Think It, Don’t Say It

Posted on May 25, 2013 by | Leave a comment

A few hundred years ago, Christians were very concerned when people spoke ill about their religion or other religions. The name of the game was to keep silent if you did not have anything nice to say. Turkish-Armenian writer Sevan Nisanyan has been sentenced to jail in Turkey for 58 weeks because he made fun of Allah or Mohammed or someone who lived hundreds of years ago. The prosecutor charged him with “insulting the religious beliefs held by a section of society.” His crime was setting up a blog entitled: “We need to fight hate speech. Making fun of a Arab leader who claimed he contacted Allah hundreds of years ago” is not hate speech.

It is quite proper to insult any political leader in Turkey who is part of the government, but don’t dare insult government officials or make fun of any  religion–other than Jewish, that is.

Drone On With Death

Posted on May 22, 2013 by | Leave a comment

President Obama will present to the nation his rationale for sending drones to kill enemy forces and the  overall strategy of countering terrorism. There is no doubt that drones have and will be capable of killing terrorist leaders. There is also no doubt drones also kill innocent people in the process. The essential theory of using  drones is to kill leaders. Unfortunately, there is no example in the twentieth century that killing leaders led to the collapse of a terrorist group. Osama bin Laden is dead, but al-Qaeda has GROWN IN POWER since that death. Al-Qaeda is now in Mali, in Chad, in Libya and its allies are now in Nigeria-DESPITE THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN.

In the process of using drones the United States has gained the hatred of millions. We challenge President Obama to provide evidence that killing leaders ends terrorism.

Oh, he will also talk about Guantanamo. On that point, he is right, close the damn place once and for all.

Nazis Redeux

Posted on May 22, 2013 by | Leave a comment

It is now clear the school system of Greece deserves a large F on its teaching of the history of Greece. Believe it or not but during the years1940-1945 there were same bad guys who occupied the country. They were called-NAZIS. The bad guys killed thousands of Greeks, they sent thousands to work as slave laborers in Germany and they sort of looted the nation of its goods. Millions of Greeks starved and barely survived. So, with this piece of historical information, what is now happening in Greece?

The Golden Dawn political party has a model-Nazi Germany. It seeks to retrun to the good old days when Nazis controlled Greece. Oh, instead of hating and killing Jews, the Golden Dawn Nazis want to hate and kill Muslims. The Nazis destroyed Jewish synagogues and now Golden Dawn wants to prevent Muslims from building a mosque in Athens. Party spokesman,Ilias Kasidiaris informed the world: “If a mosque is constructed for Islamist criminals in Greece, a front of 100,000 Greeks headed by the Golden Dawn  will be created.”

So, who heads off the Golden Dawn criminals–Nazis from Germany?

Iraq,Iraq, Iraq Violence

Posted on May 20, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago at the beginning of the twenty first century there lived a great ruler named George Bush who  had two trusted assistants named Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld. These were wise  men who knew all about that far off land called, Iraq. It was ruled by an evil man named, Saddam Hussein. George and Dick and Don decided to bring peace, prosperity and hope to the people living in this terrible place, and in the process, they would destroy Weapons of Mass Destruction. And, so the bad man was killed and Americans took over the land of Iraq. And, peace and prosperity were now part of the lives of those living in Iraq??

Instead of working to create a coalition government that included both Sunnis(minority) and Shiites the US  allowed a sectarian, angry Shiite government to assume power. Thus, a new civil war arose between Sunnis who felt oppressed and Shiites who now controlled the government after decades under  rule of Sunnis. In one week over 13o people died in violence that wracked Iraq. The country is being torn to pieces because Prime Minister Maliki is  out for vengeance rather than being out for peace and reconciliation.

We recommend that Maliki ask assistance from South African leaders who avoided such chaos by reaching out to whites  rather than seeking revenge for  years of oppression.

Syria And Israel

Posted on May 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

It is now over sixty years since the state of Israel was created and conflict arose between the  new nation and its neighboring Arab states. Actually, the conflict goes even further back to opening years of the 20th century when Jews began arriving in the province of Palestine at the invitation of the Ottoman empire. Israel and

It is now over sixty years since the new state of Israel and its neighbor, Syria, clashed over land. As the years passed there was one conflict over another, and, in virtually all cases Syria came out on the short end of the fight. CIA chief, John Brennan is now in Israel attempting to deal with desires of the Israel government to wipe out any and all missiles passing through Syria  on their way to Hezbollah in Lebanon. There already have been two Israel strikes at these missiles and Prime Minister Netanyahu has made clear there will be more air attacks in order to ensure that no missiles wind up with Hezbollah.

Has anyone in the Israel government considered an easier solution? How about forging a peace agreement withe Palestinians and making very, very difficult the ability of Hezbollah to strike at areas which contain Muslims and Jews? Peace with Palestinians is the BEST way to avoid war in the Middle East for the people of Israel.

Blame It On The Jews!

Posted on May 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The problem in being a Jew over the past two thousand years is that whenever people are upset at something or anything they simply turn to the ever available enemy-the Jew. Most Middle Eastern people are still convinced the Mossad was behind the 9/11 bombing. They are convinced that Israel agents are stirring up trouble in Egypt in order to discredit the beloved Muslim Brotherhood. A few days ago bombers blew up cars and killed dozens of people in a Turkish border town with Syria. Mihrad Ural, former leader of “Acilcier”- the Hasty Ones– claims that Israel agents did the bombing in order to disrupt the life of our wonderful Syrian leader, President Bashar al-Assad.

“Israel has an interest in this, since the Syrian army’s recent gansshow that Bashar al-Assad is here to stay.”Let’s face it, them Jews were behind the Boston Marathon Masscre!

Land Or Peace?

Posted on May 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Once upon a time in Israel there were leaders whose main goal was the security of their nation and the second goal of peace with Palestinians. David ben Gurion or Golda Meier were willing to compromise to ensure the long term success of the nation of Israel. But, as secular minded Jews had fewer and fewer children,  religious Jews multiplied and gained increased political power. Then came, Benjamin Netanyahu, the grestest calamity to the people of Israel. For the first time in the history of Israel there is a Palestinian government prepared to compromise in order to resolve the conflict with Israel. Even as John Kerry persuades the Arab League to agree to the existence of Israel, the Netanyahu government announced new plans to build homes on the West Bank.

A compromise agreement WILL allow further building of homes on the West Bank. Instead of displaying patience, Netanyahu rushed to build and build. Almost 300 new homes will go up. And, along with these houses going up, hope for peace between Israel and Palestinians will go down. There simply is no reason -at this moment in time-for new houses.

Jews In War

Posted on May 7, 2013 by | Leave a comment

For most people, the word,Israel, conveys a strong military power and people who use force whenever they deem necessary. However, from the Diaspora in the first century until World War I and World War II, Jews were not noted for their military ability. Over 1.5 million Jews fought in World War II with 550,000 in the US Army, 500,000 in the Russian army and 30,000 in British units including the Jewish Brigade from Palestine. Recently opened archives in Moscow reveal that Jews were at the highest command level during World War II even though dictator Joseph Stalin attempted to hide from the Russian public that Jews were active participants in combat. He preferred the myth that Jews were lazy parasites who allowed others to fight for Russia.

Perhaps, it is time for Israel to cease displaying its fighting spirit and recognize that peace and caring are also Jewish virtues.

Naked In Egypt?

Posted on May 6, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Fundamentalists insist upon a strict interpretation of the Koran, or at least what they consider to be a strict interpretation. In Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to restore a conservative world in which women know their place, they dress in an appropriate manner and all is as God wants it to be. Unfortunately, for these people,  tourism accounts for about one-tenth of the economy, and for some strange reason, foreigners do not seek a vacation in a land governed by an Islamic code of life. The Ministry of Tourism is now recommending booze and bikinis in order to bring dollars and jobs back to Egypt. Sorry, if tourists can drink and cavort half naked, how does one tell the difference between a local and a foreign person?

To  make matters worse, tourist officials would like to lure folk from Iran but they are  Shiites and the  local Sunnis will not enjoy the company of  heretics. When one lives the life of one governed by a particular code of thinking, dollars do not come your way.

I wonder if tourist officials have considered Jews?

Another Actor In Syrian Story

Posted on May 6, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Scarcely a day goes by in the Syrian tragedy without a new source of conflict and confusion. Israel planes struck at targets in Damascus which apparently contained a shipment of highly accurate Iranian-guided missiles destined for Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. President Bashar Assad uttered words of anger terming the assault a “flagrant violation of international law.” He now charges that Israel is in alliance with Islamic terrorists and thus true Muslims will rally around his flag which is the center of defense of the Muslim people. Over in Tehran, General Masoud Jazayeri warned that his nation would not allow “the enemy(Israel) to harm the security of the region.”

Let me get this straight:

1. Syrian rebel groups hate Assad.

2. Syrian rebel groups hate Israel.

3. Turkey is in conflict with Syria.

4. Turkey is just ending its conflict with Israel.

5. Iran and Syria like Hezbollah.

6. Hezbollah hates Israel.

I trust this explains the current conflict in Syria.
