Who would like to argue the facts, Mr. Young?

Ok. Try DNA tests.
Which are not legal in Israel.
I wonder why?
God should know, hey?
Original people?

Dear Ivoine Ingrahm,
You are showing your age.
With that age comes experience, learning and wisdom.
These too, are also lacking today.'
Your words are spot on, accurate, true, uncomfortable.
Yes, what happened? Because it was as you say. Those old enough have seen these indisputable changes ourselves.
I am afraid we may never regain the place we once had.
The brain drain has been real and far too many have left our shores due to the breakdown of our social order, and the unfairness and corruption of our political class, including the judiciary.
The effects are well described by you above.
It seems to be happening all over the world, leaving me to wonder if it hasn't been planned this way.
But, as you clearly and honestly state the truth, what is it that will change things for the better.
We don't seem to be interested in learning. Not by reading, or any other method.
We don't seem to be interested in speaking up and out about the injustices and deceit.
We remain silent in the face of mounting social upheaval and blatant dishonesty from our politicians.
So, I feel exactly as you do. Now, how do we get nation-oriented politicians out of a population that you just described above?
Who, educated and capable, would stay here in The Bahamas, waiting for things to "turn around"?
Seems like those who are holding political office are little more than greedy little people.
They certainly do not, as if the evidence isn't right in front of our eyes, have much concern past the idea of fattening themselves up at our expense.
Yes, The Bahamas is changing. Sadly, it is changing for the worst.
And, all we get is words, more words and more loans to saddle and degrade this country forever.

"There have also been nasty, highly charged and inflammatory accusations that Israel has lured people to aid distribution sites in order to shoot them. But such a grotesquely absurd notion has been dismissed as being anyway inherently implausible because it must be obvious to all that Israel would have absolutely nothing to gain from such terrible action, and a tremendous amount to lose in the propaganda war."
Mr. Young, these are not "nasty, inflammatory, reports". This is well documented by numerous observers.
That you, at this late date, still are suggesting that Israel has any rights whatsoever, suggests a very weak moral compass.
Further, as Jeffrey Sachs points out, as one of the most respected statesman in the world, Britain is at the heart of all the Middle East conflicts.
Perhaps that is what you fail to acknowledge.
From day 1, with the Balfour Declaration, Britain has poisoned the Middle East with their well-documented duplicitous behavior, "giving" this land to 3 different groups.
The US and Britain are currently arming and aiding Israel in its murderous rampage.
There are no other words to describe this madness.
The West is not just complicit, they are actively funding, directing and abetting this act of evil.
To read the polls coming out of Israel, it is easy for any sentient person to conclude that Israel is a very sick society.
Or, as Norman FInkelstein says, as the world's expert Jewish authority on Gaza, Israel is a lunatic state.
I started your article here, thinking there may be a glimmer of enlightenment or an honest take on a grave situation.
Instead, unsurprisingly, I find more misinformation, lack of historical framing, and a continued apology for a group of apartheid, racist, colonial powers who have no morals, and no adherence to international law.
Mr. Young, even in Britain, there are many laws which are broken daily by the continued aiding and abetting this slaughter.Britain is arresting elderly people who are protesting the disgusting action of the UK government in the proscribing of Palestine Action, a non-violent group dedicated to Free Speech and objecting to a genocide. Many of these people are Jews of conscience.
Something is deeply troubling about the UK's relationship with Israel.
Anyone who reads understands what this is about. Guilt, money, bribery.
Personally, the UK is nearly finished, and the US will likely follow suit.
Good riddance.

Yes, politicians and their loyalists have a way of framing the narrative to suit their own narrow interests.
And yes, certain tropes do morph over time.

“Bahamians want to know that their communities are safe, that their jobs are secure, and that the rules apply to everyone — no matter their background, nationality, or connections,” Mr Davis said. “We are not anti-immigrant. ***We are anti-lawlessness.*** We are not against workers who follow the law. But we will not tolerate systems that disadvantage Bahamians in their own country.”
Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

Yes, the more of The Bahamas we sell off to corporations and the rich, it doesn't matter which party sold out our land, water and heritage.
Jobs, jobs, low paying jobs.\
We need to learn about basic economics. The money that the cruise ships bring in, goes right out of this country.
It is all about ownership folks.
We haven't encouraged it, therefore we don't have it.

birdie, birdie
Wake up. You're talking in your sleep again.

And someone actually believes what comes out of a defense attorney's mouth?

birdie,
I think Sandilands is calling.
Better hurry.
