Iranian drone attack

The much anticipated Iranian attack on Israel has begun, threatening all out war in the Middle East, with vast implications for the whole world. Israel is bound to retaliate. And what happens after that is anyone’s guess. A new and very dangerous era is upon us.

    This is not Israels first rodeo, remember 1948, 1956, 1967,1973,1982,2006,Intifada and now Gaza. Iran should be prepared for Israel’s response.

    We have Fiji Army ready to protect the people of the Lord in Isreal. Send them to Isreal with the others who went on a trip of a lifetime to now go and safeguard Isreal.
    I really want to see our Fijians on the frontline in Isreal.

      Would that be the same people that fled in the first Fiji airways flight out of Israel when the conflict began?

    The RFMF have stomped on, spat on, consigned our chiefs to drink home brew under the mango tree and even murdered our citizens so many times since 1987 that if Fiji were under threat no body will want to sign up.

    There’ll be happiness that these overweight over inebriated peace keepers will finally have to put their bodies and lives on the line for a change rather than torment local citizens that they became so fond of doing over the years.

    My father and his father before him served the RFMF faithfully in their time.

    This is not the same RFMF that we all used to love, admire and respect and we know those individuals who wrecked that image for their selfish ends.

    They’re still strutting around living off taxpayers’ expense.

    All the hype about Fiji soldiers being fearless and world reknown is crap, just crap. I have often heard from senior military officers here in Fiji about how Fiji soldiers are the best in the world…WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!!
    Too much self praise and not enough combat time gets one in these situations…..Greatest rugby players, greatest warriors, greatest soldiers…..crap !!!Reminds me of the time Seru Cakobau asked for friendly Tongan warriors to assist him in the great Rewa war.As soon as the battle started, the Tongans charged towards the enemy (Rewans) and the Bauan Batis went and hid behind trees leaving the Tongans to fight for themselves.After the battle ,it was asked why the Bauans hid behind trees in the middle of the battle since the Tongans were only helping and not supposed to be frontline troops. The answer that came from the Bauans was that thats how they do battle ,they hide at the site of enemy approaching and then ambush them if they come nearer….Crap !!! thats called lamusona . Brings to memory the word KIDACALA (as in Rabuka’s operation KIDACALA).
    The Lord thy GOD,JESUS has finally humbled you lot of self worshipping and human hating race. Remember Lebanon ,when the RFMF soldiers were attacked in the late 70’s…Corporal VIDYA SAGAR and another itaukei soldier fought back, lost their lives and are still heros.These modern day RFMF is a bunch of wife beating ,homosexual former students of QVS,RKS,MARIST wannabe’s. watching too many video games and pretending to be soldiers.GAURI RFMF

About Grubsheet

Graham Davis
Grubsheet Feejee is the blogsite of Graham Davis, an award-winning journalist turned communications consultant who was the Fijian Government’s principal communications advisor for six years from 2012 to 2018 and continued to work on Fiji’s global climate and oceans campaign up until the end of the decade.

 

Fiji-born to missionary parents and a dual Fijian-Australian national, Graham spent four decades in the international media before returning to Fiji to work full time in 2012. He reported from many parts of the world for the BBC, ABC, SBS, the Nine and Seven Networks and Sky News and wrote for a range of newspapers and magazines in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

 

Graham launched Grubsheet Feejee in 2011 and suspended writing for it after the Fijian election of 2014, by which time he was working at the heart of government. But the website continued to attract hits as a background resource on events in Fiji in the transition back to parliamentary democracy.

 

Grubsheet relaunches in 2020 at one of the most critical times in Fijian history, with the nation reeling from the Covid-19 crisis and Frank Bainimarama’s government shouldering the twin burdens of incumbency and economic disintegration.

 

Grubsheet’s sole agenda is the national interest; the strengthening of Fiji’s ties with the democracies; upholding equal rights for all citizens; government that is genuinely transparent and free of corruption and nepotism; and upholding Fiji’s service to the world in climate and oceans advocacy and UN Peacekeeping.

 

Comments are welcome and you can contact me in the strictest confidence at grubsheetfeedback@gmail.com

 

(Feejee is the original name for Fiji - a derivative of the indigenous Viti and the Tongan Fisi - and was widely used until the late 19th century)
