The Rally,

                Much like the Paris Peace Confrence did not live up to it's hype. The Conference came out with a Generic Final Statement Draft and the Rally for us was a short Five minute Video tying to agitate the Neturi Karta.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECeIr_gcV64. Roger Jamala and my Cameraman Dave Miraj have been Blacklisted in the Hasadic sect due in part to our " Black Lives matter Protest" coverage  you can watch here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD68OUVEbYg   and Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twh690MmscE&t=5s....Two Weeks and the Failures and Disappointments are still there, help maybe on it's way....Perhaps not for the most Altruistic reasons, but non the less the in the spirit of kinship, I will be passing up on my potential Invite to a Function, knowing that the party involved maybe limited on Invitations,,,,,,,," I have a Dream", Thanks to The Weird History FB Page, I learned that  MLK was Stabbed with a steel letter opener, and almost died in a 1958 Book Signing in Harlem. The perpetrator Izola Curry  (no relation to Del or Stephen) Suffered from  schizophrenia.....Still Scoring at Home the Tally is at 19, But I'm running out of Gas No pun intended.........

An Israeli

   Sneezes and Arab Catches a cold, The world is Aghast, Resolutions and condemnations start rolling in, and on wards and on wards..... The Anti French Peace Conference rally, garnered approximately half of Block enthusiastic protesters in front of the French Mission to the UN.  A  Recognition of the good, goes out to the Crowd that included Students, Business People, and the elderly. What I did NOT like, Some of the signs that were held up Spewing President Obama as anti Israeli Muslim, and a lot of the Rhetoric and Vitriol of some of the speakers, That was trying to fuel up the crowd, Though Americas Rabbi Shmuely was on Point and Spoke Eloquently......  The Reality is: The UN consists of 57 members of the OIC (organisation of Islamic), The Continent of Africa, Other rogue States around the world and an ever growing Hostile Western Europe. Basically it's a Numbers Game,and Despite Mr Netanyahou Assertion that the world is turning, The Math will always turn out right.....On January 15th, Seventy Two nations will Vote to impose the Auschwitz Borders on Israel. The Best case scenario, They'll succeed and they wont be able to push a resolution before the 20th..... The Worst..............

Still

           Going Dark it's been , Noine Days and  not getting any easier. Their is a "Shame on the UN"event tomorrow that must be covered, After my Debacle at the DNC This summer, I will be Proffesional Moron and hopefully get good coverage.......When I paid $950 to fix  my car, at the end of the lease,  I was told by the Mechanic that would cover all expenses. Therefore I wasn't surprised to receive a  bill for $4642.44, This is not going to end up well....Speaking of Money, Since 05/13/2016 , I spend $1814.37 On Chachkis Sports memorabilia, Some Notable Items A Sense John Kreese  ot the Cobra Kai Autographed photo, Artis Gilmore Signed Kentucky Colonels Jersey, and a whole bunch of other crap..... Banking Regulations ? How is it that TD bank opened their doors at 8:26 4 minutes before the 8:30 Open time, But Citi Bank wouldn't open their doors till a minute after Noine for their 9:00 open time........The Tally is up to Thirteen 1.18 times per day...........Another  Plug My Speech at the Anti Trump rally Post Election  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYcqFoh_Wr0

Will President

        Obama in the Lame duck Session of his Presidency Finally Pardon OJ? After all it's not like he Killed Somebody..........Sharing links to Some BJ Tv's Videos .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_qx5JuoZUs&t=23s..........Jews around the world, Can write to to the Email Address kotel@onemail.bezeq.com, Twice per week these Emails are printed out and taken to the " Occupied" Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.... Benjamin Netanyahou, is being investigated Yet again, This time for accepting Gifts, Such as suits and Cigars, It's a step up from the Previous corruption Charges of his Wife collecting State issued  Bottles and cans and pocketing the recycling Money. As well As the Netanuahou's wasting State water by using the #2 Flusher for #1 Purposes............Speaking of #2  the Tally is at Noine for the year, Not sure I'll Be able to keep that up "............. and even though it all went wrong. I'll Stand before the Lord of Song.........."

We Don't Need

   Any More Resolutions, Only Solutions, Was a Phrase the late Shimon P(H)eres often Used. The Inveterate Schemer Served in practically every position imagined in the Israeli Govt, and was Awarded a Nobel peace Prize, The Joke in Israel, of course was for Making peace with Rabin, Rather than  Yasser Arafag .............. No matter how much Territory is diced up, How may Settlements Removed, The Arabs will NEVER,  concede to the Term Jewish State, or give up what they Deem is the " Right of Return". Case closed........An Idea Dawned on me, as I was sitting on a Train Bound to nowhere, Looking over  at an Older looking Asian Woman flossing her teeth. Why not make  ......................................... With so many new Innovations, I'm sure something like this can be useful to Someone.........My count is Five Thus far............

Israel

      is famously known for its Four Seasons, Spring,Summer, elections and War. For the Locals it's times to Squabble over Air conditions or Windows, Right v Left Etc.  Unfortunately The One Season that Seems to bring everyone together in one voice one heart one people is War. In True Spirit of " Love thy Neighbor"  Israelis of all Denominations, offer housing, Shelter, Food and compassion,and every imaginable service  for all those in the affected conflict zone.For Us Jews in the America , it seems a lot simpler, The State of Israel Should always have our unconditional Support through every Season. Israel is facing massive Delegitimization campaign.  Supermarkets are being ransacked of their Israeli Made products, Speakers and dignitaries  are Shouted down and Harassed. Students on Campus are afraid to identify as Jews. organizations are bullied into voting to boycott the Jewish State, and scores of other Vicious Threats. What's the best way to send love and appreciation to those who are on the front line of this massive bigotry? I am uncertain their is a right answer to this question. Some will Send checks, Others Volunteer,  Perhaps Solidarity trips, but in my opinion the one special way to warm the hearts of the Sabra's and truly give them that Hallmark moment is to march and Participate in the Salute to Israel Parade. The reaction for most would be a Huh! a Parade!. With so Much negative news about the State in the world, What better way for Schools, Organizations, Missions, and corporate to come out and show the people of Israel, That all of Ysrael is linked to one another. Listening to a local Israeli newscast, the Anchor was beaming with pride and the excitement of the story That so many came out in torrential rains and thunderstorms, marching and singing  Am Ysrael Chai. As a person living in the Greater Sephardi community in Brooklyn, i take umbrage in several of the schools and institutions that remain indifferent to the state. Siting its irreligious and pluralistic nature as it's main reason. No Situation is perfect,  the  answer is simple, being indifferent is being against. Their is no such thing as being half pregnant. You either are or you're not..It was also very troubling to see institutions, Especially one's that pride themselves on having a strong love for Israel, with delegations of over Five Hundred Students Strong, and hundreds of Families who would come out to spectate, Choose to sit out the parade. Siting Safety concerns, attributed to strong winds and rain. What a great message of love and solidarity to send to the people of Israel, " We love you, but only when it's not raining, or when we have to go to deal". Basically a Bond of convenience. "To everything their is a season", Summer,Spring, Winter, and Fall, Israel Should and always be our Season..........

If I were to get up

 and say a few words About UA  

                   If I had to describe Aaron Laniado in one word or Catch phrase the Term " Sui Generis" would come to mind. From the Latin the Simple Term Means Unique, or one of a kind. However I would like to Augment that and Say Sui Generis on Steroids. What Made this Man so Special? His Profound Love of Family, His Fervor for Gimelut Chesed and Charity, His Ardent and unparalleled support for the Torah and its Scholars, or maybe his Devout Dedication to the Principles of Eretz Ysrael, Am Ysrael, Torat Ysrael, values that have been indoctrinated in him and his siblings growing up in Jerusalem.It is unclear how many Languages Aaron Spoke, and we will not include his infamous British Accent but somehow he found away to communicate, Touch, Invigorate, Galvanize and make everyone he encountered Feel like a Million Bucks, and that extended to people from across the globe, who actually believed he really spoke Turkish, Flemish , or some other Language  to the Meek and Downtrodden to the Highest echelon of Society. He was fortunate enough to not only have met so many Giants of the 20th Century, but to also count on many of them as Friends. Those included Washington Senator Henry Scoop Jackson, who championed the cause of Soviet Jewry and was perhaps Israels greatest Friend in History of the United States Congress. Prime Ministers Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahou.( Im Glad that he supported the right and the right side always). Legendary  Fighters from the IZL that included Eitan Livini and his special Relationship with One of Israels Greatest fighters a Modern Day Bar Kochba General Repahel " Rafoul" Eitan. His Hysterical  encounter with Henry Kissinger, In which he was able to Impress the eminent Diplomat with that famous British Accent, I doubt Kissinger Bought it, But he did take an immediate liking to Aaron and was introducing him as his friend, and yes this is The Real Henry The K. Just for the sake of Fact Checking, i Would implore anyone reading this to check with his Son Danny about his run in with PM Netanyahou at a Jerusalem Restaurant or Ask his Brothers about the Affinity Arik Sharon had Towards him, and I will always want to to know what he Said to Yitzhak Shamir and his wife Shulamit that caused them to bowl over in hysterical laughter, Props to the wonderful Photographer who caught that magical shot, a truly authentic Moment that not even Photo Shop can Belie. Their are scores of other Stories and encounters with Moguls, Rabbis, and other dignitaries, but  That would Certainly violate the Rules of the Blog ( too many lines,and Rules are Rules).  What impressed most was the fact that Aaron behaved the same way with the same character and Vehemence when greeting the regular folk and less fortunate. Weather walking the Streets of Machane Yehuda, or the Old city, or Seeing People at the synagogues. He truly derived this irrepressible joy of making anyone he encountered Smile and feel good about themselves. Famous for always saying " who am i?, Whats my life?"  Perhaps "you were proof in the old Belief of Judaic tradition that at any moment in history goodness in the world is preserved by the deeds of 36 Just men who do not know this is the role the Lord has given them".....

                                                                                                      Respectfully,  

                                                                                you're nephew, Friend and " cousin"
