The Bransons of This World

To tell the truth I really got tired of the Richard Bransons of this world.
Once every few years they come to the middle east, shoot some Photo ops with Shimon Peress and start selling their one dollar merchandize, and it goes like this:

First We will help boost the Palestinian economy (surly this will make them a peaceful bunch).
Second Israel must return to 1967 borders - and all the problems of the region shall be solved.

And why do I think this stuff is BS, Lets start from the second argument,
If 1967 borders where such a good platform for a long lasting peace then why did the arabs use them as a platform for war till 1967 ? why didn't they sign a peace contract then?

Further more after Israel left Gaza the Palestinians democratically elected the hamas movement which does not recognize the right of Israel to exist. The hamas is the only democratically elected ruler in the arab world and no doubt it portrays the true wishes of the Palestinians.

So Sir Richard Branson is entitled to invest or donate to establish a strong Palestinian economy, BUT the minuet Israel redraws from Judea and Sumeria it all becomes hamas property and they have goals much higher in their priority ladder rather then the welfare of the Palestinian people.


Enough said for today,  see ya all soon.
