When those sworn to destroy you,Communism, Socialism,"Change you can Believe in" via their rabid salivating Mongrel Dog,Islam,take away your humanity, your God given Sanctity of Life, Created in His Image , If you are lucky this prayer is maybe all you have left, If you believe in God and his Son,Jesus Christ, then you are, despite the evils that may befall you are better off than most.

Lord, I come before You with a heavy heart. I feel so much and yet sometimes I feel nothing at all. I don't know where to turn, who to talk to, or how to deal with the things going on in my life. You see everything, Lord. You know everything, Lord. Yet when I seek you it is so hard to feel You here with me. Lord, help me through this. I don't see any other way to get out of this. There is no light at the end of my tunnel, yet everyone says You can show it to me. Lord, help me find that light. Let it be Your light. Give me someone to help. Let me feel You with me. Lord, let me see what You provide and see an alternative to taking my life. Let me feel Your blessings and comfort. Amen.

"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Climate change campaigners spark fury with video featuring exploding children

Daily Telegraph
October 02, 2010

A CLIMATE change campaign video made by Love Actually writer Richard Curtis sparked fury after it featured children being blown up, the (London) Daily Telegraph reported Saturday.

In the four-minute video a teacher is shown blowing up two schoolchildren with a detonator after they display little interest in a project to cut carbon emissions, the (London) Daily Telegraph reported.

Former soccer star David Ginola and The X-Files star Gillian Anderson were also given the same treatment.

The film, which is part of a 10:10 climate change campaign, was posted online but withdrawn within hours after a barrage of outrage, especially from climate change sceptics.



Curtis, who is famous for sugar-sweet films such as Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, is a big supporter of the campaign which aims to cut carbon emissions by 10 per cent.

A spokesman for the campaign organisers said: "We have discussed our decision with Richard and he is happy for the film to be withdrawn. We wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines while making people laugh.

“Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn't and we sincerely apologise to anybody we have offended. As a result we've taken if off our website."

This Video is an insight into the mindset of the Enviro NAZI's,Gore, Brown, Wong,Oakeshott,Windsor, Gillard,Combet,Turnbull,Rudd,Hussein Obama, the Clinton's to name but a few, no wonder Bin Laden has joined their Islamo Fascist Enviro Nazi cause, both cults /ideologies enjoy blowing up children and adults who disagree with their cults belief's.

Paedophiles of the mind, standing in front of every classroom,wearing the United Nations cloak of peace and understanding,Unionism,love and tolerance, whilst they busily go about infecting and intimidating our children with their sick perverted cult of "Anthropogenic Global Warming" and "All Cultures, Religions are equal" & “Multiculturalism” so long as its not Judeo Christian Western Democracy.
There was time when all school teachers wanted to was sexually abuse our children, now,bored with that, they want their minds as well.

Australia: Alan Jones interviews Janet Levy on her American Thinker article, The Narrative of Defeat.

 

The Narrative of Defeat

By Janet Levy
American Thinker
May 09, 2010

It is now life-threatening to criticize or mock Islam in the United States of America. The creators of South Park, Viacom, and anyone associated with the production of a recent episode portraying Mohammed in a bear suit would have potentially risked life and limb if they had broadcast the original cartoon sketch. In a manner eerily reminiscent of the Danish cartoon jihad, a Brooklyn-based Muslim group called Revolution Muslim posted a threat to South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker for their "outright insult" to the prophet.

"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid, and they will probably end up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show," read the post. Theo Van Gogh was the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim for producing the film Submission, critical of the treatment of women in Islam. Like Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, and targeted infidels before them, life would have been reduced to an unending fielding of threats and the heavily guarded jockeying between safe houses for those associated with South Park if the episode had aired unaltered.

Alan Jones Janet Levy, Radio 2gb Sydney May 14 2010

The incident underscores the unceasing efforts by Islam to silence opposition and criticism in order to advance the establishment of a worldwide caliphate under Shari'ah law. Despite incidents like these, we in the West continue to react to Islam as if it were merely another variety of religious faith. Descriptions of Islam as a "religion of peace" and as "one of the three Abrahamic faiths" proliferate, obfuscating the need for further study and shielding the immutable, intolerant, militant, murderous doctrine from discovery. Although it's been almost nine years since 9/11, the level of knowledge and understanding of Islam is staggeringly low among the general population, let alone those sworn to protect us -- our military and intelligence services. At a time when the Western world should be intimately familiar with the concepts of jihad and dhimmitude, as well as the provisos of Shari'ah law, we are lulled back to sleep with platitudes of peaceful coexistence and shamed with charges of "Islamophobia" if we question the motives, demands, or practices of adherents to the Muslim faith.

Quite illogically -- given the sequence of events from 9/11 forward -- the very act of exhibiting fear or suspicion of Muslims is dubbed a "phobia" -- an irrational fear. This, after nineteen Muslims hijacked planes and flew them into buildings, exacting massive carnage in the name of their god, and afterward, their coreligionists feted the deed. The carnage has continued nonstop since then in other countries. In 2002, Muslim jihadists set off three bombs in Bali, killing over 200 people and wounding 240. In 2004, Islamic practitioners orchestrated a series of coordinated attacks against Madrid's commuter train system,  claiming 200 lives and injuring 1,800. The following year, suicide attacks in London's public transportation system during the morning rush hour resulted in 52 deaths and 700 wounded. In 2008, Muslim terrorists held India's most populous city hostage for three days with a string of more than ten shootings and bombings at a hospital, cinema, college, and Jewish center that left 175 dead and over 300 injured. These are just a few examples among hundreds of recent attacks by Muslims worldwide.

Yet we in America shrink from charges of Islamophobia and fail to acknowledge our righteous apprehension of unthinkable acts of evil in the name of a vengeful and certainly not peaceful god. We allow ourselves to be censured and plead guilty as charged of Islamophobia for scrutinizing the activities of Muslims and placing blame on the canons of Islam. The joy and celebration from Muslims across the world following the mass slaughter and destruction of 9/11 should have put us over the edge and strengthened our resolve to eradicate followers of this deadly belief system. Instead, we exhibit suicidal insanity in our failure and unwillingness to connect the dots of Islam, jihad, and Shari'ah. We dither, apologize to the enemy, and shrink from rightful condemnations of their holy books, their religious practices, and their legal code.

No other religion on earth exists with a holy book dominated by hatred toward non-believers. The Islamic trilogy -- the Koran, the Sira (or biography of Mohammed), and the Hadith (the words and deeds of Mohammed) -- requires jihad, the killing of infidels, as the highest form of devotion to Allah. Islam is a theo-political-legal doctrine whose primary focus is not on the "goodness" of Muslims, but on others -- evildoers who do not share the Islamic belief system. Certainly the Old and New Testaments offer their fair share of brutal passages, but the practices described within those passages haven't been in evidence for centuries. The brutal practices contained within Shari'ah law are practiced today throughout the Muslim and non-Muslim worlds, even in the United States.

Christians suffer through confession and acts of repentance for untoward acts that hurt others. Christians aspire to exemplary kindness and service to their fellow man for the privilege of escaping a hellfire-filled afterlife. Jihadists are awarded a guaranteed place in heaven and the promise of great reward for the holy act of murdering those who don't believe. While Jews practice "tikkun olam" -- repairing the world -- and perform "mitzvoth," or good deeds, devout Muslims pray to Allah for inanimate objects like rocks and trees to alert them to the presence of dastardly Jews. They pray, "O Muslim there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him." Muslim world leaders and clerics routinely call for the death of non-Muslims. Has anyone ever heard a Western prime minister, president, rabbi, or priest call for the annihilation of a country or for the destruction of practitioners of other religions?

The Koran contains over four thousand verses of enmity toward non-believers. Over 63% of the Koran instructs Muslims to hate and avoid any association with non-Muslims. It teaches that non-Muslims should be held in contempt, killed, beheaded, humiliated, raped, enslaved, converted, or forced to pay the jizya or dhimmi tax. Eighty-five percent of the Sira -- the biography of Mohammed, the ideal man or moral icon for Muslims -- has to do with his battles against kuffars, or non-believers. This is a far cry from "Jesus died for your sins." Islamic teachings laud and require lying and deception, "taquiya," to advance the "ummah," or Islamic community. While Jews and Christians honor the Golden Rule, turn the other cheek and practice tolerance and inclusiveness, Muslims learn how to fight the Dar al-Harb, the infidel world of war, and practice the artistry of duplicity not only with impunity, but also with the highest praises from their god.

Let's not lull ourselves into complacency by citing that out of 1.57 billion Muslims worldwide, many are secular or have little knowledge of Islam. Although this may be true, that still leaves, conservatively, 10% to 15% (upwards of 235 million) of devout Muslims or jihadists who fit the description of submissive and intimidated, witting or unwitting enablers. As Mark Steyn astutely observed in America Alone, a "dominant minority" is the sole requirement for global jihad to take hold. In Mumbai, the carnage wreaked was caused by just ten people over three days. Nineteen hijackers were able to commandeer four passenger planes and murder three thousand Americans on 9/11. It doesn't take huge numbers to institute evil. In Nazi Germany, Hitler didn't win popular support in the country, but he pushed through his genocidal agenda as a passive, fearful populace looked on.

In our free society with a tradition of openly criticizing everything, even the sacred, it has now somehow become unacceptable to criticize Islam and the heinous actions of many of its practitioners. Yet it is perfectly acceptable to criticize Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion, for that matter. In 1989, "Piss Christ," an offensive photograph of a plastic crucifix submerged in a container of urine, was prominently displayed at a museum and won a U.S. government-funded award. While members of Congress and clerics condemned the sculpture in the media, the most egregious responses were from a museum patron who attempted to dislodge the photograph from the museum wall and a pair of teenagers who attacked it with a hammer. By comparison, in 2005, when editorial cartoons depicting Mohammed were published in a Danish newspaper, the Muslim world erupted into violence that claimed over one hundred lives and destroyed property worldwide, including four Danish embassies. Instead of reinforcing the Western value of free expression and severely punishing the actions of destructive Muslims, Westerners apologized for giving offense, censored the display of the cartoons, and cautiously monitored any future examination or critique of Islam.

Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna said,  "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet." The work of the Muslim Brotherhood in America is "a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions."

It is now five minutes to midnight in the global jihad that endeavors to destroy us and establish a worldwide caliphate under Shari'ah law. Instead of standing our ground and asserting the supremacy of our values, our fear and submissiveness have taken root to hasten our defeat. Will we wake up and face the enemy head-on before it is too late and all is lost?

Dear Leader Kevin Rudd one year on.



Hello my loyal constituents,

Can I just say, thank you for celebrating with me the first anniversary of my Government.

And you know something? As I travel the world, I passionately believe you got it right when you voted for me, for an education revolution, for new directions, new leadership, fresh ideas, fresh thinking, and several of my other cliches.

What are some of my favourite achievements? The bottom line is this:

  • Hosting the 2020 Summit, starring Cate and 999 other "average" Australians – I found it so rewarding that I took decisive action and announced at least 168 more reviews, committees and inquiries.
  • On the question of taxpayer-funded travel, I'm lapping it up. In just 12 months I've spent the equivalent of almost two months overseas!
  • Fresh ideas like our unlimited bank guarantee, and telling those who consequently can't access their non-bank savings to "go to Centrelink".

My challenge to you is this: visit my memorabilia website at www.RUDDSHOP.com (where the buck really does stop with me) and show your heart-felt appreciation for 12 long months of Labor.

Your Dear Leader,

Kristallnacht :Seventy years after

I post the following post in the interests of HUMANITY.

To not acknowledge and remember the following and similar acts of inhumanity committed by the Nazi's and others, against the Jewish people,then and now,is,in my opinion,an acknowledgement of the success of the collective Humanist lie, that has manifested the Socialist's "New Man",aka.the United Nations 21st Century, Godless savage who lies dormant in nations all over the world ready to strike "Jews" whenever their "Messiah's", " The One "declare them an obstacle to their objectives or the reason for the failure of their ability to deliver the perfect Socialist world of International Socialism.
Aldolf Hitler and President elect, Mr Barack Hussein Obama are both former and present leaders of Socialist political party's.
Both these men have enunciated their respect for the objectives of Islam and their right to know what is best for men and women the world over and what they do and do not want or need, both these men were proffered as the answer to their respective nations real and perceived economic and social problems,the world knows what the last great Socialist leader cost the world, President elect Mr Barack Obama has not said anything that would make anyone who knows of or can remember the works of the worlds last great Socialist sleep easy at night.... oh you think it's just whats left of the Jews who are gonna feel the Socialist heat / cleansing of the Messiah's "The One" new order ?
OKKKKK ENJOY!!! and start practicing how to bend over and start kissing your arse hole good bye.. Jew Catholic Anglican Protestant,Hindu,Mormon,Pacifist and Homosexual, Black,White man or woman you are worth nothing more than what the "Party" decides you are worth at any given hour or minute of the day.

"Socialism means equality of income or nothing...........Under Socialism you would

not be allowed to be poor.


You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught and employed whether you liked it

or not.


If it were discovered that you had not character and industry enough to be worth all

this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but while you were

permitted to live, you would have to live well."

KRISTALLNACHT


SEVENTY YEARS AFTER KRISTALLNACHT
THE WORLD REMAINS SILENT
Baruch Cohen

In loving memory of Malca z”l

“Comrades, we cannot allow this attack by international Jewry to go unchallenged!” This was said by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, on November 9, 1938, referring to the shooting of Ernst von Rath, a low-level Nazi diplomat in Paris, by Herschel Grynszpan, a young German Jew.November 9, 1938 was a defining moment for the Nazi regime, but in fact it was one day earlier in Munich that Kristallnacht, The Night of Broken Glass, was ordered. According to renowned historian Martin Gilbert, “at November 8, 1938, the first collective punitive measures were announced… All Jewish newspapers and magazines must cease publication forthwith. This ban cut off the Jews from their most accessible contact with their leadership.”

The official German view, that Kristallnacht represented a spontaneous response of angry Germans to a Jewish crime, was so fanciful that nobody believed it.

Local authorities across the country had compiled lists of Jewish-owned stores months before, and the names and addresses of Jewish men were kept on record. If ever there was a thoroughly organized crime, it was Kristallnacht.

At one minute to midnight on November 9, 1938, the Munich city fire department received its first call.

Demonstrators had smashed the display window of a textile business in the Augustenstrauss and set fire to the display.

The fire department’s records note the cause of fire as “anti-Jewish demonstration.” Three minutes later came the first major alarm: the city’s first synagogue was ablaze. The pogrom had begun.

Businesses and residences of Jews may be destroyed. The police have been directed to supervise the execution of this order…. Immediately upon receipt of this telegram, the police are to seize all archives from all synagogues and offices of Jewish community organizations. The archives are to be handed over to the SD security service.—SS Gruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich, who would later chair the 1943 Wannsee Conference at which the Final Solution to the Jewish Question would be decided, in Kristallnacht: The Unleashing of the Holocaust by Anthony Read and David Fisher (New York: Peter Bedrick Books, 1989).

A Jewish businessman in Munich, J. Littner, wrote in his diary:
The circle of non-Jewish friends will be smaller day by day, we shall soon be living in an invisible ghetto—the mood for November 9 grows worse, massive penalties. We Jews now fear November 9, the great feast of the Nazi party. On the evening of the 9th, the radio broadcast called for the murdering of Jews…—Kristallnacht: The Unleashing of the Holocaust.

For the German people, Kristallnacht—in which at least 90 Jews were killed, and 1,000 synagogues destroyed—proved that the Nazi regime was willing and able to use any kind of terror necessary to carry out its outrageous racial policy.
As Gilbert explains, “[t]he Jewish community in Germany dated back 1000 years. Despite their enthusiastic patriotism, the Nazi regime portrayed them as disloyal parasites on the pure German national body.”

The story of the crime of Kristallnacht has since been told year after year. November 9, 1938 marked a tragic turning point for European Jewry. After that day, there was no safe place for Jews in Europe.

When I was 21, I survived the Bucharest Kristallnacht of January 21-23, 1941, an authentic copy of November 1938. In Bucharest alone 25 synagogues were vandalized, most razed to the ground. One hundred and thirty Jews were murdered, beaten, tortured or maimed. Jewish corpses were hung in the Bucharest slaughterhouse with tags reading “kosher meat.” I went there in search of my father.

The Romanian thugs had exceeded their German counterparts. And the world remained silent! In 1938, Joseph Goebbels was not stopped. The world was silent. Today, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is free to call for the destruction of the State of Israel, and the world is silent!

November 9, 1938 and January 21-23, 1941 are a few of history’s darkest moments. The calamity that occurred on those days was a warning sign pointing to the Holocaust. The world refused to see it.

We must remember Kristallnacht! The appalling resurgence of global antisemitism, the unopposed call—within the walls of the United Nations—to wipe out the State of Israel, must raise the entire world’s consciousness. History is repeating itself. The world must not remain silent again.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s unambiguous demand for the destruction of the State of Israel must not be ignored.

If “Never Again” is to have any meaning, Ahmadinejad’s genocidal ambitions must be stopped. Sadly, the United Nations is silent.

Kristallnacht was the warning that should have been heeded by the civilized world. Nonetheless, the world remained silent!

I call upon all decent persons, all peace-loving nations, to raise their voices, to stand up strongly against the perilous threat of a new Kristallnacht, to oppose, now, Iranian, Hezbollah and Hamas-style terrorism.

It is our solemn and urgent duty to remind the world that a new Kristallnacht against the ewish people must be taken off the agenda for ever and ever.

The world must NOT be silent!
DO NOT FORGET! ZACHOR!

Kristallnacht Remembered
Abraham Foxman
Jerusalem Post, November 5, 2008

I remember how a dozen years ago, a rash of arsons burned more than 30 Black churches, mostly in the Southern tier of the United States. In response, the Anti-Defamation League urged investigations by the Justice Department and published full-page ads in many of America’s major newspapers deploring these acts, asking for letters of support that we passed on to the victimized congregations. We also established a Rebuild the Churches Fund. The response across America was heartening.

As Jews, we felt a special kinship with the victims of these arsons, because we lived with the memory of Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass -- when ordinary Germans committed a so-called “spontaneous” pogrom against synagogues, Jewish shops, homes, hospitals, cemeteries, and against their fellow Jewish citizens. In response, the world was essentially silent.
Now, as we commemorate the 70th anniversary of that horrible and tragic event, some will regard it as ancient history. For some of you who lived through it, saw it, survived it, it was only just yesterday.

I was born after the event, so I must rely on the historians. The numbers may vary some, but no one doubts the overall picture, which is well documented. Throughout Germany and the recently annexed Austria, over 90 Jews were killed, others beaten and humiliated, some 30,000 male Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues were torched along with their Torah scrolls, Bibles, and prayer books, and some 7,000 Jewish shops and business were looted and destroyed.…

There was now no doubt that the Nazis were no longer content to simply strip Jews of their legal rights, and in the immediate aftermath, German and Austrian Jews, and watchful Jews everywhere, would learn that while many newspapers and government officials around the world would decry the violence and barbarity of Kristallnacht, few governments were prepared to act.…

It would, of course, be some time more before the Final Solution was enacted throughout Eastern Europe and all of the Reich. But already on November 9th Hitler told Göring that if war broke out, Germany “will first of all make sure of settling accounts with the Jews.”

The Evian Conference that the Roosevelt administration had organized four months before, bringing together delegates from 32 countries to discuss the exploding Jewish refugee crisis, gave Hitler ample evidence that the world’s democracies would not act to quell his thuggish actions against the Jews, for the delegates at Evian merely confirmed that none would liberalize their immigration quotas.

As in the infamous phrase used by the Swiss when they turned back fleeing Jews at their borders, the free world essentially said the boat is full.
There was no room for Jewish refugees. Kristallnacht barely changed that attitude. There was a brief outcry, and then there was silence. Let us remember and learn the lesson from that terrible silence.

ISRAEL’S UN ENVOY: DANGEROUS WORDS,
LIKE AHMADINEJAD’S, SPARKED THE HOLOCAUST
Shlomo Shamir
Ha’aretz, November 4 2008

“The gas chambers were not the starting point of the Holocaust, but rather the end. The Holocaust began with dangerous words uttered by people,” said Israel’s new United Nations Ambassador, Professor Gabriella Shalev, in a speech at the UN assembly on Tuesday. The assembly was discussing the UN’s 2009 work plan to commemorate the Holocaust, as presented by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

The UN program includes a long list of events to commemorate the Holocaust, within the framework of a historic resolution, passed three years ago. This year, the events marking 70 years since the Kristallnacht pogroms in Nazi Germany in 1938 have been the focus of the UN activity.

The Israeli Ambassador took advantage of the forum to warn and protest against recent inciting remarks that were made by Iranian President Ahmadinejad in his speech to the UN late September.

“Israel and the Jewish people are grateful to the UN for its decision to commemorate the Holocaust,” said Shalev. “But that’s not the end of it. We must learn the lessons of the Nazi genocide and recognize such threats during these times as well. In this very hall we still hear a country leader calling to terminate a country that is a member of the UN as well.”

The Ambassador addressed the delegation representatives saying “May I remind you that in this very place all member countries took a ‘never again’ oath, and it is therefore our duty not only to condemn such remarks, but to take firm and immediate action against a county whose leader says such despicable and dangerous things.”…

ANTI-SEMITISM IS ALIVE AND KICKING IN ROMANIA
Cellu Rozenberg
Ha’aretz, November 2 2008

Anyone in need of additional reminders of how much Romanians love the Jews could have found it in the recent destruction and desecration of some 200 graves in the great cemetery in Bucharest. Even though there are almost no Jews in Romania (their number is estimated at a mere few thousand, excluding Israelis who have gone there on business), anti-Semitism is nevertheless alive and kicking.

The graves that were destroyed and desecrated—a reminder of the large Jewish community, numbering some 800,000 people, half of which was destroyed in the Holocaust not by the Germans, but by Hitler’s loyal allies, the Romanians—give no rest to some Romanians. This is not the first time such things have happened in Romania, but everyone keeps quiet, as if this were merely a bit of mischief.

The roots of Romanian anti-Semitism are planted deep in the country’s soil, which is soaked with Jewish blood. In almost every city and town where Jews lived, they were routinely subject to murder and looting—carried out by ordinary citizens, but backed by the regime—both before World War II and after it. It is no wonder that historian Hannah Arendt described Romania as the most anti-Semitic country of all.

On the morning of June 29, 1941, 12,000 Romanian Jews, who were almost blindly loyal to the state, were led through the streets of the city of Iasi, humiliated and hungry, to the local police station, which became their slaughterhouse.

It was the government that ordered the terrible massacre, in which my family, too, was murdered when the security forces began shooting in all directions. That, we will never forget.…

But if anyone thought that a [after the collapse of Romania’s antisemitic Communist regimes] change had finally occurred over the last few years, if anyone hoped that anti-Semitism had been relegated to the boors who desecrate graves rather than pervading the government, then President Traian Basescu’s remarks at a press conference at the Bucharest Airport upon his return from Syria a week ago reminded us that there is another Romania besides that of pastrami and wine—the Romania of anti-Semitism. Syria, Basescu said, is bordered by the following countries: Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine.

It is well known that Romania’s president is not particularly well-educated, but as a former sea captain one would have expected him to at least know a little geography and history. Has it escaped him that there is as yet no country called Palestine, but that another country, admittedly small, nevertheless exists on Syria’s border—one called Israel? It is a pity that the Foreign Ministry did not see fit to respond sharply to these remarks. It is still not too late.
