We Must Not Be Silent!
By Dr. SOLLY DREMAN (formerly of Winnipeg, now of Jerusalem, where for years he was a Professor of Psychology at Ben Gurion University of the Negev)
The recent scandalous valedictorian speech at the Max Rady College of Medicine by Gem Newman should not be forgotten or forgiven, nor should we as Jews be silent. Newman’s address was a biased, prejudiced condemnation of Israel and, by association, of the Jewish people at large. In labelling Israelis as colonialists he ignored the fact that the Jewish people have been indigeneous to that region of the Middle East for over 3700 years and his claim that the Jews are colonizers and have unjustifiably displaced the Palestinian people and are divesting them of their homeland is false.
There have always been Jews living in that area since Abraham moved his family from Mesopotamia and the First and Second Temples were built, dating back over 3000 years. Arabs began to populate the area only later when economic, industrial, and technological advances occurred and, in 1948, when the State of Israel was declared, five Arab armies invaded the country with the intent to exterminate all Jews and take it over. Numerous conflicts have taken place since with the latest being the barbaric attack on October 7th by Hamas when they invaded the Gaza Envelope brutally raping, killing through decapitating, torturing and burning alive approximately 1200 men, women and children and abducting 252 people including women, children and the elderly with Hamas promising to continue to do so.
The overwhelming negative response by many fellow Jews – both in Israel and in the Diaspora to Newman’s provocative address provides a platform for a firm but essential message: “We must not remain silent.” The protest occurring in academia today and the reluctance of senior academic administrators to react forcefully to curtail the protests either condoning or promoting violence against Jews, nor to condemn the antisemitic nature of these protests, is disturbing. To the best of my knowledge, few senior academic administrators have acted forcefully against such demonstrations nor taken actions against the blatant antisemitic nature of the majority of these protests.
I alerted Ernest Rady recently to Newman’s speech and, to his credit, he immediately wrote a strong letter of objection, which reflected his own pain and disappointment, to both the Dean of the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Peter Nickerson, and to the President of the University of Manitoba, Michael Benarroch. Rady pointed out that, paradoxically, the medical school, which is named after his father Max, had had admission quotas for Jews for years.
Dean Nickerson responded immediately to Rady’s letter, with President Benarroch also responding – after being bombarded by numerous responses to Newman’s inciteful remarks.
As a Jew and a former Winnipeger who made Aliyah to Israeli in 1964, I am deeply disturbed by the current situation and the negative reaction of the international community at large. Newman’s address in an academic setting provides a platform for addressing some of my concerns and particularly with the concern that we not remain silent. As a Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology and former Brigade Psychologist of the Jerusalem Brigade in the Yom Kippur War I have been intimately involved with some of the mainstreams of Israeli life, such as war and terrorism, death and dying, post traumatic stress, immigration, and family crisis. Israel today is faced with a crisis for its very survival and the maintenance of a home in time of crisis for the Jewish people. If we do not fight for this right and for our homeland there is a danger we will not survive either as a nation nor as a people. Relevant to this concern is what is occurring in academia today internationally and our need to be active and address these concerns. In this light we should be mindful of what occurred in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s when Jews were barred from academic studies and Jewish faculty were fired en masse – a prelude to the Holocaust.
Hence, it is imperative that we as concerned Jews not be silent today and speak out loudly and clearly about events like the Newman valedictorian address. It is my opinion that we should only reconsider future funding of academic institutions if they take firm steps against antisemitism, such as the president of the University of Manitoba suggested , when he wrote of promoting the idea of education for students, faculty and staff regarding antisemitism. As for Gem Newman, who has taken the Hippocratic Oath to devote his life to treating patients regardless of nationality, race or ethnic origin, he and his kind should not be licensed to practice medicine unless an apology is rendered by him for his speech – which he has stubbornly and smugly refused to do to date.
In closing I want to state that my concern is deep and genuine and I pray that the uncertainty that is facing us today as Jews, Israelis, Winnipegers and citizens of the world at large will be surmounted. This will require patience and the willingness of all parties involved not only to speak, but to listen carefully.

Staying Safe Online: How to Verify Phone Numbers and Emails in a Digital World
In today’s connected world, communication happens instantly. Whether through phone calls, text messages, or email, we receive information faster than ever before. While this connectivity brings convenience, it also increases exposure to scams, fraud, and misinformation. Communities that value strong social ties, philanthropy, education, and global connection—such as Jewish communities worldwide—are particularly active online, making digital awareness essential.
One practical way to stay safe is by verifying unknown phone numbers and email addresses before responding. Modern lookup tools now make this process quick and accessible.
Why Phone and Email Verification Matters
The Rise of Digital Fraud
Across North America and beyond, online fraud has become more sophisticated. Scam calls may impersonate:
- Charitable organizations
- Financial institutions
- Government agencies
- Community leaders
- Family members in distress
Similarly, phishing emails often appear legitimate at first glance, using familiar names or logos to gain trust.
Before replying, donating, clicking links, or sharing sensitive information, verification can prevent costly mistakes.
Common Scenarios Where Verification Helps
1. Unknown Calls Requesting Donations
Many people are generous and active in charitable giving. Unfortunately, scammers sometimes exploit this generosity. If you receive a call asking for contributions to a cause, verifying the phone number can help confirm legitimacy.
2. Suspicious Emails About Account Access
Emails claiming urgent action is required—such as password resets or banking alerts—are common phishing tactics. Looking up the sender’s email can reveal whether it is associated with known fraud reports.
3. Online Marketplace Transactions
When buying or selling items online, verifying the contact details of the other party reduces the risk of fraud.
4. Reconnecting with Old Contacts
Sometimes you receive a message from someone claiming to be an old friend, colleague, or distant relative. A quick lookup can confirm whether the contact information aligns with public records.
Introducing ClarityCheck
One of the tools designed to simplify this process is ClarityCheck. The platform allows users to search for information associated with phone numbers and email addresses, helping individuals make informed decisions before responding.
What Makes ClarityCheck Useful?
Quick Searches
Users can enter:
- A phone number
- An email address
The system then aggregates publicly available data and digital signals connected to that contact detail.
Easy-to-Understand Results
Rather than overwhelming users with technical data, the platform presents results in a structured format, making it easier to interpret findings.
Privacy-Conscious Approach
The service focuses on organizing publicly accessible information, helping users assess risk without intrusive methods.
How Phone Number Lookup Works
When a phone number is entered into a lookup service, several types of information may be identified:
| Data Category | Possible Insights |
| Carrier Information | Type of line (mobile, landline, VoIP) |
| Geographic Indicators | Area code origin |
| Spam Reports | Previous complaints or flags |
| Digital Footprint | Public listings linked to the number |
This information can help users determine whether a number is likely legitimate or potentially fraudulent.
For example, a donation request from a number flagged repeatedly for spam activity would be a clear warning sign.
How Email Lookup Enhances Security
Email addresses often reveal patterns that help identify risk.
Key Signals in Email Verification
- Domain age and reputation
- Presence in public databases
- Links to known scam reports
- Associated online profiles
For instance, an email claiming to represent a large institution but using a newly created domain may warrant caution.
Verification adds a layer of confidence before you respond.
Community Safety and Digital Responsibility
Strong communities rely on trust. However, trust must be balanced with vigilance in digital spaces.
Protecting Elders and Vulnerable Individuals
Older adults are often targeted by phone and email scams. Sharing tools and knowledge about verification can significantly reduce risk.
Encouraging family members to:
- Verify unknown callers
- Avoid sharing financial details immediately
- Consult trusted relatives before responding
can prevent emotional and financial harm.
Practical Steps Before Responding to Unknown Contacts
Here is a simple checklist:
- Do not click links immediately.
- Avoid sharing personal information.
- Verify the phone number or email address.
- Contact the organization directly using official channels.
- Report suspicious activity when necessary.
Verification tools like ClarityCheck fit naturally into step three of this process.
Benefits Beyond Fraud Prevention
While safety is the primary goal, phone and email lookup services can also offer other advantages.
Reconnecting with Confidence
In globally connected communities with family members across countries, unexpected messages are common. A lookup can confirm whether a contact aligns with publicly available information before continuing the conversation.
Professional Due Diligence
For professionals—whether in law, business, education, or nonprofit leadership—validating contact information before engaging in partnerships or transactions adds credibility and reduces risk.
Supporting Charitable Integrity
Legitimate charitable organizations depend on trust. When individuals verify contacts, it discourages impersonation scams that damage the reputation of authentic nonprofits.
Digital Awareness in 2026 and Beyond
As artificial intelligence tools become more advanced, scam attempts may look increasingly realistic. Voice cloning, AI-generated emails, and automated phishing campaigns are becoming more common.
Verification tools help counteract these threats by:
- Identifying patterns linked to fraudulent activity
- Aggregating public signals into accessible reports
- Providing clarity before emotional decisions are made
Digital literacy is no longer optional—it is part of responsible community engagement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to look up phone numbers and emails?
Yes, when using services that rely on publicly available information and comply with data protection regulations.
Can lookup tools guarantee accuracy?
No tool guarantees 100% accuracy. Results should be used as guidance, combined with personal judgment.
Should verification replace common sense?
Absolutely not. It should complement cautious behavior and independent confirmation.
Final Thoughts
Community strength is built on trust, generosity, and connection. In a digital era, protecting those values requires thoughtful use of technology.
Verifying unknown phone numbers and email addresses before responding is a simple but powerful step. Whether preventing fraud, safeguarding charitable giving, or reconnecting with old contacts, tools like ClarityCheck help individuals move forward with greater confidence.
Digital awareness is not about suspicion—it is about clarity.

Methods of Using Blockchain on Gambling Sites: Explained by Robocat Casino
The world of online gambling is changing and chasing new tools to entertain visitors. Players demand more transparency, faster payouts, and complete control over their money, making traditional casinos seem outdated. Modern websites like Robocat Casino utilize blockchain technology, which is the digital foundation for everything from crypto transactions to provably fair games. If you’re unfamiliar with how casinos use blockchain, we’ll cover it below.
What is Blockchain in a Casino?
Blockchain is a system that records data in a way that cannot be altered. The technology operates using a decentralized ledger shared across multiple computers. Every transaction is recorded in the ledger, which is regularly updated and accessible to all participants.
These properties are useful for gambling sites like Robocat Casino. The digital ledger processes every bet and prevents alteration. As a result, every action is transparent, and players have no doubt about the website’s integrity.
All transactions occur on a decentralized ledger, so there is no central authority that could interfere. This ensures complete anonymity. This privacy has led to an increasing number of players choosing to bet at crypto casinos.
How is This Technology Used in Gambling?
There are several ways users might encounter blockchain technology at sites like Robocat Casino.
- Provably fair games. Traditional online casinos have always been criticized for their fairness, as players doubt whether the odds are truly in their favor. Blockchain technology eliminates this uncertainty. Systems with provably fair games use cryptographic algorithms and publicly accessible hashes to control the outcome of each spin or draw. This limits backend manipulation and ensures transparency between the website and the user.
- Greater anonymity and lower KYC (know your customer) requirements. Not all crypto casinos eliminate the KYC process, but many are more lenient than casinos that exclusively accept fiat transactions. Some sites allow you to play with just a wallet address, without the need for identification documents.
- Cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. With blockchain technology, you can forget about the five-day wait for funds to appear in your gaming account. When working with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, deposits and withdrawals are almost instantaneous. Interacting with cryptocurrency goes beyond speed. It offers low transaction fees and 24/7 global availability.
- Smart contracts. These are self-executing contracts based on the blockchain. In casinos, they can automate everything from loyalty bonuses to jackpot payouts. Such procedures require no human intervention, eliminating the risk of errors.
- Tokenized loyalty systems. Casinos can issue their own tokens as rewards. This is a cryptocurrency that can be sold or spent on the website. This approach creates real economic value for loyalty programs and motivates users to choose the casino.
The evolution of blockchain will lead to an expanded role at Robocat Casino and other gambling websites. Experts expect the use of decentralized applications (dApps) to increase. These operate on blockchain networks, rather than on a single server, and ensure complete decentralization of casinos. The absence of intermediaries or regulatory bodies will provide players with greater transparency.
