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.
