The first
issue is the future of the so called Palestinians, the descendants of
the Biblical Philistines. Many are crowded into the tiny Gaza Strip.
Many of them, and many more in Jordan and other surrounding countries
genuinely believe that Israel will soon cease to exist, the Jews will
all be gone, perhaps exterminated, and all these Refugess and
descendants of refugees will be able to return to some mythical,
ancestral lands. This is the true policy of genocide but with clever
publicity for persuasive oratory many people are duped into believing
that it is the Israelis who want to destroy the Palestinian Arabs.
Another similar reversal is the charge of apartheid, even though Arabs
who stayed or returned to Israel now enjoy full citizenship rights, in
excess, particularly for women, over people in any other Arab or Moslem
country, but Jews are forbidden to live in any Arab or Moslem country,
including a putative future Palestinian State. The riots against a few
Jews in an Arab neighbourhood of East Jerusalem is not seen as the
apartheid that it is, but Israel is accused of the same thing, with no
evidence, yet it is believed.
One solution is to extend Gaza
into Sanai, which is huge and largely uninhabited. The Palestinians
could have a country of significant size, perhaps retaining sovereignty
over most of the West Bank. This suggestion was supported by Egypt's
President al-Sisi but he dropped the whole idea when it was rejected by
the Palestinian representatives, presumably because it recognised
Israel's right to exist. The un-resettled refugees, now into their
third or fourth generation, are testament to the policy that Israel is
only temporary and will soon be gone.
It is also perpetuating
the problem by continuing to let the Palestinians define their "two
state solution" as including half Jerusalem. Israel has endlessly made
it clear that Jerusalem is now never to be divided, and that the
Palestinian exhortations are merely an ambit claim and that in private
discussion it is agreed that Jerusalem will remain Jewish and undivided.
However, publicly this claim for half Jerusalem still resonates,
especially with extremist Islamists. If it is not going to happen, it
should be dropped. The Australian Government should separate the claim
for half Jerusalem from the claim for a State under the "Two State
Solution" and agree to one but not the other. The Australian Government
could make this clear by building an Australian Embassy in Jerusalem,
perhaps from land bought at inflated price from departing Arabs in East
Jerusalem, also perhaps coming with an offer of resettlement in
Australia with a clear progression to full Citizenship.
Thank
you for reading this. I don't know how many of the many hundreds of
previous likers of this page will still receive messages. Perhaps it
will lead to a flurry of unliking, but I hope everyone who has ever read
my messages supports the existence of Israel as a Jewish State in the
Biblical land that Jews have venerated daily since the expulsion by the
Romans. I am attempting to add a link to an article about the issue,
so you can see it is real.

Saving Albert Park: Round and round we go
Host Barbara Clinton introduces the guests. “Tonight we’re devoting our programto the state government
re-signing the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Albert Park for a further five
years,” Clinton announces.
“Firstly, I’d like to ask Peter Goad, was this a surprise to us at Save Albert Park? What was your immediate reaction?”
“Well, Barbara, we’ve been protesting against this event now for 20 years,” Goad, the group’s president, replies.

Last Thursday, 19th June was a most traumatic day.
Last Thursday, 19th June was a most traumatic day.
On the previous Sunday (a week ago today) I had swum for the first time in ages and it went well. And then I had enjoyed The King and I, so it was a very good day. On Tuesday I went to see the Physician, as I had been on the BP medication for a month and was due to go back. I had felt a lot of arrhythmia in the preceding few weeks. I had had a long talk with Krista from BUPA on Saturday about it, and repeated it all with Dr Langdon. Anyway, by then things were settling down, so I was optimistic in his visit, and my BP was down and everything looked good.
Thursday I swam again, and felt really good afterwards, just a little bit exhausted, but that did not last. then I got lunch to take back to Billy, like I used to do, but not for him as he had a pie already. After lunch I had a really intense phone conversation with someone from the Royal Commission into Childhood Abuse. Then I helped Billy prune the front hedge. The day was going well, I thought. When I got home I had another call from another Royal Commission woman, this time about having more counselling, which I think I need. Anyway, later I felt not so good and my BP was way up again, like 180/90 or something like that. It has gradually come down since. I have had a little bit of the arrhythmia since, but it hasn't lasted long each time.
I am so depressed about it all. I keep thinking that surely my life is soon going to be over. How much longer can this last. I have moments of optimism, like thinking once the counselling takes hold I will get better, because surely this problem is due to the stress. I also have stress over 1209 High Street, who have not paid their rent again. Con is coming in Monday. After Brian Smith comes in, so I am not looking forward to a busy morning tomorrow. I am more upset by the bad treatment from Joanna Kordos, my new tenant. If she had treated me politely and asked for another rent free month, I would have said yes, but she ignores me and manipulates me and just takes what she wants without asking.
It doesn't rain but it pours. Just now 11.30, I had a call and now someone is coming in Monday at 9.30 to sign a paper. So three people that day. It is Con I am dreading.
This afternoon is another Neon, experimental play at 3.00 with the MTC. Perhaps it will be good, the one two weeks ago was brilliantly funny. I started a Facebook page to discuss plays a while back, but gave up on it quickly.
Oddly, I don't feel too bad right now. If my BP had not been still up a bit this morning, and hadn't been so high in the last couple of days, I would have gladly swam again. I really miss it, despite it being boring and tedious.
