Can the war in Ukraine spark a world war?

The Russians are certainly using their nuclear arsenal as a threat to us in the West and we should take it seriously. Personally I highly doubt that Putin would really consider launching nukes and precipitate a nuclear world war. He isn't an Iranian mullah.  But do you want to take the chance that they are only bluffing? I don’t. Certainly not over neo Nazi Ukraine. 

 Zelensky is an actor and he’s continuing to act well. As I said in my previous post  Leon's: The World is Upside Down  , he is a puppet, no different from my PM in Canada, Justin Trudeau (a former drama teacher) and from Joe Biden (one of the most corrupt American presidents ever) and sad to say many other state leaders. Putin is a brutal thug, that we know and we could have easily stopped him by providing energy to Europe and ourselves. I keep hearing how the Russian economy is suffering right now but I don’t buy it. How can they be when they continue to sell oil and tons of it on the world market at record high prices? As I'm writing this the US is buying approximately 670,000 barrels a day from Russia! 

Biden and NATO leaders could have de-escalated the Russian invasion by promising (out loud) to Russia that Ukraine would never be admitted into NATO. Putin was demanding that concession for months or even years. The world leaders certainly knew that Ukraine was so corrupt that they couldn’t be relied on to be a trusted member of NATO. So despite the fact that most NATO members like the US were never planning on inviting Ukraine to join NATO and despite the fact that that was one of Putin’s primary complaints, NATO and Biden refused to make that announcement. Would it have averted this war? Who knows, but it would have cost them nothing to make that announcement!

That’s because the real puppet masters are Soros, Schwab, Gates, Zuckerberg and other billionaires along with many nefarious state leaders from China, Iran and other states who are in charge of the Great Reset, want a war and are de facto in charge.  Soros in particular wants a world war so he can profit from it. He learned that trick from his father. That's what happens when you have a vacuum in leadership. Like him or not, President Trump kept them in check. The many vile terror states were scared of then President Trump. That's a good thing. Our allies could trust him and they did. Another good thing. He helped to balance the real nefarious world players and my proof is that he was the first president in modern US history to keep America out of wars. The world was a much safer place for 4 years during Trump's presidency. 

When Obama was president, Russia invaded Crimea and no one said boo. North Korea was firing test missiles regularly. China was ever looming and getting stronger. Iran was partying it up with the cash and other incentives that Obama and his administration enabled. I never thought I'd say this but the Biden administration is even worse! Look where we are today. For no apparent reason Biden in his first few days as president cancelled the joint Canadian Keystone pipeline that would have brought tons of gas to the US and beyond. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians and Americans would have benefited immediately. With well paid jobs and low energy prices. It would have had a ripple effect across the world too. 

The silly girls like the dangerous Squad in the US and other Democrats and virtue signallers throughout the planet (recall little Greta Thunberg's plea for windmills and other pretty things?) demanded the Green New Deal where we stop eating beef, stop producing oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy? Biden, the puppet, of course acquiesced to their insane demands immediately! Now we (America, China and many other European states) are buying Russian oil and paying top dollar for it too (China gets a discount). I ask you: How does that help us clean up the planet? Short answer: It does not! All these fools and regular ignorant people who have swallowed that kool aid, now have blood on their hands, along with Putin and the other puppet masters. 

Predictably we will be shown horrific videos of Ukrainian civilians killed by the thousands as the Russians stop being ’nice’ in their previous IDF style attacks. If Zelensky was truly a hero he might have considered giving himself up in exchange for averting a war. Instead he is pleading for us in the west to establish a no fly zone over Ukraine and sending in more weapons in the hopes of starting WWIII with Russia. I can assure you that if an American anti-aircraft artillery or missile shot down a Russian jet, that could easily spark a world war with Russia. And with Biden in charge we’d lose! China would come to Russia’s aid and we’d all be finished. US generals would be concerned about providing better conditions for transvestite US soldiers while our enemies would be aiming at American nuclear missile sites. World wars spark easily like so many forest fires. Recall WWI!

Zelensky is also urging every Ukrainian to make molotov cocktails and to fight (women and children included). He won't let men of fighting age leave the country. He is forcing them to fight. Many of them have no military training. Some people might call this heroic. I call it irresponsible. The hundreds of thousands of neo Nazi militias are thrilled to take on the Russians. They have been killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine for years and now they get to fight the Russian military. In so doing they are endagering innocent Ukrainian civilians. Now we hear about the scary hit of Europe's largest nuclear reactor in Ukraine. If the Russians shelled it and they probably did (although who the hell really knows), Putin needs to die. But so do the reckless crazed neo Nazis who hopefully will also die in battle but who also encouraged many ill trained Ukrainian civilians to take up arms. Despite all the msm's rhetoric about how the Ukrainians are holding off the Russians, they will be squashed by the Russians. They are simply not in their league militarily. They are in their league as far as being corrupt however and probably more so. Also as I stated they are definitely more antisemitic. Let’s not forget a very big and important historical fact that is almost always over looked. Without Russia we’d be speaking German right now (if we’d even be alive). Hello, recall WWII? Between 20 and 27 million Russians died fighting the Nazis. We can't forget that little fact.

 

This one photo swayed the world to appease the arabs and import millions of unvetted Muslim migrants into western nations.

The videos and photo images that we will be bombarded with on TV are urged on by the puppet masters in the hopes to get our emotions stirred up and to draw up more support for Ukraine and for us to help them fight. It also acts as a diversion from real issues that we should be focused on, like WEF, China, Iran, North Korea and other serious issues that the US and other Western democracies should be dealing with. As I'm writing this, Iran is feverishly building up its nuclear arsenal because no one is watching them. All it takes is an image of a dead baby killed by a Russian and people start to act dangerously and irrationally. Do you recall the image above of a drowned toddler  on a beach in Turkey that sparked world outrage and in many cases guess who was to blame? Israel of course. 

Some have called me a supporter of Putin or worse, a supporter of Communism. Of course they couldn't be more wrong. I have written many articles about communist Russia. My mother survived the war in a gulag in Siberia and I remember all of her painful stories and speak of them often. Sadly so many of our young generation in the West has no conception of what Communism really is. Their extreme ignorance is dangerous for the future and the future is now.  I oppose dictatorships wherever they exist with all of my heart. I am urging people to think independently.  I have learned one thing for sure in the last few decades. It's that when a narrative is pushed by the mainstream media and our governments, I tend to believe the opposite. Or at the very least be suspect of it. Here is an excellent article on Ukraine and how we should be looking at things: Understanding Ukraine's Nazism I really urge you to read it. If you prefer to watch videos, here is another excellent clip, so worth watching: Was Putin's attempt to de-nazify Ukraine bogus? Perhaps after you do it will give you the knowledge and strength to push back against the mainstream media's constant demands to escalate this war and pull at your heartstrings for actions that could get us all in serious trouble. I  urge us all to help the decent Ukrainians (not the neo Nazis) by supplying them food, water, blankets, medicines and when possible help them get out of the country. But be careful who you donate to. Most of the money and other supplies we send does not get to the intended citizens. Remember that Ukraine is extremely corrupt! Urging them on to fight and calling them heroes is in my opinion not helping them or us. We need to take a big breath and calm down. Let's not jump into this please!

Why are so many Idolizing Zelensky and Ukraine?

If my dear mother, a Holocaust survivor, was alive, she would have this to say about Ukraine: 'Loz em brennan' (let them burn).

To help understand her statement, you might recall one of the most terrible events in WWII, known as Babi Yar. It's a deep ravine in the main city, Kiev in Ukraine. In 1941 in the period of just 2 days, almost 34,000 Jews were murdered there! Think about that number. And it was all done by men shooting at innocent civilians. A very personal way to commit mass murder. That was nothing like carpet bombing a city from the air.  As far as we know, that extreme murder rate had never been achieved until then. Of course the Nazis organized the killing. But it was the Ukrainians who actually did the killing. You see, the Ukrainians had such a blood lust for killing Jews that even the Nazis had to stop them. The Germans were in love with organized killing and documenting every 'perfect' thing they did. So when the Ukrainians were running around trying to murder every Jew they saw, the Nazis intervened and instructed them on how to do it efficiently and more organized.

Since then the Germans have laws (serious laws) against joining any neo-Nazi party. They have also paid out millions of dollars to Holocaust survivors and their families. The Ukrainians have literally gotten away with murder. 

Today, decades after the war, Ukraine has more neo-Nazi groups than any other country in the world! (Yet another world record) And they are not forced underground in any way. The largest of these, Azov, is unofficially part of their parliament. Many fools consider them to just be nationalistic. Although some members might be, most are thugs. Their flag is similar to a swastika and they are antisemitic to the core, just like their grandfathers were.

Azov flag

When Putin says he wants to de-nazify Ukraine, he's not lying. I have no doubt that we will soon be hearing of stories leaked out of Ukraine, blaming it's small Jewish population for the trouble they are in now. I already have heard some.

Ukraine is not a democracy and never has been. It is as corrupt as Russia or perhaps more so. Definitely more antisemitic. Since 2014, Ukraine has become the world's most popular money laundering state. Oligarchs run it mob style and chose the then actor Zelensky to be their presidential puppet. The WEF's Klaus Schwab bragged about helping elect him and his equivalent Canadian puppet Trudeau. Just about every rich and famous player has been to Ukraine. And came back with even more money. From Bill Gates to Joe Biden, from George Soros to the Clintons. They all know that Ukraine is open for business. Even the CIA opened deadly bioweapon laboratories there because they couldn't open them anywhere else!

I am sick and tired of  people (especially Jews) depicting Zelensky as a hero or worse, a Jewish hero. Zelensky is as Jewish as Bernie Sanders or George Soros.  Technically he was born Jewish but that's where it ends. He left his Judaism by the road side years ago.  He is no real friend to Israel and tolerates the neo-Nazis in his own government quite well. He does what his masters tell him to do and say. He has probably been paid off by Soros who is loving all of us Western nations spending billions to prop up this corrupt state and leader. Do you recall their capitulation to then VP Biden to fire their prosecutor who was looking at the fraud committed by the Burisma corporation who had Hunter Biden as a board member? They wanted the billions of US dollars from the Obama administration and would do anything for the money. So they did. Biden bragged about it on TV!  Here's a clip if you haven't seen it. Quite incredible: Joe Biden brags about firing Ukrainian prosecutor

To be sure, I'm no fan of Putin. He's a brutal dictator and I certainly wish that he hadn't invaded Ukraine. Many innocent people will die as a result, no doubt. But to see it from his view, Ukraine has a population of about 40 million people. About half are Russians! The other half come from various tribal factions like Ruthenians, etc. If you look at the history of Ukraine, it belonged to many different empires and states until recently. My father was brought up in a city called Lvov in Poland before WWII. Now it belongs to Ukraine under the name of Lviv. If my dad was alive he could tell us stories of how the people of the city would hunt Jewish boys like him down on the way back from school and beat them up. This was well before WWII. The neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine have been running roughshod on all Russian citizens and businesses there. I will include a video here where you can see it. These videos and my facts here are not typically found in the mainstream media (yet). But over time the truth does slowly leak out and you'll hear more about what I'm saying here. I urge you to watch this video, it will hopefully wake you up from the constant babble I hear 24/7 about how noble the Ukrainians are. Ukraine neo-Nazis.

Today on social media I see many people with a Ukrainian flag. I've read articles written by good writers (both Jews and Gentiles) who are piling on the backs of Ukraine and espousing how brave the people are and how wonderful Zelensky is. Why are we giving them this kind of false idolatry and PR? 

I view this war like I did when Iran and Iraq were at war years ago. Two evil states killing each other. Mostly I feel sorry for my fellow Jews who remain in Ukraine. It's hard to say how many they are but I can guess about 100,000 poor Jews still live there. If you want to help the cause, you should donate to organizations that help them.  I'm proud of my Jewish homeland, Israel who is already planning on sending planes to bring them to Israel. 

If we learn anything from this war it's that we (Jews and Israel) cannot rely on anyone else to guarantee our safety.

Calling Putin names won't help. 

Of course this entire war could have been prevented if President Trump was still the US leader. He had the US on a course of energy independence and strength. The US, Canada and even Israel could have supplied all the oil, gas and coal that Europe needed. But thanks to the cognitive mess we call Joe Biden, he undid all that and gave a pass to the Russian pipeline to fuel Germany and the rest of Europe. Israel discovered huge reserves of oil and gas underground and under its territorial waters in the Mediterranean years ago. The plan was to build a pipeline to ship it to Crete & Greece and then on to Europe. The Trump administration sponsored the project. But the Biden administration cancelled it. Strong sanctions now will hurt Russia and all of us as well. 

Israel needs to be very careful as to how it deals with this war. It has a relatively good relationship with Russia at the moment and shouldn't assume that it can jump on the sanction bandwagon with many other countries without risking some serious repercussions in Syria and elsewhere.

To sum up: I stand for my Jewish people in Ukraine and for all the good Christians there as well. I pray for their well being and I have donated money for them. I wrote this article because another narrative needs to be heard. You might not want to hear it, yet here it is. I might lose some friends over this but the situation isn't black and white. Most geopolitical events are complex. I don't consider myself an expert. I am not. But like most things in the news, a narrative is being developed by people we should not trust but people are caught up in that 24/7 news cycle and are quick to hop on the mainstream media's bandwagon.  I for one, will not lose too much sleep if Ukraine disappears. I'll leave it up to Him to decide how things play out there. I do believe in karma.... 

How ever one looks at the situation, it's certainly not worth risking a world war over, G-d forbid! Recall the events leading up to WWI. A Serb assassinated the Austro-Hungarian archduke. Because of various treaties signed by various world powers at the time (Britain, France, Germany and Russia) this small incident brought on the war! A brutal war that no one wanted. 

We are at a crossroads here too. We must be very careful what we wish for. Urging our countries to send troops and planes over there can easily spark something no one wants (perhaps except the WEF and people like George Soros). I am not an isolationist by any means. But we do have other means at our disposal to de-escalate this. Opening our energy sectors in the US, Israel and even my own country, Canada, to serve Europe and thereby cut out Russia is probably the best and most effective way. Of course electing strong principled leaders that are not corrupt is an absolute requirement as well!

Whoopi Goldberg, The Holocaust is Not Simply White on White Crime

After watching Whoopi Goldberg's speech on the TV show, The View, a number of times (how could I not- it was replayed over and over on MSM) I disliked it more and more, each time I watched it. 

It wasn't her insistence of Jews being a race. After all, there is much debate about that within our own faith. It was her comment about the Holocaust being nothing more than 'white on white crime'.  Sure on the surface, it might seem innocuous because the Nazi's were mostly white and most of the Jews in Europe were also white. An obvious exception was the evil Amin al-Husseini who was the leading Arab leader at the time. He helped Hitler by leading Muslim troops in Bosnia. I doubt that she even knows who he is. Or maybe she considered him white. But what does skin colour have to do with the Holocaust?

I and many others found it offensive. Why? Because the vile murder and attempt to exterminate an entire people (let's leave race out of it), the Jews of Europe, was not some minor incident. It wasn't 2 white guys fighting. To try to label it simply white on white crime is to insult the deaths of 6 million Jews. 

So why did she say it? Especially during Holocaust Memorial Week? What was the point she was trying to make? So what if it was white on white crime? If it was, that was certainly the least important aspect of the Holocaust. No doubt that one cannot find that description of the Holocaust in any of the tens of thousands of Holocaust books written to date. 

I think because it moved the focus away from her constant love affair with being a black victim (albeit temporarily). People like her, and there are many, have a need to constantly point out the injustices they face. Yes of course, there is obviously black discrimination in the world. But they are not the only ones being discriminated against or attacked. The statistics in practically every country in the world show that Jews have the highest rate of racist incidents committed against them. And unlike blacks, ours is trending upward. We are also a tiny fraction compared to the black population. The Jewish homeland, Israel, has been facing existential threats from her modern statehood, not to mention horrific terrorists acts committed on her Jewish citizens daily! The tiny Jewish population has been persecuted for thousands of years. 

This is not a competition for who suffers the most. To me it sounded like that was her beef. If so,  her point is somewhat nefarious. She has every right to stand up for her people and so she should and does. But she has no right to diminish the memory of the most abhorrent stain in humanity that happened to our people (my parents) in even the slightest way in order to try to make her point. 

If she said it out of ignorance I could forgive her easily. But she is not ignorant. She and her mother knew that giving her a Jewish sounding name might help her succeed in show business. Not sure if it did or didn't. But the point is she 'knows' who we are or at least thinks that she does. She even claimed to be Jewish at one point. Not that I approve of her lying about it but her general comments she makes remind me of the common rebuttal to an antisemite being called an antisemite 'Some of my best friends are Jewish'. 

Can you imagine what she would say if I said that slavery is nothing more than black on black crime? After all, the slave trade was mostly inspired and made possible by certain black tribes in Africa taking other blacks as slaves. One can argue that it was they who were the primary slave offenders. Had I been on the View and said that, you can bet that she would lose her mind over my comments as would the rest of the yentas there and I would not only be thrown off the show, but probably be charged with a hate crime. 

The next day she was interviewed by Colbert on the Late Show. She was trying to explain what she said earlier on the View. I'm paraphrasing: 'If I was walking along the street with a white friend and we ran into the KKK, I would have to run for my life but my white friend wouldn't.'

I wish I could have asked her: What if your white friend was wearing a kippah? Who would have to run away faster?

How myopic was her thinking?  I could also ask her what if I (a white Jewish male) was walking with my black friend) and we ran into a group of black thugs in Harlem? Chances are I'd have to run for my life and my black friend might not. But what are we to learn from any of these examples? Nothing!

Yet there are many things we can learn about her and others like her, from her statements and her digging in her heels via defensive 'apologies'. I am not calling her an antisemite because I don't think that she is one.  And even if she might be, her comments here don't prove that point. But I don't trust her to define what the Holocaust was.  Clearly she doesn't know.  Everyone needs to be very careful about the context used when discussing the Holocaust. Most people are. She wasn't.  At the very least, if you don't know what you are talking about, then stop talking. I sincerely hope that she used her 2 weeks off the show to learn about the Holocaust. Greenblatt from the ADL (not my favourite organization) should have offered to take her to the camps in Auschwitz and let her get an up close look at what the Holocaust was. Sadly I think she used her time off the show to get more PR for herself and make her case. She really is digging herself into a deeper hole. 

The real problem is that she has many fans. She is/was a famous actress and TV personality. Her fans (some at least) will no doubt buy into her ignorant statements that dangerously bordered on antisemitism. I'm glad that she was at least given a 2 week suspension. She deserved to face some sort of consequence for what she said. The Holocaust is sacrosanct.  How would she like a rule that people like her can't even say the word Holocaust just like many blacks have the rule that only they can use the N word?

Bari Weiss, Why are you shocked?

Dear Ms. Weiss,

You used to work for the New York Times (NYT) and recently quit after seeing the insidious antisemitism that is allowed to grow like fungus over there. Now you recently wrote a good article titled:

Stop Being Shocked - American Liberalism Is In Danger

I am not in the least shocked with Leftist/Liberal institutional antisemitism. They have a long record of hating Jews and attacking Israel. These institutions include the Democratic Party, the Mainstream Media (including the NYT), our educational system and others. The difference between you and I is that I have never been sucked in to believe their arrogant paradigms. Before I would have ever even applied to work at the NYT I would have researched their historical record on Israel and other Jewish matters. After doing that, I would have surely ran the other way. The NYT in particular had a hand in helping to forget about Jews being slaughtered and gassed in places like Auschwitz during the war. And for all these years since then, they have almost always sided against Israel and the Jews. 

So after a few years working at the infamous NYT you finally realized that the place is an antisemitic shit hole? Now you are telling us not to be shocked?

Perhaps you should remove your blinders alltogether and realize that the man you hate (President Trump) is your friend. He is the Jews best friend in the US right now and has been his entire life (this you too can and should research). 

I’m thrilled that you finally realized exactly who you were working for  and more thrilled that you are speaking out against them and against the big powerful progressive machine. But you still seem to be sitting on the fence. Why? You still have a Leftist style ‘hate’ for President Trump. Perhaps you have swallowed so much of the disinformation, lies and garbage being spoken and written by organizations like your previous employer that you are not even aware of it. 

As a journalist who’s now finally free of the tangled web of the NYT, I urge you to do what you do best and independently identify who the real Donald Trump is, based on his policies and actions. Please try to ignore his many mispoken words or words taken out of context. He is a man of action after all and has a great resume as President to prove it. Unlike you and perhaps myself, he is not the best communicator. He as much said so in his previous debate. But like you and perhaps me has courage. But he has it in spades! He also has an excellent instinct to do what is right, at the right time. I sure hope that this post reaches you in good time!

Best Regards,

Leon Kushner

Some Jews are the Cause of Antisemitism

I've been stewing about this topic for a long time now. If you are Jewish (like me) you might not want to hear it. I bet you can guess what/who I'm talking about.

No doubt we are a special people. We are often the leaders of various organizations, corporations and even countries despite our tiny population. In the US today, the Democratic party and the MSM (mainstream media) are trying their best to impeach President Trump. A duly elected president who not only did nothing wrong but did in fact does everything right. The economy is booming like never before. Job growth is through the roof. His foreign policy has made the world a safer place and has put America back on the map as the world leader it once was. 

The scary thing (especially if you happen to be Jewish) is that some of the leaders of this latest attempted coup are Jewish. Namely: 

Adam Schiff, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee

Jerrold Nadler, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee

Bernie Sanders, Senator and presidential candidate

George Soros, Chairman of Open Society Foundations

Micheal Bloomberg, Former mayor of New York City

Dianne Feinstein, Senator,

Brad Sherman, US Representative

Eliot Engel, US Representative

Debbie Wasserman Shultz, US Representative

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook

Jeff Zucker, CEO of CNN

Andrew Lack, Chairman of NBC News and MSNBC

Michael Cohen, former attorney for President Trump and convicted felon

I could go on but I'll stop here. You can see that these are powerful people both in government and in private business. Some are multi-billionaires. I'm sure that most of you either know these people or know the companies they run. Who doesn't use FB? I admit that some on this list are more active in the pursuit of kicking Trump out of office (like shifty Adam Schiff) while others are helping to do it behind the scenes or are helping to do it simply by denouncing him to their followers. In all cases they are certainly influential people. 

Now here's the point and why it scares me and why it should scare you. 

If I was an American who happened to vote for Trump or even someone who didn't vote for Trump in the previous election but likes the fact that he/she now has a good job and can finally afford to support their family and plans to vote for him in 2020, I would be extremely upset about this latest coup attempt to 'impeach' him based on pretty much nothing (again). Next year there will be an election and for those who don't like him, they can attempt to vote him out. That's how democracies are supposed to work. But as we all know, they are scared that he'll win again so the only way to get him out of office is to impeach him now, before the election. 

Now please re-read the previous paragraph and insert the word Gentile in front of the word 'American' in the first sentence. It's well known who some of the leaders of the coup are because they are constantly in the news. It's also easy to find out what religion these people are, thanks to the internet. So if I was that Gentile American who supports Trump and democracy I might start hating Jews. After all, it's these powerful Jews who are leading the charge to destroy the rule of law and throw out a sitting president. Even if I was never an antisemite before, I would consider becoming one now. That's partly how Hitler made his case. He pointed out to Germans that there are powerful and wealthy Jews running the show while the rest of the hard working Gentile citizens could barely make ends meet. This is how Holocausts start. 

Along with all of these powerful Jews there is the majority of American Jews who consistently vote Democrat including most non-orthodox Jewish rabbis. This group, for the most part, seems quite happy to follow the herd and go along with the latest impeachment scam. They are complicit. Again this fact is also widely available to the public. All it would take is some David Duke -like person to point this out to Americans and we (Jews) could be in big trouble. 

We need to distance ourselves from these Jewish leaders and instead support the wonderful Jewish leaders who do follow the Constitution and the rule of law. We need to denounce these terrible Jewish leaders now and make it clear to all Americans and people everywhere, exactly where we stand. And it sure as hell isn't with these self hating, dangerous Jews.

Was Trump Wrong to Suggest That AOC & her Buddies Should Leave?

If your were black and some racist member of Congress publicly stated that blacks are corrupt, powerful elitists who attempt to control the world and especially the US government and only care about themselves and money, surely there would be a united front condemning such behaviour. 

I don’t think anyone would object if anyone would demand that that congressperson be dismissed, charged and deported (if they came from another country). 

But as we have seen on multiple occasions, AOC and her gang of anti-American, antisemitic, anti-white, anti-male, anti-Christian friends (Ilhan Omar, Tlaib and others) have all been guilty of all of the adjectives I just listed including silencing dissent, voting for socialism, open borders, throw Israel to the wolves and many other dangerous and insane economic and security policies. And for the most part they have so far successfully gotten away with it. 

In particular the despicable things that have come out of Omar’s mouth would certainly cause me to chant ‘Send her back’. If someone wants me and people like me (Jews, people who support Israel and Trump) dead, then why wouldn’t I want her out of my country?

I agree with the president 100% on his political incorrect comment: Send her back. Does it sound like some of the comments made by many extreme leftists (like AOC et all) or right wing bigots? 

Maybe superficially. As we all know, president Trump has been called a racist and worse, every day of his presidency. Perhaps some of his comments and/or tweets were not presidential and one might even condemn some of his comments as possibly racist. But on this issue he is 100% correct.

When these congresswomen spewed nasty antisemitic comments in public, the mainstream media (MSM), the Democratic party and others for the most part were silent. When pushed by the American people to condemn their remarks, the party leaders refused. Again the MSM were quiet. But when the president called these women out for their antisemitism he is the racist.

I thank G-d that my neighbour to the south has a president who has the courage to call out antisemitism when he sees it. I can’t wait for the day when my Leftist, dangerous, nutcase PM in Canada is finally ousted and is replaced by someone with some smarts, wisdom and courage to take back our country. Dare I say someone  ‘Trumplike’ ?

The Silence is Deafening

Many of us Jews have experienced some form of antisemitism at some point. In Israel, the modern day Jew there rarely experiences the same kind of antisemitism that we in the diaspora do. Theirs is both better and worse. 

Worse because of the very real existential threats Israelis face every day simply because they are Jewish. When their children go to a discotheque they may never return home. When their children serve in the IDF they may return home missing arms or legs or again never even make it home. 

Better because they don't face the often over looked and sometimes even subliminal antisemitic behaviour that we in the West often face. I've certainly been subjected to it, right here in the freedom loving, liberal, democratic state of Canada. Both as a child getting beaten up because I was Jewish and as an adult who was denied jobs because I wrote in my resume that I lived on a kibbutz in Israel.

My good Israeli friend who migrated to Canada years ago from Israel along with his wife said that he wanted to bring his parents along. His father who suffered in the Holocaust and faced plenty of vile antisemitism in Poland prior to the war (what Jew didn't?)  told him that he's had enough with the goyim. So my friend moved here and had the pleasure of confronting our style of antisemitism head on. I befriended him because he was being attacked on all sides at work. By some of his co-workers and by his bosses. I helped represent him at hearings. In the end he was pushed out of his job. 

I mention this case because it's more common that one would think. These cases of antisemitism are not mentioned in the mainstream media. In fact they are not mentioned in any media (except for here). Why? Because they are so commonplace and because Jews don't like playing the victim despite that victimhood theology being the fad these days. After the Holocaust most Jews moved to Israel and built a thriving, beautiful country. With hard work and courage they made the desert bloom while simultaneously defended themselves from yet another possible genocide from their Arab neighbours. Of all the people in the world that could have played the victim card, surely those Holocaust survivors could have played it. They suffered what thankfully very few people in history have. They could have sought revenge. They could have sat on their asses and waited for people to help them with food, lodging, shelter, welfare. I doubt too many people would condemn them if they did. But they did not. The Jews like my folks who miraculously survived the worst event in modern history left Europe with their heads high and started new lives all over the world. With empty pockets and a will to live, most led successful lives, built families, households and business and thrived. Rarely did they ask for help and next to none ever portrayed themselves as victims once they arrived at their new homes. 

One of the things they learned first hand (whether they wanted to or not) was about antisemitism. Some of us learn about antisemitism from an academic point of view. I'm happy of that but learning about it from a book is not nearly the same thing as facing it in real life. A generation or two later and the yearning to really understand antisemitism and the fight to take it on, has waned. 

Today it has once again become so commonplace that it has gained a form of mainstream acceptance. One look no further than the most Jewish friendly country in the world outside of Israel, the United States. Mass shootings of Jews while praying in a US synagogue is certainly an obvious and painful example. More insulting however was blaming the most pro-Jewish president for that heinous crime.

Congress women Ilhan Omar who's photo was posted at my daughter's government office in Toronto for Women's Day 

And now we have many people in the US government who are blatant antisemites. To put it in perspective, there have always been antisemites in the US government and dare I say that there always will be. But I believe we've reached a new level. Three congresswomen, two of which are radical Muslims who have publicly stated in one form or another their wish to destroy Israel, too many senators to name, an attorney general and others who are running for president are all antisemites. One by one they are coming out of the closet to attack Israel, Israel's democratically elected PM and anyone who supports the Jewish State. 

Some prominent Jewish Democrats like Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz have spoken out against the antisemitic congresswomen Omar and Tlaib. That's great Alan. When they were first elected to congress in your party (the party of hate) you thought so naively that diversity is great. Jews like me thought that when you elect radical Muslims to government there is a strong chance that Jews will be attacked. You give your 3 minute speeches condemning them when you can get interviewed on mainstream media. But why are you still a Democrat party member, let alone vote for some of the worst Democrat leaders like Obama? Heck you were doing his advocacy for him for both his terms as an obvious anti-Israel president. I guess it helped your career because whenever there is any antisemitic event you seem to be the go to person to get interviewed on the news. 

Jewish Senator Chuck Schumer, who often has much to say about everything is silent with regards to his fellow antisemitic congresspeople. In fact he was no where to be found when Pelosi, the leading Democrat, was trying to decide what to do about the vile antisemitic tropes that kept coming out of the mouths of her recently appointed congress women. 

Jewish senator and G-d forbid, possible US president, Bernie Sanders defends these women. I wrote him off as a self hating Jew years ago and I was 100% right. There are many other prominent Jewish senators, and members of Congress and others in government who are also silent or almost silent. 

Why? The short answer: they are scared. One would think that after what the Jews suffered not too many years ago in Europe, that people of all faiths would come together to defend Jews from antisemites and fight hard to stop them in their tracks. But why should non-Jews attack antisemites when Jewish leaders do not? These Jewish 'leaders' are shameful in their collusion with these antisemites. They are a kind of modern day kapo. You know antisemitism has arrived not when Muslim congresspeople slur Jews in public, but when the Jews in their same party (as if I have to say it -Democrats) are silent and cowering in fear. The silence is deafening. 

It's Not a Good Time to be Jewish

To be clear, it's never easy to be Jewish. History has proved this in spades. But there were times when it was easier and times when it was harder.

I don't want to cry wolf just yet. After all, I am Jewish, married a Jewish wife and have Jewish children and children in law. I live in Toronto which is definitely a Jew friendly place to live compared to the many hell holes throughout the world where I could not live and my family could not live as Jews.

I have many non-Jewish friends here and they are all what I consider to be Righteous Gentiles.
Of course I have many more Jewish friends and family too. Some are left wing politically and some are right wing and some are apolitical all together.

Have I personally experienced antisemitism right here in Jew friendly Toronto? You bet I have. Even from a young age. But what we are seeing today around the globe is pretty damned scary. The ongoing existential war on our Jewish state is still in progress and the enemies seem to be ramping up. Just to be clear, they are not attacking Israelis. They are attacking Jews who live in Israel and anyone else who supports them. It's not about land. It's simply antisemitism of the worst kind.

The situation in Israel is scary especially given that their elected leader PM Netanyahu has been under investigation for years and has finally been indicted by his enemies on the Left. So rather than him being focused on Iran, Hamas, Syria, Russia, Hezbolah, the PA, the EU, the UN and too many other enemies to mention here, he has to fight off the enemies within and defend himself on frivolous charges like taking too many cigars as gifts. It's beyond disgusting. Like President Trump he is being attacked 24/7. I'm not even Bibi's best fan as I prefer Naftalie Bennett with Ms. Shaked and Ms. Glick. But even I see the attacks against this legitimate war hero, super intelligent and well spoken Jewish leader as beyond the pale. May G-d help him!

Looking at my neighbour to the south, (US) I find it no less disturbing for the Jews who live there. I thought it couldn't get worse than when Obama was in charge. But I was wrong. With powerful antisemites in top government spots like Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandrea Ocasio-Cortez, it's hard not to be concerned.  On top of this we have others in government who not only do not condemn these haters but instead support them. Some are even Jewish! Like Chuck Shumer and Bernie Sanders. The old  hag who is the official leader of the Democratic party, Nancy Pelosi wouldn't dare to condemn her appointees for their blatant antisemitic remarks. She probably planned to admonish them but was read the riot act by these young Muslim politician women and of course Pelosi went back to counting her money.

These powerful government leaders have been elevated to the status of rock stars. Look at the poster women on the Rolling Stone cover:

IF they are shaping the future (and they are) then the future is not bright for the Jews and certainly not bright for America and for the world. If you are Jewish and continue to support the Democrats in the States then you are committing suicide or at the very least making life for your children extremely difficult if not impossible.

The mainstream media like CNN refuse to call out their government representatives for their gross antisemitism. They are too busy on the witch hunt to impeach Trump. So who will? Some nobody Canadian guy like me? Hell yes but since I'm a nobody it won't count for much.

Look around the world for a moment and you'll find more of the disgusting same. Have you seen the floats in a parade in Belgium depicting religious Jews with big noses amongst rats and bags of money? Here's a pic:

The really scary part is that despite an absolutely pro-Israel and philo-semite in President Trump, the United States is in a dangerous place right now. The Democratic party who most Jews consistently vote for and who for the most part were rooting for Israel have now turned on Israel and turned on Jews. And no one seems to give a crap.

What Happened in Germany Could Happen in England

There are a handful of political parties in England. The Conservative and Labour parties dominate. Jeremy Corbyn, head of England's Labour party is a blatant antisemite. If you don't agree, then you are a combination of blind, deaf, dumb and you live alone. If there are any antisemites reading my article, I'm sure they'll agree. Current polls have the Conservative party slightly ahead. You can read the details here: https://pollofpolls.eu/GB  but here are some latest poll results by party: (blue is the Conservative party led by PM Theresa May, peach is Labour).






You can see that it's pretty darn close between Jeremy Corbyn the antisemite and Theresa May the appeaser. While May is still slowly trying to negotiate Brexit (England's attempt to leave the European Union -EU) Corbyn is busy trying to sway more votes his way. Many of the people are tired of the status quo. The official unemployment rate in England has dropped a bit from last year to about 4.1%.  But that does not include those who gave up looking for work (never does in official government stats). It also does not differentiate between well paid jobs be they professional or good trade jobs in construction or manufacturing vs cheap service jobs that pay minimum wage. For many years now England's middle income jobs have been disappearing quickly. That's why that segment of England's population has been leaving. Who's left? The super wealthy upper class which has a high component of wealthy immigrants like the wealthy oil sheiks from the Middle East. Who else can afford a condominium in London? The not so wealthy (aka the poor) form the majority of people there. Between 2010 and 2013 about 33% of England's population fell below the poverty line. Not sure what it is today, but suffice it to say that the majority of the UK are not happy for one reason or another (usually related to economics). I don't think that the trade unions are helping either.

That's why Jeremy Corbyn and his party have been gaining ground. When times get tough, people need to find a scapegoat to blame. How about them Jews? England has had their share of antisemites throughout history. Like most other countries in the world, especially those of Europe, Jew hatred is their specialty. Maybe they didn't have pogroms like in Russia or concentration camps like those established by Germany or maybe they didn't burn their 800 year old Jewish neighbours in barns like in Poland but England's brand of antisemitism was what one can say: is more subtle. The point is, antisemitism was always there and maybe took a short hiatus during and shortly after WWII. It was just waiting for the most opportune time to raise its ugly head. Corbyn is quick to make friends with all Muslims especially Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas. He's not stupid. He sees (as can anyone living there) that the Muslim population is the fastest growing population in the UK. As of 2017 there were over 4 million Muslims living there but that is just an estimate. There are many no go zones in scary Muslim neighbourhoods where no pollster would dare venture. While the indigenous  English birth rate is shrinking ever so quickly, the Muslim birth rate is though the roof. Of course many of these Muslim immigrants are no friends of the Jews. More votes for Corbyn. And to May's detriment, she keeps letting them in. Note to PM May: They won't vote for you!

Does this picture remind you of something? How about Germany in the early 1930's? Hitler promised a better economy and blamed the troubles they had at the time, for the most part, on the Jews. Prior to WWII most people throughout the world including the Germans themselves and even the Jewish Germans didn't give too much thought to Hitler and the Nazi party. Most were too busy trying to live their lives to even pay attention. Others thought that he was a nutcase and there was no way he'd become their new leader. Many of the German Jews who were mostly assimilated thought it best to keep quiet. Don't rock the boat for fear that there would be repercussions. Meanwhile quite a few Germans and others outside of Germany, liked what they saw and indeed helped him succeed.
To the shock and horror of most Germans (including Germany's Jewish population) and others throughout the world, Hitler did rise to power and we ended up with the Holocaust.

                                          Jeremy Corbyn

Likewise today in England most good people who despise Corbyn for his blatant antisemitism and other displays of racism don't take him too seriously. They just assume that he's too overt about his Jew hatred to win. Many of the Jews in England remind me of the Jews in Germany. They have focused on assimilation instead of focusing on their Jewishness. They have adopted a similar appeasement strategy of not speaking out and not rocking the boat. They and other's have attacked President Trump more than they have attacked Corbyn! The Conservative party and almost all the rest refuse to give serious thought about the slow but sure rise of Corbyn's Labour party and the racist danger it brings with it. The only exception is the UKIP party and the EDL (English Defense League) which although is not an official party, it is one of the few organizations that stands up to Sharia in England. May is far too timid to go face to face with Corbyn and call him a racist pig to his face in public and get the people's attention about him. But trust me, Corbyn is not timid at all.

I can see numerous scenarios whereby outside forces can make Corbyn win. To name a few: George Soros decides to throw a few hundred million dollars his way during his campaign (if he hasn't already). How about some other nefarious government interference from countries like Russia, Iran or China to name a few. It's not like that hasn't happened before.

I urge good people everywhere and especially the good people of England to wake up. Have we not learned anything from history? G-d forbid, what happened in Germany could happen in England! If Corbyn gets elected, England will fall apart. Unlike in Germany, there will be no magic economic boom. Getting rid of UK's Jews will certainly not help their economy. In fact quite the reverse is true.  When the UK falls, it will bring down most of Europe with it. Why am I the only person seeing this?

It's Shameful to Politicize the Tragedy in Pittsburgh

I have been admonishing my friends and others to stop politicizing this tragedy. Let’s not use this terrible murder to push a political agenda. No blaming Trump. No pushing gun control. Mourn for the dead. Pray for the wounded. Thank the heroes. Thank G-d we are safe. Try to use this as a learning moment. Teach our kids about our Jewish history replete with antisemitism. Many of our younger generation have thankfully never experienced it and therefore unfortunately don’t believe it’s real. It’s real all right. Ask the families of the dead and injured. Ask the rest of the congregants who saw and heard the whole thing unfold. A nightmare they will surely never forget.

It’s right out of the Holocaust book. Ask Israelis who face it every single day from their Muslim neighbours. 

Sadly I continue to see so many disgusting articles attacking Trump for this antisemitic attack. It’s all over the mainstream media. Even my local TV channels here in Canada manage to put this on Trump. Often they do it overtly and sometimes they do it subliminally. He never condemned the white supremacists enough. He didn’t distance himself from the KKK enough. His bombastic and rude style of leadership encouraged the divisiveness that prompted this terrible murder. He’s a racist. A misogynist. A nazi. An antisemite. Some have said that he took his time condemning this tragedy. You might have heard that some of the victims family members have disinvited Trump from visiting. Thankfully the rabbi got it right when he stated: Of course he’s welcome. He’s the president of the United States. 

Enough! What’s really insulting to me as a Jew, his behaviour toward our small nation has been far better than any previous president. I was no fan of Obama but had this tragedy happened under his watch I would never blame him for it. Antisemitism has been around forever. Get used to it. Learn how to deal with it. Figure out who our real friends are and who are enemies are. Today this was perpetrated by someone from the far right but tomorrow it could come from the far left. 

We must also do much more to secure our synagogues (and not just on high holidays) and other Jewish events and places. There are excellent organizations who do a wonderful job providing security like the JDL who would be happy to do so. It’s a mitzvah after all. So many individuals have security systems (camera based) for their houses that cost no more than a couple thousand dollars! Certainly a synagogue can afford that.

Last night I attended a vigil in Toronto in support of the tragedy in Pittsburgh. My daughters attended as well as thousands of others. Beautiful words were spoken. Despite the cold, it was heartwarming to be surrounded with like minded regular folk, most Jewish but some not. I tried to get as many of my Jewish friends and family to attend. This vigil was all about antisemitism today. If we don’t support its message in taking a stand against it, why should anyone else care about us? 

Vigil at Mel Lastman Square in Toronto

I was pleasantly surprised to receive beautiful condolence letters for this tragedy from many of my righteous Gentile friends (most I’ve yet to meet) who often read my blog and various posts. Despite this ongoing scourge of antisemitism which is the very reason that I am a Jewish activist, I continue to have faith in humanity!

G-d Bless!

So you like free speech?

So you like free speech, eh? I thought I did too but apparently my definition is different than many institution's that I have been corresponding with. For those who know me, you'd know me perhaps more from the letters I write rather than my blogs like this one. I write numerous emails per week to those who've done wrong and maybe a few who've done right. 

Sometimes I write my letters about a third party to a media outlet (ie. newspaper, etc.) in order to publicize the issue. Other times I write directly to the person or organization. Of course I don't expect to receive a reply. If I do, it's a bonus. Likewise if my letters aren't published, it's still all good. Hopefully they've read it. I usually send copies to my contacts so in any case I do get my messages out. 

I found out years ago after getting a reply from one of  my first emails that free speech can and is often abused. After chastising a university for employing a professor who was blatantly antisemitic right here in my country, Canada, I received a standard reply that went something like this: 'The administration at this university champions free speech and as such we don't necessarily agree with professor X but we stand behind his right to speak freely and allow freedom of expression. 

In that case the professor was teaching history while denying the Holocaust. I tried to tell them that I too champion free speech but what does that have to do with hiring professors who are teaching revisionist history and proudly lying about six million Jews who were brutally murdered by the nazis? That is not education. That is misinformation. Again I received the same pat reply. It was probably semi-automatically generated when they received a negative comment from me. 

Since that day I have received pretty much the same pat reply from most universities and other organizations both private and public. I can see that in some cases perhaps the situation isn't black and white. For instance there have been many cases of employees who are vocal racists or worse (they have committed race inspired crimes). 

My intention in writing to their employers, be they schools, government or private businesses is first to inform them. They might not know anything about the person. Hopefully if this is the case they will take appropriate action (ie. fire them). But instead I often receive a reply that goes something like this: 'Thanks for reaching out to us. What our employees do in their private lives is their own business. Have a nice day!' 

So if company X hires John Doe as VP of sales and John Doe posts 'I hate Jews!' on his Facebook page, that's ok. Except it's really not. There should be consequences for being a racist. One of them should be that you either keep your racism to yourself or else you might not be employed. I've certainly noticed (and I'm sure that anyone who is looking for a job lately would notice this too) is that how you behave on social media is usually scrutinized by prospective employers. If you are applying for a corporate job (ie. bank teller, IT, etc.) and their HR department finds you hanging a moon (baring your bum) on FB or calling blacks lazy in a rant on Twitter, chances are they won't be calling you back for a second interview. 

Here's a current example of my dialogue with the Provost of USC after I discovered that one of their professors taught his students that Israeli zionists were terrorists:

It has come to my attention that your professor Kang is teaching at the very least a biased, revisionist version of events and at worst a bigoted,antisemitic and anti-American ‘teaching’ class. I urge you to distance yourself from him immediately by dismissing him from USC.

Their reply to me:

Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.

Professor Kang has chosen to issue his own statement on this matter in which he said he was intending to foster a discussion about how and why groups and individuals are labeled terrorists. He said that the slide in question was written to “point out that national heroes of all types are called terrorists by their opponents.” 

As you may know, one of the core principles of any university is that of academic freedom. The views of our faculty members are not endorsed by the university; indeed, we sometimes profoundly disagree with them. Nevertheless, we protect and support their right to express those views.

So what can one determine from all of this? Far too often being a vocal antisemite or Israel hater (they are one and the same thing) is acceptable. It's a minor, overlooked blemish or perhaps its employers are even sympathetic. Jews are partly to blame for this cultural norm. Because we ignored it for far too long. Which means we accepted it. We gave the world a pass to condemn us. I can certainly understand it. We are so often physically attacked (recall the Holocaust) that mere words are much easier to swallow. There is also the 'let's not rock the boat' syndrome. And many more complex reasons. 

That's exactly why I do speak out and I'm speaking out here. I want this stopped. There are two standards. One applied to us and another applied to everyone else. I'm sick of getting the standard 'free speech' excuse when I point out what honest people would admit is plain out wrong. Yes I believe in free speech as much as anyone and I'll defend it until I die. If you want to accuse Israel of being an apartheid state and shout it out on the street, you are free to do so. As long as you don't obstruct traffic, are not violent and do it legally. But this scenario is far different from a racist teacher or boss who teaches his students or employees to hate. Those students who wish to pass the course and those employees who wish to retain their jobs are forced to listen to their BS. This is a clear form of abuse. 

I would love to see how a university president would reply if a professor at the school  would post 'Kill all university presidents' on FB. Would the professor get a free speech pass? I doubt it.

Do You Want To Change the World? Send an Email!

There are so many things that need changing. As a Jewish activist I read about all the injustices happening to us  right now on a daily basis. When I attend events concerning antisemitism or attacks on Israel, the most common question asked by the audience is 'What can we do about it?

There are many things that in fact we can do. Some are difficult, some are easy. From  enlisting in the IDF, attending rallies and events, making donations to like minded organizations, contacting our elected government officials, reading books and articles, learning about Judaism & Jewish history, studying Torah,  sending emails to those that need to receive them. And more...

I can tell you (you probably are already aware) that thanks to the internet, sending an email is by far the easiest thing to do. And if many of us send emails it can affect change. I've seen it work. It's usually a matter of volume. Depending on the issue, it may not take too many emails before a company or organization or person can change their actions. For some issues it may take less and for others it may take far more emails to even get a response. But it's relatively easy to do and more or less cost free (other than your time).I try to make it a point to send an email approximately 5 times a week. When possible I try to include my contacts in the BCC (blind carbon copy) address part of the email in order that they can read exactly what I had to say to our adversaries or friends. Often I will be nicely surprised by some of these contacts also writing an email to the same person I did about the same issue. We inadvertently compete with each other as to who wrote the better letter. It's inspirational.

All forms of social media are great for getting out your message. Short tweets or longer blogs like this can prove effective. I even learned how to make videos, hopefully effective ones. I made a satirical video years ago called 'Change the World' which contains subtle support for Israel. You can watch it on Youtube here.  Obviously videos take a lot more effort to make than to compose a short email. I often read about an issue that will push me to send an email (either positive or negative). The positive emails are just as important as they help to encourage good behaviour. Sadly I find myself writing mostly negative ones lately.

 For example, I recently read about Harvard University's intention to offer a course comparing the notorious 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion' to the scholarly work Eurabia. You can read about it here.  So I sent the following email to the president of Harvard U:

Dear President Drew Gilpin Faust: 

I just learned that Harvard is now offering a course ‘When the Elders of Zion Relocated to Eurabia: Conspiratorial Racialisation in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, 11/30/17, the Common Room) that equates the immense scholarship of Bat Ye’or with the notorious Russian forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  Are you in any way, shape or form trying to compare the two? 

Bat Ye’or spent years writing several scholarly works that should certainly be studied at school in order to understand how Islam from its beginning was a treacherous, murderous, nonsensical but dangerous ideology and how it has so far successfully undermined democratic states. Look at Europe for one tiny example. Islamophobia is a made up word. There is nothing irrational about fearing Islam. With billions of Muslims in the world today the world has become a dangerous place.

Antisemitism on the other hand is real. I’m sure even you can recall the recent Holocaust where over six million Jews were murdered in history’s most terrible way. No one needs to worry about twelve or so million peaceful and hard working Jews. Between the far right neo-Nazis, the far left violent antifa movement and of course the many antisemitic Muslims taking over the world, it is us, Jews who need to watch our back. Both from people who want to harm us and from institutions like yours who want to whitewash the truth right down to offering courses like yours. 

Some sites that promote letter writing, often contain contact email addresses and even offer sample letters that are meant as a guide for you to put into your own words before sending. One can develop search skills to find the email of the person they wish to send an email to. It's often simple enough. If you want to send an email to the President of the United States, search 'contact president of the United States'. You might have to type your letter in a form presented by the organization's website rather than a free format email.

Some might say that they can't write for beans. Spell and grammar checkers have come a long way and are often automatically at play. Besides it's the content that is far more important than the grammar and spelling. I'd rather have 100 letters with poor spelling and grammar than 1 perfect letter. It's usually about volume. In any case, the more you write, the easier it becomes. I myself am no writer but I manage to crank some out here and there. Writing sharpens the mind and your writing skills will improve over time. It's never been easier to take up the cause.

If computers are not for you, pick up a phone. No phone? Write a letter and stick a stamp on it. In some cases letters in the mail are taken more seriously than emails.

Write from the heart and write often!

Why I'd vote for Marine Le Pen

Maybe I'm a contrarian. But I must say that I'm sick of everyone attacking this brave woman. It's easy to attack people out of context. Most of the media attention about her is negative. Like they did with Trump, they simply ignored his scary and pathetic competition while attacking him. The media are treating her the same. She is attacked on anything she says or does whether good or bad.

Let us dig a little deeper, shall we?

All choices are relative. Her Left wing competitors will continue to take France down. As France sits today, it is in ruins. Economically bankrupt. Teetering on an implosion. Since their compulsion to bring in millions of Muslims from Algeria, Tunisia and other Muslim states France has steadily moved into a dangerous welfare state.
Her competition is so pathetic that they will continue to woo the Arab votes at all costs.

She is the only candidate who recognizes the danger of Muslim immigration. No one really knows the exact number of Islamic terrorists living in France due to all the no-go zones throughout the country as well as the indoctrination of political correctness for far too long.

France's standing as a prime tourist destination rests on the shoulders of the number of terrorist attacks. As that number increases (and under the current leadership it certainly will), the tourists will disappear.

She bravely distanced herself from her father's antisemitic views to the point of kicking her own father out of the party. She has gone after antisemitic members of her party as well.

If I was a Jew living in France, I would prefer to vote for her over the same old garbage that has turned France into a land fill. I'm not naive enough to think that either she or her party are my friend. But neither am I naive enough to think that the past governments (regardless of party) were my friends either.

The bottom line: I would rather live in a country that won't let anyone wear any religious clothing in public than to live in a country where I can wear my kippah in public but most likely I'd be dead by a Muslim terrorist before I got to safety!

Is Bannon an Antisemite?

Almost since the day Trump won, I’ve been told that his new chief of staff Steve Bannon is an antisemite and is a member of the alt right.

I’ve read this on Facebook, from friends via email, from various blogs and of course CNN won’t shut up about it. Heck even large left wing Jewish organizations like the ADL have accused him of this. 

I immediately smelled a rat but conceded that I'll reserve judgement until I learn more about who this Bannon guy is. My first thoughts were:

1. Why should we take the words of his ex-wife, words said during a heated divorce no less? And even if they prove true, does that absolutely prove that he is an antisemite?  When I sent my kids to camp, I wanted them to go to a Jewish camp. I wanted them to associate with other Jewish children their age. Does that mean that I’m a racist?

2. A little digging about him and I found out that he was a former naval officer, worked for Goldman Sachs and worked in the entertainment industry. So we learned that he bravely served his country and worked for a large Jewish firm as well as in an industry known for it’s Jewishness. I ask you, is that something a real antisemite would do?

3. I can’t imagine that the Trump administration would nominate a chief of staff without intense scrutiny. Trump knows that the world is watching his every move and it would be folly to make a huge blunder right at the get go.

A day later, a colleague sent me an article by one of my favourite pro-Israel, Jewish activists, David Horowitz on the Breitbart web site. Here it is: https://www.google.com/amp/www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/11/14/horowitz-anti-bannon-hysteria-more-evidence-the-left-has-lost-touch-with-the-american-people/amp/

Turns out that the ‘renegade Jew’ article was written by David Horowitz on Breitbart’s site about Bill Krystol who lead the ‘never Trump’ campaign. It had nothing to do with Bannon hating Jews whatsoever!

Today I read another article by Joel Pollak on Breitbart who is a religious Jew who worked with/under Bannon at Breitbart and made it clear that Bannon is a good friend to Jews, is a staunch defender of Israel and an American patriot. You can read it here: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/14/stephen-k-bannon-friend-jewish-people-defender-israel/

In summary, not only is Stephen Bannon NOT an antisemite, he is a philo-semite (someone who likes Jews), defends Israel and is a loyal American and a great man. If he wasn't being appointed chief of staff I would assume that he would successfully sue for defamation of character.

I guess CNN, the Times and the rest of the MM (mainstream media) and the lefty organizations (Jewish or otherwise) didn’t get the memo. TRUMP Won!  Despite their vicious, unrelenting attacks against him and any conservatives (and Israel), the American people saw through their BS and voted for him. Yet they continue to twist fantastic accusations at Trump and any of his staff or supporters in hopes of shooting him down. I would think that by now even left leaners would get tired of CNN and other MM hysteric nonsense. Their bias is though the roof. They have become a joke in poor taste. Not entertaining in the least and certainly can’t be taken seriously any more (if they ever could have been).

CNN, ADL and every other organization or person who accused Bannon or Trump of being an antisemite needs to publicly apologize to them both. But they won’t! I can name dozens of real antisemitic bastards who are part of Hillary Clinton & Bernie Sanders camps and the Obama administration as well. 

One last thing - Since when does CNN or the Times care about antisemitism or insignificant events like the Holocaust anyways? All of a sudden they are our best friends (for the moment).
