Expressing support

A good Chodesh to all.


KikarHashabat reports that Israeli singer Yehoram Gaon expressed support for the rally which is to take place today, not beacause he is against sharing the burden but because of the hatred that exists for those who learn Torah.
He quoted the verse from Zechariah:


 'לא בחיל ולא בכח. כי אם ברוחי אמר ה' צבאות'

Born in Kuwait and raised a Muslim, Mark Halawa was taught that Jews are bad. Everything he learned about Jews warned him to keep his distance.
This information was challenged when Halawa learned because his grandmother was born Jewish, he also was Jewish.

Karin McQuillan writes an excellent assessment about the President's "My Brother’s Keeper" initiative.
 
Conservatives accept the reality that the only way to combat life’s unfairness is to strengthen personal responsibility.  The work ethic, education and sacrificing for your children is the sure way that people in this country have progressed.  Destroy the motivation to be responsible, to work hard and live clean, and you have destroyed a person.  Despite all the good intentions in the world, no anti-poverty program has decreased poverty.  What it does achieve is that American poverty is bought and paid for by Democrats, and the payoff is a 90% voting block worthy of Stalinist Russia.
We don’t need a $200 million dollar committee.  The Census Bureau already has the figures.  The cure for poverty is within everyone’s grasp: finish high school, get married, defer your first child until you are 21.  Your chance of being poor is 2%.  Your chance of joining the middle class is 72%.

Michael Curtis asks a question about International organizations such as OXFAM and Amnesty Interntational.


What is it about these supposedly good will international organizations that makes them so disproportionately obsessed with and so biased against the State of Israel and its citizens? What makes them so little aware, in any consistent way, of issues in the other 192 countries in the world?
