I'm all for rational debate, but when the emotions overrule the preparedness to listen, rational debate becomes ... difficult.

The Israel vs Hamas debate has a high emotional content on both sides which doesn't actually facilitate the exchange of ideas and arguments in reasoned debate, because the protagonists are far more focused on making their own points than on listening to their opponents points and forming rational responses.

Surely this is why we have rules of debate in parliaments and in the United Nations that focus on allowing each in turn to have their say, uninterrupted.

When reporters take sides and become emotionally driven protagonists in the debate, journalism suffers. If their audience is to have a fair chance to calmly weigh the pros and cons presented by each side, then they need to conduct themselves to favour rational debate over and above the need to score points for "their team".

Still, full marks to Avi for publishing this debate, as far as it goes, on YouTube.

In terms of the actual debate, much hinges on whether Israel has the right to firstly self defence, and secondly, if so, is its response justified?

Both points are contentious. Many will and do reflexively concede the first and argue the second, because everyone has the right to defend themselves, right? And the Hamas attack was an act of terrorism, right? So the answer is clear - but - are matters really so simple?

Scott Ritter thinks differently, and explains exactly why he thinks it (albeit also rather over-emotionally - but his arguments bear hearing, and I suggest watching right to the end). 

We are not talking here of our personal feelings or even personal conduct, we are talking of the international consensus on the rules of acceptable / "lawful" conduct in war. In this case, the history goes back at least 75 years, and takes some unravelling.

As always, it's our viewpoints that count, but we should check out both sides of the debate before making up our minds. World War 3 may depend upon our decisions.

... they're Not Big Enough!

Thus spake the narrator (not sure who!) of this video for the Awareness Foundation, introducing the Republic of England. 

The said Republic I find difficult to understand, since they don't seem to have any short sharp videos or articles that I can feature, so this video, albeit 2 hours in length, will have to suffice.

There are others from alternative channels to which I have also provided links (also over one hour long! but this one is only 10 minutes - the other extreme really) , so you can take your pick.

"Too simple!" I hear you cry ...  but the best ideas are simple (although why we should exclude the Scots Welsh and Northern Irish isn't clear, and he does get somewhat distracted with the existing legal niceties around the current non-status of "England". It's all interesting, but is rather looking backward rather than forward).

Anyway, enough of my cavilling - on with the show!

I suggest to skip the first 13½ minutes, because the audio quality of the introductory section is ... shall we say "inadequate". I found it off-putting without providing any relevant information, and the whole thing is too long anyway. Do not fear, the rest of the audio is just fine. 

Highly recommended.

None of this is guaranteed, but it is from independent analysts well-versed in such matters.

And it has been very usefully edited down from the original (much longer!) presentation to retain the substance for those of us who are 'time poor'.

"What happens if Bank of America fails?"

" ... Bank of America is bigger than all three of them combined ... "

This is not financial advice.

With knee-jerk pronouncements from those who should know better coming thick and fast this Remembrance weekend, we can be sure that the headlines tell us nothing we can trust about the situation on the ground. Even the video footage can be faked, and reportage from those with axes to grind is unlikely to reflect any underlying truth in the round.

Nuanced discussion of  complex situations is notable primarily in its absence, yet an accurate understanding doesn't come naturally from headlines and soundbites (especially given the interests controlling virtually all the western world's media companies).

So we are grateful to Zerohedge for finding and publishing an almost impossibly difficult attempt to sort the narratives into some semblance of logical structure. I've no idea how close they come to the truth, except to say that I have found no better.

Worth reading.
