*To: The United Church of Canada (UCC)

We the undersigned Jewish Canadians have read the motion before the United Church of Canada (GS 2 “Ethical Investment for Peace in Palestine and Israel”) and the submission by the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) to the UCC
• claiming to represent the Canadian “Jewish community”
• urging rejection of the proposed divestment motion GS 2 and its associated recommendations which are before the 39th General Council of the UCC.

We object strenuously that the CJC
• has presumed to speak in our names and those of other Canadian Jews from whom it has no mandate and
• threatens the UCC with rupture of relationships between the UCC and the Canadian Jewish community if the UCC makes the moral and ethical decision to accept GS 2.

We urge the UCC to follow its principled tradition of humanitarian and justice-oriented ministry and pass motion GS 2 thereby modeling that it is both possible and necessary to resist pressure tactics and threats.

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Thanks to the Mossad,Israel's "Institutefor Intelligence and SpecialTasks", the Hamaswas allowed to reinforceits presence in theoccupied territories.Meanwhile, Arafat's FatahMovement forNational Liberation as well as thePalestinianLeft were subjected to the most brutalform ofrepression and intimidation Let usnot forget that it was Israel, which infactcreated Hamas. According to ZeevSternell,historian at the Hebrew University ofJerusalem,"Israel thought that it was a smartploy topush the Islamists against thePalestinianLiberation Organisation (PLO)". Ahmed Yassin, thespiritualleader of the Islamist movement inPalestine,returning from Cairo in the seventies,establishedan Islamic charity association. PrimeMinisterGolda Meir, saw this as a an opportunitytocounterbalan ce the rise of Arafat’sFatahmovement. .According to the Israeli weeklyKoteretRashit (October 1987), "TheIslamicassoci ations as well as the university hadbeensupported and encouraged by the Israelimilitaryauthority" in charge of the(civilian)administrati on of the West Bank andGaza."They [the Islamic associations andtheuniversity] were authorized to receivemoneypayments from abroad." TheIslamists set up orphanages and healthclinics, aswell as a network of schools, workshopswhichcreated employment for women as well assystem offinancial aid to the poor. And in 1978,theycreated an "Islamic University" inGaza."The military authority was convincedthatthese activities would weaken both the PLO andtheleftist organizations in Gaza." At the endof1992, there were six hundred mosques inGaza.Thanks to Israel’s intelligence agencyMossad(Israel’s Institute for Intelligence andSpecialTasks) , the Islamists were allowed toreinforcetheir presence in the occupiedterritories.Meanw hile, the members of Fatah(Movement for theNational Liberation of Palestine)and thePalestinian Left were subj

I support this petition because, as a Jew, I am offended and outraged that one group (the CJC) would presume to speak on behalf of "all Canadian Jews". Though I'm not 100% in agreement with the United Church's policy - I find it divisive, punitive and lacking in a long range vision - I support this particular petition.
