A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

JUST A THOUGHT - THE WORLD REACTIONS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RECOGNITION OF JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL. PART 3.
That it is not treating them as it would wish for its Jewish population to be treated, had they been in the place of the Palestinians, is clear.
Which is and is not surprising, for a State that is never tired of citing as embodying the difference between it and the Arab and Iranian countries it shares the Middle East with.
It is all about the efficient and effective use of brute force and propaganda.
If it is one thing the Palestinian people have had too much of, it is words and talk about negotiations about making peace with Israel.
What has been missing has been the absence of sufficient effective action to bring about peace.
The action which we have seen an excess of is that intended to kill, maim and destroy both lives, livelihoods and property.
And this takes me back to the world's reaction to President Trump's decision to give Benjamin Netanyahu probably the best Christmas present he could have anticipated.
The recognition of Jerusalem as the the capital of the Jewish State.
This is an affront to, not only the Palestinians, but to the Muslims people of the world in general.
There has not been any peace in Palestine for the past 70 years, so, why would America's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, make it more difficult to achieve peace?
After all, there is nothing to really suggest that there is going to be any peace. As opposed to the absence of continuous war?
The status quo has been that of 'no constant war and no constant peace.'
A situation which the Americans and the European seem to have accepted as being acceptable. Even if it is quite regularly disrupted by Israel's use of massive and disproportionate military force.
To respond to desperate, but suicidal attacks from Palestinian militants and individuals, who have had enough of Israel's gradual but relentless grinding of the Palestinians into the dust.
Muslims are outraged by President Trump's recognition of Israel's desire to make Jerusalem its internationally recognised capital.
Because of its symbolic importance to Islam. Of course, Jerusalem is also of symbolic importance to both Jews and Christians.
To be continued.
