Hey, Pete, I hope you have a happy Xmas and come back in the New Year ready to take the misguided, religiously-deranged and intellectually-challenged to task.

And cheers to everyone on OLO including the Singer who is a source of great amusement to many!

Thanks David G

And have a Happy New Year.

Pete

Ah its that old Zionist propaganda addict Singer at it again,think you might be better off David moving to Israel and seeing how your so worried about corruption tackle it where it starts.
Corrupt leaders, my my how are the Israel political class quite of few of them are corrupt,or the thieving murdering settlers,the Zionist land & water thieves,the IDF who murder children,all in the name of honest Israel & you David.
All this is a result of a CORRUPT deal done in 1915 to bail out the Brits in WW1 they were short of money you see,then we have imperialism as well with the Brits and French dividing up the spoils of defeating the Turks,some what similar to Israel with the west Bank and Gaza,difference is both the Brits and the French left,but the Zionist Israel wont leave Palestine to the original people who seemed to get along OK till the Zionists where imposed on them by the US Britain & Australia after WW2
As ye row so shall ye reap David as the mythological book you rely on says

To plantaganet, David G and John Ryan

Beware that the same fate does not befall you as happened to this fellow:

Hatred in all it's manifestations is to be despised and condemned.

Ponder that thought over the Christmas break - whether you celebrate Christmas or not.

No problem David Singer

If you read http://www.richardsilverstein.com/ from time to time you will notice there is more to the world than neo-Nazis, Likud, Netanyahu or your good self.

Noting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannukah#Symbolic_importance :

"In North America especially, Hanukkah gained increased importance with many Jewish families in the final decades of the 20th century, including large numbers of secular Jews, who wanted a Jewish alternative to the Christmas celebrations that often overlap with Hanukkah. Though it was traditional among Ashkenazi Jews to give "gelt" or money coins to children during Hanukkah, in many families this has changed into gifts in order to prevent Jewish children from feeling left out of the Christmas gift giving."

Hence Happy Hanukkah :)
