WHY is it Arab and Islamic countries feel they have the right to riot against their governments in the hope of overthrowing them and getting their own way?

This “policy” usually ends in up in a civil war and the people who suffer are the wives and children.

Then they expect aid from other countries.

They cause needless deaths and bring needless suffering to their own people.

What would happen if we did the same in this country?

Israel and Hamas are a prime example, they bring death and destruction to their own cities and families and expect us in the West to help them.

The Americans supply up-to-date missiles and weaponry to Israel, while this country can’t wait to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia.

After the Second World War, I hoped we would never see such savagery and killing again. I have been disappointed. As far as peace goes, since 1945 there has been none.

Unfortunately the new defence secretary, former Darlington MP Michel Fallon, has little, if any, knowledge of the ministry he now heads.

Luckily he has the backing of his civil service experts .
