Which way Bahrain in 2022?
Will the opposition wish to stand in the 2022 elections in Bahrain? And will the government wish to allow them to stand? As I see it these are key issues. Issues which Bahrain must resolve now. The government has made a gesture with the release of Nabil Rajab. Now it is the opposition's turn to be constructive. Perhaps.

Treat Racism as Covid - assume that you've got it
There is no easy way to end fear of the other. Racism is invariably based on that fear. Dealing with racism demands that we utilize love as a weapon

So What's the Story on Iran
Iran has made a decision on who the candidates are likely to be for next year's Presidential election. And there is not an extremist among them - but then nor is there a liberal. They are all pragmatists belonging to what Iran calls the "Principalist" party.

Israel and Palestine - thinking again
I was not so happy with that last podcast on Israel and Palestine. It was not respectful enough of the Palestine issue - and though it covers all the bases in detail - it misses the point when it comes to the heart of the matter. This is perhaps more honest to the actual situation these two great nations living cheek by jowl now find themselves in.

Thoughts in the Aftermath of Eid - in a coronavirus world
My wife, Veronica Morris, went to church - virtual church that is (using zoom) - last Sunday. Now normally about this time I would send out a message for Eid - and that's what this is. However I am inspired in this by my wife Veronica. That's because at church somebody preached a fairly straightforward sermon about how Christ suffered so we can suffer alongside him. Which is one way of looking at things I guess. Though not particularly helpful perhaps. But afterwards when the congregation were having coffee (virtual coffee that is) my wife shouted out, "Did God do this to us? Was it a punishment?" Which certainly got everyone's attention. This Eid message is my response.

Rethinking Syria
5.6m refugees have fled Syria; 3.8m of these are in Turkey. Some of the Syrian refugees are moving on to Europe and according to the charity Syria Relief, the Turkish-Greek border is ‘Hell on Earth’. The collapse in the oil price and inflation in Syria ensure living standards will continue to plummet which will drive more toward militancy.
But what is going on behind the scenes?

Coronavirus takes one of the best: Memories of Mike Gottlieb and of Jerusalem
A lament for Michael Gottlieb, another of the best of us gone to Coronavirus. For many months he was the quiet facilitator of a series of critical meetings on the Status of Jerusalem that engaged variously the legendary journalist Chaim Bermant, PLO man Afif Safieh, peacenick David Solomon, Gazan Maie Sarraf, the irascible Saul Zadka and many others, not least Mike's wife Mili who hosted the meetings. Both Mili and Mike were felled by coronavirus. Mili is on the mend but Michael is gone. And the world is a poorer place for his loss.

On Covid-19: So What do you do if you Get It?
*To Avoid Covid-19*
• good hand washing
• personal hygiene
• social distancing
*If you get Covid-19*
You basically just want to prepare as though you know you’re going to get a nasty respiratory bug, like bronchitis or pneumonia. You just have the foresight to know it might come your way!
*Things you should actually buy ahead of time (not sure what the obsession with toilet paper is?):*
• Kleenex
• Paracetamol
• whatever your generic, mucus thinning *cough medicine* of choice is (check the label and make sure you're not doubling up on Paracetamol)
• “Honey and lemon” can work just as well!
• Vicks vaporub for your chest is also a great suggestion
• a humidifier would be a good thing to buy and use in your room when you go to bed overnight. (You can also just turn the shower on hot and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steam).

Netanyahu rides again - with Benny's help
Such extraordinary news from Israel: In an astonishing betrayal of everything he once stood for, Blue and White leader Benny Gantz is set to partner Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a unity government, serving initially as Foreign Minister but then taking over from Netanyahu as prime minister in September 2021. Gantz’s unexpected decision to join forces with Netanyahu obviously and immediately led to the collapse of Blue and White, with the party’s second in command Yair Lapid rejecting the move and at heading into opposition with others from his Yesh Atid component of Blue and White.

Bishop Philip of Truro wades in on Christian Persecution
The Bishop of Cornwall (a.k.a. Philip, Bishop of Truro) was commissioned by the UK government to write a report on the persecution of Christians and he opens by quoting a Times Newspaper editorial that says "Across the globe, in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, Christians are being bullied, arrested, jailed, expelled and executed. Christianity is by most calculations the most persecuted religion of modern times. Yet Western politicians until now have been reluctant to speak out in support of Christians in peril."
Which is right. Is it?

Shamima Begum et al
Shamima Begum has lost the first stage of her appeal against the removal of her citizenship. The judge decided she was not "stateless". According to information we have received, Shamima returned to the UK in secret on Christmas Eve and is being kept in an undisclosed location. According to the world at large, Shamima remains in Camp Roj, a refugee camp in the Hasakeh region of northern Syria along with hundreds of other ISIS brides and their children. Regardless of the truth of the foregoing, what would you do with her and with the many others in her situation? Make them stateless? Is the removal of citizenship an honourable solution to this troubling issue? Surely not?

Forty Syrian soldiers and fifty rebel troops have been killed in fighting in Idlib province.
Car bombs and heavy fire were used in an attempt by the National Liberation Front rebel alliance to retake positions in the Maarat al-Numan area. The rebels were supplied and supported by Turkey. All this because Bashar al Assad won't agree to Erdogan taking a lead role in peace negotiations. Can there be a way forward that brings an end to chaos?
