By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

This morning I went to a boat landing, and parked near a "yacht club" that was nothing fancy.  A member confronted me, and effectively asked what my business was.  I said that I wanted to greet some friends—who aren't members of the club—when their small boats came back.

Tomorrow is Easter, which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.[2]  His religion has become the largest in the world, while that of his killers—which also discriminates against women—has almost disappeared.[3]

Tragically, the Apartheid state of Israel has launched Hell against the Palestinians and other non-Jews, and unleashed a global wave of anti-Semitism that has not been seen since World War II.  Discrimination begets a heavy price; and tragically, no Jew is safe anywhere in the world today.[4]
