Teach me to hate.
Warning, this is not a lovey dovey blog.
I was raised to think kindly of all. Be helpful , non-biased, non racist and accept people as they are. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Be polite.
But, as this world has evolved, I am getting more hate filled towards people.
Once those of a different persuasion just existed in the back ground. Live and let live. Now everything is shoved in my face.
Blacks were around some. Whatever. Store clerk, professional, news caster. I was not really aware of them being black. Or Chinese or Mexican or whatever. A restaurant here was owned by a gay man. My first belly dancing teacher was gay. It was one of those things we knew and ignored.
Today blacks riot. Gays march. People DEMAND we acknowledge them. Promote them. Glorify them. You know what? It is having the opposite effect. I no longer listen to the black news caster without noticing his race. Or the Mexican cook. Or cross dressing man.
I am starting to resent them all. Just leave me alone! Stop screaming at me to pat you on the head for being. I do not walk down the street naked. Do not fondle and tongue kiss in public. Don't stand on a soap box and yell my beliefs at you. Dont smash your front window because you dont sell me stuff at half price.
So realize all this diversity shoved at me IS turning me bias, prejudiced, racist, anti gay and all of it.
Just go back to being one of those people living their lives and respecting me living mine.

A Total Onslaught
I have nothing against Islam. It is the Jihadists that worry me. And those who think what is happening in Israel is something local and isolated, better have another think. It is part of something much bigger. 
Israel only appears to be a hotbed because they are more successful against the Jihadists. But open your eyes and look around. You'll find them all over. To name just a few locations, I can start with countries like Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Congo, Kenya, Somalia and, not long ago, as far south as Mozambique. This list is not nearly complete.
Europe and the Americas only think they're safe. It's already sticking its head out in France. Belgium, Denmark and Sweden also had problems with these Jihadists while the USA had their hands full with Al Qaeda. We remember 911 all too well.
On their own they appear as local and unrelated insurgencies but collectively they become a global catastrophe and I think those who don't see what's going on, don't want to see it.
Of course, I may be paranoid. I grew up in a country where we were spooked with all kinds of dangers. There were the black danger, the red danger, the yellow danger and any other conceivable danger but that does not mean that I'm wrong. As Adrian Monk said: "I may be wrong but I don't think so."

More Important
Few things can annoy me more than people who think their cause is more important than others who are in a similar situation.
BLM comes to mind. It is not that I think that black lives don't matter. To me, when a white (or black) cop kills a black (or white) man in the USA, it is no different than when a black (or white) vagrant kills a white (or black) farmer in South Africa. The fact is that all lives matter.
Sometimes we are too fond of playing the race card when we cannot get our way otherwise. In my experience such a person either secretly resent who he is and really wish he was somebody else or otherwise he uses racism as a ruse to gain sympathy for his cause.
Using racism as a prop just takes the focus away from the real problem.

Gotta Like It
I just noticed the like button on the blogs! 
I love to like things. Especially those blogs where you can't comment. I get to give a little appreciation in a new way! 
The evil in me would also like to see a
button, but I don't think we need any more reasons to criticize ourselves. We can get that by turning on the photo rating option. lol

Parable of the Blind and Deaf.
Once upon a time there were two men.
One was blind and the other was deaf and dumb.
( I am fully aware of my political incorrectness. I spare the terms visually impaired and speech and hearing impaired for real disable people with all due respect. )
Getting back to the story..
The deaf and the blind meet at a pub called CS on a daily basis for socializing.
Politics is their main topic of discussion, but their disabilities have limited them in many ways to understand the true nature of politics.
The blind man shouts from one side about the stuff he read only available with braille language made available to him by Fox.
The deaf and dumb can't hear what he says. He knows only things that had sign language translations by CNN. He vigorously argues with sign language from another corner. But the blind can't see.
Rest of the pub watch and watch and watch. ( SICK AND TIRED)
Some call for the bartender to throw them out.
Some ask them to shut up.
Most have avoided the pub altogether. (This is the sad part)
The moral of this story is.... who cares.
In honour of Biff and Harbal. I hope they will be free to blog again.
If I offended anyone I am sorry to say I am not sorry.

How can anyone vote for Trump, when even his staff won’t support him.
Vice President Mike Pence as well as two former defense secretaries, a former chief of staff, two former national security advisers, a former attorney general, and more ? all calling him everything from “an utter disgrace” to “an idiot.
True facts, Trumps own appointed staff will not vote for him as they believe he will destroy the constitution.
I urge Americans not to vote for Trump, don’t vote for Biden either that’s fine, neither should be President but Trump will force dictatorship onto a once land of the free.

Let's Ask Iran And Hamas To Stop As Well
Everybody calls for Israel to stop their attacks on Gaza. I fully agree with that but if they stop, will Hamas also stop? After all, they are responsible for the latest escalation of the war. And before you tell me that this is a seventy year old issue, I'm aware of that, but I'm talking about the current state of affairs.
Hamas don't care one bit about the Palestinians. Surely they knew that their acts of terrorism would provoke an Israeli retaliation of this kind. Actually, I believe that the current state of events is exactly what Hamas intended to provoke. And remember, Hamas have not seized their attacks on Israel for a moment.
They still fire missiles at Israel all the time. The proper response to a missile attack is to strike at where the missile was launched from. Sadly Hamas uses schools and hospitals as human shields by launching their missiles from there. Then everybody wants to condemn Israel but nobody says anything about the barbaric terrorists
trading as angelic Hamas. 
How can we expect Israel to stop while still under attack? It seems that everybody forgot the barbarous attack that initiated the current events. So, why don't we ask Iran and their stooges, whose only declared purpose is the destruction Israel, to stop as well?
Ps
The USA cannot stop this war. The only way to stop this war is a regime change in every terrorists state that supply Hamas , Hezbollah and the likes with weapons. These terrorists are not interested in peace. As long as they can lay their hands on weapons they will practise terrorism. It's their only trade. Even if the could manage to destroy Israel, the will just find another.

Sitting on a powder keg, holding a stick of dynamite, fuse smouldering.
If any of you ever had a loaded gun pointed at your head then you should have a very slight feeling of how the people of Israel and the Middle East is feeling.
Palestine knew the consequences when Hamas attacked Israel but they chose to look the other way. Hamas is NOT Palestine.
Who is Hamas?
HAMAS–the acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement)—is the largest and most capable militant group in the Palestinian territories and one of the territories' two major political parties.
Yesterday Israel dropped very many pamphlets telling civilians in, a nearly flattened city, Gaza to flee north. Just flee. Where to, only God knows.
For the first time in years, Israeli forces will have to penetrate deep into Gaza, a coastal enclave where thousands of Hamas militants operate out of an underground network of tunnels, while also hiding among civilians.
So far only Hamas is at war with Israel but what happens when Hezbollah joins in against Israel?
Who is Hezbollah?
Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim political party and militant group based in Lebanon, where its extensive security apparatus, political organization, and social services network fostered its reputation as “a state within a state.” Founded in the chaos of the fifteen-year Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-backed group is driven by its opposition to Israel and its resistance to Western influence in the Middle East.
How powerful is Hezbollah?
Hezbollah wields significant power in Lebanon, where it operates as both a Shiite political party and militant group.
It opposes Israel and Western powers operating in the Middle East, and it functions as a proxy of Iran, its largest benefactor.
The group has faced unprecedented scrutiny from the Lebanese public amid the country’s political and economic crisis.
Nowadays, it has precision guided missiles. In addition to potentially bringing more sophisticated weaponry and fighters into the current conflict, Hezbollah's intervention could rope in other parties, too. Hezbollah is part of a coalition of Iran-backed fighters who are still stationed in Syria.
I say when Hezbollah enters the war then we need to be even more afraid.
My thoughts are that Israel will begin the ground offensive very soon, either tomorrow or the next day.
God be with the GENUINE innocent.
