I thought that you might find this message rather interesting
that the French speaking people of Nova Scotia may well
have prevented a genocide on the First Nations people of
Nova Scotia.

Shalom and Blessings.

Shalom Aaron:

I truly appreciate your encouragement and I will love it
if you forward that message to your friends on the net.

After all the things that we have done I would not blame
anybody who is Jewish for being extremely suspicious of
anything that is written by a Christian. The Canadian
government turned away the St. Louis as it sailed near
the coast of Nova Scotia. As you know only too well
two thirds of the Jewish refugees on that ship perished
in the Nazi holocaust. A significant level of anti-Semitism
within the Canadian psychology is undeniable.

In the province of Newfoundland my English, Scotch and Irish
distant relatives organized a total holocaust on
the First Nations peoples. Were it not for the presence of
a sizeable French community in Nova Scotia there is a
real possibility that the same policy would have been pursued
here in my province also.

You are correct that many Jews will appreciate this small
gesture. But others will be extremely suspicious especially
considering how we Christians would historically be in
the front row of our churches singing hymns one
day and out visiting our native North American neighbours
the next day trading blankets contaminated with small
pox virus.

Here is a quotation from Mr. Matthew Fox who seems to
have an excellent understanding of the magnitude of the
holocaust that we professing Christians organized on the First
Nations peoples:

Matthew Fox.
The Coming of the Cosmic Christ. (page 25)

"Consider what happened when white European
Christians came to America's shores in 1492. At that
time there were approximately eighty million inhabitants of
the Americas. By 1550 only ten million remained. In
Mexico the population on the eve of the European
conquest was about twenty five million. By 1600 only
one million remained. In the West Indies there was
practically a total extermination of the aboriginal peoples.
In 1492 there were 1,100,000 inhabitants of Santo
Domingo. By 1530 there were only 10,000 left. In
1492 there were 600,000 inhabitants of Cuba; by
1570 only 270 households remained."

"These facts reveal a holocaust of ineffable
proportions. Bartolome de las Casas, who observed
these events firsthand, wrote that "so great is the
Indians' despair that many take their own lives and they
will not rear children." Las Casas took the side of the
Indians in pleading their cause with the king of Spain
and the pope. he said that the colonists "exterminated
the Indians by their greed." He believed that the
Indians represented an advanced civilization in
comparison with that of of European Christianity.
He said, "The Indians were better equipped to supervise
the Spaniards and give them a way of life superior to what
the Spaniards had in Castille." As for the argument
that Indians too had wars and an occasional ritual of
human sacrifice, Las Casas commented: "The avarice
of the Spanish did more to destroy and depopulate this
land than all the sacrifices and wars that took place in
pagan times." The European compulsion to conquer
and satisy what Turner called their "ravenous pursuit"
of a "hunger beyond consumption" condemned pleasure
as sinful. One is reminded of W.H. Auden's comment,
"As a rule it was the pleasure-haters who became
unjust."

Between 1503 and 1660, 185,000 kilograms of gold
and 16 million kilograms of silver arrived at one Spanish
port from the Americas. Silver shipped from the New
World to Sain in these 150 years was triple the total
European reserves. The blood of the Indian peoples
was the price of this greed. What happened at
Auschwitz was heralded, and indeed surpassed, on
American soil four centuries earlier. Las Casas
believed that if ever there were cause for a "just war"
that the native peoples of the Americas held such a right
and that "this right will be theirs until the day of
judgment."

We Canadian Christians have a long road ahead of us
before either Jews or First Nations peoples will be able to
trust anything that we might pen!

But again, I sincerely thank you for your encouragement
Aaron.

Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom.
