Only Massa God can solve Middle East conflict

Dear Sir:

The war going on between Israel and Lebanon is really a sad thing. War, on a whole, is an awful thing, because of all the innocent people killed. What I hate, Mr. Editor, is all this talk about the Bible. Everyday during the week people have been calling the radio talk show talking about the Bible say that there will be wars and rumors of wars. Caribbean people act if they know the Bible so much, we all should be saved everlastingly.

I don’t pretend to even to begin to understand the Bible, but through but the book of Psalms which is my favorite part of the Bible, David speaks about the Lord protecting the Israelites, as they were the people unfairly treated by Egypt, an Arab country. So from what I can see it is Israel who will receive redemption every time there is a Middle East crisis for the Bible does say that the Israelites are the Chosen People.

One thing, I do know sir, is that as long as this world exists there will never be peace in the Middle East, because although the Israelites are the Chosen People, the Arabs will never accept Israel, and there will always be war. Only Massa God can intervene.

Diaspora officials must reach out to wider community

Dear Editor:

I notice from various advertisements on radio and newspaper that there is a new representative for the Jamaican Diaspora in the South Eastern United States. I hope that this new representative, Mr. Hill, will make a strong effort to make more Jamaicans in the region understand what this Diaspora movement is all about. To me it seems like a Broward movement. I live in Cutler Ridge and we have never heard of a meeting being held down here in the South West Miami. Jamaicans down here are part of the Diaspora too.

One of the main objective of Mr. Hill’s administration is to make sure to get a mailing list of as many Jamaicans as possible, of all classes, and send them regular newsletters and other information about this Diaspora movement. All Jamaicans must be reached out to and embraced.
