SUMMARY OF TALK
The Government is heading toward a shutdown. Social issues such as planned parenthood and abortion are the cause. We are in the middle of a situation that reads like a history book. The Egyptian revolt was a fight by young people in search of a better life. What needs to happen is the reform of Islam from within this country. Hatred of Muslims is behind the unrest even in Briarcliff Manor and other local communities. In Israel Arabs remember this as a day of catastrophe in 1948. Arabs will tell Israelis to leave so Arab refugees could enter Israel so as to maintain their right to return to live in the Palestinian state. The Middle East is a tinder box. Both speakers were happy to return to speak where the members speak freely and ask questions and serve a delicious lunch.
