First, thank you for such a wonderful explanation. Secondly (this may be
more information than you need or want ) I was on HRT (hormone
replacement therapy) for 10 years. The great news is that I have finally
passed menopause and all I have to worry about now is osteoporosis. My
hairdresser tells me that now that I'm not on the HRT regimen my hair might
take color again. :) It'll be so nice being a redhead again. :)

"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."
