MH 17 - The plot deepens.

NEW MH17 SENSATION: German experts point finger at Ukrainian air-force jets

Surface to air missile attack ruled out as calibre of cockpit bullet holes puts Ukraine pilots in the frame for MH17 murders

This is what a German pilot-cum-air technology expert Peter Haisenko has just published on the subject of the MH17 disaster (my emphases):

‘The misfortune of the Malaysian MH 017 is known to all. The flight
recorder is in England and is being evaluated. What can come of this?
May be more than you want to accept….if you look at the image of
Cockpit-Fragments, this picture is certainly shocking.
Entry And Exit holes from bullets in the area of the Cockpit. This is not speculation, but analysis of clear facts: the cockpit
shows clear evidence of bullet holes. You can see the entry holes and
some exit points. The edges of the bullet holes are bent inwards,
these are much smaller and round in shape. A 30mm calibre. The exit
holes are less well formed and the edges are torn outwards.
Furthermore it is visible that the exit holes have torn the double
aluminium skin and bent them outwards. That is to say, splinters from
inside the cockpit blew through the outside of the cabin. The open
rivets have also been bent outwards….There is only one conclusion one can make, and that is that this: the aircraft was not hit by a missile. The damage to the aircraft is exclusively in the cockpit area…. 

Armour-Piercing Ammunition. Russia has published radar data that a
Ukranian SU 25 was close to MH 017. this corresponds with Spanish air traffic control that two Ukranian fighter aircraft were in direct contact with MH 017. 

Examine the weaponry of the SU 25: it is fitted out with a 30mm cannon Type GSch-302 /AO-17A, with 250 rounds of splintering exploding bullets on a belt – shrapnel rounds. 

The cockpit of MH 017 was hit from TWO sides, as there are entry and exit holes on the same side….’
Very compelling stuff, is it not?

On the "Muslim Problem"

A well compiled article. Share this with your friends......

by Prabath Dharmadasa A few weeks ago there was an article in the Island newspaper about the "Muslim problem." After reading it I felt that it was a storm in a teacup. I don't think our country has a "Muslim problem" at all. In fact, to the contrary if more Sri Lankans followed the example set by the Muslim community perhaps we would be a more peaceful country. Many Muslims are trilingual, well integrated with the Sinhalese and Southern Sri Lanka just would not be the same without them. The truth is, we never had a "Muslim problem" in Sri Lanka. This is a mindset that has entered our country from the west through its media that seeks to demonise Islam and the Muslims. Can we really judge more than one billion Muslims by the actions of a few? Terrorists did indeed attack America and the United Kingdom, but why exactly should Muslims in Sri Lanka reap the whirlwind? When those in Europe were intolerant to anything that they saw as threatening their Judeo-Christian homogeneity, in Sri Lanka Muslims were living side by side with the Buddhist majority and fighting together against foreign invaders. The Sinhalese Buddhist kings never persecuted them, or their religion. On the contrary Muslims were free to practice their faith as they wished. The populace did not regard the Muslims as some strange "other" to be viewed with suspicion but equal citizens who were part and parcel of the kingdom. That is why there were so many intermarriages and Muslims in Kandy have a "ge" name as well. Infact, Muslims were regarded as fine soldiers and were even brought to the island to serve the kings. Today people from the west lecture us about "diversity" but we have a long tradition of that. In this country it is not a crime to wear the hijab like it is in France or Turkey. It is fine to have Islamic schools and nationwide Islamic holidays. Madrasahs are not treated as terrorist indoctrination camps. Mosques are not banned because "they don't fit in with the local architecture." It is not okay to create cartoons mocking a religious figure held sacred by a large section of humanity. The truth is, those in Europe are finally coming to grips with true diversity - with the religious, cultural, ethnic and linguistic diversity that we in Sri Lanka are quite familiar with. Let us not take the path of the west when it comes to our Muslim community. We may be a poor country but in this respect I believe we truly are much more progressive than the so-called secular west. There may  be some fundamentalists (who exist in all religions) among the Sri Lankan Muslim community, but they have never posed a threat because the vast majority of Muslims do not subscribe to their views. We should have faith in the Muslim community's ability to self regulate any extremism. Muslims may be persecuted in other countries, but we should never let that happen in Sri Lanka. If we put into practice what the Buddha taught we have nothing to fear for "hatred never ceases through hatred in this world; through love alone does it cease." -- The moment you have hatred,even with good reason,that hatred will hurt you before it hurts anyone else.- Swami Satprakashananda.

The Duke of Cambridge, heir to the throne, is an Anglo-Indian

By Hannah Strange, The Telegraph.

A geneticist at Edinburgh University has confirmed that DNA tests from members of his family have proved he has an Indian descent on his mother’s side.

Six generations before him, Eliza Kewark, had a relationship with one of his mother Princess Diana’s ancestors, Thoedore Forbes, and bore him several children, including a daughter, Katherine, in 1812.

Ms Kewark has, until now, always been thought to have been an Armenian living in India, where she met Theodore Forbes, a Scottish noble working for the East India Company which then ruled much of India.

But DNA testing on saliva samples from William’s relatives by Jim Wilson, a geneticist at the University of Edinburgh, and the company Britain’s DNA have established beyond doubt that she was in fact an Indian.

The clinching evidence is a rare type of DNA, R30b, found so far in only 14 others, all Indian except for one person, from neighbouring Nepal.

Their discovery makes William one of the world’s dwindling number of Anglo-Indians, who are now thought to number less than 350,000.

Anglo-Indians were discriminated against by the British during the Raj because of racism and many were consigned to work on India’s railways where they continued to work after independence. Their number include the singer Engelburt Humperdink, the actor Ben Kingsley, and, according to some, Sir Cliff Richard.

Many were the result of secret affairs between tea planters and Indian pickers on their estates or relationships between British soldiers and local girls. Because of this they were also discriminated against by many Indians. Their women were referred to in derogatory terms as ‘Chutney Marys.’

Now, according to the findings of Britain’s DNA, this marginalised community which has lived in the overlap between British and Indian society now has a new royal patron.

According to the researchers, Eliza Kewark’s daughter Katherine returned to Scotland where she exchanged letters with her mother back in India in Gujarati, and later married a James Crombie in Aberdeen. Their great-grand-daughter married Maurice Burke Roche, the fourth Baron Fermoy, which took her Anglo-Indian into the aristocracy and eventually, through their granddaughter the Princess of Wales, into the DNA of Britain’s future king.

Leading Indian commentator Swapan Dasgupta said the discovery of Indian DNA in the prince had righted an historical wrong. Most of India’s invaders and occupiers, including the Aryans and the Mughals, had eventually become Indian, except the British.

“They came as foreigners but got absorbed. I’m happy the Indian strain remains in the British monarchy. India may have been lost [to Britain], but an Indian remains,” he said

JEWISH MARRYING GAME

Forwarded by Chella Pathmanathan.

A good Hassidic family is most concerned that their 30-year-old son is unmarried.

So, they call a marriage broker and ask him to find their son a good wife.

They give him a long shopping list of requirements.

The marriage broker takes a long time looking.

He  tells them of a wonderful girl. He says she's just the right age for the son.

The girl  keeps a Glatt Kosher home, regularly attends synagogue, knows the prayers by heart,

and she’s a wonderful cook.

She loves children and wants a large family.

And, to crown it all off, she's gorgeous.

The family is very impressed and begins to get excited about the prospects.

But the son pauses and asks inappropriately: 'Is she also good in bed?'

The marriage broker answers, 'Some say yes, some say no...!'

Ways of 'Senior citizens'.

A  little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food. She picked up three cans and took them to the checkout counter.

The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat.

A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat."

The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store.

They sold her the cat food.

The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food.

 Again, the cashier said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog.

A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog."

So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.

The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid.

The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. 
The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there."

The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her.

So the cashier put her finger into the box and quickly pulled it out.

She said to the little old lady, "That smells like  shit !

The little old lady said, "It is.

I want to buy three rolls of toilet paper."

Dean Martin - Memories are made of this
***LYRICS***
Sweet, sweet memories you gave-a me
you can't beat the memeories you gave-a me

Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of bliss
One girl, one boy
Some grief, some joy
Memories are made of this

Don't forget a small moonbeam
Fold in lightly with a dream
Your lips and mine
Two sips of wine
Memories are made of this

Then add the wedding bells
One house where lovers dwell
Three little kids for flavour
Stir carefully through the days
See how the flavour stays
These are the dreams you will savour

With His blessings from above
Serve it generously with love
One man, one wife
One love through life
Memories are made of this
Memories are made of this

Slaughter in Gaza - A Venerable Jewish Voice for Peace.

Email forwarded by Gunsie

“When one thinks that this is what is necessary for Israel to survive, that the Zionist dream is based on the repeated slaughter of innocents on a scale that we’re watching these days on television, that is really a profound crisis”

By Amy Goodman

The Israeli assault on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip has entered its fourth week. This military attack, waged by land, sea and air, has been going on longer than the devastating assault in 2008/2009, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians. The death toll in this current attack is at least 1,300, overwhelmingly civilians. As this column was being written, the United Nations confirmed that a U.N. school in Gaza, where thousands of civilians were seeking shelter, was bombed by the Israeli Defense Forces, killing at least 20 people. The United Nations said it reported the exact coordinates of the shelter to the Israeli military 17 times.

Henry Siegman, a venerable dean of American Jewish thought and president of the U.S./Middle East Project, sat down for an interview with the “Democracy Now!” news hour. An ordained rabbi, Siegman is the former executive director of the American Jewish Congress and former executive head of the Synagogue Council of America, two of the major, mainstream Jewish organizations in the United States. He says the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories must end.

“There is a Talmudic saying in the ‘Ethics of the Fathers,’” Siegman started, “‘Don’t judge your neighbor until you can imagine yourself in his place.’ So, my first question when I deal with any issue related to the Israeli-Palestinian issue: What if we were in their place?”

He elaborated, “No country and no people would live the way Gazans have been made to live ... our media rarely ever points out that these are people who have a right to live a decent, normal life, too. And they, too, must think, ‘What can we do to put an end to this?’”

Born in Germany in 1930, Siegman and his family were persecuted by the Nazis. “I lived two years under Nazi occupation, most of it running from place to place and in hiding,” he recalled. His father took his mother and their six children to Belgium, to France, to North Africa, then, after two months at sea, dodging German submarines, they arrived at Ellis Island. He told us: “I always thought that the important lesson of the Holocaust is not that there is evil, that there are evil people in this world who could do the most unimaginably cruel things. That was not the great lesson of the Holocaust. The great lesson of the Holocaust is that decent, cultured people, people we would otherwise consider good people, can allow such evil to prevail, that the German public—these were not monsters, but it was OK with them that the Nazi machine did what it did.”

His father was a leader of the European Zionist movement, which sought a national homeland for the Jewish people. Siegman said: “As a kid even, [I was] an ardent Zionist. I recall on the ship coming over, we were coming to America, and I was writing poetry and songs—I was 10 years old, 11 years old—about the blue sky of Palestine. In those days we referred to it as Palestina.”

Henry Siegman became a prominent leader in American Jewish life. When I asked him to reflect on his long history with Zionism and to respond to the current assault on Gaza, he said: “It’s disastrous. ... When one thinks that this is what is necessary for Israel to survive, that the Zionist dream is based on the repeated slaughter of innocents on a scale that we’re watching these days on television, that is really a profound crisis - and should be a profound crisis - in the thinking of all of us who were committed to the establishment of the state and to its success.”

I asked Siegman to watch a clip from CBS’s “Face the Nation.” The show’s host, Bob Schieffer, recently closed the program by saying, “Last week I found a quote of many years ago by Golda Meir, one of Israel’s early leaders, which might have been said yesterday: ‘We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children,’ she said, ‘but we can never forgive them for forcing us to kill their children.’”

Siegman said that he had seen the broadcast. He replied: “If you don’t want to kill Palestinians, if that’s what pains you so much, you don’t have to kill them. You can give them their rights, and you can end the occupation. And to put the blame for the occupation and for the killing of innocents that we are seeing in Gaza now on the Palestinians—why? Because they want a state of their own? They want what Jews wanted and achieved?”

As the United States resupplies Israel with ammunition, more than 250 children in Gaza have been killed. Instead of providing weapons, the U.S. and the rest of the world should pressure Israel to stop the slaughter.

Henry Siegman (born 1930) is a German-born American, president of the "U.S./Middle East Project". He is a non-resident research professor at the Sir Joseph Hotung Middle East Program, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, a former Senior Fellow on the Middle East at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a former National Director of the American Jewish Congress.

Siegman, a Jewish American, was born in 1930 in Frankfurt, Germany. Moving to the United States, Siegman studied and was ordained as an Orthodox Rabbi by Yeshiva Torah Vodaas. He served as a chaplain in the Korean War, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart.
