Whoopi Goldberg Comments On Her Mother's Death

I'm not a big fan of Whoopi Goldberg.I usually cringe when she speaks because I abhor her opinion on subjects like the Roman Polanski child molestation case.In most cases,Whoopi Goldberg has trouble expressing herself in an eloquent fashion.

But,she sure chose the right words to relay her grief over her mother's death on the "The View" today.Her view of the death of her mother is one that many share.

She said that she wonders who will love her the way that her mother did.Although my mother is still alive,I felt that way when my grandmother died.She was the person that I was closest to.I knew that she loved me unconditionally.

When it came to the rest of my family,I just wasn't convinced that they could give me that same type of love.There had been too many conflicts between us in the past.Even though I still had my parents & sister,I felt so alone.It was a miserable feeling.

But,the death of my grandmother actually brought most of the family together.I get along much better with my parents now.In addition to that,I met my husband right before she died.He proved that he could stick with me through thick & thin during my difficult time of grief.

One year after she died,I had my first child.A beautiful son to love & care for.The end of one life spurred the beginning of another.My whole life changed at that point.

In addition to a gorgeous son,I have a beautiful daughter.After the death of the one person who I thought life would be incomplete without,I have actually found that my life is more complete now than ever.My husband & I have built a spectacular family together.And my parents have been a great support system for me as well.

Unfortunately,my sister & I have drifted pretty far apart.We used to be like Siamese twins.Although we still get along,we are not as close as we used to be.The death of my grandmother took a toll on my family as a whole.It helped to mend some family relationships while distancing others.

Fortunately for me,I have found the answer to the question that Whoopi posed to herself.I know that above everyone else my children love me unconditionally.They have supplemented the love of my grandmother.I hope that the same will be true for Whoopi Goldberg.

Will Israel & Palestine Really Agree To A Two-State Solution?

Will there finally be peace in at least a part of the Middle East? Can Israelis & Palestinians really agree to a two-state solution? These are the questions that many are pondering tonight.At this very moment,I am watching Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu talk about how time is running out for this two-state solution.He says that he "envisions a future of everlasting peace for all of mankind." I share that same dream of Utopia.If we find some peace in the Middle East,the world will be a slightly better place.And being instrumental in achieving a two-state solution would help the Obama administration out tremendously.

Here's more from CNN:

"In advance of direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians on Thursday, President Barack Obama said Wednesday evening that "this moment of opportunity may not soon come again."

"The hard work is only beginning--neither success nor failure is inevitable," Obama said in remarks from the White House Rose Garden. "But this much we know: If we do not make the attempt, then failure is guaranteed."

With the U.S. war in Iraq drawing to a close, the Middle East moved front and center for administration officials Wednesday as President Barack Obama held a series of high-stakes meetings with Israeli and Arab leaders.

Obama huddled behind closed doors at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

On Wednesday night, Obama called the talks "very productive."

But he also pointed to challenges ahead. "We are under no illusions," he said. "Passions run deep... there's a reason that the two-state solution has eluded previous generations --- this is extraordinarily complex and extraordinarily difficult."

"But," he continued, "we know that the status quo is unsustainable."

Obama and Netanyahu met first on Wednesday, briefly addressing reporters to condemn, in Obama's words, the "senseless slaughter" of two men and two women Tuesday near the West Bank city of Hebron.

"Terrorists ... are purposely trying to undermine these talks," Obama said earlier Wednesday. "The message should go out (that this attack) is not going to stop" the United States from backing Israel and the peace process."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.

Can You Believe That Hilter Had Jewish & African Blood Running Through His Evil Veins?

I just read an interesting article about Hitler's Jewish & African roots.According to DNA findings,the evil dictator was not a pure German after all.We know that he has the blood of millions of Jews on his hands.It appears that he may have had Jewish blood running through his veins as well.

Here's more on this ironic discovery from The Telegraph:

"A chromosome called Haplogroup E1b1b1 which showed up in their samples is rare in Western Europe and is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews.

"One can from this postulate that Hitler was related to people whom he despised," Mr Mulders wrote in the Belgian magazine, Knack.

Haplogroup E1b1b1, which accounts for approximately 18 to 20 per cent of Ashkenazi and 8.6 per cent to 30 per cent of Sephardic Y-chromosomes, appears to be one of the major founding lineages of the Jewish population.

Knack, which published the findings, says the DNA was tested under stringent laboratory conditions.

"This is a surprising result," said Ronny Decorte, a genetic specialist at the Catholic University of Leuven.

"The affair is fascinating if one compares it with the conception of the world of the Nazis, in which race and blood was central.

“Hitler's concern over his descent was not unjustified. He was apparently not "pure" or ‘Ayran’.”

It is not the first time that historians have suggested Hitler had Jewish ancestry.

His father, Alois, is thought to have been the illegitimate offspring of a maid called Maria Schickelgruber and a 19-year-old Jewish man called Frankenberger."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
