The problems with the concept of Israeli reunification (ie annexation of Palestine)
1) Many Kibbutzs (settlements) are still on post 1967 occupied territory in the West Bank and are at peace with their Palestinian neighbours under quasi legal status (technically illegal but interdependent with their neighbours.
2) If any remain within the West Bank or the border is redrawn under international agr...eement. I suggest Desmond Tutu could work with Blair on this one or allow a Third world figure or someone with IMF experience to ensure that it is not former crusader kingdom centric world view.
3) This would require a Paelestinian state that respects all faith minorities in it s legislative assembly, similar to Israel and the Senates of many Commonwealth countries)
4) Psalm 23 when used by warriors is bollocks, there are better passages that suggest peaceful reconciliation. Let there be no Massadas like in AD70 when the Romans tried to drive people out by force and the settlements were either slaugfhtered in the Kidron or committed suicide within their fortresses. It is the first holocaust in my opinion.
5) As such the best option is to agree a peace conference and call a ceasefire in Syria
6) There needs to be regional mutual defence pact including Israel and Iran co-operating with each other on complete nuclear disarmament and civilian fuel production for civilian reactors, both under international auspices to ensure that no side or future state such as Iraq or Saudi can cheat and supply weapons (in case a member of the Bin Laden family or Wahibbi wants to get their own back for Osama Bin ladens assassination.
7) Golan would be the pacts home base and training centre as its status would otherwise be too contentious in international peace talks regarding ending the civil war in Syria.

The church of england is not heading in a direction I can agree with though it is being done lawfully through synod in accordance with the synods of other Anglican churches. I am there fore converting to Orthodox christianity or Unitd Synagoguge Judaism for ordination or vocational work and language training if allowed for work overseas as Ich bin untermenchen having been sectioned when applying f...or SIS in the past and I now know and disagree with the historic methods of teh UK wafffen (MI5).
The issues I disagree with:
women in the episcopate as it goes against the last supper as retold for two millennia
gay and lesbian clergy and cicil partnerships within places of worship.
usuary both absolute and relative practiced gloablly as a form of population control
TO conclude we are more than the sum of our upbringing and learning
I don't like other churhces but have sympathy with the ordinariate and roman catholic churches in Uxbridge.
Under equal opps law I would like to volunteer at St Pauls Cthedral as I would like to be a tour guide there and they celebrate the Eucharist, if they consecrate a female bish I quit and get myself admitted to a psychiatric hospital for failing to earn a living as a son of a freeman of city of London(yes those codes exist and form the basis of modern civil and income law though apply to everyone not just bankers). Plus they celebrate the Eucharist and some fo teh feamle clergy are my age and marryable unless they want teh episcopate for themselves.
I've failed to stop the production of score group photography that is illegal (18eighteen.com) anyone who sees or gets it or anything like it should send it to teh IWF (Internetatch foundation and the child exploitation and online protectiona agency). Again ich bin untermenchen
I am only on state benefits and want that to be the case ad infinitum till I get assisted suicide for the above opinions as they are against the head of this countries faith Elizabeth our governor.

how to stop and limit arms suppliers
So what is sovereign debt restructuring?
Mr James Ware
Disclaimer: This is polemical personal understanding having studied and listened to radio 4 FM (BBC) with no TV and only satellite TV in the public library, and needs researching.
1) C...oncept:
Sovereign debt is the amount each country owes other countries, its overspend from tax receipts, and prior to Gleneagles global multinational banks that helped fund both sides in the Cold War, the old saying money is a weapon of war. At the time though the Soviets deposits used open funding through their Politburo and majority country (RSFSR) funds from economic development zones to cross subsidise international development zones such as the Warsaw pact and through hearts and minds winning exercises to fund marxist post colonial governments
Though in some instances aid created unplanned international development in unsustainable ways, such as Idi Amins 6 lane highways for farmers lorries in underdeveloped areas where population didn’t require that, this is what combined with the rule of law, helped to stop police state reprisals, though the soviets did so themselves prior to Glasnost in their own country (Solzhenistzin and the Chechens in Stalins Gulags)
Soviet background to the Concept
The Soviet Union was made up of fifteen states at the UN, and its Russian seat was occupied by the federal government (USSR), hence as part of post 1989 reforms of world governance the RSFSR government which was used as the aid agency for much of this aid, using tax receipts from its economic zones as Konigsburg / Kaliningrad and St Petersburg amongst others, got the federal seat and the CIS became the advisory observer like the UK Commonwealth. However when grain crops failed and were overdeveloped, these funds reduced unplanned forcing illegal activities such as people trafficking, drugs smuggling and the like by client states and revolutionary guerrilla forces on both sides in Latin America.
USA background to the concept
As a 50 state federal country with outlying territory in the Carribean (the US Caymans amongst others) the United States of America funded development projects similarly but through credit loans and international firms paid living wages to reduce exploitation and as part of capitalism education. However with the 1970s devaluation of the dollar owing to Vietnam war debts, interest on these loans went up, creating the problems resolved in part at Gleneagles for the developed worlds poorest countries. Though where states are part of regional co-operation bodies, the ‘middle earner’ states have got a form of IMF / World Bank QE, interest rate loan reduction and similar measures so that they, like Spain can invest in properly advised aid development so as not to overdevelop like China and parts of India helped by the late Mother Theresa. Her aid used funds from all sources though that had unsustainable blips owing to the lack of contraception in Calcutta amongst other factors.
UK, Irish and Commonwealth background to the subject
G20 advised by the Commonwealth countries sought to deliver this through representative democracy and parliamentary authority, advising the heads of state and the head of the Commonwealth.
EFTA and EU background to the concept
EFTA was founded to prevent trade wars and reduce measures of bad faith within the capitalist system of Europe such as arms races and collapsing each others pensions and stock exchanges and banks in times when information was less available.
The Post War institutions that would have to implement it
UN
World Bank
IMF
UN aid agencies
Regional Bodies
Ideas on what they would have to implement
At Gleneagles those states that couldn’t qualify for international development full debt write off had the following options set up:
1) Debts reduced and paid off at manageable amounts (the nation state version of the IVA), coordinated on the basis of currency and stock exhange areas, with the Euro Zone getting its own stock exchange so as to have one regulated stock exhange per currency area. This is IMF wirte off stage one
2) New Money for investment generated by the IMF (UN authorised Quantitative Easing), in effect global aid bonds for railways to purchase and transport the arw materials. This is IMF and world bank liased.
3) Bilateral trade agreements and donations (ie when we get the IEP trains in the UK, the HSTs get donated to Irelands diesel lines and get automatic doors and new locos). This was done by both PM Brown and the new coalition government.
4) Establishment of other equivilants to the Euro to reduce contras and the like re-emerging.
Which should have priority?
Answers to the Government and speaker of the House of Commons, calling for a Royal Commission on fiscal regulation. My guess all at once through the UN following authorisation of recommendations and simultaneous development of proposals.

With all the recent furore over circumcision in the media I thought I'd put up some accurate information about Judaism below.
Knapp and Magloffs guide to Jewish faith and practice
Faith can be described as believing in certain things with mind heart and soul; and then living by them in the course of everyday life. Faith is always personal. Each person must believe for themselves. Here are some m...ain parts of the Jewish faith.
Jewish beliefs
There is only one God and creator, who cannot be seen and described
Prayers should be said to God and only to God
God knows the thoughts and deeds of all people
God made a unique covenant or agreement with the Jewish people
One of the Greatest leaders of the ancient Jewish people was Moses. God gave laws to Moses on Mount Sinai. These laws include the Ten commandments
The Jewish Bible includes the writings of Moses, called the Torah. It also includes writings by prophets and kings, as well as proverbs and Psalms. Jewish scriptures also include writings made by scholars over a long period of time.
A man named Abraham was one of the founders of the Jewish faith. He had a special covenant with God.
God promised Abraham and his descendants that they would live in the promised land. This land is ancient Israel.
Jewish scripture teaches us that we must all work to make the world a perfect place.
Judaism is not just a set of beliefs and practices, it is a way of living life. Judaism is filled with practices and traditions that affect every aspect of life
Many of the laws in the Jewish Bible teach us how to help make the world a perfect place. They include ideas like having compassion for all living things, and striving towards peace.
The above are common to (for want of a better term) the Jewsih Sects / demoninations and form the introduction to the book.
These are Haredi
United
Reform
Liberal
Progressive
And in London there are also other secular, humanist and the Jews for Jesus groups.
The main religious festivals are based on a 13 month, 52 week calendar with festivals that vary in date based on the lunar calendar (such as Pesach / Passover like the Christian festival of Easter).
The recently contentious practice of male circumcision can vary with each sect as to ‘how much skin gets lopped off’. However it is not barbaric compared with extreme Islamist (whahibi) practice of female circumcision where the Clitoris gets fully removed and the female pee tube gets rerouted into the birth canal. Men who are circumcised can still have sex when they grow up or after conversion as adults.
Also like the Scots within their own faith they have a lower minimum marriage age which is recognised in law in the UK. Some other faiths seek this parity as well. However this should never negate from getting GCSEs and O levels as the basis for subsequent external study while bringing up a family or vocational training.

Ecclesiastical and multi faith institutions in the United Kingdom
1) The position of Monarch as Head of the Church of England
In the 1530s King Henry Tudor Junior (VIII) created the Church of England by proclaiming his realm of England as an Empire with him as its spiritual and temporal head so he could remarry and have a male heir. In 1536 he created county and diocese structures within the province of Canterbury for the territory of Wales (legal sessions were based on the English and Welsh marches sessions in Ludlow, with Monmouthshire in the Oxford assizes and Deeside, Flintshire and Wrexham under Chester assizes, province of York, reaffirmed after the rebellion of James Stuart Duke of Monmouth in the reign of William and Mary and Queen Anne).
In 1540 he summoned the Irish Lords and was upgraded from overlord of all Ireland to its King.
In these three realms monasteries and convents were sold of to the aristocracy and gentry and some were demolished.
His sister was married to the Stuart King James of Scotland, their daughter became Queen Mary of Scots so before that occurred there was relative peace between England and Scotland with less reference to the Island Empire proclamation in the reign of Edward 1st which had been toned down by the Anglo- Scottish peace treaty in the Reign of Edward 3rd. Their monasteries were bought by the Calvinist aristocracy of the Scottish Kirk which in the regency and reign of James VI produced their prayer book at Scottish universities using the proceeds.
In the reign of Henrys daughter Elizabeth 1st the present Church of England prayer book as recognised by the House of Commons and since the disestablishment of the Church of England in Wales the General Synod of the Chuch of England and Anglican Consultative ctte / Archbishops Consultative Ctte of the Anglican Chruch, and an official English language bible was produced as Crown property and published by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
In 1603 James VI acceded to the throne of England, Wales and Ireland as James 1st, King Of Greate Britain, Ireland and France, (defender of the faith)
The English language Bible was rededicated as the King James Bible and vested in the Court of St James as the King James Bible. Some of the Scottish and Irish Church became ‘Episcopalian’ accepting structures and parity with the Church of England, and the authority of the Crown as their common Governor. The Calvinist Church in Scotland continued with its own service book and the Royal Family were recognised as ‘honoured guests’ who shared the faith and bible in English with them and funded the translation of these books into both dialects of Gaelic (Scottish, Irish), Shetland Norse, Manx and Channel Island French, as Elizabeth 1st had authorised a Cymraeg / Welsh translation in her, preceding reign. The common publisher is the Trinitarian Bible society.
2) The evolution of dissenting churches
As of 2012 there are the following English Language full translations of the Bible:
King James Bible and New King James Translation
Vulgate (Roman Catholic) translated from Latin into English as the Jerusalem and New Jerusalem Bibles, used by RC, some CofE and Orthodox Churches in the English speaking countries of the world.
Revised Standard (Methodist church of Great Britain and Irish Methodist church)
New International (Some Methodists, Baptist church of great Britain and Irish Baptist church, Ian Paisleys denomination in Northern Ireland, Evangelical Alliance (Alpha interdenominational congregations of varying denominations) and the successor churches to the Dissenters, Free, Congregational in England, Wales and Scotland (the United Reform Church of Great Britain), created as their congregations fell and to have a better voice in England with parity to their fellow Calvinist / Knox based church the Kirk in Scotland, through the Chruches Together in England, advising the Crown and Lambeth palace at their governing council / synod level, with members of the Royal family as a Patron / advisor in the process of mutual understanding (the mutual covenant).
Post WW2 there are churches together in England that apart from sending out and collecting the Christian Aid Week envelopes, also campaign for church missionaries and ecumenical aid (such as care of orphans and building wells and Christian schools in the 3rd / developing world). Since 2003 on the basis of resident churches, a churches together in Wales has also started developing, to aid and advise ‘their man in Lambeth’
Following the collapse of Communism and in response to the horror of arms proliferation and extremist violence, a UK wide interfaith forum has been estabnlished so that UK resident Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Jews (of descent from Commonwealth citizens who fought in the two world wars and settled here) can try and stop it through campaigning. On a practical level since the 2004 Pacific tsunami, in the UK several charities have pooled their linguistic and aid agency expertise to form the DEC (Disaster Emergency Committee) to help offer food and humanitarian aid to famine zones such as Sudan and Ethiopia and evacuate refugees and help them at refugee camps in bordering states according to international law, aiding Un mandated agency, UNICEF.

Global chivalric orders
With yesterdays opening court sessions in Norway about the bombing of a government building and the firearms shooting of 77 people, the defendant claimed that he was a 'Knight Templar' killing those who advocate multiculturism ( a young Labour Party of Norway rally camp). To which end prior to said incidwent he worte a manifesto / thesis about his views about the state of his country in which he wanted it rechristianised and made more catholic.
Firstly Scandinavian faith and related social groups may be different from teh UK, Ireland and commonwealth, but the first two are also under European Free Trade and Convention on Human Rights (the one that predates teh treaty of Rome and teh founding of the European Union, of which Norway is not a part. In said manifesto he adocated a rechristianising of Norway on Catholic lines. It is ironic but he himself may therefore be a minority within his own country.
Secondly, coukld such an event happen within teh United Kingdom? Aside from Islamic and EDL counter rallies against each otgher which are by and large policed even handely under the EU conventions and human rights, the constituent parts of teh United Kingdom have anti sectarian and 'Equal Opps' laws, namely the 1999 Human Rights Act and similar measures pased at Cardiff Bay, Holyrood and stormomt.
Also although after crusades in teh middle ages, the KT in the west were for a time banned by the papacy unitl the counter reformation and as a response to the inquisition. Within the UK they have a website expressing a desire for charitable giving towards christian ends and in comemoration of their founders. One church which they revere as a success from before their closure by the papcay is All Hallows by the Tower which was converted fromk a pagan military temple into a church when Roman britain converted to christianity, with some placing this as one reason why and some say in response to the conversion of The Emperor Constantine.
Other orders are
The Knght Hospitalier and the Order of St John
The United Grand Lodge of England (Scotland and Ireland have their own)
and these were developed from the union of crowns of England and Scotland, seeking to aid peace and toleration (albeit from the opposite viewpoint of Protestant theology). They too work for their communities and in teh UK there are also the Lions, Rotary and Round Table.
Their ethos has been developed into interfaith international aid agencies such as the Disaster Emergency Ctte and the International Red Cross and Crescent and Diamond which seek to aid the casualtioes of war and bring humanitarian aid in.
As such the Islamic world should listen to teh trial and not rush jo judgement on th trials first day.
