The president of the United States George Bush has confirmed what Israel is trying to say, Hamas is to blame for the current crisis.

I don’t understand why the Arab world does not accept peace and security as a basis for resolving the conflicts instead of using these conflicts for their own gain. I believe in western logic of democracy and justice and am not happy with the current violence but for peace sake, all the Arab countries need to do is to say – Enough violence, let’s talk peace, no more Hezbollah and not more Hamas, accept Israel and the west and starting building bridges,not blowing them up.
Israel will not fire another bullet if Hamas stops, we pulled out and do not want Gaza, I believe Gaza should be annexed to Egypt and Palestians given Egyptian citizenship, then we’ll see how long they will stay in Gaza for?
All countries should accept the refugees as their own citizens and peace will come, Israel will not be destroyed and all the Arab will have to learn to live in peace with the Jewish nation.

As it’s new year, I have a couple of days holidays to rest,consolidate my thoughts for the year and make my new years resolutions.
As we begin 2009 Israel is hitting Gaza as a result of the Hamas rockets, the world is braced for a very difficult economic year ahead,America is getting to grips with a new president elect, South Africa is heading for elections on top of all the existing problems that we have, climate change, global warming, water and food shortages and the ever growing world population.
Sounds a lot to digest! Will how to do you eat a elephant, One peace at a time π
I believe very strongly in democracy, I believe very strongly in freedom of the individual to live his/her life to the full extent and be able to live out dreams and aspirations and I believe in the free market. The values
determine my life and lives of many people around me.
But I also believe that pure capitalism is not the answer, and neither is socialism and neither is communism, I also believe that the days of religion controlling the world should be behind us.
So where do we go from here, 2009 I believe is going to be a year of soul searching, each banker/accountant/lawyer/regulator/doctor/IT Consultant/politician/religious leaders needs to ask themselves, could I have done things differently,more responsibly last year and how can I change it next year. if this continue we will destroy ourselves.
So how do we get rid of the pure pursuit of material wealth, how do we get rid of money as a primary driver from our values and start seeking wealth in terms of the community and the world.
Israel
I strongly believe and am behind the actions currently being taken in Gaza, Hamas cannot be allowed to continue with firing rockets into Israeli territory, any country in the world would not accept this and Israel has shown restraint over the last year with civilians running scared every day in Israeli town, Hamas has it’s roots stemmed in hatred not only of the Israeli’s,Jews but anything western, this has come for the Islamic movements such as the Muslim brotherhood who’s aim it is to create a new Islamic state across the middle East, this movement was created at the end of the 1st world war when the Ottoman empire end and the British and french divided the middle east between them without any knowledge or full understanding of the region and created a conflict which continues today. Israel is the land of the Jews and has been promised to the Jews for 4000 years and will always be the Jewish homeland.
Yes, the Palestinians do deserve a place to live, in freedom and peace, but it must start with the Arab countries supporting peace and security, not Iran and Syria providing bombs and missiles to Hamas to cause more bloodshed, Iran and Syria are behind Hezbollah and Hamas and only want death a destruction, until this changes nothing will change in the middle east. Why have the arab countries kept the Palestinians in refugee camps for so long and not integrated them into their countries? Education and peace is vital and must be taught in schools and universities rather then hatred and suicide bombings!!!!
Israel exists as a country for 60 years but as a nation for 4000 years, long before anybody else and has a right to live in peace in it’s biblical lands. if anybody takes the time to understand the Israeli laws and decisions they will see Israel has given the most equality in Jerusalem for all religions and all people, Israel preaches peace and security, higher education is a must and Israel has a very high level of ethics, name me once Muslim country that has freedoms like Israel? Once Peace and security becomes primary this will all be resolved.
As for other issues I will cover as weeks and months go by.
Happy new Year π
