Thank you to all that are standing with the Jewish community and Israel right now during such a tough time.
Appreciate it with all my heart and will always have your back too.

E que, entanto que a nova lhe chegasse
De sua estranha vinda, se queria,
Na sua pobre casa repousasse,
E do manjar da terra comeria,
E depois que se um pouco recreasse,
Com ele para a armada tornaria,
Que alegria não pode ser tamanha,
Que achar gente vizinha em terra estranha.
@alvaro_maestro Argentina. Problemas, si, pero calidad de vida, clima, cultura, paisajes, gastronomía, maravillosos. Buenos Aires ciudad mágica, la última de las ciudades europeas. Calidez de su gente, vida tranquila. Convivencia pacífica de razas, culturas y religiones desde siempre
Parece que no hay igualdad ante la ley ni ante los medios:
Desaparecieron rapidísimamente los temas de viajes carísimos en aviones y barcos, campos de dudoso origen y vestidores desbordantes de dólares.

@LuisGasulla Este país debería tener dos grupos de trabajo especiales al estilo de Los Intocables de Elliot Ness, intachable y muy bien pagos, uno de jueces y otro de policía especial para investigar la corrupción. Pero nadie lo va a proponer porque están todos en el tongo
The Muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion per capita in the United States, especially among minority races.
Last month I attended a training. During the training session, three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths each presented their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, “Nonbelievers"
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.

Dear Samuel:
I don't need to tell you how much we've always admired you, or how much we've enjoyed your films. That's why it struck us as strange and hurtful that you said, “Argentina is the most racist country in the world.” I won't lie to you, Samuel: your words hurt us.
Argentina is not a racist country. We're the product of a mix of races, bloodlines, religions, and nationalities. That's probably why we're a bit chaotic, but also very creative, fun, and above all, indestructible.
Slavery was abolished here in 1813 — fifty-two years before it was abolished in your country. Since then, we've never had to fight for rights to make races or creeds equal. We've fought for other rights, other things, I won't deny that. And we've taken plenty of hits. A lot of them. But everyone equally. White and Black, immigrants and native-born, Westerners and Easterners, Catholics, Jews, and Arabs. Here, when we get hit, we all get hit together.
Believe me, Samuel, if your family had raised you here on the Argentine pampas instead of in Tennessee, you could have ridden the same bus as the head of the Ku Klux Klan and peed in the same bathroom, side by side.
Rosa Parks, the woman from Alabama who in 1955 defied the system by sitting in the section of the bus reserved for whites, could have sat wherever she wanted here from day one, and no one would have said a word. And if there was no free seat, surely some Argentine gentleman would have given her his. That's how it's always been.
Here, we didn't have to wait until 1965 for a law to allow Black people to vote for a president. Here, everyone votes. I'll admit we sometimes vote like idiots, but everyone votes.
That said, we were a bit slow on women's rights — they weren't granted the vote until 1951. That's bad. Ugly, even. But you have to admit it was much worse over there: because you were Black, you couldn't vote until 1965.
Over there, a supremacist is a big white guy who hangs you from a tree surrounded by torches. Here, the “supremacists” are the ones in the stands singing that the rival team belongs in the minor leagues.
Let me tell you something odd about Argentina: most of us have a friend we call “negro” — “black.” Not only that, but when we say it, his face lights up.
Here, saying “what's up, negrito?” is affectionate, everyday talk. But I suspect that back in Tennessee, if I said “what's up, negrito?” the most likely response would be getting doused in gasoline and having a match thrown at me — even with how expensive a gallon has gotten lately.
For us, “negro” is simply a color; we don't overthink it. “Black looks great on you,” “the day turned black [gloomy],” “I'm in a black spot [in trouble]” — these are everyday expressions that would get me lynched in Tennessee, and you'd probably agree that they should. And I don't blame you — that's how it is over there. Not here.
Our greatest female voice was “La Negra” Sosa, and our best humorist writer was “El Negro” Fontanarrosa. Not to mention one of our country's most beloved comedians: “El Negro” Olmedo. I recommend his films, especially the ones he made with “El Gordo” [Fatty] Porcel. Yes, Samuel, we called Porcel “fatty” and Olmedo “black,” and nobody here took offense. Least of all them.
Here, Muhammad Ali wouldn't have had to change his name to reject the legacy of slavery. We would have just called him “El Negro” Clay and moved on. Everyone happy.
For calling someone “negro” to be an insult in Argentina, you have to take things to another level. For example, “negro de mierda” [shitty black], “negro cagador” [screw-up black], or “negro hijo de puta” [son-of-a-bitch black]. But if you just say “negro” plain, with no additives, that's usually followed by a hug.
Here's something you won't believe. My grandfather, whom we called “el Zeide,” was named Samuel — just like you. He was a Polish Jewish immigrant whom Argentina welcomed with open arms, like it does all immigrants. No segregation, no racism.
Of course, there was never a shortage of the odd antisemite — there always are, everywhere, a bit more so now. But from the moment he arrived in the country, he enjoyed the same rights as everyone else. He worked like a dog so his Argentine-born children could grow up and thrive.
The middle one was my father, a great comic actor named Tato, who over the years became a symbol of the best Argentine values. Among the many awards and honors he received, he won several Martin Fierro awards — which is roughly our equivalent of the Oscars. The whole family won several “Argentine Oscars.” I'm truly sorry that over there in Hollywood, you were only given one.
And on top of that, it was a lifetime achievement Oscar. I don't need to explain what that award means: they give it to old-timers who worked a lot. Let's be honest — you never won a real Oscar, for an actual show or film. A shame, Sam.
Still, your words — like those of others who have also insulted our country — have had one positive effect. Let me explain.
There's been a deep divide here for a long time. What's happening to you all now with Trump happened to us many times, and over the last 20 years it happened with the Kirchners. I don't want to get into details, but believe me, Samuel, our society has been divided by these people. He has already passed away, and she is in prison because of some little problems I won't get into.
But look what this wave of insults against Argentina managed to achieve — something nobody thought possible: we're all united in defense of the truth and our national dignity. Argentina has its flaws, but it is not the most racist country in the world, as you said. In fact, I'd argue it's less racist than the average country, and far less than the major powers that were colonialist or outright segregationist — like yours. Thankfully, it no longer is.
Beyond our differences of every kind, we Argentines are united behind a few things: our national soccer team, Messi, the memory of Maradona, and the fact that if someone says we're the most racist country in the world, we'll all agree that guy is an idiot — with all due respect. Look what you accomplished, Sam. Quite a feat. Not even Pope Francis, who was Argentine and tried so hard, managed to achieve national unity.
That's why, if I were you, I'd come down here and see for myself. Consider yourself invited. You'll like it. People are friendly, the food is delicious, the theater is excellent, and the natural landscapes are among the most varied and beautiful on Earth.
And if you like soccer — and it looks like you do — we could take you to a match so you can enjoy one of our greatest passions, with all its achievements, including 7 World Cup finals and 3 World Cups won.
By the way, I'm truly sorry Belgium eliminated you all in the round of 16, after everything you spent. I hope that's not what prompted your remarks against us.
Don't miss out, champ. Come on down — you'll have an amazing time.
In fact, I bet someone will offer to shoot a film or a series with you. And if they offer to pay part of it under the table, don't be offended — it's so you can save a bit on income tax. It's in your favor.
Anyway, dear Samuel, maybe if you come you'll get to know us a little better.
And if not, I'll explain it the way we explain things here: it's Argentina — you wouldn't understand it, negrito.
Antisemitas y pro terrorismo me denunciaron masivamente la cuenta y la tengo shadowbaneada (invisibilizada).
Ayúdenme con RT y sugiriendo que me sigan, para romper esas restricciones.
Gracias a todos !!!
