The State of Palestine has no right to exist

If it did have the right to exist , then it would exist

Israel will not allow it

The USA waged war and killed thousands to earn the right to exist

And here we are

The last question, what does it say about religion ?

The Last Question by Isaac Asimov © 1956


The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, and it happened this way:
Alexander Adell and Bertram Lupov were two of the faithful attendants of Multivac. As well as any human beings could, they knew what lay behind the cold, clicking, flashing face -- miles and miles of face -- of that giant computer. They had at least a vague notion of the general plan of relays and circuits that had long since grown past the point where any single human could possibly have a firm grasp of the whole.

Multivac was self-adjusting and self-correcting. It had to be, for nothing human could adjust and correct it quickly enough or even adequately enough -- so Adell and Lupov attended the monstrous giant only lightly and superficially, yet as well as any men could. They fed it data, adjusted questions to its needs and translated the answers that were issued. Certainly they, and all others like them, were fully entitled to share In the glory that was Multivac's.

For decades, Multivac had helped design the ships and plot the trajectories that enabled man to reach the Moon, Mars, and Venus, but past that, Earth's poor resources could not support the ships. Too much energy was needed for the long trips. Earth exploited its coal and uranium with increasing efficiency, but there was only so much of both.....

If we all agree that the shootdown of MH 17 was a mistake

Then what else is there to talk about ?

The United States has shot down a civilian aircraft by mistake, and if there would've been sanctions against us Americans would've been outraged by it

The Israelis attacked the USS liberty by "mistake" , killing a few dozen Americans.... If there would've been sanctions placed on Israel the United States would've been outraged by it

The United States pulled Saddam Hussein off of the list of states who sponsored terrorism, just so we can arm him to kill his own people, of course if sanctions were placed on the United States we would've been outraged by it

The United States has a long long history of arming rebel forces that killed innocent people, and Americans were never held accountable for it

Now we see that Russia has armed rebels who have mistakenly shot down a civilian aircraft, and the world is outraged

It's become very clear that the world is not concerned about murdered people, they are only concerned about who murders the people
