David ...Let's use a name here, it's easier. David is involved in the IT industry, he says that WordPress is a better platform and has better add-ons than Blogger. He is prepared to pay his solicitor to set it up in case there are legal issues. He is also prepared to pay for hosting costs etc. He is a major Funder in the Community. He 'found' me a couple of months back, when I was posting comments around the place and he saw we were of like mind. I met him about a month back when he came to Sydney on business.<br /><br />I have another friend in Sydney, another major Funder, who offered to pay to set a web site up for me. I refused, because even though it's for the Community really, I can't keep relying on him to fund every little whim of mine. Not that I have, but he keeps trying. He has funded some great Community projects for me.<br /><br />I don't want to mention names but I know of one Blogger who was sued and another who came pretty close to it. I think both cases were Muslims. I don't plan on going there. We both have issues with our Community Organisations and Leadership<br /><br />I did this for the Daphne Anson blog. It started as a comment and 'Daphne' asked me to expand it for a guest post. The comments I find interesting. <br /><br />David wants to get into other issues with a few people who are intent on bringing the whole Community nationwide into disrepute. We are of like mind.<br /><br />http://daphneanson.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/what-ails-australian-jewrys-leaders.html<br /><br />It's almost tomorrow and I was going to get an early night. I have to be somewhere early tomorrow. Later in the day I'll drop him a line and ell him I might need to go to Blogger. I already registered the name there, so I know I have that.<br /><br />Take this email address, is an anonymous one I only use on pro Palestinian sites. The mail is redirected to me from there.<br />downundergirl1@gmail.com<br /><br /> Shirl in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145644692590907775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-69793667639938563022013-06-03T03:55:26.276-07:002013-06-03T03:55:26.276-07:00"...with your permission, never mind Mike'..."...with your permission, never mind Mike's, can I please use this 'template' of yours for my BDS section?"<br /><br />It's meant for that purpose, Shirl. :) With any additions or omissions you want, of course.<br /><br />"...who says the only way to go is with Word Press.

It may not be as sophisticated as Wordpress, but it's enough even for a collaborative venue like Israel Thrives, let alone a one- or two-person effort. Or do you have bigger plans? If it's about setting up an online forum then neither Blogger nor Wordpress would fit the bill. If, on the other end of the spectrum, you want a repository-model website like the kind that were common in the 1990s (y'know, the now-defunct Geocities and its ilk), there's a lot of free web hosting options that could work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-59445037123548224832013-06-02T15:59:40.469-07:002013-06-02T15:59:40.469-07:00@ Ziontruth
"WHEN", and when being the o...@ Ziontruth<br />"WHEN", and when being the operative word here, I manage to get my Blog up and running, with your permission, never mind Mike's, can I please use this 'template' of yours for my BDS section? Michael, can you please pass my Optus email address on, thanks.<br /><br />I say when because I have someone who is 'sort of' in it with me, but let's not go there, who says the only way to go is with Word Press. I am having GREAT difficulty with it. He says he's very familiar with it but doesn't have time to help. I have found a couple of youngsters who could help but one is doing his final year 6 exams and I would not take up any of his study time. The other is at University and is pretty flat out.<br /><br />I am really struggling and am way out of my comfort zone. I have to stick with it. The guy who is in it with me is taking care of the legal side of things, financially too, because we intend on being a tad controversial. We need to wake our so called Community Leaders from their slumber amongst other things in the Community which need to be tackled<br /><br />It is called "News and Views from Jews Down Under - An online magazine for Australian Jews" Mike likes the idea of it being black and white and says it looks crisp and clean. My idea was to make it look somewhat like a newspaper.<br /><br /><br />Shirl in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145644692590907775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-59003963776270072632013-06-02T10:44:12.032-07:002013-06-02T10:44:12.032-07:00That is exactly what San Remo and The League of Na...That is exactly what San Remo and The League of Nations did, recognize that Palestine was the Jewish homeland and responsibility for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home.<br /><br />These provisions have not been abrogated under international law. In fact, they were reaffirmed in Article 80 of the UN Charter.<br /><br />The main point, however, is that 90 years ago justice was morally and legally recognized and to ask those today if they believe they simply know better what justice is?<br /><br />See:<br /><br />http://unispal.un.org/UNISPAL.NSF/0/2FCA2C68106F11AB05256BCF007BF3CB<br /><br />oldschooltwentysixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672887176887940797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-57642928343289609062013-06-02T10:19:51.180-07:002013-06-02T10:19:51.180-07:00Oldschool,

I like the "Jews are the indigenous Palestinian nation" argument best because it's an <em>essential</em> argument, it's valid as long as the Jewish nation exists and can't be invalidated by the passage of time, later declarations or the actions of the Jewish nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-26999863813436048952013-06-02T10:03:32.132-07:002013-06-02T10:03:32.132-07:00I might add a paragraph to the effect that back in...I might add a paragraph to the effect that back in the 1920s, the international community at San Remo and through the League of Nations understood what justice demanded and recognized the right of Jewish self-determination to the entirety of Palestine, their indigenous homeland.
