Re: Alt History: Israel loses in 1948
The only consequence for necrophilia is maybe getting tickled by carrion beetles if you didn't find your love interest soon enough. Oh you meant consequences from the friends and family of the deceased?

Modern advertising is also all about meaningless nostalgic buzz words devoid of all today's "nasties" yet still containing all the good of the past even when they're mutually exclusive.

The problem with both neophilia and necrophilia, in the contexts we're talking about, is the utopian element of trying to replace a real thing, a real society, whatever its faults or virtues, with an imaginary, abstract one, whether an idealized past or an idealized future or whatever. In each case, you have to remove the real one to have space for the imaginary one to exist... |

This has degenerated.
How would the Us/UK orientate to a non Israel middle East? 1953 was Operation Ajax 1956 was Suez crisis 1958 General Kassim 8n Iraq With a Arab and Jewish state there would be no: 6 day war, Munich, Yom Kippur etc... |

Re: Alt History: Israel loses in 1948
There isn't going to be an Arab and Jewish state. The neighbouring states will divvy up the proceeds of their attack, lock up the Jews in refugee/concentration camps (and possibly fight over the proceeds of their attack). The United States will continue to try to make anti-communist alliances in the Middle East, and depose leaders who won't play where they can. The Russians will continue to train terrorists to attack the western imperialists.

It was an 'alt History'. You know historically Moscow was the best at making anti-communist alliances. How many left groups were sold down the river is nigh uncountabe. Most of the Middle East is under French or British control. So the idea that these states can 'divvy' up is pretty much a moot point. |
