My Mother has been a terrible woman, she neglected and should be brought to trial over it, she said that we were unhelpable, as we had disabilities growing up. Some Mothers do not deserve the respect of Mother's Day. Sylvia and my father Frank will be tried by God in accordance with the Christian faith. It is sad to know that people can be like this but they are out there, if you have a child, love your child and be thankful.

I was in Isreal, and Lebanon in the 77,78 while Beriut and Gaza resembled the Riviera with night clubs, shopping, food, music. When I see the state of Palestinians scattered around the world or trapped in a tiny coastal prison of Gaza that was at one point the pride of Isreal, I get ill. I care not for religion, my focus is the politics. We condemned and opposed Appartied everywhere but in Isreal, time is long overdue to ask why, and why we support Isreali's crimes.
