3rd Intifada

What is Apple thinking?! We finally got Facebook to remove the Third Intifada page because it was a clear incitement to violence and racial war. And now Apple has an app for that?!

Israel asks Apple to remove '3rd intifada' application

Yuli Edelstein in letter to Steve Jobs: 'Application calls for uprising against Israel, iPad apps should not be instrument for incitement to violence.'

Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein sent a letter Tuesday to Apple CEO Steve Jobs requesting that the computer giant remove an application called the '3rd intifada' that gives information about protest activities, some of them violent, planned against Israel.

The same organization, Edelstein wrote, opened a Facebook page three months ago 'calling for an uprising against the State of Israel by use of lethal force, while using hateful material based on wild and groundless accusations.'

Edelstein said that Facebook removed the page after it became convinced of the page's 'harmful nature' and its potential of leading to the loss of life.

'I believe Apple, as a pioneering and progressive company, places the values of liberty, freedom of expression and creativity as a guiding light,' Edelstein wrote. 'Also, as a leader in its area, I am convinced that you are aware of this type of application's ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous.'

Edelstein called on the company to remove the application and continue in its tradition of applications 'dedicated to purely entertainment and informative purposes and not serve as a instrument for incitement to violence.'

Spring Gardens

My niece took me to a large commercial spring garden last Sunday, and it was a paradise. We had a delightful day, being together and taking photographs and just enjoying more and more beauty that God created for us.

Mother, I thought of you all day, wishing you could see these gardens. You always wanted to go to them. But I know you are seeing such beauty, and better, in Heaven. Heaven is the true paradise.

Mommy, I remember you.

Sombrero Fallout

"A sombrero fell out of the sky and landed on the main street of town in front of the mayor, his cousin, and a person out of work. The day was scrubbed clean by the desert air. The sky was blue. It was the blue of human eyes, waiting for something to happen. There was no reason for a sombrero to fall out of the sky. No airplane or helicopter was passing overhead and it was not a religious holiday." - Richard Brautigan (Sombrero Fallout)
