Ontario CUPE Falls For Arab Rhetoric, Clueless As Well

Ontario Labor Union Joins Boycott Against Israel
14:25 May 29, '06 / 2 Sivan 5766

(IsraelNN.com) The Ontario branch of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has voted to back the international campaign for a boycott against Israel until Jerusalem "recognizes the Palestinian right to self-determination." It is urging the province of Ontario to take Israeli wines off the shelves.

"This is not an attack on Jewish people. It's [an objection to] the state of Israel's policies on Palestinians," CUPE president Sid Ryan said. "They say they are creating an independent state but they're not giving them the tools to do that." The union also condemned what it called the "apartheid wall," referring to the separation barrier which straddles the 1949 Armistice Line.
*******************************************************************
This is a joke right? No, it isn't. First off, since when is Israel responsible for building a Palestinian state? What tools are Israel supposed to give to the Palestinians? Apartheid wall? Try a wall that helps defend Israel against those who want to destroy her. The USA is contemplating walls to protect herself from illegal immigration. Is Cupe going to boycott the USA too? How come Cupe doesn't boycott Arab states for their treatment of women, or for the fact bibles are illegal in Saudi Arabia for example?
This boycott comes on the same day Sid Ryan was re-elected president of Cupe.
I wonder if the two events are related.
Looks like this might affect Israeli wines being sold at LCBO stores. I wonder if any Cupe members are allowed to have medical treatment that was researched and perfected in Israel. What dickheads. This smells very fishy. Do I smell payoffs?

The Sand Dunes On Which Tel Aviv Was Built in 1909


This Palestinian conflict issue is really ridiculous. I mean unbelievable. The whole thing is predicated on one big LIE: Israel is on Arab land.

Just because the Arabs believe this, and they've convinced many Moonbats as well, doesn't mean it is true. It is just OPINION. And an opinion based on nonsense. Just because somebody lives on a land, doesn't make it their land. Do people living in public housing own the buildings, is it their land? If a building gets condemned, they have to move. If they choose to leave their building or not pay rent, they lose their rights to the building.

Here is an excellent historical perspective to prove that the concept that Israel is on Arab land is completely false(from an article How Strong Is The Arab Claim to Palestine by Lawrence Auster:

'There is a myth hanging over all discussion of the Palestinian problem: the myth that this land was "Arab" land taken from its native inhabitants by invading Jews. Whatever may be the correct solution to the problems of the Middle East, let's get a few things straight:

* As a strictly legal matter, the Jews didn't take Palestine from the Arabs; they took it from the British, who exercised sovereign authority in Palestine under a League of Nations mandate for thirty years prior to Israel's declaration of independence in 1948. And the British don't want it back.
* If you consider the British illegitimate usurpers, fine. In that case, this territory is not Arab land but Turkish land, a province of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years until the British wrested it from them during the Great War in 1917. And the Turks don't want it back.
* If you look back earlier in history than the Ottoman Turks, who took over Palestine over in 1517, you find it under the sovereignty of the yet another empire not indigenous to Palestine: the Mamluks, who were Turkish and Circassian slave-soldiers headquartered in Egypt. And the Mamluks don't even exist any more, so they can't want it back.

So, going back 800 years, there's no particularly clear chain of title that makes Israel's title to the land inferior to that of any of the previous owners. Who were, continuing backward:

* The Mamluks, already mentioned, who in 1250 took Palestine over from:
* The Ayyubi dynasty, the descendants of Saladin, the Kurdish Muslim leader who in 1187 took Jerusalem and most of Palestine from:
* The European Christian Crusaders, who in 1099 conquered Palestine from:
* The Seljuk Turks, who ruled Palestine in the name of:
* The Abbasid Caliphate of Baghdad, which in 750 took over the sovereignty of the entire Near East from:
* The Umayyad Caliphate of Damascus, which in 661 inherited control of the Islamic lands from
* The Arabs of Arabia, who in the first flush of Islamic expansion conquered Palestine in 638 from:
* The Byzantines, who (nice people—perhaps it should go to them?) didn't conquer the Levant, but, upon the division of the Roman Empire in 395, inherited Palestine from:
* The Romans, who in 63 B.C. took it over from:
* The last Jewish kingdom, which during the Maccabean rebellion from 168 to 140 B.C. won control of the land from:
* The Hellenistic Greeks, who under Alexander the Great in 333 B.C. conquered the Near East from:
* The Persian empire, which under Cyrus the Great in 639 B.C. freed Jerusalem and Judah from:
* The Babylonian empire, which under Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C. took Jerusalem and Judah from:
* The Jews, meaning the people of the Kingdom of Judah, who, in their earlier incarnation as the Israelites, seized the land in the 12th and 13th centuries B.C. from:
* The Canaanites, who had inhabited the land for thousands of years before they were dispossessed by the Israelites....
....The Arabs have roiled the world for decades with their furious protest that their land has been "stolen" from them. One might take seriously such a statement if it came from a pacifist people such as the Tibetans, who had quietly inhabited their land for ages before it was seized by the Communist Chinese in 1950. The claim is laughable coming from the Arabs, who in the early Middle Ages conquered and reduced to slavery and penury ancient peoples and civilizations stretching from the borders of Persia to the Atlantic; who in 1947 rejected an Arab state in Palestine alongside a Jewish state and sought to obliterate the nascent Jewish state; who never called for a distinct Palestinian Arab state until the creation of the terrorist PLO in 1964—sixteen years after the founding of the state of Israel; and who to this moment continue to seek Israel's destruction, an object that would be enormously advanced by the creation of the Arab state they demand. The Arab claim to sovereign rights west of the Jordan is only humored today because of a fatal combination of world need for Arab oil, leftist Political Correctness that has cast the Israelis as "oppressors," and, of course, good old Jew-hatred."

I Guess Advertising Does Affect The Young Mind

I grew up watching The Flintstones and Bugs Bunny. They were surer things to me than death and taxes. To be fair, when I was 6, I had no real concept of death and absolutely no concept of taxes. In Toronto, in the sixties we had a choice of 5 TV channels. 2 were Canadian, and 3 were out of Buffalo. Canadian TV was pretty boring outside of hockey games and The Flintstones, so it was mostly American TV for me.
Every morning I'd watch Rocketship 7(lots of Bugs), at lunch time, especially when I was in the early grades, I'd come home and have a salami sandwich and watch The Flintstones on CTV. When I came home from school, I'd watch The Commander Tom Show which had toons like Gumby, Bugs, and The Flintstones.

Now, I really don't remember the following commercial very well but apparently it had a huge affect on me. Watch:


Unless you know me, it isn't what you think. I don't smoke, and outside of a 3 week period in my life in grade 9 when I would go with a bunch of the punks at lunch to smoke Colts on a hill behind my Jr. High School, I never acquired that disgusting habit. No commercial that glorified smoking would do me in.
But apparently the idea that housework is woman's work, as seen on the above commercial, has shaped the lazy bum my wife sees each day. What else could it be?
Damn subliminal messages. I could have been a much better husband if I hadn't been brainwashed at such an early age that men aren't supposed to lift a finger around the house.
Didn't The Flintstones also do Christmas specials? How was that explained in Fundy homes I wonder? That kind of stuff has to make a young person think, at least subliminally. How many Atheists were created by The Flintstones? Remember, thinking causes Atheism.

Below are pictures of Rocketship 7's Dave Thomas and Commander Tom (Tom Jolls also doubled as the weather man for channel 7....and continued as weatherman well past Commander Tom's cancellation).



I wish I was 6 again.

Sexual Predator Too Short For Prison WTF?

Richard W. Thompson, guilty of molesting a 12 year old girl is getting probation because a judge is worried about what 4400 prisoners might do him in prison because he is only five foot one. This LOW LIFE is fifty fricken years old. He had sex with a 12 year old child. He should be spun around from one prisoner to the next. And if someone decided to end his life, would it be a tragedy? Not in my books. This would NEVER happen in Arab countries. In Arab countries, the girl would be stoned to death for shaming the family.
Here are the voting results from an internet poll. 16,000 out of 16,200 people who responded to the poll seem to think like me: there should not be any height discrimination for who doesn't have to go to prison.

I don't get the rationale. What is the judge saying? If he was 5 foot 3, he could fend off the loving discipline in prison he deserves? What is the height cut off? What does this say to other short people thinking of molesting?

Richard inspired me to sing a song:


OK, not all short people are evil. In fact, I don't hate most short people and some of my best friends are short (I'm sure you've heard that one before).....it is true though...really. So short people are more than welcome here.

But I am sincere about telling Steve and Bernarda that I don't want them around here, and I don't care how tall or short they are, but my guess is that they are tiny people and hang around with lots of other tiny people.

BTW,I could have changed the words in the song to "Palestinians have no reason....etc". But see I didn't because I'm not the hateful guy some people are trying to make me out to be.

Take This Short IQ Test

THIS TEST IS GOOD TO GO NOW.

A Brief History of the IQ Test

Here is a segment of the documentary "Stupidity." Did you know there are actual classifications for morons, imbeciles, and idiots?


It is estimated that variations in IQ between individuals is around 20-50% due to heritability and 50%-80% due to environment. The enviroment factor alone can explain why Arabs in the middle east perform so poorly on IQ tests. Some researchers want to include genetic factors as cultural factors. For example, in Saudi Arabia, it is cultural for Muslim Arabs to marry close relatives (2nd cousins or closer).

Whenever I debate with Palestinians supporters, I usually come away with one of two thoughts: the person is a complete imbecile, or the person is lying so much that he/she believes the lies. Occasionally, I will come across someone who doesn't know enough about the conflict and has formed an opinion based on hanging with the left too much.
You can tell that there just isn't something right with certain people. Twilight Zone logic is used by those who support the Palestinians, for example. But mostly Palestinian supporters rely on half truths, lies, and fallacies in order to make a point.
Are they really stupid, or just deluded and/or insane. Check out for yourself by reading the comments:

Here is an example of the "logic" used by Pali supporters.

And to the Israel supporters, please don't hold back from commenting on the imbecile's blog.
