[The following comes from Colleen’s son who is a regular visitor to my site. They are ex-Rhodesians living in the USA. His boss is a Jew who has the Israeli and American flags on his website, and he is pro-Bush. Note his comments about what the Arabs do to Christians, gays and women. Remember I have mentioned the so-called “Honour Killings” of the Arabs when they murder a woman in their own family perhaps for having a love affair they did not approve of. Her own family, including her own mother, might actually kill her. Dreadful stuff.

I agree with his views about feelings being predominant over facts. That is a very serious problem in this world of ours. We are in what I would call “The Female age” where all we care about are feelings, whereas the “Male age” is more about hard things, about stark facts. The danger with this “female approach” is how it muddles our thinking and prevents us from destroying those who are actually plotting to destroy us… the Western world. If we don’t stop with this “feelings” nonsense, we will ourselves be destroyed in time to come. Jan]

His comments are interesting as he fights with a leftist professor:-

Dear Mr. Rogovin,
I read with dismay your response to the considered letter of Trish concerning an Israeli flag on your website. It was a measured letter, an announcement of conscience, and you chose the most insulting, ranting, viciously personal and racist language in your response. It is little wonder there is no peace in the Middle East, with people like you. Israel does not need friends like you. Thank you for your attention. Prof. James C. Faris, Director Emeritus, University of Connecticut Program in Middle East Languages and Area Studies.

The American Jew replies:-
This little merry-go-round of sending around my email is incredible. It is obviously an attempt to intimidate me since I run a consumer products company. It is too bad you have chosen to ignore the obvious in this. I really do despise the left.

As for your letter, Prof, let me point out, first, the obvious contradiction:
“It was a measured letter, an announcement of conscience…” versus
“…and you chose the most insulting, ranting, viciously personal
and racist language in your response.”

No, pardon me for having the effrontery of questioning an academic (though you guys have become quite suspect for having rad-left tendencies these days….), but to state it was “measured” and “an annoucement of conscience” certainly doesn’t square with the rest of your mini-diatribe. Does it? What was measured? What was “insulting, ranting, viciously personal and racist”? Especially, WHAT was “racist”? Tell me that Arab culture and Islam does not murder and oppress gays and women and is driving Christians out? Tell me how to state this is such a PC manner that it wouldn’t offend you?

As for “personal,” yes, I did let her know that she’s a fool. She is. I DON’T suffer fools gladly. This is NOT a self-esteem society. WE ARE AT WAR WITH MASS MURDERERS, SIR! This is a DEADLY situation… and I don’t think during WW2 we would have suffered these New Age morons any more than we should today. Sorry about that (actually NOT!).

New Age believers FEELINGS are more important than FACTS. In fact, THERE ARE NO “facts.” There are ONLY OPINIONS! And if you do not understand that about the New Age then you need to take a little time away from your current mideast studies and do a little work on the New Age nonsense. It’s truly a fright in itself: In my case, I tell a (New Age) store clerk that another companies product has a TOXIC AMOUNT OF A MINERAL IN IT and (usually) she gets OFFENDED! It’s not about science or facts, it’s about… FEELINGS….

And, frankly, your own email comes dangerously close to the same pathology.

As for the nonsensical statement that it is no wonder to you that there is no peace in the Mideast, is like saying that because I think the U.S. should have bombed Auschwitz during the war, no wonder the Nazis had to kill Jews or some such nonsense. Your statement is RIDICULOUS! Hamas did NOT win yesterday because of MY attitude. Hamas won because those Nazis are LOVED by their voters. Golda Meir said that there would be peace when Arab mothers love their own children more than they hate Jewish children.
Sir, you are BLAMING THE MESSENGER. Get over it. The truth may be awful and painful, but it is the TRUTH. Divorce your feelings and get real.
12 years ago I said Israel should get out of Gaza, build a fence around the West Bank and pull out of the far flung parts of the West Bank…. People like you back then said I was a “bigot.” So am I now a prophet?
As for racist, one of the main reasons why I wanted Saddam removed was because he killed directly over 300,000 of his own people….. I’m a little more humane than you give me credit for.

When the Arabs respect other people and other religions there will be peace. The fact is THEY DON’T! So have a little respect for me.
