  Grey2K Founder Christine Dorchak Profiled

  For those who don't know, greyhounds are big, sweet, gentle, quiet, couch potato babies.  Angels on earth.  One of the best ways you can help them is to adopt one.  There are adoption groups all over the country. They are NOT hyper, don't need lots of exercise, and many are cat safe.  Many have low or no prey drive.  Honestly, angels on earth.

  Amazing!  See, you never know how big a ripple your little stone thrown in the pond may create.  Sometimes a small effort can move mountains!

  Obama Disappoints Animals, Props Up Breeders

  I am profoundly disappointed in the Obama's choice.  All I see is the inevitable rush to buy this breed and the inevitable rush to dump them in shelters when this breed is no longer considered cool.  Their choice may have done far more harm than good.  What an utter shame.

  10 Reasons Why Boycotting Israeli Products Won't Work

  Oh yes, the biggest reason apartheid is the accurate word?  THE WALL.  Moral people do not wall out others while taking their land in the process.  Requiring people to go through irregularly-monitored checkpoints so they often can't get to work or school is just more dehumanization.  Just imagine that wall in any other democratic country.  It would never be allowed to happen today.  Israel has been given a pass to behave abominably, because they've browbeaten the world into treating them as special.  No country is above the laws of humanity.

  10 Reasons Why Boycotting Israeli Products Won't Work

  AB G,
  I am not from the Middle East.  I have visited twice, and both times was utterly appalled at the separate and unequal treatment of Palestinians by Israelis.  Separate and much more onerous security requirements, inability to get building permits while Israelis build settlements wherever they please, fewer educational and employment opportunities.  In short, Palestinians are being dehumanized in the hopes they'll just go away.  Sound familiar?  Apartheid, no matter what language.  Ask the group of Israeli soldiers who have refused to serve in the occupation for moral reasons.  Ask the Israelis who demonstrate for equal rights. 
  As for the "gifts" to civilization, they were all paid for by US taxdollars.  Israel is not capable of supporting itself without us, and that makes it a welfare state oppressing another people.  Why you aren't ashamed is beyond me.

  10 Reasons Why Boycotting Israeli Products Won't Work

  Mr. Katzen,
  
  How many Palestinians are welcomed in these museums, how many are given access to these medical breakthroughs, and how many have enough income to even own computers?  Your Israeli marvels are shared very selectively.  Only some immigrants are welcomed-those who share your religion.  Native-born Palestinians are viewed as second-class humans.  All the nifty technology in the world will not atone for Israel's occupation of another people.

  Seven Things You Must Understand About the Israeli Elections

  I have been to Israel, Vlasta, and have seen how Palestinians are treated as less than human.  There are many Israelis who would turn a blind eye to ethnic cleansing if it "protects" Israel.  It is appalling and shameful.  No amount of propaganda from your side will change what I personally saw. For the record, I am neither Arab nor Jew.  There is no justification for apartheid of any kind.  Jews especially should be hyper-vigilant about persecuting an entire people, but instead too often seem to think themselves exempt.  Special.  Entitled.  Disgusting.
