ELL: RE: Re: Additional suggestion to UNESCO/Discovery

[Toni Waho]

Mr Yakimoto did not write the suggestion.  He forwarded it to the ELL.  Noel
Rude wrote it.  I wrote the following directly to Akira but was not posted
on the ELL by Mr Yakimoto.

Dear Akira
I am writing to you direct rather than send this via the ELL.  I would like
to make contact with the Discovery Channel people about our language, Maori.
I note that the South Pacific is not included in the geographical area that
they are interested in and would like to put a case up for them to consider
Maori.

East, Hebrew as a living language truly is endangered.  Hebrew, of course,
is native only to this one tiny strip of land, and happens to be the only
language endangered by such universal prejudice and intense genocidal
hatred.

I don't believe Mr. Yakimoto does understand the European Union, nor Leftist
Intellectuals like for instance myself. There's a widespread feeling in
Europe that the troubles in the Middle East should come to an end through a
true peace, which of course would mean that Israel would abide with
Resolution 242, and that the Arab world would officially recognize Israel as
a legitimate state. It's as simple as that. So it's utter nonsense saying
there's some 'universal prejudice and intense genocidal hatred' against the
state of Israel, endangering Hebrew.
