Re; Globe Sept 28th - Simpson on Harper and Israel

Simpson's analysis is only a partial truth that agrees with his prior opinions and prejudices. First, it is very questionable whether anti-semitism has recently increased in Canada. the Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism said it did, but their conclusion seems to have ignored many of the most important contributors to their process. This doesn't directly relate to the popularity of Israel but the proof of its growing unpopoularity is certainly not there. Secondly Simpson assumes that Harper does not take into account citizens' opinions because there are more Muslims than Jews and Muslims vote 88% against him compared to Jewish 52% for him. But Simpson here has completely left out the majority of Canadians who are Christian and other religious minorities such as Hindus. Are these two religious groups irrelevant to Harper or only to Simpson? It is possible therefore that Harper takes their important views into account; it is not a black and white situation for him; and it is driven by both personal conviction and political calculation. In any case, as usual, Simpson has negatively prejudged Harper and his ability to see more than one side of an issue. Harper is much too smart a politican and much too moral a person to do that

NP Sept 28th

Are the words headlined in today's National Post "I will not be punished if I cheat"
those of our students or of Mr. McGuinty of the Ontario Liberal Party

Saudi's are improving

Ah yes the Saudis are getting soft. First they allow women to vote in 4 years and now they have given a woman only ten lashes for driving. Women's lib and our progressive thinkers should certainly congratulate the Saudis on making some steps towards modernization. Perhaps a Noble Peace Prize would be appropriate. Do you think that they gave her ten eye lashes so she could see better while driving?

An Independent Palestine

Suppose Netanyahu was truthful and told the quartet that not only was there no chance of a negotiated Paletininian state

but if such a state came into existence the Palestinians would train Muslims who are now living inside their borders to become terrorists against their own country while preparing for terrorist attacks against Israel? Would they still support an Independent Palestine?

Saudis and women

Tasha Kheiriddin in today's National Post credits Saudi Arabia for giving women a municipal vote in 2015. Hello? That is 4 years from now, giving the Saudis lots of time to change their minds. It is such a small step. It is like applauding an alcoholic for saying he will start drinking at 8:00 a.m. instead of at 7:00 a.m. in four years. A real step forward is taking a positive step now. The Saudis have done nothing except look for sympathy. Let's not applaud them for it. Let's continue to tell them that their moral standards and customs are inferior to ours - that's right, much of their morals and culture is inferior to that of the "infidels".

Negotiations with Fatah

Reasons I believe that negotiations between the Palestinians and Israelis will
not result in a peace agreement.


As long as the Palestinians believe that they should have a right of return, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinians believe that Israel should not be recognized as an independent state, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinians believe that a peace agreement is a hudna agreement, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinians believe that "negotiating" an issue means to have the Israelis concede the issue, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinians continue to teach their children to hate Israel and Jews, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinian media and Palestinian imams spread hatred among Palestinians, negotiation is senseless



As long as Palestinians insist on Jerusalem as their capital and believe that Israel has no claim to Judea and Samaria, negotiation is senseless



As long as the Palestinians use the terms West Bank, settlements, occupation and border instead of armistice line, negotiation is senseless,



As long as there is a Partnership between Hamas and Fatah, negotiations are senseless



As long as it is likely that Hamas would win an election in the West Bank,negotiations are senseless

Re NP article Translator shut out of Canada Sept 27th

Although every Afghan and everyone else is a potential spy, the odds are strongly in favour of his being what he says he is - a Muslim with a strong work ethic and commitment to capitalism and democracy. He has already proven his worth by providing excellent and courageous service to Canada. He is exactly what Canada needs. I vote for allowing him and his family into Canada as very welcomed new immigrants

Ezra Levant

It seems like Ezra Levant's criticism of the Saudi's non-ethical oil has caused them to give women the vote in the municipal elections. It is amazing what a little criticism of Arab customs will do. We need much more of it. Ezra Levant has now done more for the women's movement than all those women's liberation movements have done for the past 100 years. Imagine Ezra being women's best friend. He is better than chocolate. What is the world coming to?

George Jonas, NP Sept 24/11

George Jonas in the NP of Sept 24th/11 also said that "If there's a person on Earth who thinks that the Palestinians should not have a state I haven't heard of him or her yet. "

Now he has. Me. Why should a group of people who do not differ from the people in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt etc and many of whose ancestors came from those countries have their own state especially when those people who call themselves Palestinians believe in honour killings, oppressing gays and women, suicide bombings and promoting the destuction of Israel. And for George's edification, there are many, many people who agree with me. You heard it first here George!!!

National Post - sept 24/11 - A30

George Jonas in his op-ed says "there's no Palestinian state, while the Jewish state has existed for over 60 years". Really? What about Jordan? What about the now free Gaza? What about the fact that there is one Jewish state and many Muslim Arab states - all of whom have exactly the same culture and are made up of exactly the same people as the Palestinians. It's a shame that the Palestinians' combination of "pity me" combined with widely inaccurate evil propaganda about Israel has even Jonas believing in their lies. It's a shame to see Jonas promoting a state that is known for its hatred of Israel and Jews, honour killings, oppression of women and hays and suicide bombers.

letter to National Post re veil and burka sept 24/11

If, as letter-writer Mansoora Rauf says, the veil is to prevent women in Muslim countries from molestation, then we certainly should not allow any males with that culture into Canada. Canadian women do not need veils to prevent molestation and we do not want men in Canada whose culture makes it necessary for Canadian women to wear a veil. This is a perfect example of why multiculturalism doesn't work. Our culture that respects women is better than their culture which does not respect women.

Letters to Globe re Judea and Samaria

Contrary to the opinion of Colin Proudman, the real raodblock to peace is not the word of the Bible that says that Israel will get all of the Holy Land including the West Bank, Gaza and part of Jordan, but the Islamic idea that all territory that was ever conquered by Islamic warriors forever belongs to Islam. Note that this includes Israel, Spain, and all of eastern to the gates of Vienna. According to Islamists, "After Israel, the world". Are Globe and Mail letter writers prepared for that?



John Lawrence compares the West Bank to an Island whose economy is based on harvesting seabird guano. It is a good comparison as the West Bank harvests social guano in the form of hatred of Jews and Israel, honour killings, oppression of women, suicide bombers, and the oppression of gays.

erna Paris' advice to Israel

Paris's opinion is very similar to the opinion that police used to give women - that is - if you think you will be raped, don't yell or fight back, just submit and hope the rapist doesn't kill you afterwards. That is the same as Paris's advice to Israel. However the Palestinians not only want to rape and kill Israel but they want to destroy her reputation before they do so. Paris' advice is great advice from someone who obviously doesn't care about Israel. Israed should fight back. Israel should kill the rapist before her reputation is ruined and she is attacked and destroyed.

Response to letter writer distinquishing gays and their actions

If the Catholci Church is to distinquish between gay persons and their acts they should in all fairness treat heterosexuals similarly. Sex according to Catholic tradition, is for procreation - not for pleasure. The Catholic Church should therefore restrict sexual acts of homosexual couples where the woman has passed menstration, say all couples over 40, all single persons, and of course all those who use contraception. As the church does with gay couples, the priest should enter all couples' houses to ensure that there is only one bed - and not a double bed - in each bedroom. The priest must also ensure that all reading matter found in the homes does not involve any of the above forbidden sexual actions or loving couples over 40 years old.

Jonathan Kay and Ethical Oil

Jonathan Kay of the National Post has unfortuantely done it again. One of his bad arguments is that Saudi oil, if not bought by us "will be bought by someone - every last drop of it." This is a great argument for the individual or a state to do nothing - to absolve oneself of moral responsibility. One person or one state can make a difference as is shown continually by the stands taken by Prime Minister Harper and various Canadian citizens like Ezra Levant. We Canadians should support our ethical oil - it is the moral thing to do and each of us must be responsible for our own actions or lack thereof.

Palestinian state

A Palestinian state will support wiping out Israel, oppression of women and Christians, honour killings, killing of gays, racism in the exclusion of all Jews, and of course suicide bombing against Israel and other countries. Why do we want to promote such a state?

Palestinians and UN

The Palestinians are not ready to be reasonable. They want to see what concessions they can get out of Israel before applying for state status.

Consevatives vs. Liberals

There are three major differences between the two parties

1. energy - the Liberals will kill our economy with their green energy policies. The Conservatives will look at nuclear, oil, and even our abundant coal before wasting our money on windmills and far away solar power.



2. The Conservatives won't overpay and overuse union workers to the detriment of our economy and fairness to the private sector.



3. The Conservatives believe in a multi-ethnic society based on our current values and culture - not the Liberal idea of multiculturalism that says that all cultures are equal and would allow harmful cultural practices because they were practiced in an immigrant's native country.

Fulford National Post Sept 17th, A24

As usual Robert Fulford's article is excellent. But it brings out many thoughts. The Arab lands that created Jewish refugees has now succeeded in making the Palestinians permanent refugees. They seem to be good at that. In addition there must be a realistic comparison of the culture of the Israelis who are democratic and free, with the Palestinians whose charter, school books and media calls for the destruction of Israel, who have made selling land to a Jew a capital offence, who believe in honour killings, general oppression of women and killing gays, who have forced Christians from their homes and businesses, who admire suicide bombers and who have generally acted beyond the pale in social and family matters. Why would we want to give these people their own state?

National Post - sept 15 Jonathan Kay

Uncle Tom Kay. Kay's argument is weak. First he says that the professor is Jewish - as if being Jewish means you can't be anti-semitic - a proven false statement. Then he heads his op-ed with the words Bubbie and Zeyda as if again saying - "look guys, I too am Jewish so I can't be supporting an anti-semitic professor. Lastly, what other excuse can the professor and university say other than he was using it as an example? I am not convinced of the professor's lack of anti-semitism. We all know that York has a record of allowing anti-Israel and anti-semitic activities on campus. Surely a reasonable professor would either not have thought of the example he chose or if he did, would have chosen another one. Why didn't he chose a less evil opinion? Why did he go for shock value? Why did he use an anti-semitic example that now relates to the Holocaust? Something is wrong here Mr. Kay! Suppose the same professor had gone to the Toronto Airport and yelled "Don't say, THERE IS A BOMB IN THE AIRPORT?" Would our legal system be lenient and understanding of his intent?

Uncle Tom Jonathan Kay, in an attempt to whitewash antii-semitism, has jumped on the issue without considering the facts. There was anti-semitism involved here - on one level or another - and the professor's and the university's weak excuses should not be accepted.

Globe editorial sept 13th

Glad to see that the Globe opposes Palestine (or Judea, Samaria and Gaza) being a state for UN purposes.However it is not news that someone in the NDP supports the Palestinians' aggressionand stupidity, or for that matter, other stupid, harmful, and impractical ideas.

letter re editorial of National Post Sept 13th

At a time when we are having difficulty distinquishing between immigrants who will be good Canadian citizens because they will integrate with our society, and those who will never intergrate and be detrimental to us and our culture, we are presented with Afghani refugees who have proven their dedication to our values and their support of Canadians. They will be good Canadian citizens. Surely we should let them into Canada as a thank you for their help and on humanitarian grounds. If this means that we must restrict or postpone other immigrants, then so be it. It is not a high price to pay.

Gilad Schalit

The Schalits have succumbed to the Western mindset of distinquishing between Hamas, Fatah, Islamists, and those that support them. They are one and the same. Canadian pressure should be applied, not to Israel, but to Hamas and their supporters,
Fatah, Iran, Syria and the United Nations. The latter completely funds Hamas. Without U.N. aid, often given via UNRWA, Hamas would not be able to supply its people with food or attack Israel. To have their son returned safely, the Schalits' target should therefore be the U.N., the only ones who can realistically apply pressure to Hamas. As the western world's moral leader,in protest, Canada should withdraw funds from UNRWA and the United Nations.
