Who are you calling a bad neighbour?Wednesday 12 Feb 2003
author: John Veldhuis
There was this family, called Smith, living in a nice neighbourhood.
Suddenly another family, called Jones, arrives in the neighbourhood, stating that because the land belonged to their people 2000 years ago, the Smith family has to leave their house, their land and their shops. They can go live somewhere else, anywhere, as long it is not a place wanted by the Jones family.
The Smith family has no choice but to do what the Jones family orders them, because the Jones family brings a lot of weapons, a strong-arm squad, tanks, jets, and bulldozers.
Although other neighbours try to defend the Smith family by attacking Jones, the enormous support to the Jones' from abroad makes sure the Smith family and their neighbours lose. The only result was that the Smith family became even more greedy and wanted more land that belongs to Smith.
The Smith family now lives in a refugee camp, can't travel anywhere, and are shot at, humiliated, tortured, locked up, robbed, deprived of education, deprived of medical attention, deprived of ways to make a living, etc. etc. etc. on a daily basis.
It is not strange they want to get rid of the Jones family.
The policeman of the world should abide by the international laws and organisations itself, and drag the Jones family back to their own land, behind the green fence.
