These are the deep contradictions at the heart of Sunni Hamas, their perhaps unlikely allies in Shia Iran, and how - together - they threaten to destabilise the world.
And that there are people who loathe it so much that they are actually prepared to defend or excuse the deliberate mass murder of civilians, including old women and tiny children?
Have you noticed that Israel is the only country in the world that gets blamed for being attacked? And that there are people who loathe it so much that they are actually prepared to defend or excuse the deliberate mass murder of civilians, including old women and tiny children?

This document has never been published, and the BBC has spent more than £300,000 of your money on court cases ensuring that it stays secret. So it is not hard to guess what it says, is it?I will not name the prominent TV reporter who I once heard using the expression 'bashing the Shloms' to sum up his basic mission of running anti-Israel stories, as the Western media corps relaxed over drinks in the lovely courtyard of Jerusalem's American Colony Hotel.
This cowardly backtracking closed the only true escape route for those who would soon afterwards be slaughtered in Hitler's pogroms and death camps. So what shall we do about this? Shall we make it a rule that nations which have displaced their original inhabitants should be dissolved, or forced to hand the land back?
In Europe, a frightful, savage and often fatal campaign drove millions of Germans from their ancestral lands in Poland and Czechoslovakia.And the cleansing was authorised by the Great Powers under the Potsdam Agreement of 1945. And let us not forget that hundreds of thousands of Jews were ruthlessly ejected from all parts of the Arab and Muslim world. They were mostly forced to leave behind everything they owned. This cruelty was a response to the creation of Israel.They may have bitter memories, but the world does not encourage them to ferment those memories into a permanent politicised fury.
Is it possible that they prefer them to languish in these places of despair? There are shining exceptions to this stupid policy. And here I should say that I think Israel's attack on Gaza is a mistake, mainly because it will probably not work, and because it will allow millions of people to start loathing Israel again. They cannot do this at the moment.
By doing so, they have warned all civilised citizens that such opinions are truly held by an alarming number of people. But take some examples. This is a world which claims to despise appeasement, the giving away of actual territory in return for paper promises of peace. If Israel had conceded an Arab state on the West Bank of the Jordan, as everyone tells it to do, what guarantee would there be that such a state would not, like Gaza, fall under the control of murderers?
