The "Centrality Thesis" in today's news
The "Centrality Thesis" in today's news
This piece is yet another brick in the documentation edifice designed to show how absurd the "Centrality Thesis" is (according to this thesis, the Israel/Arab conflict is at the root of all the troubles "the world" encounters; hence, if "the world" squeezes more and more concessions from Israel until she suffocates, all the world troubles will disappear).
Please review the five news items below, all from today's [2005_03_19] headlines - which of these would have been averted by the destruction of Israel?
AP, 2005_03_19: Pakistan Explosion Kills 27, Injures 18
AP, 2005_03_19: Militants Kill 5 Police Officers in Iraq
Reuters, 2005_03_19:
Lebanon's anti-Syrian opposition dismissed the president's call for talks on Saturday, deepening political divisions hours after a bomb raised fresh fears of a return to the country's violent past.
Investigators sifted through the rubble left by the blast, which wounded 11 people and gutted the ground and first floors of a residential block in a Christian suburb of eastern Beirut.
AP, 2005_03_19:
The government of President Robert Mugabe has hand-picked observers for Zimbabwe's upcoming parliamentary vote in what critics call a shallow and transparent attempt to restore legitimacy to the country's discredited democracy.
It has systematically barred observer missions from countries and groups that said elections in 2000 and 2002 were flawed and probably stolen by Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party amid massive vote-rigging and state-sponsored violence and intimidation.
AP, 2005_03_19:
Muslims in the Middle East on Saturday angrily denounced a mixed-gender Islamic prayer service led by a woman in New York as a violation of their religion.
The latter item, in particular, should be noted. The Moslems in question truly believe that they can dictate to the US how Moslem rituals should be performed in the US! The chutzpah that these people have!!
