I quite like your column Laughed my ass off when I read about the Yankie soldier inspecting your car Its nice to have lighter material once in a while Would you seriously consider comming to Sydney to do a standup show?

Aren't you supposed to be calling us Nazi's? Why are you being nice to an Israeli soldier? What is it you want -peace or something? Because if you behave like that you're gonna get it buddy. Man you are like a breath of fresh air.

Ray's incident with the soldier checking out his car is similar to something that happened to my mother, a white woman in her 80's at the time. One evening, she was being driven somewhere by her caretaker, a middle-aged African-American woman. Suddenly, they were pulled over by a police officer. My mother knew that no traffic rules had been violated, so when the officer walked over and peered into the car at the two of them, my mother, who was always very sensitive to anything she perceived as being racist, looked him straight in the face and said "You think she's trying to kidnap me or something, don't you?" The officer laughed and waved them on. This took place in a New York suburb, so I guess people can jump to the wrong conclusion almost anywhere.

After the way you treated Nemo, I'm not sure I could step into the harbor. Thank goodness for the odd Pelican who felt sorry for Nemo and that other Blue Gill :) lots of laughs and thanks for the great compliment!

Or "Palestinian" people for that matter. The Jews were the first to be called "Palestinians." Isarael was re-named Palestine by the Romans. Ray is just an Arab who falsely calls himself "Palestinian" to lay claim to Jewish land. I'm not Jewish but I support the Jews the right to their homeland of Israel.
