Chroniclers are privileged to enter where they list, to come and go through keyholes, to ride upon the wind, to overcome in their soarings up and down, all obstacles of distance, time and place.

Words of consolation when we must grieve for a dead child

Recent events in Belgium and Australia have sickened every sane parent whose greatest fear is that something would happen to a child of his or hers.

I personally find it very very difficult to face the awful fact that there are people in this world who would hurt, indeed murder, a child. The modern approach is to allude to some sort of psychological warping on the part of the perpetrators of such heinous deeds to explain their actions.

Reactions to my Boycott Israel Blog

Understandably, my Boycott Israel blog (see below) provoked a big response. A lot of people who know me personally tend to mail me directly rather than posting onto Cic Saor.

So as to avoid a dialogue of the deaf, where both sides just have their own position and never consider the conflicting views of others, I am publishing two negative comments and one which supports what I said. None of the contributors wanted to be identified so I quote them anonymously:

I cannot agree with the proposal (of a boycott of Israel) no matter that I find what is going on in Gaza repulsive. In the Netherlands, Muslim youth are going on the streets shouting for Hitler and calling for Jews to be gassed. Similar shit was being shouted at the demonstration in Manchester a couple of weeks ago.
