You're not really suggesting that our disgraceful educational system and our environmental disasters could be solved with the $3 billion that goes to Israel - one of the few places in the world where we know we can land a military plane day or night, no matter which way the political winds are blowing, are you? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Donal Philby Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 1998 11:03 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Codispoti for Fuhrer Ted Grant wrote: > Or is it because the Jewish vote in the USA > is > >> very powerful while there is little representation by the other > respective > >> nationalities? Ted, Quite frankly, this is a very sore spot with many here in US. The government sends Isreal $3 Billion every year, while our schools are in disrepair, environmental problems are left unsolved and more. Enormous power, far beyond numbers, and very self serving. It is not a neo nazi attitude. It is probably similar to how the Quebecquois (did I spell that right?) feel about "English" rule. Most of the arguments are that we need to get on with things and leave Leica alone, not saddle them with long gone history--or take on every unfair historical event and try to rectify. In this case it is just too self serving. BTW, its been around a hundred here and humid, so you have my sympathy. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
