Friends, Reuters carried two articles this morning concerning Israel’s plans to bomb Iran, perhaps even with nukes.

These articles made disturbing reading especially the one that posed the various scenarios that might eventuate from such an attack. Such scenarios range from Iran doing nothing following the attack (surely very unlikely) to the whole of the Middle East going up in flames. I guess the major conclusion that is evident to me is that, as with roulette, no one knows just what the outcome would be and how far the conflict will spread.

Israel is said to be only going to attack nuclear plants and will endeavor to avoid civilian or oil infrastructure. Isn’t that considerate of them? Doesn’t that warm your heart no end? Given what they did to the Palestinians in Gaza recently,  I take no comfort from that assurance.

The most amazing thing to me is that this tiny, newly-created country, Israel, is, after sixty years, in a position to carry out a military action that could bring the whole world into WW3. And there is one country which is to blame for that and that’s the U.S.

But just as the U.S. is to blame, there is only one country that can stop Israel’s insanity and that too is America. It can, if it wants, simply refuse to send Israel anymore jet fuel, anymore arms, any more funding. It can refuse military assistance to Israel if it goes ahead with this madness. It can refuse to allow Israel to fly over the countries which it occupies.

America can and must stop Israel in its tracks!

It looks pretty and peaceful from a distance, doesn’t it?

Friends, the thought struck me this morning as I perused the world headlines that, if there are other beings in the universe, what would they think if they looked down on planet earth with a strong telescope?

Of course, we on earth  judge everything by our own low standards but others with different values might not be so forgiving or blind. For example, what would they make of the wars in poor countries like Iraq and Afghanistan where people with nothing are being killed by the hundreds of thousands by soldiers from wealthy countries?

Would they be amused by drones buzzing around firing missiles at all and sundry? What would they make of the luxury that a handful of humans enjoy while billions starve? What would they make of the screams coming from places where torture is carried out or the sight of militias hacking off limbs?

What would they make of families where incest occurs and fathers have children to their daughters? What would they make of two men or two women indulging in weird sexual antics and then being allowed to bring up children? What would they think about thousands of nukes that are poised in deep shafts, ready to launch? What would they think about young men raping old ladies or young girls or routinely murdering other males.

What would they think about the environmental destruction caused by multi-national corporations or the pollution in cities and in the oceans? What would they think about the depletion of fish stocks caused by over-fishing and greed? What would they think of global warming and the melting of the icecaps and glaciers and the fact that there has been little or no change in the use of fossil fuels? What would they think about polluting cars which supposedly are a means to get from point A to point B but have been made into an elitist yet deadly status symbol?

The Israeli tanks are back in Gaza. How many Gazans will die this time?

Friends, the killing of two members of the IDF by Gazans (a soldier and an officer) may be a sign that the Palestinians (who also suffered casualties) have realized that talking about their future State with the Israelis and the Americans is going to get them absolutely nothing.

Perhaps they have realized that while the talking goes on, the Israelis are furiously building settlements on what little is left of their land. The Israelis are also evicting Palestinians from their homes every day to make way for more settlements. And the Israelis continue to crush the Gazans and the Palestinians who live in the West Bank to stifle all commerce and hope.

What does all this mean? It means that Israel has no intention of allowing the Palestinians to have their own state and never has had. It means that if the Palestinians are to achieve anything, they’ll have to fight for it.

I have mentioned many times that to achieve anything, Palestinians will have to adopt extreme guerrilla tactics, use any means to attack their occupiers, to weaken them. They did this under the leadership of Arafat and the Israelis were frightened because their military might didn’t count for much because their perceived enemy lived among them and were not easily identifiable.

You may ask why David G the peacemaker is advocating war and killing. Well, it’s because there is no other option that I can see.

There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see!

Friends, it seems from many reports that I have read over the last week that a few Americans are beginning to question the relationship that exists between their country and Israel.

Proof of this can be seen in the fact that when Netanyahu visited the White House to see Obomber, there was no media coverage after the event, no declarations of undying love between America and Israel, no hugs or kisses, nothing! Strange, isn’t it?

Some folk in America are now questioning whether the incestuous relationship between Israel and America is actually causing lots of American military deaths as Muslims, who are incensed by what Israel is doing to the Palestinians with American arms and money, target American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some are questioning whether giving Israel billions of dollars is a profitable way to allocate money that might be better spent on helping Americans survive the chaos that currently is the American Dream.

The question I would ask is: how come it’s taken so long for the penny to drop? How come American leaders have refused to see what anyone with half a brain could see?

Friends, I urge you to look carefully at these two photographs, especially at the eyes and the mouths and the silver hair. Do you see a clear resemblance? I do!

Now look, I’m not wanting to insult Titus who, until his death, was the leader of a group of mountain gorillas in Rawanda, one made famous by Dian Fossey. This group was studied by her and various scientists over a thirty year period and many things were discovered about gorilla society, things that show a remarkable similarity between gorillas and humans regarding behaviour.

I saw a documentary about Titus on Sunday. It was instructive. I kept seeing disconcerting similarities. It might have been the wine though I think not. Titus, unusually, managed to form a group even though, in the beginning, he was an orphan. First he joined with some other males, seven in all, and they engaged in homosexual activities. As with humans, it was the case of any port in a storm.

Eventually some females were attracted by the gay bachelors and suddenly the male’s behaviour changed. To cut a long story short, their homosexuality was discarded and they fought each other for mating rights. Nature prevailed as it usually does in the real world.

The Killing Fields of Gaza and the West Bank.

This Palestinian child has never known freedom. Neither have her

parents or her grandparents!

Friends, over the past months, I guess what with my health problems (and those of others), Dangerous Creation has moved off course somewhat and this is reflected in some of the comments. It’s time to alter direction and get back to strongly targeting those issues which make our world such a difficult place in which to live if not for ourselves then for others.

This morning the Reuters headlines were screaming about the four Palestinians killed by the IDF over the weekend: one boy of sixteen, one boy of seventeen and two youths of nineteen. Somehow they were shot dead in spite of the claim by Israel they were only using rubber bullets.

Yes, the killing machine that is the IDF is back in town, the lies flow thick and fast, and the Israeli butchers are doing what they love most: killing defenseless Palestinians (see above).

The picture in the Middle East is somewhat confused at the moment. The Quartet in Europe are trying to put pressure on the Israelis. The U.N. is trying to put pressure on the Israelis (they are visiting Gaza). The Obama Administration is trying to put pressure on the Israelis (at least, they pretend they are). And Benny, who makes Sharon look like a spinster Sunday School teacher, is in Washington to engage in more time-wasting talks.

The result of all this pressure? As they’ve done for sixty years, the Israeli Jews act as if they are the only nation in the world that has rights. They ignore all pressures, threats, condemnations, U.N. Resolutions, International Laws and continue with their land stealing, genocide and brutality.

The Palestinians, rightfully getting angered by Israel’s continuing intransigence, are protesting and the Israeli Jews, predictably, bring out the big guns and the killing has begun again.

Friends, having thought further about things, I’ve decided to start up my old blog Seeking Utopia again, at least the later, more peace-inducing aspects of it ( which began on March 24, 2008 but hasn’t had much attention since).

The reason? I guess, for some time, I’ve been trying to mix controversy and tranquility on Dangerous Creation and perhaps, like oil and water, they don’t mix that well.

This means that, for the time of the trial, Dangerous Creation will be for dealing with nasty, contentious world issues and Seeking Utopia will provide a retreat for those who are sick of the world and want to immerse themselves in niceness, in beauty, in harmony, in peace for a time.

I hope you like the change and I trust that it won’t confuse you. I’ve put a link to Seeking Utopia in my Special Links and in the side bar. Importantly, there is a link on Seeking Utopia which will bring you back to Dangerous Creation so you can easily move backwards and forwards between the two blogs depending on your mood or need.

We’ll see how we go! Your feedback is always appreciated.

P.S. On Seeking Utopia, originally I called myself Daniel (to protect my identity and that of my family) so if you see that name in the old archives,  just think to yourself: Daniel is now David (which is also a pseudonym)!  

P.P.S. I’ve got broadband now so running two blogs will not be so difficult!

Friends, when I first started Dangerous Creation, I was filled with a strong drive to try to change the world, at least a little bit of it.

I used whatever writing skills I had to attack some of the things that were making the world such a difficult place: things like religion, capitalism, the Israeli occupation, the failure of democracy, the income inequality in most nations, greed…you name it, I attacked them all with much huffing and puffing.

This morning I did my normal rounds of the internet sites, you know, ICH, Common Dreams, Info-Wars, Al Jazeera, etc, looking for an issue to write about. Bewildered, I just looked at the scores of headlines and the little blurb that accompanied each one. It was a depressing read, full of dire predictions of wars, economic collapses, loss of human rights, etc, same as it was before DC started, no, much worse!

Suddenly, the world seemed very big and threatening and I seemed very small and completely impotent. It occurred to me that all my impassioned words and arguments had achieved nothing.

“Why are you three huddled together?”

“We just heard our human cousins can blow up the whole world, kill everything!”

“Of course. They’re more intelligent than us.”

“What’s intelligent?”

“Must be when you can destroy everything!”

“But won’t they be blown up too?”

“Yeah. But they believe they’ll go to heaven.”

“What’s heaven?”

“Mmmmmm…endless bunches of ripe bananas perhaps?”

Seek peace and beauty in nature’s scene,

And avoid where humans strut and preen,

For their behavior is insufferable and mean.
