    @yserbius123, your post is so full of lies, I don’t know where to begin.

    >The discussion about the flu was you comparing apples to oranges and accusing me of being as callous and uncaring as you are.<

    This is just words. In the whole thread you could not give a valid argument as to why the flu should be treated differently. You twisted yourself into a pretzel, even going as far as to claim you are ready to admit that you do not care about flu deaths if I admit that I do not care about Covid deaths.
    Calling them apples, oranges or bananas, is word game and does not change the facts.

    >The truth is, to protect others from the flu you don’t need to wear a mask all the time. <

    This is simply false. Masks do more to prevent the Flu than Covid.

    >You just have to be careful not to go out in public with a fever, or to be extra careful when the flu is going around.<

    What does “more careful” mean? Wouldn’t masks help at all?

    >Unfortunately, COVID is much more contagious so that’s not good enough. You have to wear a mask.<

    For the upteenth time at what point does “more” make a difference?

    >Your statement shows your true intentions. You are inconvenienced by being forced to wear a mask. Kal V’Chomer you are inconvenienced by lockdowns, no minyamin, washing hands, etc.<

    Elementary, my dear Watson, how on earth did you figure that out? Woe is to me, for I have been found guilty of being inconvenienced by wearing a face diaper, and losing a job!

    Seriously @yserbius123, what does my personal experience have to do with this argument?

    And finally:
    I absolutely did not agree with that statement
    There is no denying it. You do not want to “demand that people should mask to protect others” from the flu, therefore you agree with that statement and you are therefore, in your own words, pro-death.

    @yserbius123, I am truly shocked by your dishonesty. You agreed with with that statement! You agreed that masks should not be demanded for the flu even if it protects others! In fact you went so far as to say, and I quote:

    while every life is precious, there is a cheshbon to be made as to what an individual’s responsibility is in saving lives

    So you called me pro-death, a hater of medical professionals, an Am Ha’aretz, a cherry picker and a Chabadsker, all because of a quote that you agreed with!

    It is this kind of dishonesty in the name of science that breeds anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, and Dr. Fauci spews it anyway.

    Oh wait @yserbius123, before you go because I am “cherry picking one quote by Dr. Fauci”, I’ll give you another one:
    Dr. Fauci claimed that double masking is “common sense” a year into the pandemic. So for a full year Fauci had no common sense.

    How does this doctor still have any credibility?

    >CASE 1: assume you are one person (say an older one) with a vaccine in a group of unvaccinated (say, college or high-school students). Your chance of meeting a sick person is the same as before, but your risk ~ 10-20 lower than before the vaccine. If you remove mask and SD and start partying, you easily increase your risk back to the one that was before you had the vaccine.<

    No. Just no. Fauci does not get to spew nonsense because he went to medical school or saved lives. A lie is a lie even if it was the Evil Orange Man or the Saintly Old White Man who said it.

    @jackk, I find it pretty sad to hear you admit that christians put their religion first when voting, yet to jews like you the Torah is of no concern.

    emes-nisht-sheker started the Torah discussion, I thought you liked his thoughts.

    >It is what is the proper Torah view in light of the USA being a free and democratic country with a separation of church and state. It is a country which inherently allows you to practice your religion but does not force religious views on anyone. This is the opposite of the Torah view of the total and absolute authority of Chazal , Batei Din and the King.<

    You’re 100% right on that and nobody is forcing you how to believe or vote, however a discussion on how a Torah Jew should believe or vote is still valid and necessary.

    >Sunday preacher’s views on religion of who is going to olam habah are not our concern.<

    @jackk, I didn’t want to comment in this trolly thread, but I’d like to point that the Trump donation was given before the PA refused vaccines from Israel and the UAE. Now that it is crystal clear to all that the PA does not care about the health of the people it supposedly represents, Biden should not be showering it with cash.

    >It is absurd to consider that all that money goes to Hamas to kill Jews.<

    It definitely is absurd. However some of the money goes to education that glorifies Jihad.

    I think @Avi-K nailed it when he said “Anti-Semitism and philo-Semitism can be two sides of the same coin.”

    Anti-Semites and philo-Semites both hold stereotypes of the Jews, Anti-Semites holding negative ones and philo-Semites holding positive ones.
    (whether stereotypes can be good is another topic)

    So when anyone stereotypes Jews as Israelis, the question becomes; what are their views on Israel?
    Trump obviously holds positive views.
    Omar holds negative views.

    Or as @yserbius123 @commonsaychel and @thinkingcap put it:

    I think the answer has to be looked at on a case by case basis.

    I know it when I see it

    Usually the motivations behind the statements made can be clearly diciphered by knowing who is making the statement or the context.

    I’ll answer you with the question that is asked of anyone who criticizes Israel:
    Why do they care about the tiny Jewish State?

    In Ilhan Omar’s case: she is an anti-semite.
    In my case: I live in the tiny Jewish State.
