Worlds worst Neighbourhood!

Reader comment on item: Israel's Predicament at 60: World's worst neighbourhood
in response to reader comment: But Why

Submitted by Fred Inglis (Australia), Jun 2, 2008 at 19:16

Dear Joe

One should always be on their guard against people of ill will toward us. I have here in Australia people who wish me well and those that don't. Now of those that don't, many off them are "whities" some are otherwise. I was born in Scotland.

Good neighbours. The Britishin China doling out Opium to the Chinese citizens so as to subdue them for trade reasons "The Opium Wars' The British and the American [U.S.A.] dealings in the slave trade, christ said "Let him that is without sin [fault] cast the first stone.

Now I am against all forms of violence physically or otherwise. I oppose all types of violence with words and the words I use are not words that incite violence in other people.

The wording in your response can do nothing but incite violence in your society.

But then I find allthough I oppose violence I find that there are times I have to engage in violence to protect myself and my society, but I do not initiate violence by being violent.

Fred
