Jew contributions to the world

A Jew Responds to the Muslim Call to Boycott All Things Jewish

Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, responded to the Muslim Call to Boycott All Things Jewish.
Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything originated with Jewish people.

In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:

"Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew.
If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.
"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.
Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.
If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew.
If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.
Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.
Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.
Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the ‘Schick reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.

"Muslims should not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, by the work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.
They should continue to remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.
"Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to suffer Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.
Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.

"In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should be proud to obey the Islamic boycott." by the way, don't call for a doctor on your mobile phone because the mobile phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.

Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made to civilization? 
The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's population.

Perhaps the world's Muslims should consider investing more in education and less in blaming the Jews and the rest of humanity for all of their problems.

Muslims must ask 'what can they do for humankind' before they demand that humankind respects and supports them or tolerates their evil to humanity.

Usun Apau Plieran

by jpesua' 

Usun Apau Plieran is a remote abandoned Kenyah Jamuk, Badeng and Lepu Aga' village settlement in 1860, Belaga district. To be exact, Usun Apau Plieran is located at the upstream of Sungai Plieran and Sungai Tiyut. The highest peak that close to this area are Bukit Busing 1300m and Mudung Batu Bora about 1450m. There are a few old longhouse sites at this area such as Long Metalon, Long Ampan Aing (Sungai Abanang), Long Bora (Sungai Bora), Long Taa, Ka Laeh, Lidung Jelo and Lolau Mabo.

Travel to Plieran involves a six hours 4WD drive from Bintulu to Belaga, using the Bintulu-Bakun trunk road and look for the junction to Murum Dam from the Murum Dam junction it takes about 70 km to the Metalun new Penan resettlement.

History

As requested by the Baram Resident officer Dr. Charles Hose (1891), in 1893 some of the Kenyah Badeng (the Madangs) of Plieran migrated to Baram headwaters in Long Teboken, Teboken river and two years later after harvest festival they moved downriver to Long Benalui, Data river (tributary to Silat river) where Dr. Charles Hose, the Baram Resident organised an expedition and visited their village at the foot of Mudong Alan, Long Benalui in November 3, 1898 (to what he called 'the Madangs country'). The remaining who refused to migrate to Baram, finally at this point a few of them turned back to Lidung Jelo, Long Benampan (Sungai Luar), Long Malim, Long Petan and Long Ca, Sungai Danum in 1918 to join the other Kenyah Badeng (the Madangs) groups in Danum. The exact location of their settlements in East Usun Apau and upper Rejang was not stated in Charles Hose's journal because he never visit them in upper Rejang. He only visited them in 1898 when some of them have moved from East Usun Apau to remote Upper Silat (Long Benalui, Data River (tributary of Silat river) near Mudong Alan). The oral history from our ancestors were the single source of truth about a few settlement areas.

"Hose's progress was delayed by endless palavers and by rivers in spate from the heavy rain in the mountains. Finally, his fotilla of canoes entered the Silat, the last major tributary of the Baram, where they were met by the emissaries from the Madang. Just who the Madang were remains something of a mystery. Indeed they managed to have hostile relations with all their neighbours and seem to have moved about repeatedly in search of an isolated valley. Iban depredations had only recently caused them to move from the headwaters of the Rejang, to the East of Usun Apau, and so into the remote upper Silat River (Hose and McDougall 1912:II:28I-92)"

Lidung Jelo, at Usun Apau Plieran (Pliran / Plieran / Pleiran / Peliran) is a fully abandoned Kenyah Badeng populated old village settlement in 1920s, Belaga district. Plieran holds a very special place in the hearts of many Badeng Madangs. We owe it to them and to future generations to conserve and enhance its natural environment and cultural assets. These places were visited in the late 1930s, 1940s, 1977, 1980s, 1989 and 2006 by a few groups of Kenyah Badeng to verify the old longhouse sites as well as the ancient burial sites. Due to the great pressure from the Baram Resident Officer, in 1891, practically all the inhabitants of the Baram had accepted the Rajah's government and acknowledged it by the payment of some tax, called door-tax of two dollars per family. The Kenyahs, do not feeling themselves needed of any such protection, were less ready to accept the Resident's proposals. First of all, they desired peace, or at any rate less warfare, and it was possible to convince them that this result might be achieved by pointing to other districts such as the Rejang and Jenalong (Tubau), with whose affairs they had some acquaintance. Most of them eventually start to move from Lidung Jelo go upstream Plieran and entered the Medang river (a tributary of the hulu Plieran river) adjacent to the river that flows into the Teboken river then Data river and settled at the confluence of the so-called Long Teboken. Three (3) years later they went to Long Benalui (not far from Mudong Alan) another tributary to Data river and not far from the Silat river in Baram district.

During our recent expedition to village site in Lidung Jelo, Usun Apau Plieran, we found more than three upright piles (a real hardwood) of old houses in a straight line still remained in the ground.

Geography

The Mount of Batu Bora is one of two peaks of a mountain ridge which runs for 2.5 kilometres (1.5 miles) just northwest of the abandoned Kenyah settlements along the Plieran river, in this area called the Plieran Valley and on the northwest is Apau Beduk. The peak to its north is called Mudung Batu Bora, at 1450 metres (4,757 feet), while the peak to the far north is the Mount Selidang , at 1410 m (4,493 feet). The ridge acts as a watershed, and its eastern side is the beginning of the Tiang and Weng river and to the south is Plieran river.

Location

The Usun Apau Plieran Highlands is a series of beautiful mountain lying slightly over 820m above sea levels (asl) and flanked by jungle-covered peaks rising to more than 1,4000m. Bukit Busing around 1,300m and Mudung or Bukit Batu Bora around 1,400m are the highest peaks not far from this area.

To be exact, Usun Apau Plieran is located at the Upper Plieran (Sungai Plieran) and Sungai Tiyut (tributary of Plieran river).

There are a few old longhouse sites at these areas such as Long Ampan Aing (to the western ear, Ampan Aing in Kenyah enunciation sounded like Abanang or Ampan Ayng, hence Sungai Abanang or Abanine), Long Bora (Sungai Bora), Long Taa, Ka Laeh, Lolau Mabo and Lidung Jelo. Long Ampan Aing and Lidung Jelo were the most important of the Kenyah Badeng settlements in Plieran in early 1820s.

You will easily notice a variety of local fruit trees along the Plieran river bank with the most common being local fruit such as durian, rambutan, pulasan, bamboo, terap, langsat, 'eman', 'nanga' or sago palm (Eugeissona utilis), 'mali' and 'bua' alim' (wild mango) when you take a boat ride from Plieran bridge at Long Ampan Aing, Long Bora, Long Taa, Ka Laeh to Lidung Jelo (upstream). All these crops were planted by the Kenyah Badeng people in 1820's-1900's the Penan in Plieran acknowledged that.

Lidung Jelo

Discover what it’s like in Lidung Jelo, Ka Laeh and Long Ampan Aing with local Kenyah touring some of the old longhouse’s sites famous landmarks and history. Lidung Jelo (also known as Lidong Jelor / Jilor) is a completely remote Kenyah's longhouse settlements deep into the mountainous interior near the border with North Kalimantan and located by the Plieran river bank, Belaga division of Sarawak. There are many local fruit trees which still grows wild in these old settlements area. This place is important because it is one of the earlier and biggest settlements of Badeng/Madangs that is used to be their last stronghold, culture, heritage and a thriving center of Kenyah life as well as a major migration route from Belaga to Baram and vice versa at the very heart of Usun Apau Plieran Highlands. It takes about 35 minutes boat ride to get to Lolau Mabo from Lidung Jelo, which is located at upper Plieran.

Mudung Batu Bora

The Batu Bora mountain range is a sandstone range lying between the Plieran river and the great Usun Apau Plateau to the north, or about 3.5 kilometres from the Plieran river to the south. The main Batu Bora mountain is 1,500m high and dominates the upper Plieran valley. The mountain forms a great massif. While on the south-east of the range is the secondary formation of Mudung Batu Bora, a great ridge 1,300m high with a series of jagged rocks sticking out along the top like teeth. Batu Bora is also known by the Kenyah name as Mudung Bora, which refers to white (white as cotton) with low clouds hanging over the mountain. A day-trip climbs to the 1,500m Mudung Bora summit can be organised and the old route will give climbers a taste of the Plieran Range terrain to offers a great challenge for mountain climbing enthusiasts . It is possible to climb Mudung Batu Bora, but this is for planned expedition, experience guides, mountaineering gears and a few porters will be needed.

Climate

The mountainous inland region extends from Sarawak's watershed boundary with East/North Kalimantan. This region is generally over 725 metres above sea levels with substantial areas exceeding 1,400 metres. Stand about 2,378 feet above sea level, the climate in Apau Plieran is quite pleasant, owing to its medium high elevation, it can become quite chilly in the morning and the evening. The temperature in the upper Plieran is usually about 3-4 degrees Celsius lower than the temperature in the lowland area. Average temperature ranges from 20 to 26 °C (68 to 78 °F) with the lowest temperatures between November and February. The temperature seldom exceeds 29 °C (84 °F) even during the warmest part of the year.

How to get there

Usun Apau Plieran is accessible from Bintulu by 4WD along the logging road. Travel to Usun Apau Plieran involves a six (6) hours 4WD drive from Bintulu to Belaga, using the Bintulu-Bakun trunk road and the road to Bakun / Murum Dam. From the Murum's Dam junction passing along the logging road and palm oil plantation roads, it takes about 2–3 hours to reach the Usun Apau Plieran the Badeng Madangs Highlands or the estimated distance from Murum Dam junction to Usun Apau is about 60 KM.

A variety of other treks included 4-5 days long trails leading to North Kalimantan (with overnight stops in the rainforest nearby Upper Hulu Plieran river, Medang river and Upper Iwan river).
