nope,i have used nickle plated brass ball valves with bronze skin fittings on the last few boats i have built,normaly get at least 10 years out of them before the ball siezes or the handel breaks,long before corrosion or electrolysis becomes an issue.
I assumed based on its size it was a trailer boat, which is why I recommended the Marelon seacocks, especially of you are sailing in salt water.
Marelon is not plastic, it is a polymer compund with additives. Marelon is UV resistant, operates in temps from -22 degrees (f) and up to 176 degrees (F) and does not corrode or suffer electralysis. They are even making winches and other products out of the material, so the sun isn't a problem.
Before dismissing it you should look at the specs unless of course cost is your sole concern.
I have seen them used on other boats and always wondered how long they would last, especially without being able take apart the valve to clean and inspect.
What? With his kind of energy? He probably keeps on it judging by his use of single hose clamps.
I didn't dismiss it and yes, I haven't checked the specs for the reason expressed at that moment. Thanks for pointing that out, I really appreciate all valuable input on any matter, of any kind.
I also have to point out that according to wikipedia any plastic is also a polymer: "the terms polymer and polymeric material encompass very large, broad classes of compounds, both natural and synthetic, with a wide variety of properties. Because of the extraordinary range of properties of polymeric materials, they play an essential and ubiquitous roles in everyday life, from those of familiar synthetic plastics and other materials of day-to-day work and home life, to the natural biopolymers that are fundamental to biological structure and function."
bare in mind,not all hose clamps are equal!
a solid high quality ss hose clamp with indentations pressed into the band is far superiour to a ss hose clamp with the thread punched through the band.
in 30 years of working on boats i have rarely seen a solid band type fail,but frquently have seen the punched type fail.
worth spending the money on a single good quality clamp,than 2 of the other type.
I'll second that, never had or seen one failing on a car, much higher pressure and temperature.
Although, having no road under no wheels, I'd still use 2 only to know I have a back-up if one is to fail.
Did mine last week with solid banded hose clamps.

Q: How to send integer value of textbox to [WebMethod] using ajax jQuery [code page="c#"]
[WebMethod]
public static int bubblesort(int[] arr)
{
   //some code here

    return arr;
}

var text;

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#submit").on("click", function() {
        text = $("#text1").val();
        option = $('#dropdownfilter').val();

            bsortedarr(text);

    });
});

function bsortedarr(text) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "default.aspx/bubblesort",
        data: JSON.stringify({ arr: text }),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(response) {
          //code
        },
        error: function(response) {
           //code
        }
    });
}

I created WebMethod which return sorted list of array using bubblesort. When I select option bsort and give integer as input such as 100,10,1 into textbox. So I am passing that textbox value into ajax call by using stringify({ arr: text}). I want to pass this text value which is "100,10,1" into WebMethod but it is not happening. So I am trying to split this with ',' and want to return array format list but it is in integer type so not able to return.

A: You should first define the atxt variable. It will hold the value of the textbox, the code will be something like this:
var atxt = $('TEXTBOX_SELECTOR').val();
After that use this variable to pass value through ajax.

A: Version 1
Changes in your WebMethod:

*

*If you want to return an array, change the return type to object

*Split your text then convert your array to a List of int

*If you want to sort the List, simply use Sort() instead of a loop

WebMethod updated:
[WebMethod]
public static object bubblesort(string arr)
{
    // Split then convert to List<int>
    var sra = arr.Split(',').Select(int.Parse).ToList();
    // Sort the List
    sra.Sort();

    return sra;
}

Version 2
If you changed your WebMethod parameter type to int[], simply sort the array:

[WebMethod]
public static object bubblesort(int[] arr)
{
    // ----------------------------------------
    // --- Return a Lit of int
    // ----------------------------------------
    // var sra = arr.ToList();
    // sra.Sort();
    // return sra;

    // ----------------------------------------
    // --- Return a List of string
    // ----------------------------------------
    // return sra.Select(i => i.ToString()).ToList();

    // ----------------------------------------
    // --- Return a string containing all numbers sorted
    var sra = arr.ToList();
    sra.Sort();
    return String.Join("", sra.Select(i => i.ToString()));
}

Test if input is a list of numbers separated by a comma:
text = $("#text1").val();
var pattern = new RegExp(/^[0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*$/);
var isNumbers = pattern.test(text.replace(/\s+/g, ''));

And split your text:
data: JSON.stringify({ arr: text.split(',') })

Why this Vogue Italia cover was left blank intentionally
"The decision to print a completely white cover for the first time in our history is not because there was any lack of images — quite the opposite."
We apologize, this video has expired.
Amid coronavirus outbreak, images of hope to 'Have a Little Faith in Me'
By Alyssa Newcomb
The April issue of Vogue Italia was released on Friday, and it doesn't feature a celebrity, model or cover star. Instead, the fashion magazine decided to leave its cover blank white in honor of first responders helping during the coronavirus pandemic.
"In its long history stretching back over a hundred years, Vogue has come through wars, crises, acts of terrorism. Its noblest tradition is never to look the other way," Emanuele Farneti, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, said in his letter from the editor.
Vogue Italia had been ready to print an issue the team had been working on for a while, but changed course two weeks ago as the death toll from the coronavirus pandemic continued to rise in Italy and around the world.
"But to speak of anything else — while people are dying, doctors and nurses are risking their lives and the world is changing forever — is not the DNA of Vogue Italia," Farneti wrote. "Accordingly, we shelved our project and started from scratch."
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r-8mxqzXk
While there were plenty of images Vogue Italia could have used, Farneti said they chose the white cover for its symbolism.
"We chose it because white signifies many things at the same time. White is first of all respect. White is rebirth, the light after darkness, the sum of all colours. White is the colour of the uniforms worn by those who put their own lives on the line to save ours," he said.
White gives people "space and time to think, as well as to stay silent."
"White is for those who are filling this empty time and space with ideas, thoughts, stories, lines of verse, music and care for others," he continued. "White recalls when, after the crisis of 1929, this immaculate color was adopted for clothes as an expression of purity in the present, and of hope in the future. Above all: white is not surrender, but a blank sheet waiting to be written, the title page of a new story that is about to begin."

Hear Snippet Of Jay Z's New Track 'Adnis' From Anticipated '4:44' Project
Earlier this month, Jay Z teased his new project 4:44 starring Mahershala Ali and Lupita Nyong'o. At the time, however, it was still unclear if the visual project was going to be the rapper's next album, but late Sunday night, the secret was unveiled.
Sprint and Tidal released a new teaser video for the project late Sunday night and also released a snippet of one of the tracks from the project titled, "Adnis."
In the visual, you see Mahershala, who plays a boxer, while the new track plays over it. "Letter to my dad that I never wrote / Speeches I prepared that I never spoke / Words on a paper that I never read / Proses never penned / They stayed in my head," Jay raps.
Per the new video, the project will be released via Tidal on June 30. "Today is an exciting day to be a Sprint customer," Sprint's president and CEO, Marcelo Claure, said. "Jay Z is a global icon and we're giving customers an incredible opportunity to be among the first to experience his new album."
The good news is, if you don't have Tidal and are a Sprint customer, you'll be able to stream the album and get a complimentary six-month trial of TIDAL HiFi.
So here is the question: Is 4:44 going to be like Beyonce's Lemonade?

How Do You Build a Boy?
At PDS, Boys Love Reading
Posted on Jan 20, 2015 | Mike Bullard
According to a number of studies and surveys, there is a gender gap between boys and girls when it comes to reading.
One such study, involving 75 nations and 1.5 million students, analyzed 10 years of data from the Program for International Student Assessment. Across the board, the study found, girls outperformed boys in reading.
Boys, the researchers say, generally lack interest in reading and they lag behind girls from the early grades through high school.
But somehow the boys at PDS have not gotten the "boys-don't-read" message.
"Honestly, they beg me for independent reading time at school," Mary-Wilkes Yonchak says of her fifth-grade students. "I would say 95 percent of them love reading. They also have created Book Buzzes, short promos to advertise their books to their friends."
Some experts suggest that boys are simply wired differently than girls and that they naturally gravitate toward popular distractions like video games, television, and social media.
Jennifer Ransom, a new PDS mom from Colorado, doesn't buy that for a second.
Though her sons were surrounded by books at home where they loved to read, the family plan to raise enthusiastic readers was nearly derailed once they started at their previous school.
"Conventional wisdom would have us believe that girls are innately better readers than boys, however recent personal experience has led me to draw a different conclusion," says Mrs. Ransom, whose boys are in the third and fifth grades. "In previous schools we've attended, reading was an activity children had to do as opposed to one they got to do. In the few months my boys have attended PDS, we have seen remarkable improvement not only in their reading comprehension, but more importantly in their desire and love for reading."
Experts suggest a variety of ways to encourage boys to read more, including:
Not limiting what they can read. Comics? Sports pages? Blogs? Cereal boxes? Let them read what interests them. Also parents and teachers can provide books and magazines on topics that interest a particular boy, whether it's cars, football, or coin collecting.
Parents, especially dads, acting as reading role models as home. This reinforces the idea that reading can be a guy thing and is an important method of learning about people, places, and ideas.
Using modern technology. By making Kindle or iPad Books available, a parent can satisfy a boy's interest in technology and encourage reading at the same time.
Some helpful websites that offer reading tips as well as title selections geared to boys include Guysread.org, Gettingboystoread.com, and BoysRead.org.
Many PDS teachers subscribe to the idea of encouraging their boys to read what interests them, but they also have other strategies of their own.
"Having students set reading goals is important for self-motivation," says second-grade teacher Stephanie Taylor, who uses Accelerated Reader points and some more-personalized benchmarks.
"Some students have the goal to read 10 pages a night, to keep a book in their backpack or in the car so they have a book to read wherever they are," she says. "Some have the goal to read to a younger sibling one night a week. For a lot of my boys, once they find a book or series that they are interested in at their independent reading level, they are hooked."
In the sixth grade, teacher Philip Cummings lets the boys choose the books they read, while he acts as "cheerleader-in-chief" of the reading class.
"I try to motivate them by talking incessantly about books, and I share the books I love," Cummings says. "I talk about why I love the stories, and then I surround them with great books in my classroom that they are free to take and read."
Among the current class favorites are the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, Savvy by Ingrid Law, the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series, and Paperboy by former Memphian Vince Vawter.
As for a reading gap between boys and girls, Cummings believes that depends more on the individual than on gender.
"One boy's interest might develop at a different pace than another boy's," adds Mrs. Yonchak.
"Boys may lag behind girls at certain ages for reading, but I would say it might be because they haven't found books that are written with boys in mind or they just haven't grown in their reading lives enough to dig into a book that would be of interest — possibly with enough action for them — until now," she says.
Jennifer Ransom, meanwhile, thinks PDS has this gender gap just about bridged.
"PDS has proven to me that if you give boys access to books that interest them, raise the expectations for boys as readers, communicate reading as a privilege rather than as a punishment, and impress upon the boys the importance of being a good reader, an environment can be fostered that will close the 'reading gap' that anecdotally exists between boys and girls."

Building company and its director found guilty after waste was dumped at Lane End
Matthew Clark | December 20, 2019

A building company and its director have been found guilty for offences relating to waste which was dumped illegally at Park Lane, Lane End in October 2018.
The building company and its 44 year old director of Hughenden Avenue, High Wycombe were found guilty following trial at High Wycombe Magistrates Court on Monday 2nd December 2019.
The court heard that on Monday 29th October 2018, an investigator from the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire examined waste that had been fly tipped in a field gateway near where Park Lane crosses the M40.
Details were found in the waste which were traced back to two domestic dwellings in High Wycombe. Building work had been carried out at both properties by the building company of which a 44 year old man was the sole company director.
The 44 year old man was interviewed at High Wycombe Police Station and denied any knowledge of, or involvement with, the illegal dumping. He explained that he had taken waste from one property and stored it with other waste at the second and then made an informal arrangement with the householder of the second property to dispose of all the waste.
When the investigators followed up the explanation they found the householder had paid someone cash in hand to remove the waste and kept no paperwork. Despite the householder providing information which led to a suspect being interviewed, there was found to be insufficient evidence to take a prosecution further.
The 44 year old man and his company were therefore prosecuted for failing in their duty of care regarding the waste. Responsibility for clearing up after the incident fell jointly to Wycombe District Council and the West Wycombe Estate. The prosecution sought costs to cover the expense incurred.
The magistrates found both the 44 year old man and the company guilty for failing in their duty of care to dispose of the waste properly.
The building company was fined £500 and was ordered to pay clean-up compensation of £442.50, a contribution to investigation and legal costs of £250 and a victim surcharge of £50.
The 44 year old man was conditionally discharged for 12 months as well as being ordered to pay a contribution to investigation and legal costs of £250 plus a victim surcharge of £20. This made a total of £1,512.50 for the 44 year old man and his company to pay.
Wycombe District Council Cabinet Member for Environment Julia Adey, speaking on behalf of the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire, said: 'The duty of care places a responsibility on the producer of waste to make sure that it is disposed of properly.
At the very least they must ensure that the carrier that took it away can be traced in case fly tipping does occur. The defendants failed to do so in this case, and were therefore liable under the law.'
The case was prosecuted by Buckinghamshire County Council working on behalf of the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire.
Since 2003 the Waste Partnership for Buckinghamshire has secured over 730 convictions against individuals and companies for illegal dumping and related offences, leading to fines and costs being imposed against offenders totalling over £1,000,000.

Did you go on the Treasure Trail scavenger hunt in the October 2007 Kids Alive? If so, you're probably eager to see the answers. It was a challenging game. We hope you had fun. We received 10 e-mails with ALL the right answers. Remember, the answers had to be found at the Milwaukee County Zoo—NOT on the Internet. We closed the contest on Nov. 1, 2007.
If you didn't complete our Treasure Trail scavenger hunt, click here for the original questions and see how many you can answer correctly, just for fun! Be careful — the answers are found below.
The replies with all the right answers went into a hat. College student Danielle Johnson, our fall communications intern at the Zoological Society of Milwaukee, picked the winner. The winner received a plush-toy hippopotamus as a prize. The winner's name will appear in the February-March issue of Wild Things newsletter.

A selection of our reader comments is provided below. While not all of the comments are as on point as others, we believe many of our readers' comments add perspective and flavor to our core question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?" and this site.
The comments are arranged in reverse chronological order -- most recent first. We sometimes edit comments for brevity, clarity, and spelling. We may also remove comments posted when we find better comments covering the same issues. To preserve confidentiality, only the writer's first name is noted, unless he/she has waived confidentiality. Respondents are generally notified when we add their comments to this section.
There is no solution to WB and Gaza as one Palestine… The West Bank cannot survive by itself. It has no natural resources, is short of water and has no sea access. It can be de facto a Palestine but will have to amalgamate with Jordan where 40% of the population is already Palestinian. Population explosion in Gaza, 4445 people/square kilometer, has to be resolved by return to status quo ante 1967 when Egypt controlled Gaza allowing Gazans to inhabit the sparsely populated northern Sinai (138 people /square Km).
International pressure financial support may persuade Egypt and Jordan to cooperate. If this will happen Israel will have no difficulty to have an agreement about Jerusalem. The dissociation between WB and Gaza will ease agreements, allow responsible, Egypt and Jordan, control of reckless and criminal groups in WB and Gaza."
Joint agricultural and industrial free-trade development zones should be created in the same manner for major agricultural, power and water projects.... Free trade and development zones could also include regional teaching hospitals, specializing in the needs and characteristics of the region and its residents.
The, admittedly basic, goals of these and other efforts would be to bring the parties together in common efforts, establish economic co-dependency, open face-to-face everyday lines of communication, and create an experience based culture of trust and joint success, from which could be hammered out a long term regional solution."
READER'S PEACE PROPOSAL - "We need a hybrid approach, which would eliminate the most contentious aspects of both pure solutions. Without some form of confederacy to join Israelis and Palestinians, any so-called peace agreement will last but a few years, at most, before yet another round of hostilities breaks out. There must be a framework put in place, as part of any solution, which would provide both peoples with a vested interest in peacefully resolving their own issues. It should also be clear that, currently, Israelis and Palestinians are incapable of even visualizing peace let alone reaching an agreement without help. The United States should take a visionary role in crafting the framework for such a hybrid solution."
READER'S PEACE PROPOSAL - "Solutions to Palestinian-Israeli conflict are different for Gaza and West Bank. In Gaza, there is population explosion due to polygamy and no birth control. Gaza is not an Israeli problem, it is an Arab problem. Specifically, Gaza is a continuation of Sinai and Gazans should settle there. Egypt has to open the border and annex the strip.
West Bank is culturally different from Gaza and geographically removed. West Bank should become Palestine and confederate with Jordan. West Bank cannot survive independently. One day there may be a Middle Eastern Union including Israel. Lastly, education of Palestinian children, TV, etc..., should be aimed to coexistence with Israel. No plan can materialize without it."
PRO SELF-DETERMINATION - "As for the question, "Is a two-state solution (Israel and Palestine) an acceptable solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?" It begs the second question, "Acceptable to whom?" As a believer in the right of self determination and government exists with the consent of the governed, the local people (Palestinians/Israelis) will need to decide whether it is acceptable.
Thanks again for your efforts. It [israelipalestinian.procon.org] is a wonderful site."
PRO CREATION OF ISRAEL JUSTIFIED - "I say if there was no Holocaust it would still be justified because the Arab Moslems were so lousy to the Jews. The occurence of the Holocaust only seconds the justification of the Jewish state. The uncle of Yasser Arafat in the 1930's and 1940's collaborated with Hitler. He incited mobs to attack the Jewish community of Bagdad, Iraq in 1941. In Yuglslavia, he organized Moslem SS units that killed 90% of the Jewish population of Bosnia. His full name and title is Hajji Muhammed Amin El Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. He incited mobs in Palestine to kill Jews in the 1920's and 1930's. He egged Hitler on to start the Holocaust and was on the committee that supervised the genocide. These actions also second the need for a Jewish state."
CON DIVISION OF ISRAEL - "If you split Israel, the US will be split right up the New Madrid fault line. Leave Israel alone, or better yet start helping our best ally. Let them develop their land and build settlements."
PRO VIABLE PALESTINIAN STATE - "Principle One: Respect for international law, breaking these laws should not be rewarded. i.e, if Israel wants other State's land, then it will not be one-for-one (square kilometer).
The Palestinian State must be viable, beginning with contiguous [territory]. i.e., in the event of land-swap, Highway 60, linking Jenin, Neblus, Ramallah, East Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and Hebron, will lie entirely within Palestine. (note: this is what the Obama administration should be targetting, not settlement freeze. General Dayton should be releaving all Israel Occupying Forces of their duty along this highway, replacing them with PA security) Also, most of the land-swap will go towards linking Gaza with the West bank of the Jordan, starting with the roads through Gilat, and most (10-to-1) will be north of this road. Plus, all new borders must be a regular form, vs serpentine.
The further Israel's desire to acquire land in Palestine, the higher the price. i.e., zone C, the land between the international border and roads (which make the West bank contiguous) 596, 584, 574, 446,448, 354, also 578, 458 will exchanged at a price of for 2-to-1. Zone B, The land between these roads and highway 60, will be exchanged at the rate of 8-to-1. (if more than 20 km from an above-mentioned city, then 4-to-1) e.g., 20 square km total, 10 in zone C and 10 in zone B 10 x 2 = 20, 10 x 8 = 80, 20 + 80 = 100 square km, compared to all 20 in zone C, equals 40 square km. e.g, if Israel decides on a total land grab of 400 sq km, then Palestine will get 1,000 sq km, a corridor between Gaza and West bank around 10 or 20 km in width - effectively cutting the Negev and Beer Sheba off from the rest of Israel. Its their (Israel's) cost-benefit analysis.
If Israel wants a land deal that undermines Palestine viability, i.e. any land on the wrong side of highway 60, then it must accept a one-state (binational state), with a non-majoritarian Executive Council."
PRO ANNEXATION OF GAZA AND THE WEST BANK TO ISRAEL - "Israel must annex definitively to its territory the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and must consider strangers all the Arabs and all the non Jewish that live in the Land of Israel, and must treat very well all the strangers, who must have all the rights that the Israelis have, except the political rights. This is the true solution, because all the Palestine belongs to Israel, because God gave it to Israel, as it is written in the Law of God... Therefore, the true solution is to create the Holy State of Israel, including all the so called Palestine, in which the Jews will be considered nationals, and the Arabs and all non Jewish will be considered strangers, with all the civil rights, but without political rights. The Holy State of Israel must have the Law of God (Torah, the five first books of the Bible) as its constitution, and must be ruled by true religious Jews, that really fulfill the Law of God (Torah), and must rebuild the Temple of God, in Mount Moriah (Temple Mount), in Jerusalem."
PRO INTERNATIONAL RELOCATION OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEES - "The two state solutions is an inevitability, Why? Because Israel will get tired of fighting. The Palestinian state is a given because of the eventual exhaustion of Israel. We've already seen signs of Israeli exhaustion in their withdrawal from Gaza. As sure as the rise of the sun, there will be a two state solution. So what is the real issue? Jerusalem? Jerusalem will be re divided, the Dome of the Rock will be turned into a International enclave, like the United Nations enclave in New York City. So what is the real 21st Century issue? Obama should have addressed this THE RIGHT OF RETURN. As of 2003, there were 4.3 million Palestinian refugees, Palestinian descendants from the Wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 in refugee camps, STATELESS. The whole issue is where will they go? To their ancestral homes in a new, peaceful Israel. Israel cannot allow that to happen, for if it does happen, Israel will no longer be a Jewish state. To other Arab states? It has been 61 years since the first Arab Israeli conflict, and no Arab state has volunteered to absorb them. The two state solution has no viability with 4.3 million people sitting on the sidelines, in their hovels, carrying a grudge. We have to lay plans for a great migration; Christian Palestinians should be offered slots in under populated Christian countries, such as Belarus, and Russia. The Muslim countries must be forced to accommodate their brethren on a specific formulaic basis. But the bulk of the refugees must go to the nation with the least hope of repopulating naturally. The country with the most rapidly aging population; the country which will fall into disarray for the lack of young people. That country is Japan."
Hopefully, this way, the Middle East crisis could finally be diffused with: a) Israel achieving its implied objective of becoming and remaining a purely Jewish state within its secure and internationally recognized borders, and b) The Palestinians, getting their own independent, viable State, while obtaining fair compensation for lost properties and assets, or alternatively, gaining the opportunity to resettle elsewhere in the region or throughout the world."
CON DIVISION OF JERUSALEM - "I don't see any reason why Jerusalem should be divided and be also the capital of a Palestinian state neither for political nor for religious or historical reasons. Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran, had no political importance during the centuries of Muslim rule, and finally, the Arab occupy part of the old city from where they were chased by the Jordan-Arab legion which destroyed all the synagogues and cementeries. Strange enough, nobody reacted to the Jordan occupation from 1948 to 1967, but only once Israel did reconquer the city in 1967."
PRO ISRAEL - "The UN recognizes a nation if it has all of the following: 1) It must have a land. 2) It must have a people. 3) It must have a government. 4) It must be able to trade with other countries. Israel meets all of this criteria. The PLO, Hesbolla, Jihad, Hamas, and Shehite cannot meet this criteria because they are terrorist organizations. They are Muslim and Arab radical extremists fueled by their mother countries with one intent: to wipe the land clean of Jews. Israel has been a nation since 1948 and has every right to defend itself against constant attacks from these terrorist groups."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I found your site while looking for information on Israeli Prime Ministers... I had no idea you were out there and found your website to be of great value in illuminating the Israeli-Palestinian situation. When I returned, I discovered the greater mission of encouraging critical thinking and providing information on a variety of issues -- fantastic work, and thank you again."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "A great site! One of the best on the most relevant issues for us all! A superb explanation of the subject. Illuminating, explicatory, and comprehensible. A high-quality elucidation which sheds light on the most multifarious and emotionally-charged issues within the world of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. An excellent entry for Israelis, Palestinians, Jews, Arabs and anyone who seeks information about a complex matter which is often intimidating and misunderstood. Great to have such first-rate enlightenment so well put and perfectly organized! Thank you!!!"
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - "I came to your site to review the historical and present day maps. I was initially intrigued and impressed by what I saw, until I came to the Pros and Cons on Terrorism. I have read both over a number of times. I cannot see how they can be reasonably interpreted to be differing sides of an extremely sensitive issue. I would think that of all of the topics here, this would have been given the most careful handling; it seems to be the reverse. I find it both disturbing and concerning."
Neither side has given serious consideration to an alliance of states collectively known as Israel as a solution. The USA is literally 50 states with often sharply different laws and practices, except in economic development where each competes against all others... A loose confederacy with each side maintaining its own security forces but one international policy (if for no other reason than the cost of embassies and trade rules) would probably work. Economic prosperity which requires recognizing mutual interests, like in the US, is the true glue of an enduring state... Today those states are strong supporters of the common national defense."
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - "The pro and con are very weak in section 'Does Israel have a right to exist?' -- these aren't arguments, they are empty quotes. What gives nations the right to exist? At what point in history did the world reject outright imperialist land grabs? By Israel you mean 'a jewish state' which embodies the notion of an ethnic majority -- one of the most controversial policies in Israel leading to settlement expansions (that is, keeping Jews in a super majority numerically). Come on! Deal with this issue's complexities! THANKS."
PRO TWO-STATE SOLUTION - "The only practical and feasible solution is a two-nation solution, as and when it gets mutually accepted and practically implemented. It might be in the form of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip for Palestinians and the rest to Israel or in any other suitable form... The only way out is peaceful, mutual coexistence, without going into the detailed analysis of who did what and who is responsible for what putrid acts. Because getting down to that is like opening a Pandora's box where there would be no ending to accusations and counter-accusations. So, peace would reign in this region, as and when it finally does, only when they both realize that they don't have the capacity to exterminate the other and will go on to exist in each-other's neighbourhood. So why not say enough is enough and accept the other side, even with complete distaste."
PRO TWO-STATE SOLUTION - "The problem in the Middle East is the occupation of Palestine and the non-recognition of its independence from Israel. The solution is a two-state solution and an end to all hostilities. It's important that parties who are not sincere to the two-state solution, whether they are Zionists or Islamists are identified and challenged and made it clear to them the world's citizens are desperate for peace in the Middle East, for the sake of innocent civilians and children in the region and for the sake of a secure world free from terror and hostilities. All of our families and children have a life to enjoy and all in Palestine and Israel deserve such a life."
PRO ONE-STATE SOLUTION - "I wrote a book proposing that the only lasting solution to the conflict is for both to live as one nation. They have done it before during ancient time, why can't they do it now?.. It is written by one not emotionally involved, therefore it sides with nobody but with what it beleives as right."
CON ROAD MAP - "I think that the 'ROAD MAP' will do not bring peace for Israelian and Palestinian peoples... As a point of departure I demounce ocupation as the highest form of terrorism, because it is organized and managed by the state aparatus of the occupation forces. I condemn all attacks against all civilians carried out by both individuals and organizations. No measure of despair can justify killing of civilians. I condemn terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians regardless or their nationality. However, I am aware that all these acts are the consequence of continued Israeli occupation. To tolerate the existence of Israeli occupation means to tolerate its consequences, terrorism being one of them. That is why the world cannot and should not tolerate this occupation any more and must do everything to end it."
PRO UN PEACE AGREEMENT - "The world is sick and tired of the endless Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As neither party to the conflict has the power to annihilate completely its opponent (and hopefully, the world would not permit a Hitlerian style 'final solution' to either party of the dispute) then, the only rational resolution is to reach a permanent peace agreement under the auspices and control of the United Nations... Considering that over time, the superiority of Israel in nuclear capability will begin to diminish vs. its adversaries, as they are likely to obtain access to nuclear arms themselves, (from such sources as Pakistan, China, Russia, etc.), therefore, in order to prevent a horrible nuclear confrontation in the Middle East, Israel would be well advised to negotiate a peaceful, final and fair resolution of all outstanding problems with the Palestinians and the bordering or regional Moslem states, as soon as possible."
READER'S PEACE PROPOSAL - "This Three Part Peace Plan is both practical and concise; its concept is unique in that it is inclusive and relational – working from a top level of 'peace amongst governments' – down to an establishing and maintaining of lasting 'civil peace' – then lastly down to a grassroots level - 'peace in the hearts' of and amongst the people - which includes the creating and implementing of programs, events, and holidays to maintain continually growth and peaceful living amongst the neighborhoods and families to ensure that peace is strengthened on a daily basis."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "Congratulations. The new site is outstanding and easy to navigate. The Palestinian/Israeli dilemma has and continues to be a detriment to world peace. Maintaining a non-biased forum where this important issue can be discussed is helpful in finding a solution."
PRO ONE-STATE SOLUTION - "I think and believe that the Israel/Palestine conflict will only be resolved by the demise of one or both states. I also think and believe that the only way to accomplish this without genocidal destruction is one secular democratic state with equal rights for all.
In the constitution of the new state have a provision that Jews will make up 55% of the legislative body or bodies. That the armed forces will be a majority of Jews, but Palestinians have a right to be a part of it. All other articles would be to guarantee majority rule with provisions to keep the tyranny of the majority in check.
The fear of Palestinian birth rates being higher than Jewish birth rates is ridiculous. It is economics that regulate birth rates. A combined state will surely raise the economic situation of the Palestinian people.
I find it hard to believe but I agree with Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi of Libya that the creation of "Israetine" would solve the problem.
I realize I am just a uneducated country boy, but this is my opinion. Thanks for giving me a forum to voice my thoughts on this issue."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "The Israeli-Palestinian ProCon site is highly educational and current. It is the best site I have seen on this topic."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I have a course on Present Issues in the World International Politics and I had to do a little research for a debate on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While I did come across other sites, yours proved a very useful source of information. Nicely structured and easy to use on short notice."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I'm impressed with your fairness about the Middle East... Many thanks for your web site."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I'm a final year student of Religious Studies, at Trinity College, Carmarthen (Wales, UK). The population statistics are a useful resource for part of my dissertation. I will definitely recommend your website to others."
As long as either side targets civilians there will be no end. Just look at Ireland it took them 700 years and they still don't have their Island back."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "This site rox! I was having so much trouble finding more info on this conflict, when BAM! the site came up and I click on it. I got a 102% on my project because I had so much information- and answered the really hard extra credit question. THANK YOU www.procon.org!"
CON-PALESTINE - "In your "Introduction to the Conflict," you stated that the 1947 UN Partition Plan of Palestine was "rejected." That is not true. It was rejected by the Arabs, but accepted by the Jews. In addition, you stated that the territories were captured by Israel during the 1967 war. But you left out the fact that the war was brought on by the imminent threat of attack by all the surrounding Arab countries on Israel. Why did you leave out those details? They seem very important to the discussion. Leaving them out seems like false reporting and bias."
READER'S PEACE PLAN - "I have had contributed in the near past with some solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and once I wrote a three or four page peace compromise and faxed it to Ex President Bill clinton during his time in the White House.
Since that time nothing has hapened and the situation became worst which matter is threatening the world's security and peace!.
Now I believe that if the whole world will stand together to implement peace between the Israeli and Palestinians to push a new compromise then I would sugest a con-federal state for both peoples, this type of solution would make both peoples build their good economy and prosperity for the welfair of all inhabitants of the new state and will maintain peace and security in the whole world!"
CON-PALESTINE - "There will never be a solution to the conflict because the Arabs do not want a solution. There is no way they will agree to a peace with Israel. The only peace they will agree to is a "piece" of Israel. The Arabs - Muslims are not indigenous to Israel they came from all over to settle here especially after the Jews came. Read Joan Peters book "From Time Immemorial" to get a complete picture of Israel. When Palestine was still part of the British Mandate, the British minted coins - one side said Palestine (in English)and the other side inHebrew said Eretz Israel. I have no objection to the Arabs or Muslims living here but it is my home and they have to behave in my house as a guest , if not he /they should leave."
CONCERNED READER - "I lived in the middle east in 1964-65. A common comment from both sides was "we are willing to fight until the last American dollar." The last I read the total aid, in various forms, to Israel and the Arab states was about 9 billion $ a year for each. What would happen if we stopped all aid to both sides? Would they be able to continue slaughtering each other?"
CONCERNED READER - "The Palestinians have suffered enormously. The Jews suffered under the Germans'From their own history, they should understand the futility of war and leave the Palestinians in peace. Israel should give Palestine their land and let them live in peace. No one is going to take any land with them on their final journey - so is there any meaning to this MADNESS. Women, children and loved ones lose their lives - all because of Politicians playing stupid games. We live but one life and we should live it with love and peace not war. Give up your weapons before you'll destroy everything."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I'm planning to teach an adult education class in my synagogue this fall about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and I intend to use many of the resources on your wonderful website."
READER'S SUGGESTION - "Both need to learn respecting each other. Israel has greater responsibilies to gather and help the democratic forces of the region. There can be no peace in the region unless people are educated liberally and democracy adopted as system of govtnment."
CONCERNED READER - "Why is it that a possible peace in the Arab-Israeli area is always seemingly sabotaged? Whose long term interests are served by instability in this region?"
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "A link to your excellent site was provided by a participant in a discussion of the Israel-Palestine issues currently taking place on E-Sanga -- a Buddhist forum. There is a news and public affairs section that gets quite lively, although this has been the most civil discussion of this issue I have seen anywhere. Your page helps people to recognize that the story of this tragedy is many-faceted. That, in itself, is a major accomplishment -- as many fair-minded people are simply unaware of any narrative other than heroic Jews winning their freedom & independence after WWII against maniacal Arabs who still swear to drive them into the sea. My opinion is that this tragedy will not be solved unless and until both sides are heard here in the West -- so I applaud your work."
READER'S PEACE PROPOSAL - "In a two state solution, it would be agreed that there would be a differentiation between residency and citizenship. All new Arab residents of Israel (present Arab citizens of Israel would be given a choice) would become citizens of Palestine but residents of Israel. All Jews living in Palestine would be citizens of Israel but residents of Palestine. As in the United States, local residents would be able to vote for local issues, police, education, utilities etc. but only citizens of their states would be able to vote in National elections."
IDENTITY CONFLICT - "Hello everybody. I'm an Arabic girl from Israel. As you know there are many Palestinians which are living in Israel as 'Israeli people,' but in fact, we are from Palestine and we are so proud of that. I just wanted to say that I have a very big conflict inside me. I just don't know what to say when some one asks me 'where are you from?' I am forced to say 'from israel' because I have the Israeli ID, or I have to say 'from Palestine' because I just feel that I am not from this country which [is] called Israel. I just know that this place that I am living on was called Palestine, and some people stole it and called it 'Israel.' I just don't know who I am. I cry when I see Palestinian people die everyday by the Israeli people, but I cry too when I see Israeli people die by the Palestinian people. [The] two of them are mistaken because war [has] never been the right solution, peace is the only solution for ever."
READER'S PROPOSAL - "The American government should sit with the United Nations and with leaders on both sides for their reconcilation.
1. The Palestinian and Israeli leaders should forget the past, and think of the future for peace in their countries.
2. They should forget about religion, and think of the life that has been lost in their lands."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "This is a very valuable site, in my opinion. I have lived in Israel-Palestine for 7-1/2 years as an American volunteer and am convinced that an integrated, objective narrative of 'what happened' historically in this Land (and 'why') is simply not possible. There are too many overlays of tribalism, mythology and selective memory. So, this kind of side-by-side analysis is perhaps the next best thing. Thanks for making it available."
PRO TWO-STATE SOLUTION - "I believe there should be two states. The land should be split based on population, and United Nations representatives should be placed at the border of the two separate states to ensure safety for both Israelis and Palestinians. I also recommend this site to other high school students that need research information. It's really helpful!"
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - "You think we are all stupid! You are trying to write the Jews out of the land of Israel! Your web-site and its so-called pertinent information is simply lies...your Goebellisian approach is telling in its transparency. Tell a lie often enough...! "
They can all go to America or to the dark side of the Moon."
READER'S PROPOSAL - "My suggestion is that the U.S.A. and Europe take-over the whole West Bank and Gaza for a year or two. Then, organize everything as to prepare for an independent Palestinian State in 2008. Then, give the palestinians five years to try to rule themselves. Then, if they see that the Palestinians really deserve it, continue. Otherwise, the U.S.A. should make the entire country a Democratic Palestinian-Israeli State begining on 2015."
PRO TWO-STATE SOLUTION - "I think there must be a two-state solution for the Israelis and Palestinians, as that is the only way that both people will be able to see a sustainable future. This two-state solution must include rigorous security guarantees and the protection of human rights and access to holy sites. I don't believe, however, that the region will see such an outcome without the active and sustained involvement of the United States. In June 2002, the President was courageous in stating that he believed in a two-state solution. Now he must send Secretary of State Rice to the region with the mandate that she bring both leaders together and work within the parameters of the Roadmap to make progress."
READER'S TWO-STATE PROPOSAL - "The sub-division of the virtually uninhabited 5000 sq miles of the Negev desert, south of Dimona, is the only practicable solution to forming an independent, contiguous, Palestinian State i.e. Palestinians will be able to travel between Gaza and the West Bank freely and without hindrance, within their own autonomous state. There is no Israeli town in this area - over 97% of Israelis live north of Beersheba.
The UN would need to provide finance to construct huge desalination plants to irrigate the land and this would be a major financial project that would require support from the international community. The costs would, however, be less than the current costs of supplying military aid to Israel.
This is a viable solution to the conflict and would entail the removal of all Israeli settlements within the new State i.e. the West Bank. The port of Eilat would remain a part of Israeli territory and would be accessible both from the Red Sea and via a rail link from the north."
READER'S PEACE PROPOSAL - "Until and unless Israel agrees to the U.N. resolutions, it will never see peace. Though it may prevail over the Arabs in the conventional sense, Arab groups will continue to fight and keep the Israelis in constant fear.
It must withdraw from the Arab occupied territories.
It should remove the Jewish settlements from the occupied territories.
It should take back the annexation of East Jerusalem.
The palestinians should recognize the existence of Israel.
They must stop anti-Israeli activities.
They should guarantee the security of Israel."
Christians of Palestine (living either in the West Bank and Gaza Strip or in Israel) are entitled unrestrained entrance to and exit from the territories in mention, carrying a special ID card specifying them as 'Christian Palestinian', along with their Palestinian city of origin (and nationality of country they come from).
This also and equally applies to Christian Palestinians living anywhere abroad, only those will be restricted to a three-month visit, once every three years. For transit through Isreal to get to the territories, their destination should be clearly specified by the authorities of the country from where they come, and it is then Israel's duty to grant them all aid and attendance as they go through, on arriving, and leaving.
The Territories are to be internationally recognised as the three holiest Christian cities, with regard to their 'Palestinian' identity, a status officially and bilaterally proclaimed by a UNGA and UNSC resolution.
They are to be submitted to one set of laws, in full conformity with the civil ethics of Christian teachings, and are entirely independent from the authority of either states of Palestine and Israel.
To be granted permit into those territories, non-Christian Palestinian citizens are to present the same documentation required to enter any country as pilgrims or tourists.
Christians of Palestinian origin are to be granted this privilege regardless of whatever other nationalities they might carry.
Arms are prohibited in the territories, and the task of maintaining their security lies entirely on the UN special divisions, altered annually, exchanged between different Christian member nations of the UN."
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK - "I reviewed your site again and I really don't see what you're trying to do, unless it is to legitimize a terrorist organization. On the Con side of the issue of whether Hamas is a terrorist organization, you cite patently unreliable and outdated material falsely suggesting that Hamas' main focus (when they are not killing Jews) is humanitarian service - 90% good works and, I guess, 10% Jew killing and maiming. It is kind of like quoting the insane president of Iran and other Holocaust deniers on the con side of a supposed question of whether there was a Holocaust. The problem is that your web site posits that there are two legitimate points of view on an issue which is not debatable by any honest reporter. Hamas is by its own admission a terrorist organization. The election of Hamas by the arabs who choose to inaccurately call themselves Palestinians is another in a long line of rejections of any peaceful settlement and a reaffirmation of their virulent hatred and death cult culture.
When you pretend that there are two sides to issues of this nature you do a disservice to everyone, including yourself. We need to recognize reality and to expect that arabs and other muslims will recognize reality as well. If this is "too much" for you and them to do, a war of extinction is the election you have made and the real option you are promoting. I think that is wrong and immoral. I don't think any thoughtful or responsible person should participate in such an act."
CON ISRAEL - "I think it is wrong for Palestinians to be held hostage along with other non-Jewish peoples inside Israel and until this is resolved there shall be no chance for peace. As well, the fact that the U.S. supplies Israel with weapons of mass destruction also displays no intention of Israel to be looking for peace."
CON ISRAEL - "The Jews are the root of the problem with the Arab people. Stealing Arab holyland, killing innocent arab men, women & children. They call the Palestinians terrorists, they're the ones who spawned it! It's o.k. for them to drive people from their land to illegally place their own kind there. What do they expect from the Arab people? To bow to Israel & let them continue their selfish ways? 9/11 & terrorism and all the bad things of today's world are a direct result of Israel! The U.S. should let them fend for themselves. Cut all military aid & the millions of dollars already sucked out of the U.S. & funneled directly to Israel. I'm not saying all of our problems of today's world will magically disappear. The damage that's been done will take a lifetime to mend. But Getting out of the Arab/Israeli conflict is a good way to start."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "Thank you so much for your knowledgeable website. I am in the process of providing information like this to educate otherwise ignorant and/or uneducated peers. I know this website will be a great asset to my group.
We need more non-profits like this who are not afraid to expose the truths, and not be afraid to be called "anti-Israel" because the people who think anyone who discusses this is "anti-Israel" is most definitely only selectively listening to the issues."
THIS SITE IS PRO PALESTINIAN - "Your choice of experts and your rating system betrays your leaning. You weight a diplomat or politician as a 3 star candidate no matter who he is giving credibility to his opinion though he might be completely biased and dishonest. And you quote dodgy 'experts'. Benny Morris, the Israeli historian, is notoriously pro Palestinian and has even been accused of historical revisionism by his peers yet you have the cheek of quoting him as a pro Israeli voice.
If you are going to present a case for Israeli survival, there are plenty of sources (e.g. Joan Peters, Conor Cruise o' Brien).
If not, please don't advertise yourselves as neutral."
The Borders of Israel shall be her pre-1967 borders, less the agreed upon areas of her Security Wall Borders and Common Municipal Duties of the Old City of Jerusalem and the Highway Area Around the Sea of Galilee.

All Land that Was Previously Occupied Shall Permanently Remain Demilitarized.

NO PEACE PARTNER - "I do feel there are alot of missing elements concerning the Palestinians struggle to wipe the only democratic state in the middle east- Israel of the map. The majority of the pro-palestinian ideologies I have read have contained alot of lies. Its simple, Palestinians or some may call them Jordanian refugees have never wanted peace and this can be proved time and time again since Israel was created. Until Israel has a true partner in peace and only when the palestinians stop inciting hatred into the minds of young children, can there be a chance of stability in the region. PS The terrorist organisations would also have to be dismantled."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I think your site is unique and simply incredible. It is so rare to find anything on Israel/Palestine that attempts to present all sides to the issue and allows the complexity of the situation such visibility. I really do commend you. Of the most pressing statement on the future, I mostly agree with Lieberman and Chirac who simply state that there has to be both a Palestinian, free and independent state and a secure Israel. But, sadly, I also want to add that I wish for fuller and deeper recognitions of the history behind the conflict. In particular, the roles European colonization and the Cold War played in creating the divisive hostility between the Palestinian Arabs and the Israelis. And, also America and Russia during the Cold War.
I fear that unless we get an understanding of all the forces behind the continual, tragic battles, the unreason and fever that was created by so many historical factors all impacting on these two beleaguered groups of people--Palestinians and Israelis--the world might never see a solution. That is all I really would add to what has been said by far smarter people than myself. That is, the solutions do not all lie in the immediate present or the planning for a better future but in a grappling with a wider historical continuum. Sometimes I feel the Palestinians and the Israelis bear the punishing consequences of larger and more powerful countries and former empires. Thanks so much for letting me know more about your site and for noticing my novel!"
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I want to thank you for your site. I came across it for the first time yesterday and was very pleased to find someone who cares about presenting both sides of this story. Too many times Palestinians are portrayed as unprovoked aggressors. I in no way condone terrorism, but I feel that it's important to look at why young Palestinians are willing to kill themselves. I look forward to fully exploring this site."
POSITIVE FEEBACK - "Thank you for your e-mail. I was already familiar with your web site and admire the excellent work you've done in creating a good impartial resource."
JERUSALEM SOLUTION - "Why not make it [Jerusalem] an autonomous entity (similar to Vatican City for example). The adherents of Christianity, Islam and Judaism would all be equals and treated as such. The governing body would be a "triumvirate" composed of 1 representative for each pre-mentioned religious denomination."
STOLEN LAND - "Israelis want to live their lives on land stolen from Palestinians oblivious to the suffering and hardships that Palestinians are subjected to on a daily basis. The right to exist as a nation is simply not a reserved right exclusive to Israel. Palestinians are a distinct nation of people whose historical claim to this precious piece of land is just as legitimate."
NO PALESTINIAN STATE - "How can you think that you can put our Israeli flag next to the 'Palestinian' flag. How can you call your site Israeli-Palestinian - there is no Palestinian state just an Israeli state..."
SUPPORTING ABU MAZIN (Mahmoud Abbas) - "There is a clear chance for hope; we must pay attention to it. It is Abu Mazen. The United States, as well as Israel must give Abu Mazen the chance to deliver... Abu Mazen has been working on the Palestinian grounds relentlessly to set up the stage for the next period. The Americans, and the Israelis guaranteeing Abu Mazen the required support to continue his work is just as essential for the next stage."
POSITIVE FEEDBACK - "I'm compelled to write and thank you for your work on the Palestine/Israel issue. I've been researching both sides of the conflict myself and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find the history and issues presented, stripped of the rarely avoided emotion and emotional language."
INTERNATIONALIZE JERUSALEM - "I propose that the solution to the Israel-Palestine problem lies in Jerusalem. Make Jerusalem an INETERNATIONAL FREE CITY like the Hague and that should ease tensions. Split the remainder of Israel in half roughly and reestablish the Palestinian state. This is the ONLY just solution."
PALESTINIAN MOTIVES - "An appropriate question should be: There is no dispute that the Palestinian purpose has been the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of its people. Given the fact that the Palestinians are honest and frank about their intentions, why should Israel end the occupation?"
ISRAEL IS RIGHT - "I do not understand how anyone could possibly believe that Israel is wrong. The Palestinians are eagerly killing innocent civilians! Israel on the other hand are killing terrorists. I realize that there are civilians killed also, however they are not targeting civilians unlike the Palestinians. I can not see that the Palestinians have the right to even enter into talks because of this aggression."
PRO ONE STATE SOLUTION - "Palestine must not be divided, but it must be shared by all its inhabitants irrespective of religion or creed, there is enough in Palestine to meet everyone's needs, but not everyone's greed's, the Zionists are fighting for their greed's, and the Palestinians for their needs, when the Zionists stop fighting for their greed's and the Palestinians get their rights and needs, then and only then can peace be achieved."
PRO WESTERN INVOLVEMENT - "I am a visitor from India. My perception is that western world is living under fear of terrorist attacks, which appears to be largely due to unresolved conflict between Israel and Palestinians... Western countries should involve more to resolve this conflict."
PRO BUFFER ZONE - "Let me [be] straight and square, the mediators in this conflict, especially the U.S, are biased. They favour Israel. There is simple way to [settle] this, the Isreal state should be stopped to insist on its 'dream of promised land', and the two states should exist as per before 67-war. In between [the two states] a buffer zone should be established, under U.N observation."
CON U.S. INVOLVEMENT - "One of the biggest issues is not included in your list of issues. I'm speaking of the unprecedented part played by U.S internal politics on international decisions affecting world security, not to mention U.S. security. Our latest loss of credibility world wide can be assigned to one indisputable fact, the one sided influence of the Israeli lobby that allowed Sharon to destroy the 'road map' with the assistance of Bush."
ANTI-SEMITIC SITE - "I find your site very Anti-Semetic and Anti-Israel. Your site is blind to the sufferings of the Israeli people. I guess it is ok to kill innocent people. Israel gives the Palestinians everything from aid to housing to healthcare. The people want nothing more than to kill or exile every Jew in Israel. I know from experience I have been studying there for the last 9 months."
CON ISRAELI - "And don't people see that the Jews will just become another Nazi group? They kill Palestinians (Nazi ironguards). They send them to refugee camps (Nazi death camps), and now they are building a wall separating East Palestine from the West Palestine (the Berlin Wall)."
CON HAMAS - "I like to submit my sincerest congratulations för Israel's very prompt and resolute action against Shejyk Yassin. This murderous terrorist should have been terminated a long, long time ago. And please continue the good work and build the security fence."

Loh Mei specialist is a store in the People's Park food centre at Chinatown. "Ru wei" or braised meat, is very famous and commonly found in Taiwan, but somehow in Singapore, its not the case. Thus its good to see a store delicated to selling this alone.
Their Loh mei comes in 3 prices, $4, $6, or $8. The picture doesn't looks very flattering, but i felt that their loh mei is not bad, but the portion is kind of small at $4, and at a hawker centre paying 4 bucks is slighlty above average prices.
I used to eat this when I still stay around that area. Standard has dropped and portion reduced. But still unique in singapore. Taiwan braised meat/organs seems similar like our braised duck and pork? I had their braised organs in taipei, taste similar and very long queue, haha..
didally: yeah portion is reduced. Definitely unique in Singapore, you can't really find much stores selling braised meat and organs in Singapore, unlike taiwan.
Nothing special and taste only ordinary.


What to watch for & how to lower your rates the right way.
Everyone wants to do whatever they can to lower their auto rates – especially your broker (if they aren't trying to lower your insurance rates what are you paying them for, right?). That said, as auto insurance rates across Ontario continue to rise sharply, there will be fraudsters waiting to crawl out from under their rock to take advantage of unsuspecting hard working people.
How people get tricked into paying for fake auto policies.
The major reason people end up with fake auto policies has been Ontario's skyrocketing rates in recent months. The math is simple – as the number of auto accidents and cost of repairs in Ontario continue to rise, so do the insurance premiums people are forced to pay. The result? Drivers are so relieved to a find a cheap car insurance quote that they forget to check out if they're actually dealing with a registered insurance broker.
For example; in February of 2019 an Ontario man was charged for selling fake insurance policies to people, and preying on their need to find cheap car insurance. These "cash in hand" policies weren't only illegal, but they put drivers in jeopardy of financial loss and license suspension.
Drivers with fake policies are totally liable.
On top of the legal ramifications for being caught without insurance, it also leaves drivers completely un-covered. That means in the case of an accident they could end up owing millions which could result in wage garnishing and property liens.
Get cheap car insurance rates, the legal way.
First, it's important to know that not all policies are created equal. For example, our Excalibur Insurance Defenders ask all the questions needed to guarantee that you have the right coverage at the best price. They also give you options for increasing deductibles, reducing unnecessary coverage, share rate reduction programs – and make cheap insurance easy by representing more than 10 insurers under one roof. The reality is, while all policies are standard, there are optional coverages that you can choose which greatly affect what the policy will cover and what you will pay for car insurance.
Auto insurance coverage required by law in Ontario.
By law all insurance policies in Ontario must legally contain accident benefits, direct compensation and liability coverage. There are optional coverages and endorsements that you can legally opt out of, but it's crucial to know what you're giving up – and your increased exposure. For example, auto policies do not legally require comprehensive & collision or upset coverage, but removing either comes with an added risk.
What do I lose if I lower my rates by removing collision or upset coverage?
If you remove collision coverage you will not be covered for repairs on your vehicle if you hit another car or object. While it is tempting to remove this higher cost coverage, you need to consider your ability to pay for the repair out of pocket, or pay off your car loan if your vehicle is written off. Not something we recommend unless you consult an insurance broker.
Your collision coverage is also subject to a deductible. A deductible is the amount of money that you contribute towards paying for the damage to your car in the event of a collision. Deductibles are often $500 or $1000 but can be higher – and this is one option to lower your car insurance rates.
Can I lower my rate by reducing or removing comprehensive coverage?
Comprehensive coverage pays to repair your vehicle resulting from damage that is not covered under the collision section of your auto insurance policy – including fire, theft or attempted theft, lightning, windstorm, hail, rising water, earthquake, explosion, riot, falling aircraft, sinking on water, falling or flying objects, missiles and vandalism.
You can choose to not have comprehensive coverage in your car insurance policy but it's important to talk to an insurance broker to determine out of pocket costs for something as simple as a broken windshield – which can leave you out of pocket in the thousands, even for older vehicles. Comprehensive coverage is also subject to a deductible that you would pay in the event of a claim, and the insurance company would pay the remaining amount. Deductibles for comprehensive often range between $500 to $1000, and as with collision coverage – a higher deductible can lower your rate instead of removing coverage completely.
Rate reducing programs are offered by some insurance companies.
Online tracking allows some drivers to dramatically lower their rates based on their driving habits.
How to check if you're dealing with a credible broker.
At the end of the day we work with one thing in mind when it comes to lowering what you pay for auto insurance in Ontario – we fight like a gladiator to find you the best car insurance rates, but only after we asked you the right questions and given you advice to make smarter decisions.
Speak to one of our Excalibur Defenders today and let us help you lower your rates.
