Bibib Banters Nonsense

Posted on May 3, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues selling the same bull concerning reasons for not being able to negogiate peace with Palestinians. “The Palestinians’ lack of will to recognize the state of Israel as the national home of the Jewish people is the root of the conflict.” Strange, until the 1960s no Israel leader made a condition of peace recognition of the state of Israel as the national state of the Jewish people. Of course, 20% of people currently living in Israel are Muslim or Christian.

This is simply Bbi the flim flam man selling a nostrum that promises health and security to Jews when, in reality, it simply makes everyone sick and tired of Israel’s attempts to avoid compromise and peace. I,a Jew, live in a land in which people of my religion constitute about 2% of the population. I do NOT wish the US to be designated as the national home of Christians!

Peace Comes Before Peace

Posted on May 1, 2013 by | Leave a comment

During the South African struggle against white rulers there were numerous murders of innocent people, bombs set off, and innocent people killed. Finally, led by Nelson Mandela and concerned white people, a truce came about and people agreed not to look back, but to look forward. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission forgave those who had murdered, and, in so doing, set the stage for peace. US Secretary of State John Kerry has been working with the Arab League and both Israel and Palestinian leaders in order to get the path of peace to become well traveled. But, there still remain forces which prefer violence and accountability for past crimes.

Israel authorities killed a Palestinian militant who was behind violence. Hitham Masshal, a global terrorist” was taken out. On the West Bank, Eviatar Borovsky, a West Bank settler, was murdered while waiting for a bus. Prime Minister Netanyahu vowsa “we will not accept the sporadic firing of  rockets.”

If peace is the goal, then focus on peace.  Initially, it will not be perfect and some very bad people will get away with minimum punishment. Nelson Mandela understood that if peace is the goal, then end revenge and  concentrate of peace and harmony. It is a choice.

Guantanamo Forever!

Posted on May 1, 2013 by | Leave a comment

After the end of World War II, trials were held for those who led the Nazi government as well as for generals. Many were found guilty, some were executed and others placed in jail. Of course these criminals had murdered over 30 million people as well as raped millions and destroyed vast areas of land. In theory, those who fought against US forces in Afghanistan were supposedly to be either placed in prison and put on trial or….. At this point, it is unclear what the “or” was. Over a hundred prisoners are still in Guantanamo and there are no trials, no  charges brought against anyone, just endless hours and days of jail time. I imagine this group was responsible for, not millions, but hundreds of deaths.

Over 100 prisoners are on hunger strikes, at least 21 are being forced fed. The horror that is Guantanamo goes on and on. President Obama would like to close the prison, but, like always, he lacks the guts to do anything requiring moral courage.

Fact: Nearly all the 166 prisoners have been held without any charges filed agaisnt them. If they are guilty, place them on trial, if not, do the morally correct act-set them free.

Flying Saucers Sighted!

Posted on April 30, 2013 by | Leave a comment

I am old enough to recall the good old days when people gazed with anxiety at the sky as flying saucers zoomed above. For some reason, our extraterrestrial folk only wanted to go to the state of Arizona, I gather they came from warm planets and they were rather short and looked like illegal immigrants from Mexico. Six former members of Congress who were unable to arrive at a budget plan decided to hold hearings in order to discuss our alien neighbors. Stanton Friedman informed the meeting that a “flying saucer crashed and was retrieved by the government.” Life forms in this saucer have been kept in a secret room for over half a century while wars and famine rage on the planet.

I now understand why Congress is unable to reach a compromise on the budget. They have to get clearance from the alien government which is still debating whether or not to remain  on this planet. I suggest if they really are “intelligent life forms”they should be racing to the nearest saucer and heading to where there truly are “intelligent life forms.” It is beyond belief that Republican life exists on other planets in this universe. Alien, go Home. Now!

A Bombs And Iran

Posted on April 23, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The Israel government believes Iran is moving quickly to develop an atomic bomb and may possess one as early as the end of the year. Amos Yadlin, former head of Israel intelligence warned the famous “red line” will be crossed within a few months and Iran will pose a new threat to the nation of Israel. In his words, “we are heading toward a collison course by the end of the year.” Yadlin believes the time has come to end jaw, jaw and prepare for war, war. He spoke just as the US promised Israel new planes and military equipment.

Perhaps, it is time for innovative thinking. How about the US and Israel offering the following to Iran:

1. Israel will allow UN inspectors to check out its nuclear facility.

2. Israel will destroy fifty percent of its nuclear weapons.

3. Israel will freeze all new settlements on the West Bank.

4. Israel will proceed to work for a compromise agreement with President Abbas.

In exchange:

Iran will allow UN inspectors into all nuclear facilities.

Iran will proceed with non-military nuclear development.

Earth Day Not A Day Today

Posted on April 22, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Eath day began in the early  1970s, a time before Facebook and the soical media. Gee, it was nearly half a century ago when people actually began to think about the earth and its environment. Original surveys discovered that 63% of Americans regarded the environment as an important issue and another 25 % were also concerned. Fast forward to 2013 and only 41% think it is important while 16% don’t lose any sleep over what happens to the planet. After all, on Facebook, there are more important issues of the day-what did you have for breakfast? Or, what are you wearing to work today? And, of great importance, please, please send me pictures of your children!!

Social media has shifted concern for our planet’s survival to concern for the petty issues of every day life. Imagine going through an entire day without sharing the fact you hurt your toe! Wow! The Earth will conclude, not with a bang, but with a whimper from someone whose feelings were hurt because you did not share your dinner menu with them!

Send Signal To Iran

Posted on April 21, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel made clear that signing an agreement with Israel which provides $10 billion for new missiles and advanced aircraft sends a signal to Iran not to mess with Israel. Of course, Israel has over 50 atomic bombs to drop on Iran, Israel already has advanced missiles and planes to use against Iran, but we must make clear to that terrorist state to mess with a nation possessing nuclear weapons could result in bad things occurring. The US is always sending “messages” to Iran, but for some strange reason we are unable to send a “message” to Israel to offer its Muslim citizens  equal rights, or to insist that Israel adhere to United Nations decisions.

Perhaps, if the United States sent a message to Israel to work for peace with its Palestinian neighbors there might actually be peace for the people of Israel. Perhaps, if we insisted that Israel respect the rights of Palestinians, the end result would be peace and security both for Palestinians and for Israelis!

Aliens–Stay Away!!

Posted on April 20, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The NASA Kepler telescope has discovered the presence of at least two planets in a distant galaxy that appear capable of sustaining life. 62-e and 63-f are trillions of miles away from we humans, and one can only say, “thank God” you life forms have no contact with life forms who term themselves to be “human.” If you life forms have any semblance of intelligence, stay far, far away from we humans. In theory, we are intelligent life forms, but any definition of the word, “intelligent” has nothing to do with we creatures. I do not  know what you aliens call yourselves, but do you really want to visit life forms who:

1. Engage in nonstop wars in which they kill one another.

2. Allow a few to possess enormous quantities of goods while most people go hungry.

3. Claim some nice Jewish Rabbi or some nice Arab are somehow connected to a thing that allegedly lives up in the sky.

4. Allow countless people to lack health care because they don’t have enough money!

5.  Are very capable of hating and killing those who look different.

6. Actually, differentiate one from the other based on skin color rather than hair or eye color!

PLEASE, STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM HUMANS!!

Two Years And Out

Posted on April 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Secretary of State John Kerry informed Congressional committees that the window for peace in the Middle East between Israel and Palestinians is about two years. “I believe the window for a two-state solution is shutting. I think we have some period of time-a year toa  year and a half to two years, or it’s over.” He found support from Muslim nations in the Middle East for a two state solution. President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority agreed to refrain from seeking action by the United Nations for an eight week period. Unfortunately, years have passed, years in which American leaders refused to exert pressure on the Israel government to do anything that might result in peace.

Too many Israelis live in a world of fantasy. They actually believe one can havea  modern democratic society in which one group has all the power and the other group has nothing. Israel wants to be recognized as a “Jewish state” even though 20% of the people are Muslim or Christian. OK, Israel, how about recognizing the US as a “Christian state?”

With God Not On His Side

Posted on April 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Despite political differences there is one thing that those of the Orthodox persuasion, whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim are in total agreement, those who do not believe can not be believed. Muslim Morocco blogger, Kacem El Ghazzali has aroused fear and anger because of his comments regarding religion. He began an anonymous blog on which he professed not to believe in God, but it did not take long for someone to find out his name–such is the modern world. Article 220 of  the penal code in Morocco makes it a crime if anyone employs incitement “to shake the faith of a Muslim or to convert him to another religion.”

Kacem daily receives  death threats and warnings of beatings unless he shuts up. As one person put it to him, “we can tolerate an atheist, but not an atheist activist.”  After living underground for a year, Kacem got a visa to Switzerland. Such is life in the democracy known as Morocco.
