David, I forgot to mention that several years ago I was approached by a U.S. government agency that wanted me to Saudi Arabia for two years to listen to high speed Morse code. The reason they wanted me, in particular, was that I could listen to more than one frequency at a time. I just laughed at them; I told them I was Jewish. They told me that would be no problem, I could stay on the base for two years. Uh huh. A two-bedroom apartment. No thank you. But the salary was almost too great to turn down…almost.

Beverly & Albert; Neither of you know what I am talking about. Beverly The whole Freaking world is not against Israel. Canada is in favor of Israel and and our Prime Minister has made many public comments supporting Israel. Australia and New Zealand have expressed support for Israel and so has Germany and France. It is nonsense to say there are too many Arabs in Toronto. If you want to see many Arabs, then go to Detroit.The vast majority of Arabs in North America are law abiding and many young U.S. and Canadian Arabs have joined the armed forces in both Countries. There no terror training camps in Canada

Albert, The title of the book is “None is too many” and it was written by well known Canadian journalist who is Jewish. Canada was no better then the U.S. during World War 11. Henry Morgenthau, the Secretaryof Treasurer of the Roosevelt government was continuously fighting with the U.S State department because of the latter’s refusal to allow Jews in the country during the war. In fact there was a book written on the subject, whose
title was “No Jews Allowed”. The story of the “Voyage of the Damned”, dealt with a ship filled with Jewish refugees who where refused entry in the United States. The refugees had to return to Europe where most of them were slaughtered by the Nazis.

When the war ended , Canada accepted many refugees from displaced persons camps and allowed them to immigrate to Canada. In 1956 after the October revolution in Hungary, Canada allowed 30, 000 Hungarians to immigrate to Canada. Most of these immigrants were Jewish. Canada has accepted many Jewish Immigrants from the North African Countries There about 400,000 Jews in Canada and many of whom have occupied important positions. At one time, Chief Justice of Canada and the Chief Justices of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, Manitoba and British Colombia were all Jewish, There are Jews who operate large business and Jews have chosen to serve in many professions. Many Jews have been elected to important political offices in Canada.

Beverly and Albert, what you say about Arabs was once about Jews by Anti Semites. You are too bigoted and ignorant to understand my point of view. Consequently I do not intend to read any further of your article and I shall no longer offer any communication with you. In any event, not too many people read these articles except one intelligent human being and three bigots.

No, they absolutely do not merit representation by a lawyer. It isn’t the US, it isn’t Canada, it is a nation under siege at every border and from within. Please do not confuse our lack of agreement with lack of understanding. The US learned the hard way; the perpetrators of 9/11 lived amongst us for 3 years (and one actually was turned away at the border without representation and without trial). The UK has not learned and suffered its own consequences plus is overrun by insane and murderous Muslim terrorists (the crescent flag will fly over Buckingham Palace sooner than we think). The persistence of so-called Humanist Jews to apply baseball rules to a boxing match is beyond my ability to grasp. The definition of psychosis is repeatedly performing the same act in the same circumstances under the same conditions yet expecting a different outcome. Applying democratic rules to barbaric homicidal madmen or their spawn is psychotic. The Arab and Persian Muslims have already made it clear they not only will not play in the world sandbox by rule of law, they have declared openly and repeatedly they will use those very laws against anyone who gives them any opportunity to slip in between the cracks made by those laws. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1981, 1987, 2000, 9/11/2001, 2005, 2006…at some point we need to declare our appeasement policies the suicidal mania they are.
“Appeasement is merely surrender on the installment plan.”

Don’t call these mentally retarded deceased journalists who lie and lie just to get before the public eye and then are appointed by thrash newspapers to demonize Israel. Yes when news are true and subtstantiated it is acceptable to the general public ( with reservations ) but when unsubstantiated reports for the betterment of their personal CV’s or their newspapers at a great cost of human lives be it Arab, Christian, Jewish or other nationalities then they should be dished out with the full strength of the law by countries of the world. GAOL IS TOO GOOD FOR THEM.

Laddie, you remind me of the young woman who was taking a course in psychology. The teacher said, “Women tend to take things more personally than do men.” With that, she stood up and said, “I’m a woman and I don’t take things personally.” The teacher smiled and said, “Class is dismissed.”

Canada, as I have mentioned, has a special place in my heart; frankly, if I ever had to move out of the U.S., I would either go to Israel or Canada. HOWEVER, Canada has its share of antiSemites, that is why Honest Reporting Canada exists.

Canadian newspapers and broadcast station have both demonized Israel; that is a verifiable fact. My children are half Canadian. I’m not blasting your country, the United States has MORE than its share of antiSemites and papers that demonize Israel. The New York Times ALWAYS begins stories of trouble in the Middle East with the word “Israel” as in “Israel kills Palestinians.” You have to go halfway down the story to find out that the Palestinians were smuggling in explosives with which to kill innocent men, women, and children in Israel and when ordered to stop, they attempted to kill members of the IDF. Ditto for the Washington Post and several other papers.

You are taking my statement and, like the young lady in the tale above, you’re taking it personally. Go to any college or university where Jews and Israel have been demonized.

Look, Laddie, there are over a billion Muslims in the world and only fourteen million Jews. I’m taking the entire planet. We are a minority people, yet myths abound about us killing gentile babies and using their blood to make our Passover matzohs. Absolute horror! We Jews do not eat blood; it is prohibited in Leviticus seventeen.

We are a people who care about others. Israel was the first country to bring medical help to Haiti when the terrible earthquakes happened. Was Israel given a pat on the back for bringing an ENTIRE HOSPITAL with them? NO! The stories of atrocities that we Jews were performing on the poor Haitians. The “only reason Israel set up the hospital was to take those poor Haitians body parts and organs for transplantation in Israel.” WTF?

No matter what we do, we are blasted. Now we all know that ALL JEWS are rich. That is why I drive a 14 year-old van. Oh, I could be driving a Bentley, but then my neighbors in our hundred million mansions would know we were rich. What BS! I live in a very modest home with my sister and her daughter because we can’t afford to live on our own. I live on less than $19,000 a year, my sister is super-wealthy, she gets an incredible $9,600 a year, but we could always go to a “Jew bank” and get all the money we want. Yeah, in your dreams.

I am in dire need of dental work. So I’ll just go to a “Jew dentist” and he will fix me up free, but I’d rather pay $3,500 instead.

Laddie, just from your name I assume you are not a Jew and that is fine. Most Jews would never dream of putting you or any other non-Jew down; we’re all brothers and sisters, we Jews just have more commandments to do; that is why we were chosen, not for special favors, but to keep a bunch more commandments. Non-Jews only have seven “Noahide” laws to keep viz aish.com click on Wallcam, then for Non-Jews; you’ll see what little you have to do to merit a place in the world to come.

When I say the whole world is against us, I’m not saying that ALL the people in a given country are against us, but in every country on the face of the earth INCLUDING ISRAEL there are Jew haters. Please my brother, stop taking my comments personally. It is nice to hear from you, I’m glad you are here.

Unfortunately, while turmeric is a super safe
herb, taking too much everyday does have adverse effects.
And lastly make sure to laugh and enjoy life, this is the key to longevity.
And remember to consult your physician if you have cancer and want
to make some changes.
