
As to Lambcut’s suspicion of fatuous, superficial, sound-bite twitter reporting: in that thing Lambcut shares BB’s suspicions. Poor, indeed very poor journalism is at the root of the matter. All of you who might still regard the media as a special thing, the fourth estate of government with a singular privilege and a commensurate responsibility, you go forward now, and do something about it.

The Balfour Declaration with regard to a Jewish homeland was November 1917. Not 1948.
19148 was from memory the UN Resolution on the establishment of the state of Israel.
I apologise Adam, you are correct in that the Balfour Declaration was made in 1917 in an effort to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. It was not to establish a separate state of Isreal. Isreal as I correctly stated did not exist until 1948.
The incorrect reference to the Balfour Declaration has been removed from the post. Thanks Adam for drawing my attention to it.
Seeing you raised it though, it’s worth noting that the Balfour Declaration coincides with the West’s burgeoning awareness at that time of the importance of the Middle East as a source of oil.
i apologise all and as some said the Balfour declaration was mada at 2-11-1917. and in that time the british kigdam was occupied palastine. and at 15-5-1948 the date of british kingdam droops go back their home, they help the armies person of israilian to catch most of the places in palastine .before this date no israilian state, by bummbes and force and helping frome the east stolle the palastinan land

I think the time is come to use our minds and to give a balance view toward the historical effects specially that loan in the neck of the world which called (holocaust).
I am not here to deny that or to say it true.
I guess the Nazi make bad things, and millions of people killed without any senses, including some of newish, but the major question
Why the Palestinian people and Palestinian land must paid this loan. Where the Jewish killed was in Germany and Poland etc….
And in that time the Arab Jewish was living among our people in the same land and same rights, in living realigned and all rights for what lord
Balfour deceleration to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine if you read well the declaration (a Jewish homeland in Palestine) you finds the name of land (Palestine) that mean the UK affairs minister give to
Jewish a place for others and what the rights he was have to give that in simple words the east in that time want a forward place to be as head of bridge to put his hands on all the area and they know well how this area rich in (oil) and to make a wall (enemy wall) to stop any relation between the west Arabic countries and the east Arabic countries and make always problem with the nighters to stop any going up process. Any way still now most of media in the world only look at the things of Israeli and I think there is many things must all the humanity know it from that time 15-5-1948 the date of the catastrophe of Palestine people, this new state which called Israel make 6 wars ageist the Arab in 1956 the Israelis army with help of France and united kingdom against Egypt. And in 1967 make the war against Egypt and Jordan and Syria and in this date take all Palestinian land (west bunk and Gaza and alquds (Jerusalem).and in 1973 other war against Syria and Egypt. and 1978 against south Lebanon and in 1982 against Lebanon and they occupied Beirut and in 2006 attack all Lebanon with thousand tones of bombs and 3 million cluster bombs and try inter in the Lebanon land but not success Israeliane army because of the resistance movement. And in 2009 attack Gaza trap also with thousand tons of bombs and use the white phosphor against the civilians in fact this is the real (Holocaust). And between their big wars the Israelis army attack and bomb a places they said it will be danger place for the Israel security that place called (Mafael tamous) in Irage and they attack a place in north of Syria and the attack and killed many Palestinian members (in Tunis, Cyprus Greek and very long list.) This is the true face of the Israel which called in the east media the only democratic state in the west
