This great speech deserves all of the twenty minutes of your attention:



Or, if you prefer to read it, here is the full transcript.

(Not that anyone in the Dictators' Club will care about this speech, of course, to be sure).

Not only the UN turns the truth on its head and makes a joke of morality. Read this and cry...
We are living in an interesting time when every noble case is tramped upon by the UN the EU and most governments.

OT, another, bigger issue is in the pipeline.

Maybe an additional reason for the cabinet coming unglued?

No, the DC* doesn't do common sense.

The EU will self-destruct in 3-2-1...

Thanks for the link, Peter, it is amazing indeed. And yes, we are cursed to live in interesting times.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yeah, two years to wait...

And why should they, they get along very well, with lots of oil and voting counts...

That may very well mean WW III in the offing. Let's not forget where it usually starts...

This time it should be a do-it-yourself affair.

I wholeheartedly supported the right of Yachad to be included into the Board of Deputees. They argued that all the voices have a right to be heard. I found this argument extremely persuasive. But Daniel and the organisation he is chairing are at the moment silent on this matter of censorship

I hope to hear from them soon. By the way, all the accusation against prof. Kedar are plain lies. Much like the lies against Yachad.

What a wonderful opportunity to stand for the high principles of democracy and inclusion.

Dear Rabbi,

Thank you for commenting on this post. Indeed all voices have a right to be heard. Unfortunately, a good part of the left-leaning folks looks at this principle of inclusion (and the principle of freedom of speech as well) as at a one way road. For some reason they frequently don't seem obligated to uphold these principles when somebody they disagree with is concerned.

I am not very much aware of Yachad, not being British and all, so the part about lies against Yachad is not familiar to me. But I do know enough about prof Kedar to agree that he was unjustly smeared.

As for my post: I don't have any problem with Daniel Reisel's right to post stupid articles where he finds it convenient to post. However, he should not expect so obviously flawed logic to escape some minimal scrutiny and criticism.
