While I am very much in favour of buying locally what bothers me is that the intro from Kendall is extremely close in tone and content (with local adaptations of course) to a similar piece of prose in Germany coming from the extreme political Right. I know Kendall has not the slightest leanings to such positions but nevertheless a German translation could only come from the Right.

What we do in Germany as an antidote if we see this bit of right wing propaganda is to add (ironically) "And before going to bed he prays to his Saviour (BORN IN ISRAEL)". (Palestine, actually, I know, but 'Israel' is better for the sake of the argument)
