Finally, someone has had a stupendous brainwave and finally we can start on the road to peace in the Middle East. A small group of Israeli soldiers have performed a choreographed dance number whilst on patrol on the West Bank.
A sense of humour at last. Perhaps now we can move towards a peaceful middle east. With a little help from Keisha's 'Tick Tock', possibly not the greatest tune in the world, but it's start. Maybe 'Peace Train' by Cat Stevens (Yussuf Islam) next time.
The group of 6 infantry soldiers were spotted in the Palestinian city of Hebron. However, the Army leaders can't see the funny side and have branded the viral, "a stunt". Maybe now, we've also found the root of the problem.
But surely this can only be a good thing. If everyone just chilled out and perhaps have a giggle (or a jiggle) every now and then the world would be a happier place.
I realise it's much easier for me to talk. I'm not a palestinian and having my street invaded by foreign troops, dancing. But, perhaps, just maybe, if there is a couple of like minded Palestinians then next time they could all join in together.
I'm just saying. I'd rather loose to Germany in a football game than a war. And I'm sure the palestinians would rather dance with the Israeli's than be shot by them.

It's Your Own Fault
It's the age old battle of the sexes, especially on a Friday night. The wife or girlfriend, generous and caring, stays home and makes a gorgeous meal. She sits down and waits for her beloved to come home from work.
2 hours pass, still no idea where he is. THUMP. Through the door comes the man of her dreams, shirt untucked, top button undone, tie all over the place. "Went down the Oak for a couple with the lads." he slurs.
Obviously and fairly the wife storms off, possibly to bed, or to whinge to her best friends either on the phone or on facebook, or wherever. The bloke collapses, not for the first time no doubt, on to the couch and passes away the hours of the night unconscious and drooling.
But, a woman academic has come to the mans rescue with the perfect excuse for having one too many. "It's your own fault". Research by historian Jane Peyton has found that in fact women created the golden, alcoholic nectar.
Up to 200 years ago, Beer was considered a food and therefore, rather misogynistically, fell in to the women's remit. Only women were allowed in to the breweries to produce the drink that fuelled, as well as tea, the building of powerful empires.
So, I guess men have to thank women for providing the world with Beer. It is one of the greatest inventions ever, and very clever. However, surely, if they were that little bit more clever then they would've made it less alcoholic and more tastier. That way they may have had men eating out of their hands. Instead, we're eating out of kebab shops.
