MINI ISRAEL SUCKS!

Below is a copy of a letter i sent to the operators of the “mini Israel park”

http://www.minisrael.co.il/home_en.html

they had run a bit on the news about how they were hiring workers and not firing them, as a model builder I thought I’d apply and WOW I got the interview.
But see what happens below!

 

After viewing your news report on arutz 2, just over 3 months ago I applied for a position at your park as a model builder.

I sent in pictures along with my CV.

I was interviewed by Chayem and was told that I fit the requirements for the job.

I brought a CD with pictures of some of my work.

He then told me I would have to agree to the pay which I did.

he then told me I would have to meet with the Smankal which I did.

To him I had the job .

He (Chayem)then told me I would have to wait a couple of weeks till he got back in town to let let one man go.

After he returned to the park i called again as he requested and said call again in a couple of weeks due to he still had to let the guy go and hadn’t found the way of doing it yet.

And that not to worry I had the job in principal? his words not mine)

After the couple of weeks passed he said I would have to wait till after the holyday passed and that he had to let a “Girl” go.

then he told me that he needed me to wait till he found the ”girl” work somewhere else.

He then told me to call on the 24th of may

I called on the 24th of may and he told me that I started in the morning of the 25th.

about 5 hours later he called me to say SORRY no job for you! we are keeping the “girl”. 

 

Now for 3 months I was sure I had this job and I was sure that everything would work out for the best.

But it seems that though you are MINI israelthe issues to deal with in your offices are greater in size then the state itself.

I find the practices of hiring as done by Chayem and your park as shady in the least and have told the news team at Arutiz 2 as much.

When you said we are hiring not firing someone wasn’t telling the truth. and to make a person wait 3 months plus is embarrassing not just for me but for your company as well.

 

I hope that your practices will change in the future and this will be published on my blog along with other sites around Israel on the problems of employment and what to watch out for and which companies should be avoided by olim.

 

 

Now what i see here is one thing. the time span  which i spent waiting.  this seems to me to be the period used for  constructing a new project and that the management used this and my app for the job as a somewhat sleazy incentive for the existing employees of the park ie. “get it in on time or we have people to replace you”

nothing said by the park makes me thing otherwise!

We Remember

At exactly 1100hrs. Today the sirens once again sounded. This time, for two minutes our lives stopped. We stood at attention, at ease, and just bowed our collective heads in remembrance to our fallen loved ones, friends, and brothers in arms. Our lives stopped. Like those we miss so dearly. We remember their faces, their laughter and even their tears. We feel the loss of these people so much that as a whole the country stops in its tracks! I saw people stopping their cars in the middle of an intersection and getting out of the car to stand in memory of someone. Everyone in Israel feels a loss everyone knew someone who is no longer with us. Someone who either left us in the heat of battle or someone who was a victim of terror. The whole of the country is touched. The whole of the country hurts. As a country we stood in honor. We stand in honor, we stand always to remember. Our memories are strong. Israel remembers its 22,570 fallen

Been away from my desk!

OK. So, I’ve been lax in posting for awhile, but each of us needs to take a breather now and then from all our little side activities. And well once “operation cast lead” ended I figured I’d let the dust settle and go out and just take pictures for awhile! While I’ve been away from my desk I’ve noticed that Egypt has taken the smuggling tunnels to task and they are actually closing a lot of them. I’ve also noticed that turkey is still pounding away at the Kurds in Iraq. And I saw the joke that is DURBAN II come and go like a SBD fart. I saw The Idiot of Iran actually make a fool of himself at Durban by performing his version of Adolf Shitler on ice and proving to everyone that the spirit of hate lives on in Iran. I’ve stood in fields of wild poppies in southern Israel while in full bloom and saw that even in a world full of hate that there is beauty to be seen if only you would open your eyes. I spent many hours in these fields enjoying what nature gave. I also found some new archeological sites that I’d never been to. Since returning to Israel I see that they have been very busy in some areas and digging up all sorts of places that I’d walked over never knowing there was a Roman theater or Crusader church under foot. The history folder in my lap top is almost as full as my research folder and because of this I’m going to head out and buy a external terabit hard disk to store the thousands of pics I’ve taken in the time I’ve been away from here. No worries kids, I’ll be back as soon as the weather gets too hot and the politics get too dirty…

in the middle of the poppies you find this!

 

Hope you like them !

Bleating away in Turkey

 

The Turks haven’t stopped calling the Israelis baby killers. They continue to do so, on a daily basis.  But the Turks themselves are in store for some serious historical ass whipping starting very soon and I will be one happy Israeli, who watches and documents every bit of evidence that comes out about how nice our buddies in Turkey rally are.

First up is a report from the BBC that seems to be the only English source for it. (seems that no one else thinks this is serious stuff or they don’t want to piss the Turks off again so they cut the road to Iraq like they threatened to do when the US tried to pass a resolution “demanding that Turkey formally acknowledge the Armenian genocide was scuttled after Turkey threatened to retaliate by cutting off American military supply lines to Iraq.” ( http://news.stanford.edu/news/2009/february25/james-campbell-history-022509.html )

The story from the BBC is “Kurdish ‘grave sites’ to be dug “

And then there is this little gem of denial.

Father sues Turkish Education Ministry over Armenian ‘genocide’ DVD

I wonder what kind of fantasy drug induced world these people live in.

This makes the pot calling the kettle black more than just laughable

Genocide? Where? You got to be kidding me!

I keep seeing reports of Genocide in Gaza. I keep seeing Blogs and posts and other forms of media claiming that there is a holocaust going on, I really have to laugh at this cause these stories, claims, rants and raves are some of the finest fertilizer I’ll ever smell! (Don’t think so hard you might hurt yourselves) Think of it. Israel. The IDF. The strongest fighting forces in the whole ME. Now if there was a Genocide, holocaust, or ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people then who are all those folks living in Gaza right now? What are they doing there? Are they ghosts? Now if Israel was to do something like this as many of you claim there wouldn’t be a living thing in Gaza or the West bank. It would have been over in less time than it takes to blink an eye. So start posting facts and not claims or the rest of the rehashed bullshit.

Puzzled in Gaza? After reading this you might understand what really happened!

After seeing hundreds and hundreds of anti Israel posts filled with blatant LIES and worse I decided to confront a few of these folks. Some answered and even posted my comments. Others just ignored my remarks. While others argued that since I was a Zionist pig on the Israeli payroll that my word was totally invalid.  (I sure wish someone would pay me to write, but sadly I’m on no one’s payroll).  Others who got caught with their pants down had sock puppets answer then they posted that since I was not on their line that I was a Holocaust denier (Shit I’m not a Mel Gibson fan). And that my lies were so vulgar that they refused to allow you the reader to see them  (all the while I asked a question of the sock puppet and the girl behind the blog that was spreading such a twisted lie about Israel forcing a family  to become human shields, after that same family had told the PA papers that they had been shields for Hamas….. funny when you show them proof of their lies that they fail to post the truth… the sock puppet says WE the Israelis kicked her family out. I asked REALLY? What year? What village?  And are you sure it was us or the Grand mufti that told them to leave? This was also considered evil and that I should shut my mouth Zionist pig etc, ad nausea. So I present to you a little bit of some of the truth that was found out there, some of the facts that none of the pin headed lying sacks tend to see, (OK I’m hard handed but I don’t want to anger other groups out there and the pin heads of the world don’t even know I’m labeling them with this bunch of mug whomp short bus riding miscreants.

The following link makes for a very interesting read.

The next one corrects the numbers. Seems that Hamas members failed math in school, (Oh wait they shut the school down and turned it into a weapons dump after they killed teacher) I know the source by some will be tainted but I’m figuring that it will soon be in other publications worldwide for all to read,, (and maybe the UN can send Hamas a math tutor).

Hamas failed Math but what’s new? Click here to read the truth

 

And if the Turks think I’m done with them. Just wait till my next rant, I’m going to over stuff those History revising twits if it is the last thing I do. (Thanksgiving ain’t ever going to be the same round here).

 

Getting the facts straight. Who are the Palestinians?

 “The Myth of Palestine”

 Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda and Information, said that a big lie that is told often enough and long enough will eventually be accepted as truth. With cooperation from the world’s media, coupled with ignorance, apathy, and anti-Semitism among the nations, Israel is being presented as a giant Goliath killing little Davids who are only armed with stones. There would be peace in the Middle East if only Goliath Israel would agree to little David’s demand for a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. This is one of the many lies constantly repeated to the uninformed West. The purpose of this presentation is to expose some of the myths (read that big lies) regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. Myth #1 – The Myth of Palestine In an article entitled, “The Lesson of Palestine,” printed in the Middle East Journal, October 1949, Arab activist, Musa Alami, wrote, “how can people struggle for their nation, when most of them do not know the meaning of the word? … The people are in great need of a “myth” of imagination. The myth of nationality would create “identity” and “self-respect.” The Arab world has certainly demonstrated great skill in the “myth” of imagination. They have done such a good job that they have convinced much of the world that their “myths” are facts. Perhaps their biggest myth is the myth of Palestine. The Arab world would have us believe that the Palestinians have been in “Palestine” from “time immemorial” but were displaced by the Jews when Israel became a state in 1948. But what are the facts? While we are not certain of the exact dates, Joshua conquered the Land God promised the Jews in the 13th century BCE. King David established Jerusalem as the capital of Israel around 1000 BCE. King Solomon built the Jewish Temple about 960 BCE. This was almost 1000 years before the beginning of Christianity and 1600 years before the rise of Islam. As Prime Minister Barak has noted, “When Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the feasts, he didn’t come to a church or a mosque, he came to the Temple.” It is not the Church Mount or the Mosque Mount that is fought over, it is the Temple Mount. It was the Temple Mount centuries before Christianity tried to make it the Church Mount and Islam tried to make it the Mosque Mount. However, not to be confused with facts, in a personal audience I had several years ago with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who was appointed by Arafat, he boldly declared that the Arabs had been living in the Land for 10,000 years. Based on conservative Bible chronology, that means the Arabs have been living in the Land before the Almighty created Adam and Eve. How did Israel become Palestine and who are the Palestinians? The second Jewish war with the Romans took place in 132-135 CE. Led by Rabbi Akiva and Simon bar Kochba, the Jewish uprising was crushed by the Roman Emperor Hadrian who sought to de-Judaize Jerusalem and make it a pagan city. Hadrian renamed Jerusalem “Aelia Capitolina” in honor of Jupiter. He changed the name of Judea and gave it the name of the Jews ancient enemy, the Philistines. He called it — Palestine. Over time, Palestine was ruled by the Roman Byzantines (312-637) [Persian interrupt 614-629], Omayyad Arabs (638-750), Islamic Abbassid’s (750-1099), Crusaders (1099-1291) [Saladin the Kurd interrupt 1187-93], Mamluks (1291-1516), Ottoman Turks (1517-1917), and the British Mandate (1917-1948). None of these rulers established a sovereign state in the Land and Jerusalem was never the capital of any empire since the time of King David. Palestine was a forgotten desolate, wasteland, but historical records show there was always a Jewish presence in the Land. The revival of modern Jewish life in the Land began in the 1880’s with the arrival of Russian refugees from the Russian pogroms. A second wave of immigration, also from Russia, was in 1905. This was followed by later immigrations resulting in a growing Jewish population in the Land. When the Jews came to the Land, they found a malaria infested swamp in the north and an uninhabitable desert in the south. It was as if the God of the Bible had kept the Land hidden away in obscurity until the rightful owners — the Jews returned to claim it. The Jewish pioneers did not steal the Land from the Arabs. They purchased the Land at highly inflated prices from absentee landlords living outside the Land. As the Jews worked the Land, it began to prosper. While there were Jews and Arabs living in the Land, there were many poor migrant Arab farm workers in the surrounding Arab countries who needed work. When they heard that the Land was prospering under the hand of the Jews, they migrated to Palestine to get work from the Jews. Furthermore, the British allowed many thousands of Arabs into Palestine illegally while barring the Jews from entering the Land. For the most part, the Arab Palestinians are these peasant farm workers and illegal aliens. “Palestinians” have never been a distinct people, they have never had a sovereign land called Palestine, Jerusalem has never been their capital, there is no Palestinian language or culture, and there is no Palestinian people. It is a myth created after the Jews liberated Jerusalem in 1967. Before the birth of the State of Israel, Arab leaders themselves denied the existence of an Arab country called Palestine. In 1937, Arab leader, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi said, “There is no such country [as Palestine]! ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. ‘Palestine” is alien to us; it is the Zionists who introduced it.” In 1946, a distinguished Princeton professor and Arab historian said, “There is no such thing as Palestine in Arab history, absolutely not.” All who lived in the Land, Jews, Arabs, and Christians, were called Palestinians. In fact, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestinian Post. Under the British Mandate, the Palestinian Jews were given a state. But before this state came into existence, Colonial Secretary, Winston Churchill, in 1922, took away seventy-seven percent of the geographic area promised to the Jews and created Transjordan as a state for the Palestinian Arabs. Israel would be for the Palestinian Jews and Transjordan (now Jordan) for the Palestinian Arabs. Israel became a state in the War of Independence in 1948. At that time, approximately 600,000 Arabs fled to become refugee pawns in the hands of neighboring Arab states. Some number of Arabs stayed to become Israeli citizens. While we certainly sympathize with the plight of the Arab refugees, their problems could easily be solved if their Arab brothers cared enough to assimilate them as the Jews did their own 800,000 immigrants from the Arab countries.

On Boycotting Starbucks (get your facts straight, get your facts right here)

I’ll state this  as fact, I’m no fan of starbucks coffee or it’s stores.

i think their coffee is just brown shit, that is over priced.

I think that the names they give the coffee they peddle are stupid, and I think the folks that work there should stop being so uppity about what you order and stop trying to teach people a new language when they do wander in and happen to buy a cup.

BUT I’m a fan of fact, I’m a fan of fairness. and I think that those thatr scream for boycotting a company should get their facts straight before they open up their pie holes . SO please read the following message from the folks at stabucks.

Me? I’m headed off to get a real cup of Cuban coffee (Nothing beats a colada in the morning)

Facts about Starbucks in the Middle East Arabic Language Statement It is disheartening that calls for boycotts of Starbucks stores and products, which are based on blatant untruths, have had direct impacts on local economies and residents, and have also led to violent situations involving our stores, partners (employees) and customers. Our more than 160,000 partners and business associates around the globe have diverse views about a wide range of topics. Regardless of that spectrum of belief, Starbucks Coffee Company remains a non-political organization. We do not support any political or religious cause. Further, allegations that Starbucks provides financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army in any way are unequivocally false. Unfortunately, these rumors persist despite our best efforts to refute them. What we do believe in, and remain focused on, is staying true to our company’s long-standing heritage — simply connecting with our partners and customers over a cup of high quality coffee and offering the best experience possible to them – regardless of geographical location. Though our roots are in the United States, we are a global company with stores in 49 countries, including more than 230 stores in nine Middle Eastern countries. In countries where we do business, we are proud to be a part of the fabric of the local community — working directly with local partners who operate our stores, employing thousands of local citizens, serving millions of customers and positively impacting many others through our support of neighborhoods and cities. Myths Is it true that Starbucks provides financial support to Israel? No. This is absolutely untrue. Rumors that Starbucks Coffee Company provides financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army are unequivocally false. Starbucks is a publicly held company and as such, is required to disclose any corporate giving each year through a proxy statement. In addition, articles in the London Telegraph (U.K.), New Straits Times (Malaysia), and Spiked (online) provide an outside perspective on these false rumors. Has Starbucks ever sent any of its profits to the Israeli government and/or Israeli army? No. This is absolutely untrue. Is it true that Starbucks is teaming with other American corporations to send their last several weeks of profits to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army? No. This is absolutely untrue. Is it true that Starbucks closed its stores in Israel for political reasons? No. We do not make business decisions based on political issues. We decided to dissolve our partnership in Israel in 2003 due to the on-going operational challenges that we experienced in that market. After many months of discussion with our partner we came to this amicable decision. While this was a difficult decision for both companies, we believe it remains the right decision for our businesses. Middle East Partnership and Operations Do you work with a Middle East partner to operate Starbucks stores? Through a licensing agreement with trading partner and licensee MH Alshaya WLL, a private Kuwait family business, Starbucks has operated in the Middle East since 1999. Today Alshaya Group, recognized as one of the leading and most influential retailing franchisees in the region, operates more than 274 Starbucks stores in the Middle East and Levant region. In addition to its Starbucks stores, the Alshaya Group operates more than 1,700 other retail stores in the region, providing jobs for more than 15,000 employees of more than 35 nationalities. We are extremely fortunate and proud to have forged a successful partnership for the past ten years and look forward to building on this success. In which Middle Eastern countries do you operate? We partner with Alshaya Group to operate Starbucks stores in Egypt, Kuwait, KSA, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Jordan and Lebanon in the Middle East region. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many communities, and we are committed to providing the Starbucks Experience while respecting the local customs and cultures of each country we are a part of. We are also committed to hiring locally, providing jobs to thousands of local citizens in the countries where we operate. Are you still operating Starbucks stores in Israel? If not, do you have plans to re-open should the opportunity arise? We decided to dissolve our partnership in Israel in 2003 due to the on-going operational challenges that we experienced in that market. When and where the business case makes sense and we see a fit for the Starbucks brand in a market we will work closely with a local partner to assess the feasibility of offering our brand to that community. We will therefore continue to assess all opportunities on this basis. At present, we will continue to grow our business in the Middle East as we have been very gratified by the strong reception of the brand in the region. We continue to work closely with our business partner, the Alshaya Group, in developing our plans for the region.

Turkey has nothing to say!

Why? well looks like the turks that bleat and scream at Israel are not as clean as they say they are, and no i’m not going into their past I’m going into their now

“Turkish warplanes hit Kurdish rebels northern Iraq

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s military says its warplanes have struck Kurdish rebel targets inside northern Iraq.

Brig. Gen. Metin Gurak, the military spokesman, says Air Force jets bombed the Hakurk area on Wednesday and Thursday. Gurak made the announcement during a weekly news conference on Friday.

It is the latest of a series of Turkish strikes against rebel hideouts in northern Iraq, from where the guerrillas have staged hit-and-run attacks on Turkish targets for decades.

The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has been fighting for self-rule in Turkey’s southeast since 1984.

Turkey has launched several aerial attacks and one major ground operation against rebel bases across the border with Iraq this year.”

They not only attack the Kurds they attack them in Iraq.

so what it looks like to me is they really have nothing to say to anyone over  any issues let alone Israel and Gaza!

and for you unknowing ones out there that might find it funny. while Turkey bleats and screams at us in Israel, they continue to by Israeli made weapons which they use to hit the Kurds.

I’ll let the Arabic Gentelman Tell it all.

this is the second part about HAMAS through the eyes and words on an Arab….

so you can’t say Zionist garbage to this one.  it might just be time for all the folks to open their collective ears and eyes and learn for once instead of paying the death dancers and the band.
