avi's adventures

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade; And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley.

Kofi Annan

As I sit here at my desk listening to his latest discourse on the Middle East, I am sure the founders of the UN are rolling in their graves. Y'know, the United Nations was borne out of the Second World War, based on the defunct League of Nations. Sidenote--Who was responsible for the League of Nations disbandment? Canada. Yup. We invoked Article 9 of the charter...read up on it, quite interesting. But I digress. Way back when, Churchill (UK PM) and Roosevelt set up the UN as a counterbalance to the Nazis and the axis of evil. How did one become a member? Only by declaring war against an axis power. Then, after the war, one needed to be a democracy to join the Gentleman's Club. Now? Any dictator and theocrat can pay the membership fee and hijack the Human Righrs Council to shit on Israel. I mean, really. Let's just change the name to the "Body Responsible for the Continued Mistreatment of, and Distribution of Propaganda against, any Jewish presence in the Middle East"....At least this way we wouldn't be confused as to the organization's goals and values are.

I want to share something with you all. This was emailed to me by my dad, so I will paste it below for your reading pleasure. It appeared recently in a Spanish newspaper, and this is a translation....


" ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ"
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez(*)

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition. We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.***********************************


As I've said before, I will ask again...
What side are YOU on?
