Chofetz Chaim: The Value Of Peace
Yesterday I posted a link to an an article at Breitbart about a gorilla which was shot to death to protect the life of a young black boy. The article posted tweets such as, "Killing an endangered gorilla at a zoo for a white boy's safety is white privilege. If the boy was black they would've found a tranquilizer."
The first comment under the article included, "And the boy (named Isaiah) wouldn't have been Jewish would he?"
I wrote that there were some anti-Semitic comments posted below the article and questioned whether Breitbart checked its comments. I got an answer today when I saw that a number of comments were now replaced with, "This comment was deleted."

It's incredible how a Breitbart article titled Black Outrage Over Gorilla Shot To Protect ‘White Privilege’. Just One Problem… has generated so many anti-Semitic comments. Does Breitbart check comments before publishing?
The NYPost informs its readers about the tragic death of Jack Jakubek, 22, "a college swimmer from upstate New York [who]drowned during lifeguard tryouts over the weekend." http://nypost.com/2016/05/30/college-swimmer-drowns-during-lifeguard-tryouts/
Ironically, a January Facebook entry of Jack Jakubek (I think it is the same person)linked to an interesting Washington Post article titled We’re lucky if we get to be old, physician and professor believes.
Instead, he sees too many baby boomers clinging to tropes that no longer serve them.
“It’s very American language — ‘You’re as young as you feel, and I feel like I’m 22 years old.’ That’s not good, that’s not right . . . and the reason it’s wrong is it doesn’t allow you to be who you are.”

Hearing the voices
Steven Spielberg: I was wrong to think anti-Semitism was fading
I was reading a discussion at the end of an article titled Congresswoman Interrupts Woman Opposing Trans Bathrooms, Screams ‘You’re an ignorant bigot!’ .
One reader commented, "We don't tell schizophrenics that we too hear the voices. We encourage them to seek help."
A commenter responded, "As crazy as things are now, I would not be surprised if Obama issued a directive saying that we have to tell the schizphrenics that we hear the voices too."
The comment about hearing voices reminded me of a hysterical Key and Peele clip in which a patient claims to have different medical problems, in order to get a special presciption from the doctor. Click here to watch.

Neocon Tribalism vs. Jewish Universalism
Martina Anderson, an Irish member of the European Parliament, said Israeli lobbyists were “all over this place like a rash” during a parliament meeting on Wednesday.
Read more: http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/israelis-are-like-a-rash-says-irish-member-of-european-parliament/2016/05/27/
On her Facebook Page, Ms. Anderson links to a video posted by AJ+ titled What happened to the Palestinians? It can be seen on youtube and the AJ+ Facebook page.
The video narrator states that after Israeli Independence, 80% of the Palestinians fled while "the rest stayed behind where they lived withour rights under military rule until they were given Israëli citizenship in 1967."
Correction: Palestinians who stayed behind after the creation of Israel actually received citizenship in 1949, but lived under a separate military law until 1966. We regret that mistake. https://www.facebook.com/ajplusenglish/videos/730476790427164/?pnref=story
The video is on youtube without the correction. What other mistakes were made?
Couldn't the producers of the video do even some basic research such as finding out about "Amin-Salim Jarjora, an Israeli Arab politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Democratic List of Nazareth between 1949 and 1951"?

Dead voters
High-speed camera captures amazing lightning flash
A friend asked me a couple of weeks ago about my prediction as to who would win the American election. I told her that it depends how many dead voters and 114-year-olds will be participating in the election this year.
Tonight I read an article which begins with the following words:
Hundreds of “dead voters” are casting ballots in Southern California, according to an investigation by KCBS-TV.
