The "I" word
I've never thought highly of Prince Charles because of the way he treated Princess Diana. Now, there's yet another reason not to think highly of the heir to the British throne: His treatment of Israel. Over 2000 words about 250 years of history of British Jewry and he didn't mention the word 'ISRAEL' once!More from Brian of London here.
"Moses Montefiore"; "Jerusalem"; "Holocaust victims"; "Kindertransport" ... but not one mention of Israel and what that represents for Jews in the diaspora and could have represented for those who died in the Holocaust. Not one mention of the key role that was played by British Jews and the British Government in the founding of the State of Israel, for example through the Balfour Declaration.
No mention of Chaim Weizmann who spent much of his life in the UK
No mention that one of the Board's nine objectives is to "take such appropriate action as lies within its power to advance Israel's security, welfare, and standing"
Not a word.
Prince Charles is once again an embarrassment.

Nobody in UK can stand old monkey face. We are all just hoping something happens so that William can take the reins.
Europe's significant nobility have always acquired descriptive nicknames, including a good number of Charlies. E.g. "Bonnie Prince Charlie", "Charles the Bald", "Charles the Fat", "Charles the Hammer". This one, by his own words and behavior, we may call "Charles the Meshuggeneh". (I love all those so-descriptive Yiddish words. In this case, I use Meshuggeneh as I don't think Carl would approve of any of my other more earthy choices. :-)
Charles Windsor is yet another good-for-nothing, superficial, weakling male from a royal family that seems to excel only in producing such men. Like his other Windsor relatives, past and present, who are isolated and insulated by their position and wealth, Charles Windsor has lived in the proverbial "gilded cage", never had to confront the normal burdens, problems, crises, opportunities-the challenges of life. These are what give us life lessons and the opportunity to develop real adult character. In that sense, Charles Windsor has had a deprived life. The result, to borrow a Churchill quote, "He has so much to be modest about."
(And I agree with Carl. His behavior towards Princess Diana was contemptible. He married her in total bad faith and lack of integrity, carrying on his affair with Camilla before and after he married Diana.)
I love Prince Charles!
PRINCE CHARLES' -"GREAT "SPEECHES ON RELIGION. PRINCE CHARLES THE MUSLIM.
