HAVE A HEART - I LEARNED COMPASSION FROM UNDER MY GRANDMOTHER'S TABLE

"BOBBE DEAR" DVOIRA FELDMAN
 
I learned compassion as a young girl while playing under my grandmother Dora Feldman's kitchen table.
 
From my child's shelter, I heard my grandmother weeping as she read the Jewish newspaper reports of the atrocities in Europe and the Soviet Union.
 
The victims were far away, but they were close to her heart. And I learned.
 
 

FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE OTHER - WHERE IS SELF RESPECT? WHERE IS COMMON SENSE ?

 
 
 
 
A woman may cover her hair for religious reasons - Muslim and Orthodox Jews do - or out of modesty - because our hair is so sensuous, we drive men mad. (Lovely thought, that.) A lovely veil is just lovely, a little mysterious and pretty.
 
But there is no excuse in civilized society in the 21st century to hide your face unless you are disfigured, you are protecting yourself or others from a virus, the weather outside is frightful, or you are about to rob a jewellery store. No excuse. Okay, maybe if you are under 16 and it is Halloween - or Purim. That is only one day a year.
 
Older women who have come to the west late in life may have a hard time adapting to this simple good sense, but if they can't, they should stay at home and let their husbands and children take care of their needs.
 
The public should not be placed at risk to accommodate ancient values from other lands. The sari does not provide much hiding place for a weapon, but Muslim garments do.
 
If you have come here to enjoy the benefits of Canadian life, you must adapt to Canadian life - all the while enjoying the freedom to practice your religion in security and comfort at home or at the mosque or among friends.
 
I want to know my neighbours. If they want to hide from me, I cannot trust them.
 
But I do feel sad for them.

THE EFFECTS OF RELIGION - CONSIDER INDIA

 
Lotus, National Flower of India
 
Consider India
 
Religions gave India
Gorgeous temples and shrines,
And mosques;
Magnificent art,
Knowledge and skills,
 
And killed millions
Of innocent men, women and children.
 
In God's Name.

DO YOU DOUBT THE INTENTIONS OF PALESTINIAN LEADERS IN CANADA ?

 
Canada: 'Al Quds Day' Speaker Calls for Israelis to be Killed
 
Elias Hazineh, former president of "Palestine House," calls for Israelis to be given a 2-minute warning to leave their homes "or be shot.

The former president of "Palestine House," a Canadian NGO accused by the government of showing a "pattern of support for extremism," has called for the forced ethnic-cleansing of all Israelis Saturday.

In the video below, Elias Hazineh can be seen addressing a crowd of anti-Israel activists in Toronto during the annual Al Quds Day march.

"We have to give them an ultimatum," he said of Israelis, "you have to leave Jerusalem; you have to leave Palestine..."

But Hazineh did not stop there. Dismissing negotiations, he called for the forced ethnic-cleansing of Israeli Jews as a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict:
"We say get out or you're dead. We give them two minutes and then we start shooting! And that's the only way they'll understand."

Nearly one million Jews were ethnically-cleansed from Arab states following the establishment of Israel, and today make up around half of the entire Israeli population.
Elias finished his speech by calling for war against the Jewish State.

"I am reminded of this verse from the Quran: 'And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and steeds of war' - that's the only thing that they'll understand!"
Al-Quds Day has been marked annually around the world since 1979, when it was established by Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini to express support for "the liberation of Jerusalem" by Muslim forces and to call for the destruction of the State of Israel.

This year's gathering saw a mixture of around 300 Shi'a Islamists, radical leftists, and a small group of Neturei Karta activists, who were apparently unfazed by the event taking place on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath).

Demonstrators proudly waved the flags of Iranian, Syrian and Hizbullah flags, alongside pictures of Ayatollah Khomeini.

The annual rally took place north of the Ontario parliament building this year, after the provincial government rejected a request by the organizers to hold it in front of the parliament building itself, as they had done in previous years.
 
Sunni Muslims apparently boycotted the rally, most probably due to the war crimes carried out by the Assad regime of Syria with the full military support of Iran and their Lebanese proxies Hizbullah, against the largely Sunni opposition there.

REALITY - NEW KRAKATOA IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS

Krakatau, a small island group in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Sumatra and Java is one of the world's most famous volcanoes. It is a mostly submerged caldera with 3 outer islands belonging to the rim and a new cone, Anak Krakatau, that has been forming a new island since 1927 and remains highly active.

Krakatau exploded spectacularly in a devastating Plinian eruption 1883 that killed more than 30,000 people (mostly by the huge tsunamis triggered by the eruption). The eruption was one of the first global news events after telegraph lines had connected the different continents.
 
Background
 
The renowned volcano Krakatau (or Krakatoa) lies in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. Collapse of the ancestral Krakatau edifice, perhaps in 416 AD, formed a 7-km-wide caldera. Remnants of this ancestral volcano are preserved in Verlaten and Lang Islands; subsequently Rakata, Danan and Perbuwatan volcanoes were formed, coalescing to create the pre-1883 Krakatau Island. Caldera collapse during the catastrophic 1883 eruption destroyed Danan and Perbuwatan volcanoes, and left only a remnant of Rakata volcano.
 
This eruption, the 2nd largest in Indonesia during historical time, caused more than 36,000 fatalities, most as a result of devastating tsunamis that swept the adjacent coastlines of Sumatra and Java. Pyroclastic surges traveled 40 km across the Sunda Strait and reached the Sumatra coast.
 
After a quiescence of less than a half century, the post-collapse cone of Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatau) was constructed within the 1883 caldera at a point between the former cones of Danan and Perbuwatan. Anak Krakatau has been the site of frequent eruptions since 1927.

Explosion from Krakatau on 28 March 2013 (Photo: Oystein Lund Andersen)
A small eruption took place at the volcano from 11th-12th March. The eruption produced Andesite volcanic bombs which littered the old crater rim and produced impact craters.

During a brief visit to the volcano from 22nd – 24th March, a small steam plume (emitted from two vents in the crater) was seen rising 300 – 400 M above the crater. Glow from the crater was seen at night time, which was from hot gas.

On 28th March, at 08:56 (local time) an eruption started at the volcano. The eruptions originated from the northern part of the crater producing a small ash plume that rose a few hundred meters into the air and then collapsed to form a small pyroclastic flow. Another eruption was noted at 17:16; the MODVOLC showed a thermal anomaly on the volcano.

On 29th March at 12:36 (local time), another eruption took place, from the southern part of the crater; this eruption lasted for 1 hour and 11 minutes. During this eruption, a small pyroclastic flow traveled down the N flank.

Our group on the rim of Anak Krakatau's crater
 
 
The group of our current trekking tour on Java climbed the summit of Anak Krakatau on 24 June. Climbing there was very difficult, because of many hot fumarolic spots and strong degassing. The summit of Anak Krakatau is now higher than before the Sep 2012 eruption. One active vent was remaining in the west part.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JEWS AND THE HOLOCAUST?

 
 
FACEBOOK
August 2, 2013
 
From our friends to you.
Anti-Semitic: The term "anti-Semitism" was coined by non-Jews in the late 19th century as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"). It does not refer to discrimination against all semitic peoples, instead specifically referring to discrimination against Jews.

Arbeit Macht Frei: "Labor makes you free", a propaganda slogan the Nazis used to promote work amongst prisoners.

Death Marches: The movement between Autumn 1944 and late April 1945 by Nazi Germany of hundreds of thousands of prisoners from Nazi concentration camps and prisoner of war camps near the eastern front to camps inside Germany away from front lines and Allied forces. This was to remove evidence from concentration camps and to prevent the repatriation of prisoners of war. Earlier death marches had occurred at the beginning of the war in the Lublin province of Poland, in which few Jews survived.

Der Stürmer: A German newspaper publication that was part of the Nazi propaganda campaign.

Einsatzgruppen: Paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany that were responsible for mass killings, primarily by shooting.

Eugenics, or Nazi Eugenics: Nazi Germany's racially-based social policies that placed the improvement of the Aryan race through eugenics at the center of Nazis ideology. Those not deemed worthy of life were targeted. More than 400,000 people were sterilized against their will, while 70,000 were killed under Action T4, a "euthanasia" program.

Final Solution: Nazi Germany's plan to annihilate the Jewish people, formed in late 1941.

Gestapo: The official secret police of Nazi Germany and German-occupied Europe. Heinrich Himmler presided over it.

Ghetto: Ghettos isolated Jews by separating Jewish communities from the non-Jewish population and from other Jewish communities. The Nazis established at least 1,000 ghettos in German-occupied and annexed Poland and the Soviet Union alone, beginning in 1939. The Germans regarded the establishment of ghettos as a provisional measure to control and segregate Jews while the Nazis decided what to do with them.

Ghetto Police: Under the Judenrat, the Jewish Ghetto Police were forced by the Nazis to carry out acts of cruelty against fellow Jews, including shipping their brethren to Concentration Camps.

Judenrat: Administrative bodies consisting of Jews that the Nazis forced Jews to form in communities, often tasked with punishing their fellow Jews.

Judenrein: Nazi term to designate an area "cleansed" of Jewish presence.

Kapo: A Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp assigned by the SS guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks in the camp.

Kristallnacht: A pogrom (series of coordinated attacks) against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on November 9-10, 1938, carried out by paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party and German and Austrian civilians. The attacks left the streets covered with broken glass from the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues. 30,000 Jews were arrested or sent to concentration camps, over 1,000 synagogues were burned, and over 7,000 Jewish businesses destroyed or damaged on the Kristallnacht.

Nuremberg Laws: Passed in 1935, they were anti-Jewish laws depriving Jews of German citizenship and prohibitting marriage between Jews and other Germans. They classified those with four German grandparents as "German or kindred blood", while those with three or four Jewish grandparents were labeled Jewish. A person with one or two Jewish grandparents was a Mischling, a crossbreed of "mixed blood".

Partisans: Resistance fighters to Nazi tyranny during the war who had previously escaped from the Nazis or had otherwise escaped detention.

Schutzstaffel (SS): One of the largest and most powerful organizations in the Third Reich, it carried out the Final Solution.

Sieg Heil: A ritualistic chant used at mass rallies, where enthusiastic crowds answered Heil to the call of Sieg ("victory").

Shoah: Hebrew word referring to the Holocaust.

Untermenschen: A Nazi term for inferior people, referring to Jews and other undesirables.
