Boris is managing 2 out of 3 Churchill memetic visuals: Physiognomy of an alcohol abuser and screwing up the first phase of a war on the continent badly...
2 out of 3 ain't bad, according to the artist formerly known as Meatloaf? The rest of us might wish for "good".
Unfortunately, who the Victor is in the Middle East is hard to predict. The road to victory is usually hard-won. Note that USSR in 1941 was barely able to survive the German onslaught despite its fairly advanced military technology, numbers, and heritage in military thinking. It would be even more difficult for the people of MIddle East, including some peace-loving Jews in Israel, to take the upper hand in the struggle.
Perhaps the message to Boris is, does the suffering of Jews in Europe during WWII, when tens of millions of people suffered and died, most of them non-Jews, nearly a century ago, justify Jews doing to Christians and Muslims in Palestine what was done to some of them, if not worse?
If the followers of Judaism were targeted by the Nazis, and we know that they were, that is a crime, but no greater crime than the targeting of Gypsies for their culture/race, and they died at per capita rates far higher than the Jews, or the Slavs, targeted for their race who died in the tens of millions.
Mr Johnson, are you saying that followers of Judaism, all of them, have a right to eternal revenge against anyone they choose, including the native people of the land they have colonised?
Are you saying all the other deaths count for nothing and as many Israelis believe, the death of a Jew is far greater than the death of a non-Jew?
That hardly seems to abide by principles of justice, rule of law, democracy, human rights or common human decency. How can you promote such bigotry?
Totally understand your view and frustration. Unfortunately, you might have to wait for the realization of the Gospel of Matthew 26: 52, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
I respect the best bits of all religions but I follow none. Neither am I sure that tribal platitudes from thousands of years ago are truly relevant in this world.
I realise there are no time-frames for such ends but plenty of nations have been founded by the sword and they did not perish. In fact by such a criteria all humans are doomed.
Lovely.... soon however, "the cries at Jallianwala Bagh, the tears of Setif and Guelma, the moans in Rawagede," the blood streams of Gazans, the limbs of the Congolese, and many many more will be taught in the history books..
Listen to the screams of Leopold's ghost
Burning in Hell for his hand maimed host
Hear how the demons chuckle and yell
Cutting his hands off, down in hell

What's the third memetic visual? Thanks.

VE Day.
I doubt Boris would share the third one, then. But time will tell.

Thank you for your appreciation. Please share with your loved ones.
