An open letter to the Jews of America and to all good democrats everywhere

My friends, I realize that this is late, and that this is a long essay reaching as it does into history, ethics, domestic policy, foreign policy and economics. I also realise that you have probably already made up your mind as to your vote in the US presidential election. But if not now, then when? You may also resent a non-American presuming to give you advice on voting in America. If this is true, then nothing I write below will reach you. But I feel that I must try, because the stakes are too high for the democracies of this planet.

This is an election that is critical not only to the future of America, but to the future of the Free World. Even more, this election is absolutely critical to the state of Israel and to the entire future of the Jewish people.

Thus, before you cast your vote on Tuesday, just consider if you believe you would have the same rights and opportunities in the US without the existence of the state of Israel? If you believe you would, then just ask your grandparents and parents what life was like for Jews before Israel’s rebirth. Even ask them what life was like before 1967.

Do you trust the future of the Jewish people to BHObama?

Do you trust BHObama to ensure the ability of Jews to pray at the Kotel (Western Wall of the Second Temple), the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the tomb of the Matriarch Rachel, Joseph’s tomb? If those names and places mean nothing to you, other than ancient myths, and yet you believe in the modern myth of BHObama’s economic and foreign policies, then go ahead and vote for him.

Vote for a man who believes that the 1949 armstice lines, established when 7 Arab armies invaded the 600,000 Jews of Israel and slaughtered 1% of them just 3 years after the Holocaust ended, should be the line that determine where a Judenrein region of Judea and Samaria should begin..

Do you trust BHObama when he says he will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons? Do you believe he is not being cute, because although he will not say that he won't let Iran gain the ability to develop nuclear weapons, he actually means both things?

Not only that, why are his minions despatched around the globe to disparage Israel's deterrence capability? Why would he threaten Israel’s leaders against a pre-emptive attack that would try to stave off another Holocaust? Yet Iran’s leaders already deny the Holocaust committed via Nazi Germany and friends, whilst they still promise another as soon as they can enact it. BHObama's action are not those of a friend, they are not even the actions of a neutral.

At a time, when the Jewish people are again faced with the threat of 6 million Jews being exterminated, and nevertheless 120 non-aligned countries turn up in Tehran in spite of BHObama’s vaunted sanctions, the president of the USA decided to denigrate and humiliate the Prime Minister of Israel. Still he found time for late night chat shows. Nonetheless, funds and welcomes are showered on the leaders of the nazi-inspired, and initially sponsored, Muslim Brotherhood.

I have heard many things directly from people who have met BHObama, primarily as the 2008 candidate. One tale in particular stuck out (although there is one story I cannot repeat because I don't have permission to breach a confidence that involves a direct meeting with BHObama and which would shake any supporter of Israel).

BHObama was in Gilo (which is a South Western suburb of Jerusalem although BHObama ignoring the compass, declared it to be East Jerusalem with the loaded political baggage that entails) and we both stood at the same spot, being shown the same things by the same guide. We both looked up and saw the pock marks of bullets fired at civilians in the Jerusalem stone of residential apartments, and the bullet proof shutters required by the inhabitants that overlooked a beautiful valley. Israel had finally constructed a part of the security fence in the middle of the valley to try to protect the civilians. BHObama’s immediate comment was that this was purely a land grab. He ignored the evidence of the terrorist bullets, he ignored the fact that this was Jewish owned land before the British trained and commanded Arab Legion of TransJordan had captured the area in 1948 and ethnically cleansed it of Jews. Somehow, BHObama’s default position was that this Jewish owned land was a "land grab" by Jews.

When I was born, Jews were not allowed to visit the Kotel. Jews could pay some nuns and they may then be allowed to climb a tower and have a look at the Kotel in the distance. BHObama’s pressure on Israel is to relinquish all areas of Israel that resonate with Jewish history, and be left with an indefensible 9 mile waist. If re-elected that pressure will be all but irresistable. Israel will be abandoned on the world stage by the USA, possibly left with only Canada as a friend.  

Not only this, but if you actually know the history of the area, you will know that the deliverance of another swath of the Middle East to create yet another modern Arab country that has never existed in history, is based on fictions. But that may be irrelevant to your sensibilities.

You should be able to guess where my thoughts are going. Let me say that voting for BHObama is not a treacherous thing for an American to do in terms of the American people, it may be damaging to them, but it is not treacherous.  But voting for BHObama is a treacherous thing for a Jew to do in terms of the Jewish people.

I have lived many years in both Europe and North America, and I simply don’t panic. Yet, I have seen the demise of European Jewry to approximately one million souls, but bullied and harassed souls, turned into frightened shells of communities protected by barbed wire, closed circuit cameras, defended by young Jews, tombstones laid flat so that they cannot be desecrated and windows that cannot be opened in schools or synagogues. This, less than 70 years after a third of the Jewish people were wiped out on that continent, and where today, Jews fear to defend Israel in polite company at schools, universities, the office, golf clubs (if let in), the media; as Israel yet defends its citizens from theocratic terrorists who rain missiles upon civilians. The modern day blood libel of apartheid is stuck on the backs of all Jews who are not turncoats to their history, and as with the Nazis, boycotts of products of the Jewish homeland are promoted to punish Jews. This is what you are facing too if you re-elect a leader who wants to lead you down a European track of supposed sophistry and entitlement.

Perhaps your vote will ignore the above and simply be in pursuit of social justice, and for some reason in the US, the right of women to have government funded abortion on demand seems especially critical. But have you looked at the Democratic Party recently? Just like the Liberal Democrats in the UK and the National Democratic Party in Canada, it has morphed into a collection of radical causes that have found a political home. It’s not a focused party any more, just a wave of tearing down morals that have existed.

Personally, I don’t have a firm conclusion on abortion but I do know that a large number of my UK colleagues used abortion as their form of contraception, and that cannot be good on any level for any party. Yet, there are the obvious cases where abortion is not just warranted, but required, and sadly in the UK, there are still too many children being born into the treadmill of poverty and social welfare.

The fact is, those women who want abortions will continue to be able to get them whoever is in power, no matter what you are being told by mendacious attack ads. Abortion is not a reason to vote for BHObama.

Social Justice? Quickly research the lobby groups at the Democratic National Convention. I am not going to direct you to those groups, simply look at them and see if they truly represent values you wish to dominate your country.

Economy? Well, I remember Ronald Reagan facing a terrible economic climate, but I don’t recall him continually blaming Carter and he began to turn things around almost immediately. Reagan didn’t continue to dig so deep that, even now, I have no clue how the USA is going to get out of the exponentially devastating $16 Trillion debt hole. I do believe in universal health care, but as King Solomon allegedly said, there is a time for everything. In the worst global recession in 80 years, that is not the time to restructure a sixth of the economy under government controls. “Stimulus” is simply illogical, and deters the private sector from competing with a government that can abuse its own laws and rules, as it did with the secured lenders of the auto companies.

You don't get the ability to promote a viable social justice program without a functioning economy. An economy that simply borrows without the ability to pay the debt, is not a functioning economy.

So, I see no reason on domestic policy to vote for Obama.

But Jews need to go back to what Israel will face during another 4 years of BHObama rule. Iran will develop nuclear arms capability. No ifs, no buts.

Will Iran attack? Possibly not immediately, but they are governed by brutal theocratic tyranny led by people who believe in an apocalyptic vision that involves initiating a world war to inspire the return of the 12th hidden Mahdi. Iran is the biggest sponsor of terrorism across the globe, on every continent and who knows where a weapon may one day emerge? Iran’s soldiers are currently slaughtering Syrians, and aiding their puppet Assad. Do you think they will care more about the lives of duplicitous apes and pigs, as Jews are described in the Koran? It is merely a matter of time before they deploy a nuclear arsenal.

Even after a nuclear attack by Iran, probably via Hezbollah to provide plausible deniability, then being pummelled by the tens of thousands of missiles prepared under the “watch” of UN forces in Lebanon, and from Gaza, and possibly attacks now from Egypt, Israel will survive in some form. However, it will once again be at the cost of 1 in 3 of the approximately 12 million Jews left in the world. Jews did not recover to the pre-Holocaust number of 18 million even after the best 70 years in 1,800 years of Jewish history. What chance is there of a real future if the numbers are reduced once more and the homeland left as a radioactive pool? 

Let’s leave some final words to Tevye  of Fiddler on the Roof fame, as he reflects on the decision you must make. Most American Jews will at least be aware of Tevye and his torments. Let him guide you.

How can I turn my back on my faith
My people
If I try and bend that far
I will break

On the other hand
No! There is no other hand

Given his actions to date and speeches around the world, I ask you again. 

Do you really trust BHObama with the future of the Jewish people?

RTFQ: Obama, Benghazi, videos and root causes of Muslim violence

As analysts pontificated on the so called root causes of current global Muslim violence, I recalled the wise advice drilled into me when studying for examinations; RTFQ.  The best way to reach a valid answer is to first understand what is actually being asked by proceeding to “Read The F****** Question”. In these violent instances, the advice remains valid and should also be RTFQ. I recommend everyone “Read The Quran” and the root causes will be apparent.

Radicals go on a witch hunt in Toronto

Recently, we have seen a witch hunt by radicals against the elected Mayor of Toronto. The allegedly left-wing radicals are no longer able to freely gorge themselves at the trough of taxpayers' monies since the end of 2010. The social reconstruction projects of a non-elected cabal of extremists do not only attack Toronto’s mayor, but they now attack the huge majority of Toronto's citizens who voted to make their councillors actually accountable for how they chomp through taxpayer funds. Most of the radicals’ causes have little or nothing to do with left-wing ideals of correcting unnatural inequality or achieving representative democracy, but somehow, those with prejudice within their hearts have finagled radical biases into an over-arching cause.

 

Toronto has certainly seen more than its fair share of taxpayer funds going to causes that add nothing to society or its culture, but are essentially free hand-outs for those causes that cannot attract any financial or other support. It’s also a city where the “public service” unions were given the keys to the till in the 7 years of Miller/Pantalone NDP ridden rule. 7 years where the budget effectively doubled from $6 Billion to just under $12 Billion, for less services to the average citizen. As a backlash, Toronto voted against more of the same and elected a mayor who wished to at least restrict the unions’ access to the till somewhat.
 
The radicals did not like this and the little connected covert cabal of evil-doers have sought every slimey trick to attack the Mayor, and any councillor not seen to be in their pockets. Sadly, there are certain lawyers in the city prepared to take pro bono work on for these low lives; heaven forbid that the radicals should actually pay for anything themselves.These lawyers are of the ilk who have little, if any, justice in their cause, and as such revert to nefarious tactics. I have watched with horror the abusive tactics being perpetrated upon the Mayor of Toronto and recognise these as being too easily entertained by the Courts. These tactics include eschewing written answers to fair questions, and these lawyers are certainly not averse to slurring the credibility of good people in order to be granted cross examinations by Courts which tolerate this chicanery. This sort of lawyer do everything they can to cross examine people viva voce, because their aims are to inflate costs, harassment of plaintiffs, hindrance, and if lucky, to trick the cross examinee and they have no compunction about adding information. These gutter lawyers often withhold information themselves until the juncture of the cross examination and their acts have nothing to do with achieving justice. The Law Societies, because they are also industry associations, are loath to censure members. Sadly, this attack on Toronto’s duly elected mayor is not just an isolated incident but a method of practice for many lawyers who abuse the processes set up to enable real justice for all.

The Lumberjack Song reimagined by terrorist enablers to Gaza - the 100th post

Whilst recently reading the stomach churning litany of lies and illogic by those who launch boats to support Hamas in Gaza, and their justification of enablement of terrorism, I could hear a Canadian centric song being sung (apologies to Monty Python). It is not the Mavi Marmara Khaibar song lauding the massacre of Jews.

 

Being extraordinarily generous, let’s just say the UN’s bodies (in particular, its "special rapporteur/conspiracy theorist as it relates to Jews" Richard Falk) are flawed and unreliable as sources for objective information in the Arab-Israeli conflict. UNRWA in Gaza is, at best, riddled with operatives of the terrorist group, Hamas. I would not trust a report by UNRWA if the report was on the spelling of UNRWA. The falsehoods being propogated are merely icing for the stale cake of anti-Semitic prejudice. All together now to the tune of the Lumberjack Song:

I'm an anti-Semite and I'm okay

I hate all night and I lie all day
     He's an anti-Semite and he's okay
     He hates all night and he lies all day

I put down Jews, I go to sea

I aim to increase Gazan weaponry
On everyday, I go sailing
And have the support of the BBC

Chorus

I put down Jews, I love Hamas

Jihadis and Hezbollah
I wish I'd been a pirate
Just like my dear Yasser

Chorus to fade

That's the first 100 posts gone.

Alice Walker is an anti-Semitic liar blinded by hate who once wrote a fictional book about purple

Another guest writer has allowed me to include their statement regarding Alice Walker. She is the writer of the novel "The Color Purple" (colour spelt incorrectly for most of the English speaking world) regarding the experience of prejudice. Nonetheless, Walker has proven herself to be a vile supporter of terrorism both in word and deed in recent years, as long as the terrorism is directed against Jews. According to her, Jewish children should live under missile bombardment launched from amongst the protective Arab civilians in Gaza, but any attempt by Israel to protect its children is unacceptable. Her hypocrisy is laid bare in the statement below.

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she is not happy that all the Arab women in Israel have found an equality that is unparalleled in any Arab country.

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she is not happy that all the Arabs in Israel have equality and access to education that is not available to them in the Arab world.

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she is not happy that Arabs are democratically elected and represented in the Israeli government, and justice system and well represented in the educational system, civil service and professions.

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she is not happy with the equality in Israel while blacks, Christians and Moslems cross deserts by foot, fleeing from all across Africa in droves, to get to Israel where they know they will finally find equality, freedom and opportunity.

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she is not happy and prefers the ethnic cleansing of Jews and destruction of Jewish heritage sites, synagogues and cemeteries during 19 years under Jordanian Arab (unrecognized) sovereignty, and would prefer that that be the standard we strive for, rather than thousands of years of non-Arab sovereignty and 45 years of equality under Israeli government (that is enshrined as legal and unchangeable in the U.N. Charter, as well as British and American law).

I feel bad for Alice Walker, as she has chosen the hypocrisy of publicly refusing to allow her book to be published in Israel knowing full well that her royalties from the other publisher will not suffer for her actions.

I also feel bad for the Arabs and Israelis who are forced to endure constant security and checks to ensure their very physical safety because of some who would kill many if given the opportunity.

Mostly I feel bad for Alice Walker and those who have chosen either ignorance of reality and misleading bigotry and anti-Semitism over visiting and experiencing the reality of Israel.

United Church of Canada reeks of Anti-Semitism

When reviewing the proposed boycott motions of the United Church of Canada (“UCC”), I could not find those boycotts referring to Russia and China. That’s odd because in the rush for social justice by the UCC, they failed to notice that both Russia and China protect the continuing atrocities of the Assad regime in Syria by way of veto at the UN Security Council. Russia continues to supply heavy weaponry to Assad and his minions to enable slaughter of civilians and bombardment of cities, towns and villages. Never mind Russia's provision of material for Iran's nuclear weapon program.

China continues to shield its client state, North Korea, which oppresses Christians and continues to forge ahead with nuclear proliferation in conjunction with Iran. China oppresses Christians of all denominations, and other religious adherents as a matter of government policy.

There was no motion for a boycott of Egyptian products as Christian Copts are subject to everyday oppression and acts of terror. Nor was there any motion to boycott Northern Nigerian products as a response to the recent massacre of 20 Christians attending university church services.

I failed even to notice a trendy “left wing” motion to boycott US products because terrorists are held at Guatanamo Bay. Perhaps Obama could draft one with help from his Christian mentor, Reverend Wright.

But I did see a motion to boycott Israeli goods and any company that deals with Israel. Let’s consider why the UCC should need to attack the tiny sliver of a democracy whose citizens are under constant attack by missile attacks that replaced suicide bombing, that replaced regular bombings and shootings, that replaced hijacking, that replaced invasions, etc., etc. Why would the UCC assault the only place in the Middle East where the freedom of Christians to practise their religion is protected?

The UCC ignored the oppression, acts of terror and crimes against their Christian kin of Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and their eradication in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iran. Reeks of anti-Semitism

The UCC targeting a boycott at the only tiny Jewish state, a democracy in a region without another, based on a distorted report at best, and fabrications at its worst, whilst true atrocities are being committed in every other surrounding totalitarian state, smacks of anti-Semitism.

Most importantly, ignoring the oppression and prejudice suffered by Christians in the birthplace of Jesus Christ, Bethlehem now ruled by the Palestinian Authority and the eradication of Christians in Gaza, ruled by Hamas, yet seeking to boycott Israel, smacks of anti-Semitism. 

The UCC doth protest too much that it guards against anti-Semitism. This boycott action absolutely stinks of it.

A Tale of Two Leaders

The back pages of my local newspaper provided two articles side by side on Saturday and an easy comparison of the egos, courage and actions of two globally known leaders . Each leader was from a very different, yet democratic, country

Current US President Obama lauded himself because after dithering for months, he finally allowed US Navy Seals to eliminate Osama bin Laden, the butcher of more than 3,000 Americans, and as a targeted killing no less, without the mess of legal process. Obama’s belated decision to allow Seal Team 6 to put themselves in clear and present personal danger was apparently “courageous” because Osama was “hidden” a grenade’s throw from Pakistan’s “West Point”. In his own words, Obama is quoted as saying “I said we would go after Bin Laden if we had a clear shot at him. And I did.” This leads to an interesting train of questionning. Was Obama on the raid to Pakistan in person? Or did he confuse reality with the “video-game-esque” relay to the White House? Is “I” Obama’s favourite letter, pronoun, word or name? Why did Obama name the Presidential dog Bo using his own initials? At what point does allowing others to endanger themselves in pursuit of a mass-murdering terrorist become courageous? It is plain common sense.

On the same page, we saw analysis of the current Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, who actually was a Special Forces soldier. One of the few operations that Netanyahu is known to have taken part in, only because he was wounded, was the release of 90 hostages from a Sabena airplane hijacked by terrorists in 1972. We do not know what other anti-terrorist operations Netanyahu took part in but we do know that this a person who has laid his life on the line in defence of his fellow citizens. Netanyahhu also has an election coming up sometime in the next 18 months and whilst dealing with a clear and present existential threat to his people, yet there is nary a word from Netanyahu about his family’s loss of his elder brother or about the danger to his person whilst he served his country.

When choosing leaders, voters should consider if they want a contortionist who talks the walk whilst patting himself on his back, or one who has walked the walk.
