PULEEEZE TAKE NOTE!

Today is Sunday, Easter Sunday, so I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter. I would also like to say that I hope everyone has had a happy and healthy Passover. That said, being a Sunday I was able to listen to several of the talk shows on TV. I realized that there is a lot to address. Some of what I have to say may come across as political, but I must say it nevertheless.....so here goes.

First I was upset to learn that most of our GM cars are sold in China. This goes hand in hand with the fact that there is still so much employment from our country sent to other countries to perform as it appears to be cheaper. Well, we now have over 4 million people out of work! I would like to ask all of you to really be on the lookout for jobs that become or could become available. If they aren't forthcoming---create some. I know most of you reading this will feel that you are not in a position to do so. Perhaps however, you know someone who is. Talk to them whenever you can.

I further believe that the unemployment is directly related to the amazing crimes that are being committed. Here in Florida it is like nowhere else I have ever lived. The anger is so great. Especially amongst the young people. Having money and all that it affords, indeed takes away our greatest stressors. Not having the money and all that it affords, is creating havoc with our society in terms of crime being used, perhaps, as release of this anger. Once again, please do what you can to get our workers back to work!!

On a more personal note I am very concerned about Israel not remaining a Jewish state.
My father was a member of the Hagannah, the Israeli underground. I, as an eight year old remember him talking about getting men into his office in order to raise enough money to get 300 children out of Poland that night! He had a part in obtaining the generators to guide ships filled with Holocaust survivors into Israel. There was tremendous excitement in our home in 1948 when Israel became an independent Jewish state.

Folks, antisemitism hasn't gone away. It probably never will. For this reason I was shaken to the core when a cameraman working on the set of my tv show, Coffeebreak, in 1972-73, told me during the oil crisis that was taking place: "If I'm cold this winter, I'm going to burn you!"

My first reaction was to ask myself where we would go if this kind of antisemitism were to grow in the USA. Only the word "Israel" came to my mind. And if you look at a globe you will have to plan for some time to even find Israel. It is a speck in this world. But a speck that has shown the rest of us so very much. So much of our intelligence comes from Israel. From an arid desert, they have made the most beautiful land. So please let Hillary know that once we open the borders, Israel, as a safe Jewish state will be gone! We all are aware of the Palestinian track record and we've all heard from Hamas and from Iran that they would like to erase Israel from the face of the earth. Israel has managed to stand up to all the scapegoating and bullying. Please convince our government to remain solidly in their corner as they always have.

Thanks for listening to my outrage...I'm just trying to do my part in bringing some order to the chaos around us. Hope you enjoyed the session...I look forward to hearing from you.
