@ktagseth@ABDanielleSmith As the great Thomas Sowell says, history has shown that the great middlemen like Jews, Lebanese and Chinese businessmen have always been attacked for their success, regardless of when and where they have lived in the world.
@ktagseth@ABDanielleSmith 50 years of my focusing on the Middle East, including marrying an increasingly conservative Moslem there, also married a Cdn atheist Jew, helping Syrian refugees in Canada, and working with mostly impressive Middle Easterners here, has resulted in my having a different opinion.
@ktagseth@ABDanielleSmith I understand why some people are struggling to see the damage Israel is doing in Gaza. However, who else is going to weaken Hamas? It took Egypt a very long time to get rid of the Moslem Brotherhood, which Hamas is a offshoot of.
@ABDanielleSmith Thanks Danielle. He was an amazing man and Canadian. Very courageous and intelligent. A master of the English language. Not surprisingly, he kept his cancer to a small number of people.
@PierrePoiIievre I am gutted at the loss of Rex. There's no one to replace him. He lived a quiet private life but gave us his thoughts via his unique pen and voice.
@Monica_Y_Harris@jonkay I agree that more people should go to trade schools. However, it's not just because idiots are speaking out against Israel while totally ignoring the damage Hamas (and Palestinian supporters) have done to the region.
@GraemeMenzies@the_lineca Graeme, I just read your article on The Line about our needing a new approach to Cdn culture. I agree with everything you said. Thank you. And thanks Jen and Matt for publishing Graeme's thoughts.
@KonstantinKisin Little Nicholai's Daddy, I predicted after listening to you a couple of times that you were going to be very well known in a short period of time. It's amazing how every so often someone with an appealing way of speaking/thinking appears.
@ianmiles Women are not having children because they don't like men, at least in English-speaking western countries. The cost of living is high, people are materialistic & most women know that a good education, working & making $ empowers them. They have more control over their bodies.
@KensingtonRoyal@RoyalFamily Catherine, The Princess of Wales is much loved and admired around the world. Our thoughts are with her, her husband the Prince of Wales, and their amazing three young children as she goes through this difficult time.
@umyaznemo Conservative Jewish women also shave their heads. Then they put on wigs. Some Gazan women could get ahold of seawater and use it to wash their hair.
