donistan and Eurarabia general...so Mr.Wertheimer, money will conquer Islam, yes? Poor me, I thought it was LOVE's job...

Tom, it must take a great deal of hard work to achieve your level of idiocy. Or, perhaps you are naturally endowed. Lucky you. Here's a guy who has vision and has taken a practical step in getting people to begin to work together towards some common goal. Your destructive cynicism has no place in a modern society. The hope is that current and future generations of Jews and Arabs will ignore those of you who persist with inward-looking, ethno- nationalist agendas.

If "Palestinians" had their way, they would mass murder the Jews of Israel in a heart beat, like their Nazi heroes. They say so all the time on P.A. TV, in their school texts and everywhere else. "Palestinians" are mortal enemies. Churchill made a top priority of destroying the Nazi economy, because the Nazis were mortal enemies. This is the sane path for Israel to follow regarding "Palestinians". Prospering them is self destructive lunacy.

my "idiocy"/foolishness, should occasion arise and maybe do something about it. I wish I could have same hope in your case. I don't. Following your TBs I see a person so infused with the '60s and their fallacies, that no amount of empirical material will ever be able to move you beyond Bob Zimmerman's level of hip "intellectualness". It's not my cynicism that's destructive: it's you beloved un-integrated, Islamic pals that are doing the destruction my friend. As for the symbolism of Wertheimers project, well it's good mainly for Mr. Wertheimers feeling of doing something "righteous" in life. I have no quarrel with that, but it's totally disconnected from the reality of Arab/Islamic mind, just like you are disconneted (by choice!) from the History that is being made right in front of your nose. You remind me of that joke about a country bumpkin that upon visiting a Zoo for the first time, in front of a giraffe enclosure bursts out: "No way is there a SUCH THING"! Well Mr.Bertram: thereis such an animal and it's about to bite your behind!(it ain't a giraffe either)

Tom, congratulations from me on a superb post. Music to my ears. You hit the nail on the head.

Tom, that's exactly what I am thinking. It's all about making money!

has his hart in the right place(hopefully), but his rudder is shot :-)

Good one Tom. Can you hear me laughing?

These small exchanges are fun, aren't they? Thanks for the 'joke' but not one that would have them rolling in the aisles. Anyhow, what's all this stuff about the 60s? You seem to be mired in your own misreading of history (assumed you actually done any reading). Anyhow, not me, old son. Mr Wertheimer, a capitalist businessman, would hardly have received endorsement from your imaginatively constructed hippy generation. Finally, as an afterthought, a word about the 'Islamic mind'. I hear this morning about significant financial aid being given to the local Jewish community in a northern English city to fix the roof on a mid-19th century synagogue in urgent need of repair. The aid is being provided by the local Muslim community in the interests of community harmony and is a reflection of civic pride. So, here's another 'joke'. How many psychotherapists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light has to want to change. It can happen.

Care to provide the link to your story? Come one put your money where you mouth is.

brew, I grant you that. I tried. The "light bulb" is more universal, true. Your "lion&lamb" story is exactly like Wertheimers deed: an attempt at "Tiqun Olam" (Betterment/Repair of the World, to our Goyishe readers). It is a typically Jewish affliction; symbolic and futile. In Israel we are fed these tales daily , as if it is us, the measly 6 mil. Jews in the sea of hostile Arabs that need reminders "to live in peace"! Really Bertram: give it a rest.... Why '60s? It was the begining of the Fall of Western Civilisation. Simple.I am 59 by the way.
