When The Wind Blows

Over Gaza and The Lebanon
and other neighbours of Israel,
as Israel starts the third world war,
using the lethally over-developed modern weaponry
and state security apparatus it has developed
over seventy years, for spying internationally
on countries it secretly despises. Their first target is
the levelling to the ground of all the buildings
and the civilisation among Israel's neighbours.

The fallout does not need to be nuclear to be utterly destructive.

All the weapons need is a human/Jewish driver
 to do the job the weapons are for - destroying 
all neighbourliness and upholding an eternal enmity
whilst continually talking in smooth words.

In party politics, worldwide, it has been said,
'keep your friends close and your enemies closer',
without finishing with 'If you want a limited peace.'.
(It would be rhetorical to say peace is always limited.).
Nowhere was evidence of this strategy for politics
more played out than in the densely populated areas
that modern Israel has fought for its place in.

Lebanon, Palestine, Gaza, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt,
are all lands that have never had the character to be at ease
with each other. Like the Ottoman empire they were all once part of,
they had to be ruled by 'strongmen', where diplomacy
is always weak and late, when it is staving off emergencies.

To quote a once popular Jewish entertainer* 'You ain't seen nothing yet',
not that he was directly talking about the time scales of declining empires. 



*Said by Al Jolson at the end of in the first film
with a soundtrack 'The Jazz Singer', made in 1927.
