Most people are familiar with C & H Sugar. That's California and Hawaii
sugar. John Spreckels made a mint on the stuff. Spreckels is locally
known as the father of San Diego, the investments and donations to the
city and Coronado are what made them what they are today. This is a
really interesting bio on him:

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth:
When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic,
and ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the Palestinians
love their children more than they hate us."
