Any thoughts from our friends in the UK?
why is her memory blessed? by who?
yes – that is why the most popular song last week in England was “the wicked witch is dead” (wizard of oz). I guess not everyone thought she was so good.
She was as tough as they came, a real leader, and a true friend of the Jewish People. She was one of the few who understood what was good for the Free World. She will surely be missed.
Margaret Thatcher Z’L was a tremendous Oheves Yisroel.
Margaret Thatcher Z’L was the one who single handedly, nominated the Late Chief Rabbi:- Lord Immanuel Jacobovits ZT’L to be a Lord; What was her reason?:- Because she admired his strong conviction to Mesoroh, and the fact that he would never bend from the truth, even when it was very uncomfortable.
Prime Minister Netanyohu has mentioned that he is flying to London to attend Margaret Thatcher’s Levayeh, becaise of her staunch Ahavas Yisroel; Let’s bear in mind, that this is a very difficult timing for Binyomin Netanyohu, as he surely is going to want to be in Israel on Thuesday for Yom ha’Atzmaut, and the very next day, he has to be in London for the Levaye.
She represented Finchley early on in her career and first forged ties with the Jewish community then.
Margaret Thatcher Z’L was a firm beleiver in the Issur meDeOrraiso of “Lo Sasig Gevul Re’acho” and of the statement of “Orur hoIsh Asher Masig Gevul Re’eihu” therefore she took no nonsense from the Argentinans when they had the audacity to storm into the Falkland Islands, and to true protect the Falkland Island’s legitimate boundaries, sent down the British Army to rightfully take back the Falkland Islands.
This strong conviction of hers, was a defining moment in her prime ministerhood.
I am amused by the fact that when someone like Michael Jackson or Steve Jobs dies, everyone is much too sensitive to talk about their shortcomings, but when Margaret Thatcher dies, she’s fair game.
Some felt attracted by her style while others were repelled by it. But why are people surprised that the iron lady had a magnetic personality?
The ones that were celebrating her death are the sick punks that are upset that she righfully took their welfare away and she attempted to put them to work. Sadly alot in Britain have no interest to work and the Labour policies encourage just that. Thatcher turned the country around. It was known as the booming eightys because of her policies. Of coarse she would be sorely missed by sane people not by the scum of society
She did support Medinat Yisrael, which is a lot more than a lot of the commenters here do! And for that she deserves praise.
But she was no friend to freedom. She praised the Pinochet regime in Chile and supported the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Medinat Yisrael does not want to be associated with regimes like those!
She was a great woman. I wasn’t alive during her reign except the last 2 years but I read that the world was a much better place under her and Regan.
” I read that the world was a much better place under her and Regan”
Actually it was much, much worse. The Soviet Union was still around. It ceased to exist after they left office.
Interestingly, Thatcher was never that popular in the UK. The most her party ever got in a general election was 43.9% of the vote. And she was big into high taxes including a 90% tax on North Sea oil and the notorious poll tax that ended up driving her from office. Reagan, on the other hand won a majority of the popular vote in 1980 and a landslide in 1984.
“Actually it was much, much worse. The Soviet Union was still around. It ceased to exist after they left office.”
it ceased to exist thanks, in large part, to ronald reagan.
May she rest in pieces.
There are bigger problems facing Anglo-Jewry.
