On the Jews and Their Lies Against Judaism

This site presents numerous cases and examples (explicit and implied – unconscionable silence) of lying Jewish rabbis. Not always, as the myth has it, to be stringent… But does exposure work?

Sometimes yes. Enough social psychological pressure can make the author admit to his own bias in print by his own hand! Hard to believe? Check out “Tamim Teheyeh” (Hebrew), by Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Hillel. The first edition was blatantly biased toward forbidding anything and everything mystical. The second edition was, too, of course, but at least the intellectual dishonesty was conceded in a special introduction.

(By the way, some of the Haskamos (approbations) on this sefer are enlightening.)

Do you realize paraphrasing that book title in your own post title makes you sound antisemitic?

Your point?

Ah.

Trump: Stay Home!

President Trump: Cancel Your Saudi Trip, Play More Golf

By

May 9, 2017

President Trump is about to embark on his first foreign trip, where he will stop in Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Vatican, before attending a NATO meeting in Brussels and the G-7 summit in Sicily. The media and pundits have loudly wondered why hasn’t he gone on a foreign trip sooner. I wonder why go at all?

What does the president hope to achieve with these meetings? This is a president who came into office with promises that we would finally start to mind our own business overseas. In December, he said that the policy of US “intervention and chaos” overseas must come to an end. Instead, he is jumping into a region – the Middle East – that has consumed the presidencies of numerous of his predecessors.

On Saudi Arabia, President Trump has shifted his position from criticism of the Saudi regime to a seemingly warm friendship with Saudi deputy crown prince Mohammad bin Salman. He has approved weapons sales to Saudi Arabia that President Obama had halted due to Saudi human rights abuses, particularly in its horrific war on Yemen.

While visiting Saudi Arabia, one of the most extreme theocracies on earth – where conversion to Christianity can bring the death penalty – President Trump will attend a meeting of Muslim leaders to discuss the threats of terrorism and religious extremism. No, not in Saudi Arabia, but in Iran, where Christianity is legal and thriving!

Perhaps President Trump’s flip-flop on Saudi Arabia was inspired by the ten separate Washington, D.C. public relations firms the Kingdom keeps on the payroll, at a cost of $1.3 million per month. That kind of money can really grease the policy wheels in Washington.

From there, the US President will travel to Israel. Does he believe he will finally be able to solve the 70-year-old Israel-Palestine conflict by negotiating a good deal? If so, he’s in for a surprise.

The problem persists partly because we have been meddling in the region for so long. Doing more of the same is pretty unlikely to bring about a different result. How many billions have we spent propping up “allies” and bribing others, and we’re no closer to peace now than when we started. Maybe it’s time for a new approach. Maybe it’s time for the countries in the Middle East to solve their own problems. They have much more incentive to reach some kind of deal in their own neighborhood.

Likewise his attendance at the NATO meeting is not very encouraging to those of us who were pleased to hear candidate Trump speak the truth about the outdated military alliance. We don’t need to strong-arm NATO members to spend more money on their own defense. We need to worry about our own defense. Our military empire – of which NATO is an arm – makes us weaker and more vulnerable. Minding our own business and rejecting militarism would make us safer.

Many pundits complain that President Trump spends too much time golfing. I would rather he spend a lot more time golfing and less time trying to solve the rest of the world’s problems. We cannot afford to be the policeman or nursemaid to the rest of the world, particularly when we have such a lousy record of success.

ציונות – מי כאן בצד הכפירה?!

איתא בגמרא ע”ז שלהי ה’ א’ – ריש ה’ ב’:

תנו רבנן, מי יתן והיה לבבם זה להם, אמר להן משה לישראל כפויי טובה בני כפויי טובה בשעה שאמר הקדוש ברוך הוא לישראל מי יתן והיה לבבם זה להם היה להם לומר תן אתה, כפויי טובה דכתיב ונפשנו קצה בלחם הקלוקל, בני כפויי טובה דכתיב האשה אשר נתתה עמדי היא נתנה לי מן העץ ואוכל.

רש”י שם:

ד”ה בלחם הקלוקל, “קל הוא המן ומפני שהיה נבלע בכל אבריהם ואינן יוצאין לחוץ קראוהו קלוקל ורגנו על כך והיא היתה להם טובה גדולה שלא היו צריכין לטרוח ולצאת שלש פרסאות לפנות, דתניא כשהן נפנין אין נפנין לא לצידיהן ולא לפניהן אלא לאחריהן ומחנה ישראל ג’ פרסאות היה.”

ד”ה אשר נתתה עמדי, “לשון גנאי הוא שתולה הקלקלה במתנתו של מקום והוא עשאה לו לעזר.”

ע”כ.

קמתי ללחום מלחמת השם במחרפיו:

אלו המרבים בבכיה של חנם צבועה אודות “גלות בין יהודים” ושמדות הם כפויי טובה! כאילו מידו יתברך כ”ז נסיון בלבד (בדומה לאומרים כך בלבם בענין עבודה נקיה בהיתר ואשה כשרה). אבל הכל להיפך: עצם שלטון ישראל מחסדי המקום ב”ה. שהלא מחנה היראים עם המסורתים הם הרוב, ואילו באנו בשם התורה באמת, לא בעדתיות, הערמה, וקידוש חטאי אבותינו ומנהגיהם, מיד היינו הרוב, א”כ כל הדמוקרטיה ושלטון חקות הגוים הכל מידינו יבקש. הרעות יצאו לא מפי עליון, ויש להתאונן רק על חטאינו. כמה נח “לכפור” ולכנות את המודים בטובתו של מקום “כופרים”… אכמ”ל מצער.

(אגב, גם האינטרנט אינו נסיון בלבד, כמובן למכיר.)

Quote Rabbi Shteinskybergerickitzoff, Not David Hamelech

This generation truly believes the self-fulfilling lie hammered into them in yeshiva, to wit we are all dummies. “Yeridas Hadoros“.

This is why quoting a Torah verse (or even a Gemara), especially one off the beaten “Maggid” track everyone has already heard, raises nothing but eyebrows. You can say the silliest things if the basis is a hortatory hearsay tale of a recently or strictly-posthumously crowned “Rebbe” or “Gadol”. Hardly any listeners dare wonder about context or reliability or applicability to practice. But quote even the strongest array of clear proof-texts, and all the audience can think of is examining and doubting the personality of the speaker himself. “How do you know? Who says you really understood the passuk?” is the only response. Nor is this is the opening salvo before an offer of an alternative understanding, mentioning a Medrash which interprets the verse differently, or a challenge from the Parsha or Sefer’s context. No. Noting presumption is enough for everyone to return to ignorant slumber.

The following jumps to recall:

Say that a thing is so, according to the P*pe or the Bible, and it will be dismissed as a superstition without examination. But preface your remark merely with “they say” or “don’t you know that?” or try (and fail) to remember the name of some professor mentioned in some newspaper; and the keen rationalism of the modern mind will accept every word you say.

G. K. Chesterton

If only the Chafetz Chaim had acted out some gemaros in dramatic fashion (such as כל הדר בחוצה לארץ דומה כמי שאין לו אלוה), we’d be in better shape.

Maybe if Pesachim 112a occurred today it would say:

אם בקשת ליחנק היתלה באילן קטן

Note: The “Shteinskybergerickitzoff” surname in the title is meant to be an agglomeration of Ashkenazic Jewish family name endings. Get it?
