For the sake of freedom we must kill and be killed and then we are called the 'Glorious Dead'.
Only by killing and being killed can we lay down our lives for our friends and be called 'Glorious' in the annual Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph.
Do you have the guts to resist warfare and to renounce our 80 years of weapons manufacturing to enable the slaughter to continue in the unHoly Land? If so, you will be called a loonie leftie or a Communist or a "cheese-eating surrender monkey".
Our soldiers so love their wars they play them down as 'conflicts'. These deluded aggressors think it brings a just peace and freedom for their side. It leads to revenge as we saw from 1919 to 1945.
Our war mongers forget that the irrational, foolish 1914 World War, was encouraged by the winner in the year 2000 of 'The Greatest Briton Who Ever Lived' contest on TV. The '14 War led to the '39 War. That led to the Cold War, with many more millions slaughtered by our Judeo-Christian Western weapons in the Far East, Middle East and our Western-backed coups in South America.
All these catastrophes by the fine, upstanding, freedom-loving, Democratic nations. Our democracies excuse warfare and the horrors WE bring to people, like Palestinians. We may never give them their land back but at least we can end the export of everything military to Israel and to so many other countries to fuel war.
Palestine is now Israel which is our great friend, ally and part of the all-dominating, domineering, warring West. Can Israel ever transition to a multi-faith, multi-cultural, truly international and inclusive State of many peoples? That seems unlikely as the world's only Jewish state with Jews alone in control. Can the Jews/Christians ever be able to share the land with Muslims and other faiths? Religion is part of the problem when it should be part of the solution.
Remember - "Lest we forget" to wage War to bring our Freedom and Democracy throughout the world. And end up like Israel - the epitomy of everything unfortunate and different from the life and teaching of the man who walked over their ground 2,000 years ago.
