“Today there is no doubt that we are living in an age of resurgent anti-Semitism ….Jews everywhere are once again being slandered and vilified…This is taking place in the intolerant parts of the Middle East but it’s also taking place in what otherwise would be expected to be tolerant parts of the West…It’s taking place in Beirut, in Damascus, in Tehran.  But it’s  also taking place, violently so, in Toulouse, in Paris, in Brussels,”–Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin  Netanyahu, at the opening of the 5th Global Forum for Combating Anti-Semitism.  In his address, Netanyahu referenced the recent “magnificent” Israeli rescue efforts in Nepal, and the criticism it spurred from Iran and Venezuela.  “Yet yesterday state television in both Iran and Venezuela accused our humanitarian team of trafficking in babies.  Now, did any of you see an Iranian rescue team in Nepal?” Netanyahu asked.  “I don’t know if we’ll be able to eradicate the scourge of anti-Semitism.  “I know we have to fight it.  We have learned that if you don’t fight it, if unstopped, these fires of anti-Semitism eventually spread and they consume everyone,” Netanyahu said.

Short Bio: I was born in Toronto in 1931 to a wonderful mother who divorced shortly before my birth. I owe a great deal of my success to her. I am Jewish but not at all religious, yet my culture plays an important part of my personality. I attended Harbord Collegiate and U. of T. Faculty of Pharmacy. A unique mail-order pharmacy was the first of my endeavours in the profession, followed by many stores throughout Ontario. I have a loving wife, 3 children and grand-children and I am now retired from pharmacy. But what do I write about? Everything! My topics are funny, serious, whimsical, timely, outrageous, inspiring, and inventive. I promise that if you take the time to read any one of these topics – you will not be sorry.
