I've just watched a rerun of Russell Brand with Ed Millaband and all it did was confirm to me that this two bit headline grabbing idiot is a total joke!
How quickly the world forgets that this low life along with Jonathan Ross were sacked by the BBC for making offensive telephone calls live on air to the veteran actor Andrew Sachs telling him they shagged his grand daughter and now a few years on uneducated idiots are calling him some sort of revolution type hero. How sad is that? To me Russell Brand is a moron, and his ‘revolution’ is garbage!
A little context first. I don’t normally waist my time on this type political garbage on this blog or for tabloid BS, but I’m making an exception because it involves a movie star and the gross display of absolute idiocy here demands a response. So, before reading on, watch this interview that Russell Brand gave to the BBC’s “Newsnight” program in which, among other bits of drivel, Brand talks about how he doesn’t vote and seems to take pride in (not) doing so before going on to babble about “alternative structures” and so forth.
Need convincing??? have a look.
You must agree what a total load of drivel that is if you could understand what he was talking about?
Let’s break it down, point by point:
- At about the 25-second mark, Brand says he doesn’t vote, then Paxman asks how he has any authority to talk about politics. That’s a dumb question, in that anyone can talk about anything and just because Brand doesn’t vote doesn’t necessarily mean he’s unaware of political issues and doesn’t have opinions. However, Brand quickly goes off the rails by saying he doesn’t get authority from “this pre-existing paradigm” and says he looks elsewhere for “alternatives that might be of service to humanity.” First, there’s no way Brand would be editing a political magazine (he’s editing an issue of The New Statesman focusing on revolution) were it not for the fact that he’s a famous actor and “controversial,” to say nothing of rich (we’ll come back to that). Second, while there’s absolutely no doubt that the current system is messed up (Exhibit A: The government shutdown), Brand’s “alternatives” are so vague that he might as well not be saying anything at all.
- When Paxman presses Brand on his “alternative political systems,” Brand gives a cop out answer and says “Well I’ve not invented it yet.” If Brand is as smart as he thinks he is and has given his revolution the amount of thought he’s indicated, then he should be able to provide some sort of model for how things could be better. To just dismiss the current system outright without providing an alternative is no better than the tea party types who keep saying “no” to things like health care reform without saying how they’d address the issue of providing health insurance to those who need it.
- Brand does list a few things the government shouldn’t do: Destroy the planet, shouldn’t create massive economic disparity, shouldn’t ignore the needs of the people, capping it off with “the burden of proof is on the people with the power.” Brand is right: Government shouldn’t do those things, and they should be held accountable for their actions. But this isn’t revolutionary; this is basic high school civics. In fact, it’s the basis for the modern system. If you don’t like the guys in charge and what they’re doing, vote them out. Or, if you’re Russell Brand, just sit back, don’t vote and complain.
- When Paxman calls Brand on his hypocrisy and says that voting is how it works in a democracy, Brand says “well I don’t think it’s working very well.” Well, yeah. The system doesn’t work if people DON’T VOTE. If all of the disaffected hipsters who hate the system so much actually voted and made themselves heard, then we probably WOULD have a more responsive system and the people in power would probably do a better job of helping out those they represent.
- Brand says he doesn’t vote not out of “apathy,” but out of “weariness and indifference.” If he cares as much as he says he does, then that’s no excuse. You can still vote while fighting for your favorite causes, and given that his mythical alternative systems aren’t in place, he has to work with what he has. This is straight hypocrisy right here.
- Brand goes on to use a bunch of big words and say things like “voting for it (the system) is tacit complicity with that system.” No, no it isn’t. Voting is the bare minimum of engagement required of a citizen, and its the best way we have in our current system of working to create change. If you can’t be bothered to vote, then you have no right to complain that the system isn’t representing you.
- Brand says “people are voting already, and that’s what’s creating the current paradigm.” Ignoring the fact that he keeps recycling the same big words, the fact is everyone is NOT voting already. Presidential elections generate about 50 percent turnout in the United States. They haven’t topped 60 percent since 1968. That’s a whole 40 percent of the population that, for whatever reason, isn’t being heard. For local and state elections, which actually effect more people on a day-to-day basis, the turnout is much worse. Given the nature of voting demographics, the people who aren’t voting are likely younger voters and minorities, who are often the ones complaining the most about not being heard. I won’t go so far as to say all of them don’t vote because they’re lazy, but it’s likely true for some of them, and if they DID vote they might actually see some of the change they’re asking for.
-At about the 2-minute mark, Brand starts in on how an indifferent system “administrates for large corporations.” Now, I won’t be so foolish as to deny that corporations have major influence on government policy (see: Mitt Romney and his “corporations are people” remark), but part of the reason they have so much influence is spend a LOT of time lobbying officials, whereas most people don’t. But we also know that politicians listen to people; in the government shutdown, most Republicans in the House of Representatives ignored the advice of business leaders and voted not to end the shutdown because they were worried about tea party activists back home. The tea party may have been misguided in that instance, but there’s no question that they have influence, in large part because they’re loud, organized and VOTE in large numbers. If liberals got as organized and as vocal as the tea party, they could easily wield just as much influence.
-There’s a big underlying hypocrisy in Brand’s argument: He has gotten very wealthy off of the capitalist, corporate system he’s decrying. The movie studios that finance and release his films are owned by some of the biggest corporate behemoths in the world: Time Warner, News Corp., Disney, Viacom, Comcast, Sony, etc. That same system allows him to charge whatever he wants for people to go see his live performances. For him to talk about socialism and equality while he’s one of the rich he’s speaking out against is gobsmackingly audacious and hypocritical.
- “Profit is a filthy word,” Brand says at one point. Oh, so is he going to work for free now? Somehow I doubt it. And those heavy taxes on the rich he’s calling for would likely hit him as well. Let’s see how happy he is were those taxes to actually take effect.
- To prove just how much of an attention monger he’s trying to be, Brand takes his eyes off Paxman at about the 5:30 mark to look at the camera instead and say “don’t bother voting.” It’s clear that he wants this to be his soundbite, and therefore that he wants to be known as someone being “controversial.” Make no mistake: This is all about Brand helping and hyping himself, not any real desire for change or inspiring new thinking.
- At about the 6-minute mark, Brand says “facetiousness has as much value as seriousness.” Again, if he’s as concerned about the system as he says he is, then he knows it’s no laughing matter and that taking these problems seriously is the only way that there will be any hope of fixing them. And when Paxman responds that, “we’re not going to solve the world’s problems with facetiousness,” Brand says “we’re not going to solve them with the current system. At least facetiousness is funny.” To reiterate an earlier point, we’d have a better chance of solving our problems with the current system if people voted and got engaged.
- A bit later, Brand says he’s just here to raise attention to some new ideas and defers to people who are “more qualified.” Then why note get those people to run for office and vote for them? If they’re the ones you want in charge, then put them there.
- After a few minutes talking about Britain-specific issues that don’t really bear going into here, Brand says “the change is not radical enough.” I’m sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but working within the system and voting and actually getting involved beyond just spouting off is one way to speed up the radical change Brand is looking for.
- Paxman’s one great point come near the end of the interview. When Brand goes into his “why bother voting until a real alternative shows up?” spiel again, Paxman comes back with “because by the time somebody comes along you might think it worth voting for, it may be too late.” This is the killer argument right here. Brand can wait for his revolution all he wants, but until it arrives, this is the system we have to work with. So rather than pretend to be too cool to get involved, he needs to shut up and start doing real work and activism. He can start with a voter registration drive.

GOD BLESS ISRAEL......
The tiny Jewish state has one of the top disaster relief teams in the world. It's usually among the first to offer substantial aid to countries in distress from natural and other disasters.
A 260-member team from Israel arrived in Nepal Tuesday to aid in search and rescue operations and to set up a multi-facility field hospital that can treat at least 200 patients daily.

The Middle East conflict is framed as one of the most complex problems in the world. But, in reality, it's very simple. Israelis want to live in peace and are willing to accept a neighboring Palestinian state. And most Palestinians do not want Israel to exist. As Dennis Prager explains, this is really all you need to know. In 5 minutes, understand how Israel was founded, and how, since that auspicious day in 1948, its neighbors have tried to destroy it, again and again.

EVEN TODAY ISRAEL HAVE SENT MORE VOLUNTEER DOCTORS AND RELIEF WORKERS TO NEPAL TO HELP THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED AND TRAPPED IN THE DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY!!!
WATCH THIS VIDEO ISRAELI HATERS WILL BE DEVASTATED.
Mohie was born with congenital heart in the Palestinian West Bank. This report created by the United Nations shares his journey to life-saving surgery performed by Israeli surgeons in Israel's Wolfson Medical Center.
"If the Palestinians, either in the territory they control in the West Bank and in Gaza allows their citizens to travel to Israel for medical reasons, Israel will gladly accept as it is known: The mother of Abu Mazem, the granddaughter of Hanieh, etc etc, as well as simply common citizens wounded in their interarabic wars in all the surrounding countries ( Siria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and more). I wish they will realise that and stop their cry to desstroy Israel and sit down and agree to peace to live as 2 peoples in 2 States!!"

Indian helicopters, Israeli hospitals and Malaysian medics: How the world is coming to Nepal’s aid
Israel sent a 260-member team to Nepal on two hired Boeing 747 jumbo jets. The mission comprises a medical staff of 122 doctors, nurses and paramedics, who also carried 95 tons of humanitarian and medical supplies.
Part of the team will immediately engage in search-and-rescue operations, and medics and other support staff are expected to set up a full field hospital in Nepal within 12 hours of landing.
The United Kingdom has sent an eight-member disaster response team, including experts in search and rescue. The government has also announced that it has released £3 million for immediate humanitarian assistance, with another £2m going to the Red Cross. A number of UK-based charity organisations are sending their own disaster management teams into the country, including Oxfam, Christian Aid, Save the Children, the British Red Cross and Plan International UK.
Canada and the US have offered $5 million and $1 million for humanitarian assistance, respectively. “USAID is preparing to deploy a Disaster Assistance Response Team and is activating an Urban Search and Rescue Team to accompany disaster experts and assist with assessments of the situation,” John Kerry, US secretary of state, said in a statement.
“The European Commission is making available €3 million in its immediate response to the vast devastation caused by the earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday,” the EU’s executive arm said in a statement. “This comes in addition to the assistance from the member states and the deployment of European Commission’s humanitarian aid and civil protection experts to the crisis area.”
Countries such as Belgium, Finland, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Poland and Sweden have offered their search and rescue teams to Nepal. The teams will also work on water purification systems and technical assistance. Italy, meanwhile, has announced that it has kept $326,000 available for emergency aid to Nepal. This will be channeled through the International Federation of the Red Cross.

As the world continues to learn the truth the Lancet medical journal under attack for 'extremist hate propaganda' over its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
One of the world’s oldest and most venerable medical journals is under attack from an international group of more than 500 doctors over its coverage of the humanitarian disaster caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Lancet and its editor, Richard Horton, have been targeted over what the group claims is the “grossly irresponsible misuse of [the journal] for political purposes”. The controversy was sparked by an article deemed to be critical of Israel’s conduct in Gaza.
The protesting doctors, including five Nobel laureates as well as Lord Winston, the broadcaster and IVF pioneer, style themselves “concerned academics”, and accuse the journal of publishing “stereotypical extremist hate propaganda”. They also accuse the journal’s owner, the publishing firm Reed Elsevier, of “profiting from the publication of dishonest and malicious material that incites hatred and violence”.
Next it will be the BBC!!!!

SO YOU CARE ABOUT THE PALESTINIANS? NOW READ ON AND HEAR WHAT LUCY AHARISH HAS TO SAY.
AT points it seemed that Israeli-Arab journalist Lucy Aharsih was stifling tears as she delivered her address before lighting a torch at the Independence Day ceremony in Jerusalem on Thursday.
Aharish was presented by the host of the ceremony on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem as "an example of the end of days reality when the wolf will live with the lamb, and there will be coexistence with peace in our country."
Speaking in Hebrew Aharish said she was lighting the torch to honor all human beings who have not lost hope for peace and for:
"The innocent children who live in this land, for whom we have continually promised a better future; for those who are no longer with us and who fell victim to hate at the hands of those who have forgotten that we are all born in the image of one god."
"To the honor of the Mizrahim and the Ashkenazim, the religious and the secular, the Arabs and the Jews and to the honor of the the people of this land who remind us that we don't have another country; to the honor of the Israelis, and all human beings, and to the glory of the State of Israel.
Toward the end of her speech Aharish said in Arabic: "This is our country we have no other 1.6 million Arabs live in Israel, work in Israel our children are educated in Israel WE are educated in Israel, to boycott Israel is putting in danger OUR jobs, OUR future and our children's future the very Arabs you seem to care for. So please stop this now before it's to late."
The honor to light one of the 12 torches at the ceremony is bestowed upon citizens who have made significant contributions to the state.
So are you NOW going to support her and the 1.6 million Arabs living and working in Israel or do they not matter? I think I know the answer.

FOR YOU ANTI SEMITES I HOPE AFTER SEEING THIS YOU FEEL UTTERLY ASHAMED AND IT MAKES ME MORE DETERMENT TO MAKE SURE THE POLICE HUNT YOU VERMIN DOWN. KNOCK, KNOCK .
Neo-Nazis Plan Second Rally Targeting London Jews
A coalition of neo-Nazis have threatened to hold a second demonstration against the Jewish community in London, following a similar rally held earlier this month. The coalition - made up of a number of small splinter groups from the British far-right, as well as several Polish immigrant neo-Nazis - held a small demonstration on April 18 near the northeast London neighborhood of Stamford Hill, home to the largest Orthodox Jewish community in Europe, to protest what they called the "Jewification" of the UK. In particular, the neo-Nazis focused their anger on the Shomrim, a volunteer community patrol manned by Orthodox Jews which works closely with police to help tackle minor crimes and antisocial behavior. Among those involved were activists from the openly neo-Nazi National Front, as well as a far-right splinter group calling itself the "Racial Volunteer Force". Despite the fanfare over the event it was a relatively sad affair, held in Hackney just outside Stamford Hill and with only a handful of middle-aged and older anti-Semites in attendance. A small counter-demonstration of anti-fascists heckled fascist speakers throughout with chants of "Nazi scum off our streets!"
The man who initiated the rally, Joshua Bonehill, was not in attendance himself, having been charged in a separate case and banned from the area. But undeterred, the organizers have now threatened to hold a similar demonstration in Golders Green, northwest London, another neighborhood with a large Jewish community. Gabriella, a Jewish student living in Golders Green, said she was confident the attempt to stoke up racial hatred in an otherwise peaceful neighborhood would fall flat. "The organizers and participants of this rally are simply showing their hateful ways. Golders Green is an amazingly safe area where people from all backgrounds get on and live together - you just need to walk through the streets and that will become quite obvious," she said. "All that this rally will achieve is creating an even stronger bond between those of us, regardless of religious affiliation, who are united against facism and xenophobia." The development will however raise further concerns over a surge in anti-Semitism in the UK, which reached record levels over 2014. Last week, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, a report revealed a shocking rise in the number of violent anti-Semitic attacks in Europe last year, with France and UK experiencing the greatest increase. The study Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry found a full 766 violent anti-Semitic acts in Europe last year, committed either with or without weapons and via arson, vandalism, or direct threats against Jews or Jewish institutions such as synagogues, schools, community centers and others.

As more and more countries are speaking out against Antisemitism and more people are being arrested for publicly making Anti Semitic remarks, social media posts etc I thought I would point out a simple way of recognising a antisemitic person.
A few tell tail signs that are easy to recognise: Let me give you the latest example. Most anti Semites you'll find are only interested is anti Jewish propaganda ALWAYS hiding behind the cowardly words 'Oh, no I'm not and anti Semitic I'm Anti Zionists.' I would have a lot more time for these morons if they were honest and admit who they really are. Rather than face charges of Antisemitism. They stupidly believe by posting articles written by other people that they are safe safe from any kind of prosecution, WRONG! Like any social media if your seen to be aiding and abetting you are as responsible as the person who wrote it in the first place.(see European law). The second interesting sign is they all, almost all only post about anything to do with anti Israel or sex and Pedophiles which brings me to a simple solution its because that's all they read, they never post about anything else. This is an important point because hidden behind their interests lies a person with very deep dark desires a smaller point they have no self esteem are loners, drinkers and eaten up by jealousy of anyone else's success. My study shows that they are without doubt cowards and will never use their own names. Their hatred of people knows no bounds and can be dangerous mostly to themselves. Love is not a word that they ever understood. Hatred is key to them.
One of the most recognizable facts about an anti Semite is that every time a person who has done some crime is Jewish they will make a very definite point about this being a fact. Let me give you an example from a few days ago. You've probably read about the British politician, barrister Greville Janner being accused of some horrendous crimes against children and if this is true I hope that he will be brought to justice. You will notice in his case that the anti Semites will ALWAYS point out 'He's a Jew' or call him a Dirty Jew' Maybe some of you will think that's okay until I point out for the same crime that the likes of Jimmy Saville, Max Clifford and Rolph Harris are accused of they have never been referred to as Dirty Christians!!! Are you beginning to recognise what I'm saying?
UK Media Watch have just released this report and perhaps hopefully you will recognise yourself here and wake up.
Top 10 warning signs you may be a ‘Guardian Left’ anti-Semite
1. You claim the mantle of human rights yet find yourself running interference for anti-Semitic world leaders and helping to spread the propaganda of Islamist extremists – and even terrorist leaders who openly call for the murder of Jews.
2. You claim to condemn racism at every opportunity yet are strangely silent or seriously downplay even the most egregious examples of antisemitic violence.
3. You claim to be a champion of progressive politics yet often use terms and advance tropes indistinguishable from classic right wing Judeophobia – such as the argument that Jews are too powerful, use their money to control politics, and are not loyal citizens.
4. You support nationalism, and don’t have a problem with the existence of more than 50 Muslim states, yet you oppose the existence of the only Jewish state in the world.
5. Even when putatively condemning antisemitism you can’t help but blame the Jews for causing antisemitism.
6. You condemn the Holocaust yet also obsessively condemn living Jews for their alleged ‘inhumanity’ and even argue that Jews haven’t learned the proper lessons from the attempt to annihilate their co-religionists from the planet.
7. You not only support Palestinian rights, but support their “right” to launch deadly terrorist attacks on Israeli Jews, under the mantle of anti-imperialist “resistance”.
8. You characterize extremist reactionary Islamist movements as “progressive“.
9. You accuse Jews of cynically misusing the charge of antisemitism to “stifle” debate about the Jewish state.
10. You champion diversity and multiculturalism of all kinds, yet suggest that Jewish particularism represents an inherently tribal, ethnocentric and racist identity.
I’m sure there are more than ten – so please feel free to add to our list in the comment section below.
You frequently find yourself advocating that the United States send troops, drones, weapons, Special Forces, or combat air patrols to some country that you have never visited, whose language(s) you don’t speak, and that you never paid much attention to until bad things started happening there. Yet the starvation and brutality in third world countries doesn't bother you.
And here is my final example: Breaking news today Sunday the 19th April 2015.
Over 700 people feared dead after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the Libyan coast overnight, the Times of Malta reported today.
Twenty eight people were rescued in the incident, which happened in an area just off Libyan waters, 120 miles south of the southern Italian island of Lampedusa, the newspaper's website reported.
The emergency was declared at about midnight. The boat is believed to have capsized when migrants moved to one side of the vessel when a merchant ship approached.
The example being you will see nothing about this on their social media outlets simply because there is NO HATRED involved.
So please listen to this and try to understand antisemitisim and perhaps recognise yourself here. You know It's no shame to admit you are wrong. That takes a real man.. Now listen
More Breaking news today. Exciting for the anti Semite brigade...
Nazi invasion of London EXPOSED: World's top Holocaust deniers... filmed at secret race hate rally where Jews are referred to as the 'enemy'
Shocking rally seen by undercover team at Grosvenor Hotel saw several speakers unleash sick anti-Semitic rants Comes as UK marks largest ever Holocaust remembrance event tomorrow, 70 years after Bergen-Belsen liberation Nazi sympathisers at meeting laughed at Charlie Hebdo massacre and cheered at the mention of Spanish Fascists Star speaker at rally was self-confessed Nazi Pedro Varela, 57, whose adoration for Adolf Hitler is unrivaled.
Just a short walk from New Scotland Yard, it was clear that the sinister anti-Semitic conspiracy theories which led to the extermination of six million Jews are still fostered by a poisonous few In a room draped with the Union Flag, as the event called the London Forum unfolded, the audience: Sniggered at the mention of ‘ashes rising from the death camps’ crematoria’;
Applauded as they were urged to ‘identify, counter and break … Jewish-Zionist domination’;
Laughed at the Charlie Hebdo massacre, and as an African leader at the Paris memorial ceremony was described as ‘some Negro’;
Cheered at the mention of a brigade of Spanish Fascists who fought for the Nazis;
Heard gay parents branded ‘monster families’ and mixed race children described as ‘blackos’.
FRIENDS OF YOURS? YOU SICK BASTARDS!!!

SOMEONE HAS JUST MADE A BIG FUCKING MISTAKE . A MISTAKE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, FOR 5 YEARS. AND THANKS TO MR G I NOW HAVE A COPY OF IT. GOODBYE YOU ANTI SEMITIC BASTARD AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR MISTAKE THAT FOR SURE WILL END YOU UP BEHIND BARS. DO YOU REALLY THINK CHANGING THE SPELLING OF MY NAME WILL WORK IN YOUR FAVOR IN FRONT OF THE GUARDIA CIVIL AND THE JUDGE.
KNOCK, KNOCK, SOMEONE AT YOUR DOOR.
KNOCK, KNOCK, SOMEONE AT YOUR DOOR.
THE GUILT ABOUT BEING AN ANTI SEMITE IS ALWAYS HIDDEN BEHIND THESE WORD: 'NO, I'M NOT AN ANTI SEMITE I'M AN ANTI ZIONIST!'
Not all but most of you morons that bang on about Israel are probably the biggest lot of home grown non humanitarians I have ever come across. Have you ever visited Israel? NO! Do you know the history of Israel? NO! The reason that you continue to troll newspapers and social media sites is to pretend that you care for the 'Poor' Palestinians in Gaza. You don't, the reason you do what you do is because you are Anti Semites. You have NO idea what goes on in Israel and for that very reason alone you hunt for anything that's anti Israel through the internet etc, If you had to write about it yourself your page would be blank.
Other tell tale signs you lot don't give a shit about Palestinians unless a Jew is involved: Have you ever written about the 25,000 Palestinians that are been slaughtered in Yarmouk. Do these Palestinians not matter or is it OK for them to be starved to death simply because there is no Jew involved. Do the Palestinians in Gaza protest against ISSIS that their murdering fellow Palestinians? Here's what one Arab papers says: While a Christian holocaust is happening in Iraq, you’d think the Palestinians would show a drop of sympathy for their Arab brethren getting killed by the droves. But now it has been revealed that their main concern is that the US led coalition’s assault on ISIS will affect Hamas funding in Gaza and therefore stop the supply of cement for new tunnels (meant for homes) and rockets for future attacks on Israel. The Palestinian Authority prefer no action be taken against the Islamic State. How totally disgusting is that, just think about it. The Palestinians in Gaza greatest fear in their leaders Hamas and most certainly not Israel. One Palestinian said 'Our prays are that Hamas will not attack Israel as the cost of human life is simply to high'
Do you need further proof that unless a Jew is involved human life is worthless as far as these so called humanitarians are concerned. Let me give you another example. Today the news announced one of the most horrendous crimes against humans I have read in a long time: Police arrested a group of Muslim migrants in Italy for throwing 12 Christians overboard during a dangerous journey from Libya by rubber boat, CNN reported on Thursday. All those who were thrown overboard died. (Think about it, a slow death, eaten alive by sharks, its so unthinkable but it's true)
According to police, the suspects, all Muslim, hailed from Mali, Senegal and the Ivory Coast. The 12 Christians who were killed came from Nigeria and Ghana.
During the incident, Palermo police reported that others on the boat "strongly opposed the drowning attempt and formed a human chain" and thus avoided a similar fate to those killed.
The Italian navy intercepted the boat and transferred the people to a Panamanian-flagged ship, which arrived in Palermo on Wednesday. Arrests were made shortly thereafter. Any thing in Facebook's ???? of course not , No Jew involved. I rest my case.
ANOTHER INTERESTING POINT ABOUT THESE GROUPS ON ANTI SEMITES: There is a common thread among this group, if they are not posting their anti Semitic rubbish they are all posting about pedophiles and sex. They love hunting through the press looking for anything to do with sex, photos , stories etc. I'll leave up to you to make up your own minds on that one.
Just one other point. I read on a few Facebook's that you should be encouraged to visit Gaza for your holidays to show support for the 'Poor' Palestinians. Anyone of you going? Lets just leave it at that !!!!

At 10 a.m. on Thursday morning, Israel came to a standstill as sirens blared throughout the country to commemorate the 6 million Jewish victims of the Nazi regime. During the two minute siren traffic came to a standstill and people stopped working to remember the Holocaust.
The siren will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at Yad Vashem’s Warsaw Ghetto Square attended by President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and other senior governmental, military, and political figures.
Afterward, at the Hall of Remembrance, a ceremonial reading of the names of Holocaust victims will take place.

Time and time again I've said right here and I'll say it again. 'Does no one care about the atrocities carried out world wide by the rule of terror?' Last week for an example 150 Kenyans were massacred in a university, young students going about their everyday not a terrorist among them yet they were savagely gunned down. I posted this atrocity on my blog and Facebook but yet not ONE of those whom continue to be outspoken against Israel on your Facebook's or Blogs etc even cared to give it a mention. Why do you think this is? Most of these social media websites continue to dig up an obscure websites they can find that make up total rubbish against Israel. I've often said a traffic light has gone faulty in Marbella causing long tailbacks. It's Israels fault I jest! Sounds ridicules when you read it, but you have know idea some of the rubbish that these morons try to blame Israel for including any plane crash that might happen, i.e last weeks tragedy when the German Airline crashed and killed all aboard. Within days the anti Semitic mob where screaming "Israel did it!" Israel is said to be behind ISIS and every other terror group. Never and I mean never has any of the rhetoric been proven not on any level but yet these pack of wolves go on and on about Israel which brings me nicely to today's featured video. If you listen carefully to this moving plea you will hear him make this point "If Israel or America are not involved then no one cares" No truer word spoken!!! I posted this video on my Facebook but I have noticed that not ONE of you so called humanitarian brigade have bothered to place it on your blogs, Facebook's or Twitter....I can only come up with the conclusion that your hatred for Israel and Jews generally blinds you to anything else that's happening around our world! As the video say's about you morons: 'the rest doesn't matter'. Please copy and share this video. Thank you.

Do you really care about the Palestinians or are you one of the arse holes who is all talk and NO action, because if you really care about the Palestinians (which I doubt) here is a chance to get this up on social media...Please
ISIS has taken control of 90 percent of the Palestinian refugee camp on the Damascus outskirts where 18,000 Palestinian men, women and children have suffered years of bombing, army siege and militia control.
The Palestinian Liberation Organization on Saturday urgently appealed to the international community on behalf of thousands of Palestinian refugees ensnared in the ongoing fighting at the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus.
Islamic State (ISIS) has taken control of 90 percent of the Palestinian refugee camp on the Damascus outskirts where 18,000 civilians have suffered years of bombing, army siege and militia control, a monitoring group said on Saturday.No matter how many times I've reported this no one seems to give a fuck about them. Odd don't you think?
The hardline group's offensive in Yarmouk gives it a major presence in the capital. Islamic State, the most powerful insurgent group in Syria, is now only a few kilometers from President Bashar Assad's seat of power.
The United Nations has said it is extremely concerned about the safety and protection of Syrians and Palestinians in the camp. Civilians trapped there have long suffered a government siege that has led to starvation and disease and now they face been massacred. Is this getting through to you morons?
"The situation in Yarmouk is an affront to the humanity of all of us, a source of universal shame," UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) spokesman Chris Gunness said. (Some of you reading this should hang your heads in shame..end of!)
"Yarmouk is a test, a challenge for the international community. We must not fail. The credibility of the international system itself is at stake," he said.
“The current situation in the al-Yarmouk refugee camp is a heartbreaking catastrophe, thousands of Palestinians are at risk of being slaughtered " PLO executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi said on Saturday.
"Since December 2012, tens of thousands of men, women and children, most of whom are Palestinian refugees, have been forced to flee and have had their lives torn apart by war. The 18,000 residents who remain in Yarmouk are in great danger from extremist groups, including ISIS, that are seeking to take full control of the camp." Do you care?...Do you fuck!!!
"There is an urgent need for all countries to intervene immediately and work together to provide emergency relief and put an end to the bloodshed and the loss of innocent lives in the al-Yarmouk refugee camp," she said.
"We call on all members of the international community, particularly the United Nations, European Union and the United States, to safeguard the innocent people of Yarmouk and ensure that all sides commit to a permanent ceasefire."
I call on you to copy and paste this on your Facebook's, Blogs and Twitter links....PLEASE!!!

147 dead, Islamist gunmen killed after attack at Kenya college
This is what Muslim Islamists did . Just 3 simple words needed: Wake up world
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Why in the name of all that is sane does the British government want back those Muslims fanatics who are trying to enter Syria to 'fight' alongside ISIS? As one journalist wrote:
'After learning that his son Waheed had been arrested trying to enter Syria with eight relatives, Shakil Ahmed — a Labour Councillor in Rochdale — said he was shocked and worried. Not half as worried as the rest of us!'
Initial estimates indicated that 600 Brits had fled to Syria to join IS, of whom about half have already returned home. Now it’s believed that the figure may be closer to 2,000, with more like Waheed and his entourage arriving every week. This week, the United Nations revealed that Syria and Iraq have become finishing schools for more than 20,000 foreigners who are learning to kill and inflict terror before returning to their home countries.
Is the Government just returning a bunch of fanatical extremest murderers to mix into society? Is this not what ISIS want? I say let them go stay and possibly die in Syria along side their brutal comrades and not allow this cancer to spread in our countries before if it's not to late!

HAPPY PASSOVER HAPPY EASTER.
Whilst Christens celebrate Easter, Jews prepare for the 8 days of Passover. So may I take this opportunity to wish my Christen friends Happy Easter and my Jewish family and friends a wonderful peaceful Pesach.
In a time when our world is in turmoil prayers will be said this evening in Synagogues and Churches for peace and understand among us all.
Chag Pesach Semeach...
THIS EVENING IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA AND HIS JEWISH FRIENDS WILL CELEBRATE RAT THE PASSOVER DINNER
SO WHAT IS PASSOVER?
The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan. It commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. And, by following the rituals of Passover, we have the ability to relive and experience the true freedom that our ancestors gained.
The Story in a Nutshell
After many decades of slavery to the Egyptian pharaohs, during which time the Israelites were subjected to backbreaking labor and unbearable horrors, G‑d saw the people’s distress and sent Moses to Pharaoh with a message: “Send forth My people, so that they may serve Me.” But despite numerous warnings, Pharaoh refused to heed G‑d’s command. G‑d then sent upon Egypt ten devastating plagues, afflicting them and destroying everything from their livestock to their crops.
At the stroke of midnight of 15 Nissan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE), G‑d visited the last of the ten plagues on the Egyptians, killing all their firstborn. While doing so, G‑d spared the Children of Israel, “passing over” their homes—hence the name of the holiday. Pharaoh’s resistance was broken, and he virtually chased his former slaves out of the land. The Israelites left in such a hurry, in fact, that the bread they baked as provisions for the way did not have time to rise. Six hundred thousand adult males, plus many more women and children, left Egypt on that day, and began the trek to Mount Sinai and their birth as G‑d’s chosen people.

CYNTHIA LENNON DEAD:
The photos above were taken when Cynthia appeared in my first ever TV Show in the 90's and we have remained friends ever since. She also was a guest many times on my radio shows throughout the years. We kept in regular touch by phone .
I am totally shocked. I just received the news that my friend Cynthia Lennon, the late John Lennon's wife , has died at age she was 75. She died of cancer. I last spoke to Cynthia by phone at her home in Majorca to wish her Happy 75th Birthday. Not once did she mention being ill, just complained about getting old.
She was truly a lovely person and never once has she ever been caught up in any controversy or selling herself out for a shilling. She was simply a true, honest woman. My thoughts go out Julian Lennon her only child with John who I believe was with her at the time of her death. Cynthia and Julian were very close and spoke almost every day. I will phone Julian this evening to give him my condolences. May you RIP Cynthia.
Here's the statement:
"Cynthia Lennon passed away today at her home in Mallorca, Spain following a short but brave battle with cancer. Her son Julian Lennon was at her bedside throughout. The family are thankful for your prayers. Please respect their privacy at this difficult time."
Gone But Not Forgotten: Music Luminaries We Lost
Cynthia met John when she was 18. They married in 1962 when he was on the cusp of fame with the Beatles after she became pregnant with their only child, Julian Lennon, who was born in 1963. Their marriage was notoriously rocky, with Cynthia claiming her former husband struck her on one occasion.
"He was a very jealous young man at the time, and he had a lot of pain inside," she said in later years. "He wanted to trust me and he thought by seeing me dancing with a friend of his that I was being disloyal or messing around. So he smacked me, but that was the only time."
John divorced Cynthia in 1968 and married Yoko Ono in 1969, who he remained with until he was shot and killed in 1980. Cynthia wrote two books about their life together: A Twist of Lennon in 1980 and John in 2005.
Following her death, Julian Lennon posted the following musical tribute to his late mother.
