The admins of MWC are acting pompous, arrogant, self-righteous, and very intolerant of other opinions... all of these characteristics are common of people who have their mindset.

From the little I know this organization represents a lot of fundraising and funding. The original ban on the Israelis as well as that blog's unreasonable reaction to your post is surely economically motivated. THere's a lot of money in the Arab world and they use it to defame and isolate Israel and by extension the Jews. <br />What do you think is the most constructive way to let "Mothers with cancer know what I think?Risa Tzoharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012097234847651866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-31971627255789895192009-11-11T20:54:44.402+02:002009-11-11T20:54:44.402+02:00The hell with them.

The Jew showing up isn't the problem. The trouble starts when the Jew says or does something, well, Jewish... like complain about people hating the Jews.
