Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Fix Plunging Ringgit & Food Shortage – Anwar Should Stop Wasting People’s Money On Radicalization & Terrorism
Thursday, October 19, 2023
Finance Twitter : We understood why Prime Minister Anwar
Ibrahim scrambled to become the first Malay Muslim leader in Malaysia to
express support for the Palestinian in the wake of
Israel’s retaliation against Hamas terrorism.
He was extremely proud and
happy that he had beaten religious extremist Hadi Awang in the race,
never mind it was Hamas who started the latest conflict.
The
narcissist also bragged about how he had a phone call with the Hamas
terrorist. He lectured the world about the oppression of the Palestinian
people, and called for a ceasefire. While condemning Israeli “apartheid
administration”, Anwar has forgotten that his own country also
practices apartheid and discrimination against minorities ethnic Chinese and Indian.
Conveniently ignoring the fact that Hamas had kidnapped – even
slaughtered – women, children and even babies, Anwar was incredibly
hungry for global attentionas
a Muslim leader. He wanted to be as vocal and popular as former premier
Mahathir Mohamad, whose legacy as Malaysia’s longest serving prime
minister (1981-2003) included his anti-Semitic and anti-Western
speeches.
Domestically, the 10th Prime Minister hoped his anti-Jews
rhetoric could win the support of Malay Muslim voters, about 80% of
whom did not vote for him. Malaysia, where about 60% of the population
are Muslims, is a strong supporter of Palestinian rights largely thanks
to previous Mahathir government-controlled news media that trumpeted
Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.
Therefore, the latest conflict in the Middle East provides a golden opportunity for Anwar to promote himself as a Muslim hero.He
argued that because the Zionists had confiscated land and property
belonging to the Palestinian people, it was justifiable for Hamas to
butcher unarmed and innocent Jewish people. Trying to score political
mileage, he also criticised the international community who supports
Israel.
As expected, Middle East also saw some Muslim leaders reluctantly
expressed their support for the Palestinians. They had to show their
displeasure, or at least pretend to be angry, at
Israel’s bombardment of Gaza as the conflict is seen as a war between
Muslim and non-Muslim. While the Arabs rushed humanitarian aid to the
Palestine, none has offered troops to defend Gaza and Palestinians.
Despite the Arab League’s 3-million active military personnel and US$180 billion
military expenditure, which is 10 times more than Israel’s US$18
billion, Saudi and its allies were not interested to fight Israel, let
alone help the Palestinians. In fact, Saudi does not give a damn about
the Gaza Strip as long as Israel fights the Shia-Muslims led by Iran,
along with proxies like Hamas.
Had the Arab states genuinely wanted to help their Palestinian brothers, they would have offered land and money
ages ago instead of letting them suffered in the Gaza Strip – widely
compared to an “open-air prison”. In fact, Egypt has rejected the United
State’s proposal to establish corridors for civilians – suggesting that
even Cairo does not welcome the Palestinians.
Is it true that Palestinian land had been illegally seized by Israel? Perhaps Anwar should read about the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War
and the birth of international terrorism. Yes, everything started after
the Six-Day War or the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, otherwise known as the
Third Arab–Israeli War, which was fought between 5 and 10 June 1967 by
Israel and the neighbouring states of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.
Before 1967, the 6.5-million minority Jews were forbiddenfrom
praying at the Western Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, because the Jewish
areas had been colonized – militarily – by Arabs following the
1948 Israel’s War of Independence, which would lead to the 1948
Arab-Israeli War – also known as the First Arab-Israeli War. Actually,
the Arab Muslims, not Israel, were responsible for all the Palestinians’
problem today.
During
the 20-year Arab occupation, the Jews could not live in the Jewish
Quarter of Jerusalem, where their ancestors had built homes for
thousands of years. They were forbidden from attending classes at the
Hebrew University at Mt. Scopus. Heck, they could not even seek medical
care at the Hadassah Hospital there. So, it was the Jews who had been oppressed and expelled from their home.
Here’s what happened – on 15 May, 1948, a joint force of Egypt,
Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Saudi Arabia attacked Israeli
forces and Jewish settlements. When the Jordanian, then
the strongest force of all, occupied the historic Jewish sites, they
destroyed whatever leftovers of Judaism – including schools and
cemetery. Guess what the Muslim world and the United Nations had done.
