		<description><![CDATA[A reminder of  the story of Dr Ismail Zayid, who comments here and on other articles, and whose home lies in ruins under Canada Park.  My brother has a copy of his film and said earlier after I sent this article -

&#039;The first commentator is an haematologist? from Nova Scotia who came from Beit (Castle) Nuba.  He is on an excellent film I have that CBS made.  He comes across as a wonderful man.  He holds up the key to his home.  David &#039;

		<description><![CDATA[Off topic but I just wanted to say RIP for Susannah York who died on Friday from bone marrow cancer. She was a brilliant and beautiful actress. I remember her especially as Alice in They Shoot Horses Dont&#039; They?   

Apart from her professional life she was an active campaigner for nuclear disarmanent and for the release of Mordecai Vanunu, a prisoner of the Zionist Israelis for 18 years.

This is one of the many comments on the Guardian obituary with which I concur.

&#039;Susannah York was a magnificent actress who was utterly mesmerising on screen, combining as she did a palpable sense of her vulnerability with a core of absolute inner strength. And what a truly beautiful voice she had! She was bold and took on really challenging and demanding roles. We hear alot about the &quot;bravery&quot; of some actors - but dedicating her performance in Israel to Mordechai Vannunu - now that was brave and utterly laudable! Thank-You and R.I.P. Susannah.&#039;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well - if Americans have been paying &#039;Kosher tax&#039; for decades - why should not the Israeli poodle Stephen Harper follow in Canada&#039;s neighbors?

Canada Park, a 7,500 acre recreation area covered with pine forest – a few kilometres north-west of Jerusalem has spectacular panaromas, woodland paths, mountain-bike trails, caves and idyllic picnic areas. This park was built at the cost of US$15 million by the Zionist organization, the Jewish National Fund (Canada), an Israeli government arm for confiscating Natives’ land for the Jewish settlers. Most of the Canadian Jews, Christians and others, who donated for the construction of this park – did not know the history of the land on which this park was built – the history of three Palestinian villages of Imwas, Yalu and Beit Nuba – whose two mosques, one church, a graveyard and one school were destroyed by the invading Jewish soldiers who occupied this part of West Bank in 1967. The 10,000 descendants of Palestinian inhabitants of those three villages – expelled by the Israel Occupation Force (IOF) – mostly live in refugee camps in East Jerusalem and near Ramallah.

Historians who are very critical of the Zionist movement, such as Dr. Ilan Pappe (an Israeli Jewish professor at British University of Dexter)), claim that disregarding the existence of Palestinian villages is part of a deliberate effort to erase their history in favor of creating a new one that suits the Zionist narrative of a country that was barren, and only flourished thanks to groups like the JNF. In a study he published, Pappe analyzes the information that JNF provides on several sites, including the Biria Forest, the Jerusalem Forest, the area of Ramat Menashe and the Sataf site near Jerusalem. “The Palestinian orchards are presented as a product of nature, and the history of Palestine is relocated to the period of the Bible and the Talmud,” he writes in his discussion of the site of the village of Ein Zeitun in the Biria Forest……”

		<description><![CDATA[Yves Engler sums up very well the hypocrisy and complicity of our governments, past and present, in allowing our tax-dollars to be contributed towards manifestations of the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory and the war crimes that go on there.

I have, personally, been writing, for over more than 30 years, to our Canadian Revenue Agency ministers, prime ministers and other authorities about the infamy called &quot;Canada Park&quot;, referred to above, without receiving any significant response. This infamy was brought about by the Canadian Jewish National Fund [JNF], using our tax dollars, and being allowed to remain as a registered charity in Canada. This park was established on the ruins of the three xillages Imwas, Yalu and Beit Nuba [my own hometown]. These three villages were systematically dynamited and bulldozed, in June 1967, on the direct orders of Yitzhak rabin, the then Israeli army chief of staff,  after being occupied without a single shot being fired, in the war of aggression waged by Israel on June 5, 1967. This is a war crime, as correctly described by international authorities including Israeli prominent authors and political figures. 

To associate Canada&#039;s name with this infamy and war crime, brings dishonour to Canada&#039;s name.]]></description>
