Gaza Flotilla Activists

Dear Consul General Andreadis,

Please thank your government for its sensible actions with respect to inflammatory actions by people whose time should be spent helping thousands dying in the Congo, South Sudan, Syria, Libya etc. Since they choose only to protest the government of Israel whose job it is to protect its people from importation of bombs and other weapons, I can only judge them as naïve at best and hateful of Israel (a Jewish state which includes 1.5 million Arabs) at worst.

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares, Esq.

RE: Future Run for Governor, My Opinion

Dear Gavin,

I will order the book.

A subject to tackle in your next book is how to run a balanced budget long term, City, State, Federal while giving the needy services, without stifling initiative of other people by inappropriate use of assistance. Interview twenty solid Democrat and Republican Mayors and Governors you respect, as well as business leaders you now know personally and respect.

Get the message across that you built businesses, you worked your way up (I remember you personally delivered wine to my friend Norman Wechsler), and you balanced budgets in business. At the same time, you have a big heart.

Southern Californian’s and Valley Californian’s know you mostly as the good looking, “nice young” guy who dealt with gay marriage and homeless.

Let them know you as a fiscally sound moderate. That means you might have to talk tough to unions. See what the Democrats are doing in NY state and Massachusetts. Cuomo and Patrick are looking to Christy and Walker.

Warmest regards,

Peter Dwares

Open letter to Congressman Daniel Issa Regarding Immigration

Congressman Daniel Issa
1800 Thibodo Road, #310
Vista, CA 92081

RE: Immigration

Dear Congressman Issa,

I agree with you in principle. I would expand legal immigration for best and brightest and others with investment capital to be 85% of total of legal immigrants admitted each year, reducing to 15% lottery. Bring in 1 million people per year.

Green cards for all approved graduates of qualified US colleges of foreign born Phd’s in science, math etc. Mayor Bloomberg is your ally.

Sincerely,

Dear Roger

Dear Roger,

Obama whether in civil liberties (phone listening in), questioning (not waterboard) but in Libya , Iraq, Afghanistan has the same policy as Bush II, except Israel where he is putting way too much pressure on it to get a feather in his cap or ingratiate himself with Arab Street or in his mind which is European, ward off a vote in the United Nations for unilateral Palestinian defined state. He’s learning on the job it’s easier to be a critique than a real politician.

Re: Mike Denunzio: Speaking Clearly

Mike,

I like the new title of your mailing “Speaking Clearly”. I like the bullet points. I agree 100%. You could also talk about Jerusalem welcoming all people to visit now, did not under Jordan.

West Bank was never a Palestinian nation but simply land controlled by Jordan.

All the medical and technological advances benefiting the world from Israel.

1.5 million Arabs live in Israel and there were far fewer Arabs there in 1948; often they came there to work for Jewish businesses.

Many Arab Israeli citizens are in college there and with superb health provided, unlike elsewhere in Middle East.

How no one seems to care about Kurds not having a nation or what Suni’s and Shiite’s do to each other. It’s always about the sliver of democracy called Israel, because 1) lots of people by nature favor underdogs while not understanding why they are underdogs and 2) anti-Jewish or anti-Semitism that sadly still lingers.

RE: On Bin Laden’s Killing

This man planted seeds for mass murder here, if not the direct commander. He was killed in a war he started. Morally, I have no reservation. Practically we might have gotten more information by keeping him alive, but at the same time we would be creating more publicity, thus kidnapping, killing that outweighs keeping him alive. It’s war with terror. The President did the right thing on this.

Peter Dwares Quoted in SF Gate Article

Coit Tower is the perfect place to see amazing cityscapes, check out depression-era murals, and get mugged.

The latter is not as popular with tourists and neighbors.

“It isn’t tourism,” said Peter Dwares, who has lived at the top of the Filbert Steps since 1978. “It is the bridge and tunnel crowd.”

A letter to the Board of Supervisors

June 16, 2010

Dear Board of Supervisors,

I am very much opposed to a Resolution condemning Israel’s continuing to keep itself safe from bombings such as those in Moslem countries occurring daily in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Question, where were Resolutions on Hamas bombing Israel, Hezbolah bombing Israel?  Where were Resolutions on Congo 3 million killed, Somalia killing our military boys in the streets, Sudan/Darfur  250,000 killed, Russians killing 160 journalists in two years, Mexico 26,000 dead this year, Turkish Kurdish killings, North Koreans killing 46 South Koreans, Hindus burned alive by Moslems.  Where were they?

The Turks provoked the Israelis. They knew no good would come from refusing inspection.  Just sacrificing their lives for an Israeli black eye. The Turks had options;  they wanted to make their point.  Sadly they did.

Focus on pot holes, balancing budget, bringing in job creating private industry.  That’s what we voted you in for.  Foreign policy is a Federal matter.

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares, Esq.

Letter to the Editor of New York Times

Letters to the Editor

New York Times

Your new columnist Tony Jundt can write, but he can’t see straight.  Turkey hasn’t been lost to the West by Israel’s defending itself.  It’s been lost by EU’s keeping it out.  Its been lost by its own Islamic President pushing it backward from a course of modernity begun by Kemal Ataturk a hundred years ago.  Jundt doesn’t like Israel perhaps because he is blinded by sympathy to what he sees as an oppressed people.  He needs to investigate who opposed them and he will find it’s been their wrong minded, negative, and too often corrupt leadership.  Or maybe he is just a hater looking for reasons to hate.

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares
