RE: BOYCOTT ROGER WATERS
Nov 17, 2011
Roger Water's imagery doesn't only drop Magen Davids, but Christian crosses, the Moslem symbol, money, everything.
But Larry Fishman only mentions the Magen Davids.
A little bit biased on his side.

RE ELLIOT LEVEN'S ARTICLE: MUSLIM PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Dec 19, 2011
Dear Madam Editor:
I wish to comment on Elliot Leven's article regarding Muslim prayer in public schools. While I have no comment on the topic of the article, I do have some things to say concerning his comments about Orthodox Jewry. First of all, I would like you and your readers to know that I am definitely not Orthodox - I am very far from it. However, in recent years I have studied with several rabbis , Orthodox and non, in my quest to know more about Judaism and its "sects", laws and history.
I had always been under the impression that Orthodox women are treated as inferior to women. This misconception often stems from one of the daily prayers that thanks G-d for being born a man. However, this could not be further from the truth. While Orthodox women are treated differently than non-Orthodox women,particularly when it comes to laws concerning prayer and their place in the synagogue, they are considered queens. They are considered to be far superior to their husbands.
As far as Orthodoxy and homosexuality is concerned, the Orthodox movement of today is not blind. They know its existance seems to be growing as more people have become more open about their sexuality. The Orthodox condemn the sexual acts of the gay men, not the men themselves. And, as for lesbianism, it is not an issue at all - it is not "against" the tenets of Orthodoxy.
The information I have presented in this letter is all information that I have learned through my studies with Orthodox teachers. Perhaps if Mr. Leven took the time to do some learning and educate himself, he wouldn't condemn fastest growing arm of Judaism without knowing anything about it.
RE: KRISTALNACHT COMMEMORATION: RE : KINDERSTRANSPORT
November 9, 2011
Dear Editor,
Following Vera Fast's presentation (as part of the community-wide Kristallnacht Commemoration) about the Kindertransport I would like to add:
1. Not much is mentioned and very little attention is given to the role of non-Jewish organizations in general and The British Quakers in particular in taking in Jewish European children saved from the Holocaust.
"This operation could never take place with out the Quakers support Monday 1st December marked the seventieth anniversary of the first train carrying Jewish children away from Nazi persecution to leave Berlin. Quakers, who played a key role in this evacuation, marked the anniversary with an event at Friends House in London, bringing together survivors and families who cared for the children. Quakers were involved at all stages in the Kinder-transport. In London they joined with Jewish delegates in persuading the government to relax immigration requirements, making it easier to evacuate people from Nazi Europe. Quakers accompanied children on the long journey to safety and many families and Quaker schools provided homes." http://www.kindertransport.org/resources.aspx?cat=9
You can read the Kindertransportees' stories here at www.quaker.org.uk/kinder
2. Its time to re-open the case and investigate again the role that the American government of Franklin D Roosevelt played during the late 30's in saving Jewish European children. The issue of congress blocking proposed bills to admit 20,000 Jewish children under the age of 14 to the US remai a mystery to me to-date. So while praising the British Government for their part in saving these children we should condemn and criticize the US in a louder voice then ever.
3. In contrary to the common notion Kristallnacht was not a random stand alone act of violence against Jews (it was later recognized as the beginning of the Holocaust) that ended with some 'broken windows'. Kristallnach was a government supported, sponsored and organized nation wide pogrom. More then 1500 synagogues and 7500 Jewish businesses were burned and vandalized. More then 600 Jewish people died and not 90 as usually reported! http://www.ashkenazhouse.org/vomrath.html

RE:SPECIAL REPORT: REMAINS OF JEWISH POSSESSIONS IN KRISTALLNACHT FOUND IN DUMP THE SIZE OF FOUR FOOTBALL FIELDS IN KLANDORFF GERMANY
November 11, 2011
Amazing! This is the first I had ever heard of this. So many of the nazi crimes happened in areas that got taken over by the communists, including East Germany. For decades, the Soviets would not allow any kind of commemoration of the Shoah. For that reason, I presume, this remained a secret part of the past.

Intern Work/Remains of Kristallnacht Found in Dump in Klandorff Germany
Date: Wed, 9 Nov 2011 10:05:03 -0600
Dear Winnipeg Jewish Review,
I just received an H-net email with the story about the Klandorff dump. I would be interested in doing research on this, but I am not sure what type of work you are looking to have done. Currently, I am living as a Fulbright student and researcher in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Next fall I will begin a PhD program in History at the University of Toronto. Do you know if any journalists or historians are planning a visit to Klandorff? It is a strong possibility that I could participate in such a project. I am deeply interested in this story, and I would like to help uncover further information in any way possible.
Many thanks,
Chrissy Matzen

I returned from a long weekend and just now got to read the Ashkelon article. Good job! people should hear as much as possible about the impossible situation here. It is sad that the government isn't making enough "publicity" to it and the world get to see most of the time only one side of this sad story.
I will forward your article to my friends abroad. Thanks for sharing your experience!

FW: Shocking Reports of mass grave in Egyptian Sinai
November 3, 2011
To the Editor,
Allow me to bring to your attention a heartbreaking and indescribable story of Eritrean and other refugees in Sinai. The poor refugees were mostly kidnapped from Sudan by Bedoiun smugglers and were held for ransom in Sinai deseret for months. The women were raped; they were tortured. Now they found a mass grave there. One could read their names written in Eritrean scrpit. Engraved in Tigrinia on the rocks inside the hideout caves are read names and wishes of the victims.
Here is the coverage from CNN.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/world/meast/egypt-refugees/index.html?iref=allsearch
An Egyptian private TV channel 25online.tv in its recent program called Lahza-Bilahza/Minute by Minute has highlighted horrific televised scenes of bestial acts perpetrated by human traffickers in southern Sinai. The dugout graves of the victims show corpses with tied hands and legs and bowels gorge out for the sale of organs by Bedouin tribesmen who perpetrator such crimes. Found at the hideout caves in the Sinai desert region were belongings like ID cards and clothes of the victims, anaesthesia, glucose plastics, bullets and other items.
These crimes have been going on for over a year now. Leaders and members of a major Bedouin tribe in Sinai who managed to expose these crimes have led the TV crew to one single site of the crimes.
Here is the graphic presentation (warning: graphic and disturbing images.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEtt33obUAY&feature=player_embedded
The saddest thing is as we speak, HUNDREDS of Eritreans and other refugees are perishing in similar manner in other parts of Sinai.
All the best,
