Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honourable gentlemen were brutal savages in an unknown land, mine were priests in the Temple of Solomon.

To withdraw is not to run away - and to stay is no wise action - when there's more reason to fear than to hope.

I find distasteful the traditional idea of Christianity which preaches the resurrection of the body.
