Dear Over Qualified Editors,
I think the number of the new cases was somehow transposed on you in the headlines. Please look into it and amend the number to 475. That number in the detail is correct just a minor slip in the headline. It shows 745 in stead.
Thanks.
Editorial at its best!!! I’m watching you now!!!
Dear Ittu Aba Farda,
Thank you for the important correction and for the flattery too 🙂 This project is a single handed effort. The web master ( and/or editor) is doing it on top of a full time job in the hassling Toronto. Your support is much appreciated.
Dear Editors,
Ain’t a big deal. The one who never makes mistakes is the one who does nothing. I am always encouraged to come here and quench my thirst about the affairs of the old country. This is the only place I feel safe to write my opinion about issues that affect those glorious and upright people who produced us all with out any concern that some potty mouths will hurl pejorative insults at me. I.m not gun shy but it saddens me when I see eyal-alsouqs given a leeway to spew around profanity at people they don’t even know. I commend you for not letting bigots of every ethnic group roam around on your esteemed website. Let’s be honest. Free exchange of ideas guaranteed by the law of the land never existed in the old country. Therefore there must a large section among the population that lacks the sophistication to look thru what it is being thrown at its raw emotion. Bigots among us seem to realize that fact and that is why their are busy throwing around inciting derogatory epithets like candies. There are several ways one can protect the population danger but two of them stand out from the rest. The first one is strong law enforcement with heavy oversight and the other is the ability and willingness by the media not to be the platform for those who are hell bent to pitch neighbors against neighbors. With the looted 36+ billion US dollars at their disposal there are plenty of such sinister individuals running around like rabid dogs these days. Kudos to you for denying them the playing field.
Peace unto you and your family! Stay safe!!!!
