Our Arab brothers have either suddenly developed a soft spot for Israel or are resigned to their fate, that is, to lose half of KSA, the whole of Jordan, sizeable chunks of Syria and Egypt to the “Greater Israel” project now in the making, says Nethanyahu.

Expelling the inhabitants from occupied territory to make way for the conquerors’ own citizens/settlers is a war crime which the Israelis have proudly announced they intend to commit. Wah!

So starved for praise is Modi that he cherishes and reposts greetings from a war criminal— Nathanyahu. It’s a new low to which India has sunk. But then N and Modi deserve each other. As for those Arabs trying to befriend the two war criminals, Weep for them.

Israel is shooting at those distributing food aid, including UN employees. How can a UN member state fire at UN employees of another member state distributing aid on behalf of the UN. That’s surely murder.

Cloudbursts are common in the tropics. In Jakarta, they are a regular feature. And yet two inches of rain in a day hardly disturbs traffic, let alone make the roads impassable. So why not here? Simple, repairs are a gold mine for the corrupt.

Electricity, gas and water bills for a family of 3 in London UK costs less than the same facility in DHA”, Karachi. Shows how ludicrously expensive living is in Karachi; and why, at current utility rates, Pak cannot prosper/dream of prosperity.

Paks go abroad in droves to find jobs as jobs are deficient at home. So do many from India, BD, Philippines, Ethiopia, etc. But while others do so reluctantly and sadly, we do so joyfully. What is more Govt seems delighted to see them off.

Satanyahu had Trump’s support to do as he likes in Gaza. But so horrendous was the extent of the killing that Trump is being forced to withdraw the carte blanche. Too late. America, is as an accomplice.

Wonder why no one has as yet taken a poll to ascertain where the American public stands on Israel. Do they fear the majority of Americans now oppose the war? And making that public would be politically devastating.

Floods have directly contributed to wars, dismemberment and soon(?) another war. On the other hand, China has tamed nature and exploited its power potential while Holland has recovered half of its country from the sea.

India’s sole, unique and malignant contribution to flood control has been to demonstrate the weaponisation of water by letting water accumulate in Indian dams and then to release it, without warning, in one go, to cause max damage downstream.

The US role in achieving a ‘pause’ during the recent Pak India fracas has been much debated. But no one has any doubt that had Trump not intervened neither side would have sued for peace. And, hence, Trump’s participant did make a key difference.

As Trump’s initiative in the Pak-India clash was for the good why did Modi have to make a song and dance over the fact that it was not he who was suing for peace? Only one reason, Modi is foolish. And, as we know, the foolish can never become wise.

About the nicest thing Xi once said about Modi was that he is unbearable. Now, with Modi grovelling before him at Shanghai craving acceptance he’s having to pretend Modi is tolerable.

Remarkable how dismissive Trump was of India, he treated India much like a petulant senior would treat an errant teenager. There are many lessons in it for others, viz for the US neither pride nor self respect count. Do or you will be done (for).

Quite extraordinary how much praise we lavish on China’s progress and prosperity, all of it well deserved, but do nothing to emulate China’s example. Can’t think of a single measure we have undertaken, in any field, that wd suggest we intend to follow suit.

Unconfirmed reports suggest ‘brotherly’ Afg has granted India land in the Wakhan Corridor for the construction of two air bases. This new provocation is in addition to Afg condoning TTP’s use of Afg space to attack Pak. Such ‘brotherly’ love is suffocating.

Our politicians surely have the gift of grab. That’s the only explanation for the missing crores set aside for dams by a former CJ.
