I stand behind what I said.
To boycott firms that go out of their way to accommodate us is just beyond the pale.
Those multinationals will make up for the piddling lost sales with one or two events like the royal wedding. We need their willingness to accept hechsherim if we want to enjoy scotch. As you see from the letter from Pernod Ricard (which has a whole host of kosher products, including the flagship Pernod anise mashke that went kosher within the last 10 years as well), these whiskys have little connection with the West Dumbbelton nonsense.
You do not support anti-Semites by buying Scotch distilled by multinationals. You support firms that produce kosher certified products that otherwise would be hard to purchase because of all the issues involved. If Rav Landa approves Chivas as I believe he does, he knows that it is as kosher as water from the deepest spring.
The highly skilled employees who deal with scotch are craftsmen who don’t know or care where Israel is on a map, because scotch making, like wine making in France, is an obsession that is handed down from generation to generation. If anything some are evangelical notzrim who support us.
And I cannot call a Zionist blogger who hides behind a silly Arabic name (meaning handsome/righteous IIRC LOL) anything but strange.
The real religious Zionists, like Moshe Feiglin and Baruch Marzel, and Rav Dov Lior, fear nothing and don’t hide. I don’t agree with their basic premise but who can help but respect them. I can’t even read the silly Muqata blog; it is in my filter and has been for as long as I’ve had a filter.
If I were “Jameel Rasheed”, I would worry more about answering in the world to come for causing trouble for innocent businessmen and not even having the guts to use my real name than for my children’s shidduchim. And I have never seen such a dumb threat; a nameless blogger taking someone to beis din LOLOLOLOL over another nameless commentor’s comments LOLOLOLOLOL.
