Zdad: I didn’t say, anti-semitism, but definitely against our way of life. If Bloomberg decides to outlaw kashering meat because the salting process increases our sodium intake, would you mind or say he has our best interests at heart? Where do you draw the line? This is when we say we don’t need your sting or your honey. It’s more insidious, but I question the motives.
However, my beef (pardon the pun) is not with the guys “desperate” to shop, but with the city for FILING AN UNFOUNDED LAWSUIT — which is harassment in my book — so your analogies are incorrect.
And you could use some Jewish pride. I’ve been to Harrods — and it’s an opulent dept. Store. If their dress code were to stem from the owners’ Muslim beliefs would you still be gushing about it or would its high-class status be irrelevant? Sorry, but we are bnei melachim and Hashem prefers a modest (in both senses) Williamsburg store on Lee Ave to a glitzy one where he is not acknowledged. And we have the right to uphold His royal banner, laugh all you want.
