Is peace possible? (with Hamas)

 My latest article in The Spectator addresses the question "Is Peace Possible with Hamas?"

I open by saying that
"Such hope is naïve because the evidence is that while an end to the fighting may be possible with the Palestinian people, long-term peace with Hamas is near impossible."

I then argue that "

Since its origins, Hamas has thus been ideologically opposed to peace with Israel. The organisation’s goal is to maintain the armed struggle until Israel is annihilated utterly. Instead of being open to a two-state solution, Hamas wants a one-state solution – a theocracy extending ‘from the River to the Sea’. This practically means eliminating Jewish people and raising ‘the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine’.

The fanatical religious nature of Hamas means that while we could hope for peace between Israel and most Palestinian people, there can never be long-lasting peace with Hamas. "


I conclude by writing that "While peace may be possible with most Palestinians, it is most likely not possible with Hamas. Israel is a liberal democracy with the best interests of its people at heart. Hamas – the Islamic Resistance Movement, is a genocidal death cult that will sacrifice as many of its own people as needed to exterminate the Jewish people."

New Gun Laws Will Impact Freedom of Speech and Thought

Free speech and freedom of thought are at the bedrock of our democratic society, so it is outrageous that the Bill could challenge them.   " The Firearms Bill 2024 before Western Australia’s (WA) state Parliament is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that will violate the rights of all citizens. The Bill will effectively legislate away a person’s right to silence, and their property rights. It presumes guilt by association, discriminates on the basis of health or disability, and challenges the right to free speech and freedom of opinion. " "... the Firearms Bill’s Section 368 threatens any person with a fine if they do not “answer any question asked by a police officer under this Act.. this applies to all people, not only firearms owners, and would therefore, strip them of their right to silence. " " Section 150 allows the WA police commissioner to have regard to “the person’s views, opinions and attitudes. Free speech and freedom of thought are at the bedrock of ou...

"Pharisees of the New Age: Environmentalists and How They Went Wrong."

 I have written a piece for the Dawson Centre, titled,  Pharisees of the New Age:  Environmentalists and How They Went Wrong.  It's in the centre's newsletter (about 1/2 way down the page). I wrote it after it struck me that both the environmental and Pharisee movements started out with good intentions but they became corrupted and they neglected their original mission. https://www.dawsoncentre.org/newsletter/summer-schools-2023/
