In the Arab world, and in the Muslim world,
when a man wants to attack and discredit his political opponent,
he accuses his political opponent of being a Jew.

Or even worse, he accuses his political opponent of being a spy for Israel.

The Jews in Iran CANNOT LEAVE IRAN.

ANY Jew in Iran can be accused of being a spy-for-Israel at ANY time,
even with no evidence.

And once that accusation is made, it will certainly result in:
imprisonment, confiscation of all money and assets, torture, and public execution.

Hassidim Who Placed Newspaper Ad Attacking Zionism Forbidden to Enter Synagogue

Twenty young followers of the Satmar Rebbe have been forbidden to enter the Satmar synagogue, Congregation Yetev Lev, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as punishment for placing an advertisement in the New York Times two weeks ago calling Zionism “the greatest enemy” of the Jewish people, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency learned today.

The names of the young Hassidim were posted in the synagogue on Sunday following an investigation ordered by the Satmar Rebbe. The 20 young Jews were found to have been responsible for preparing and placing the advertisement and with raising funds to pay for it. One of the 20 came to services Saturday and the reader refused to proceed with services until the youth left. When he refused to leave, he was carried out bodily, the JTA was informed. The suspension will stand until the youths formally repent of their action to officials of the synagogue.’

============================
If you listen to the Neturei Karta, they will tell you that:
“before Zionism, Jews and Muslims got-along just fine.”

This is NOT TRUE!!!
Not only is it not true, it is not even half-true.
Not only is it not true, it is not even close to the truth.
Not only is it not true, it is the opposite of the truth.

Before Zionism, Jews were persecuted by Muslims at all times.
Before Zionism, Jews were persecuted by Muslims
for 1,300 years — or if you prefer, for 13 centuries.

Jews were forced to pay special taxes to Muslims.
Taxes that were intended to force Jews into poverty,
not just provide income for the government.

ANY synagogue could become a mosque at ANY time.

Jews were often beaten and killed.

Jews were often forced to convert to Islam.
Even in the 1950s, in Yemen,
50,000 Jews were forced to convert to Islam.

Jewish orphans were often converted to Islam,
unless some Jew would adopt them,
or take them into an orphanage.

Jews were subjected to special laws intended
to humiliate them, and make life difficult for them.

In the 1980s, Rabbi Zevulun Lieberman
(of blessed memory, a former YU professor
and Orthodox synagogue Rabbi in NYC) once gave
a public lecture about the history of Syrian Jews.
I attended that lecture, and I remember his exact words.

Rabbi Zevulun Lieberman publicly taught that:
“From the time that Syria became a Muslim country,
the Jews of Syria did not have even one happy day.”

In the 1800s, there was a false blood libel against the Jews of Syria.

For decades after the Holocaust,
Syria was a haven for convicted Nazi-war-criminals.
Not only were the convicted Nazi-war-criminals tolerated,
but they were promoted to high government positions.

For decades in Syria, Jewish children as young
as six-years-old were tortured-to-death by
government security agents,
while the Leftist news-media ignored it.

============================
Rabbi Ovadiah of Bartenura said this,
in a letter to his father in year 1488 August 15:

“Jews in Muslim lands make themselves appear poor.
They go about like an impoverished, despised people,
with their heads bowed before Muslims.”

============================
The next time someone tries to tell you that:
“before Zionism, Jews and Muslims got-along just fine”,
do not believe it, because it is not true;
do not believe it, because it is not even half-true;
do not believe it, because it is not even close to the truth;
do not believe it, because it is the opposite of the truth.

Since I am not a Navi, I cannot know for sure how to answer this question.
But I do believe that I can make some good guesses that might be true.

We have lots of Torah being learned, but we also have very little unity.

Midrash Tanchuma, Parshat Nitzabim, end of chapter 1:
“The Jews will not be redeemed until they unite as one … ”

We have lots of Torah being learned, but we also have very little judging each other favorably.

We have lots of Torah being learned, but we also have lots of speaking Lashon HaRa, lots of listening to Lashon HaRa, and lots of believing Lashon HaRa — all are forbidden by the Torah.

We have lots of Torah being learned, but we also have lots of money being spent on blatant gashmius. Around 2 or 3 three years ago, I went into a kosher store to get empty boxes.
This store is in a very Chareidi area. Almost all of the customers are Orthodox Jews.
I discovered that just ONE bottle of kosher liquor was selling for up to $500.

Even with all our successful people, there are still people who are left-behind and forgotten.

We have lots of Torah being learned, but we also have lots of people who either don’t care about anyone except themselves, or don’t care about anyone except themselves and their own children and grandchildren.

I could continue, but think that I have said enough.

Yes, it was odd to see it follow a complaint that we don’t judge others favorably.

“All fifty [50] states permit keeping firearms at home.

Even the City of New York, probably the least permissive
firearms jurisdiction in America, permits the ownership
of loaded long rifles and shotguns, and a twelve-gauge
shotgun with an eighteen-inch barrel is not only suitable
for home protection, but specifically designed for it.”

“American and Israeli Jews are not much different
on matters of relative income, class, religion,
national origin, or political leanings.

The singular distinction between them is that
when the chips are down, Israelis are prepared
to fight those who would annihilate them;
from all indications, their American cousins
are prepared to be annihilated.”

“Schoolyard bullying is part of school life,
and no matter the target, he or she is always
picked on for the same reason: perceived weakness.

When this perception is shared by others in the peer group,
we are looking not at a one-on-one situation,
but a situation of all-against-one.

Thus, the most efficient way of preventing the latter is to forestall the former.
A Jewish child’s best defense against group violence
is going on the offensive against at least one member
of the group. How? By learning to fight, early and well.

Anti-Semites of any age do not mess with
the Wrong Jew, the one who is capable of
inflicting pain and humiliation on his would-be assailants.”

The phrase דעת תורה is not mentioned in Tanach, Mishnah, or Jerusalem Talmud.

However, דעת תורה is mentioned one time in the Babylonian Talmud,
and three times in Rashi’s commentary on the Babylonian Talmud.

Matti Friedman (former Associated Press news reporter) said:

“The big players in the news business practice groupthink…”
………………………………
“Many of the people deciding what you
will read and see from here [Israel] view
their role not as explanatory but as political.

Coverage is a weapon to be placed at the disposal of the side they like.”

SUMMARY: This article exposes intentional anti-Israel bias in the news media.
It is still VERY relevant, even though it was written in 2014.

Eric Starkman (a Los Angeles-based writer and journalist) said:

“The mainstream media has abandoned all pretense of objectivity.

Whereas in the past journalists viewed themselves as unbiased chroniclers of the news, their focus today is on manufacturing it and dominating the ensuing conversations.

A journalist’s influence today isn’t determined by the quality or accuracy of their reporting, but rather the size of their Twitter following and the frequency of their television appearances.”

Every time you attack “The Zionists”, the
ONLY thing you accomplish is making Jews HATE you.

(As if there were not already enough hate between Jews.)

But don’t listen to me. Just continue to attack “The Zionists”
at every possible opportunity, again and again and again and
again and again and again and again and again and again and
again and again and again and again and again and again.

Don’t worry about about increasing hate between Jews,
because that is NEVER a problem.

Last but not least, NEVER make a distinction between
Secular Zionists who are traif-eating atheists, and
Religious Zionists who observe: Shabbat, kashrut, tzitzit,
tefillin, daily tefilah with Orthodox minyanim, shaatnez, etc.

Instead, you should continue to assume that ALL Zionists
are exactly the same, whether they are Secular or Religious.

Whether the money came from the USA or whether the money came from unfreezing Iranian assets, the bottom line is that Iran has BILLIONS OF DOLLARS more than it have ten days ago, and where it came from is a theoretical distinction without a practical difference.

The halachot of Pidyon Shevuyim teach that it is wrong to pay excessive ransom, because this gives the kidnappers an incentive to kidnap more people, and hold them hostage for ransom again. ONE BILLION DOLLARS per-person is obviously excessive ransom.

Which is in addition to the fact that a similar number of Iranian prisoners were freed.

“…leading members of the Democratic Party like Keith Ellison and luminaries like Linda Sarsour openly espouse anti-Jewish sentiments and propagate anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, Democrats ignore, whitewash, deny and minimize the significance of the swelling chorus of anti-Semitism within their ranks.”

“Children are more likely to experience behavioral issues if parents divorce when the child is between the ages of seven and 14.”

“Children with divorced parents are twice as likely to attempt suicide.”

“Children with divorced parents are four times as likely to have trouble fitting in.”

“Teenagers whose parents divorce are more likely to experience mental health issues.”

“70% of prison inmates incarcerated for long-term sentences grew up in broken homes”

“Children are at a greater risk of living in poverty if their parents get a divorce.”

“Children with divorced parents are twice as likely to drop out of high school.”

CS said: “Yes the Alter Rebbes Neshama almost escaped his body…”

No offense intended, sir, but what evidence do you have that this actually happened?

Murderous hate against ALL Jews is taught in schools run by:
The “Palestinian Authority” and Hamas in Gaza, and Jordan, Iran, and most Arab nations.

Every year, many millions of Arab children are taught to hate AND KILL ALL JEWS.

This hate starts as-early-as-possible, at the age of what Americans call “Kindergarten”.
This anti-Jewish hate “education” is taught every year, until students graduate from school.

One typical example:
If there are 25 Jews in a bus, and Achmed kills 10 of them, how many Jews are left alive?

This anti-Jewish hate is also taught by Arab television programs specifically aimed children.

Children as young as 4 or 5 years old are taught that:
“Jews stole Palestine, and the only solution is to kill them all.”
These lessons come from the Arab equivalent of Sesame Street or Disney characters.

Please note that Arab children are taught to hate-and-kill *** ALL *** Jews, even those Jews who are non-Zionist, even those Jews who are anti-Zionist. They make no distinction between Secular Jews and Chareidi Jews. They make no distinction between religious and non-religious.

In conclusion, it is not enough to sue individual Arab terrorists.
We must also sue the schools and television programs that teach hate to Arab children.

We must also sue the”Palestinian Authority” which PAYS people who KILL JEWS.
(This is known as the infamous “pay-for-slay” program.)

Rabbi Yochanan (tractate Sanhedrin, page 17A) taught that:
The members of Sanhedrin must know all 70 languages.

PS: The study of languages is SECULAR STUDIES.

When people see that Chareidi Jews are not able to spell words correctly, does that make people think better of religious Jews, or does that make people think worse of religious Jews?

When people see that Chareidi Jews are not able to spell words correctly, is that a Kiddush HaShem, or is that the opposite of Kiddush HaShem?

Nobody believes that Harry Potter is real.

Months ago, I made a long list of similarities between Chabad and “Jews for Cheeses”.

Unfortunately, that list of similarities was deleted by moderators.

Can you figure out what are the similarities between Chabad and “Jews for Cheeses”?

Why does the Coffee Room tolerate crazy people who believe in a Melech HaMashiach who died without rebuilding The Temple [Beth HaMikdash], and without ending the exile [galut], and without defeating the enemies of the Jewish People?

If you want to know who founded Modern Orthodoxy, then I suggest that you read the biographies of Rabbi Shimshon Rafael Hirsch.
Here are a few quotes from one of his biographies:

=================================
Behold! G_d speaks to you through nature, and again through history!…

Rabbi Hirsch’s positive view of the study of secular
subjects was not limited to science and history.

=================================
“The girls in the [Orthodox] Realschule [which was founded and directed by Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch] studied the same subjects, including Chumash and Hebrew grammar, as the boys, except for Talmud and mathematics, in place of which they were taught handicrafts.”

=================================
“Rabbi Hirsch preferred honest Gentile teachers for secular subjects over non-observant Jews, who he felt would have a negative influence.”

year 1996 CE, ArtScroll History Series, Brooklyn 11232, ISBN 0-89906-632-1.

=================================
In [year] 1888 [CE], the Prussian government issued a decree requiring all students to take standardized examinations, which were to be administered on the Sabbath.

No special dispensation was granted to Jewish students to take the exam on a different day.

Rabbi Hirsch authored a petition to the Prussian Minister of Education Gossler, signed by 115 Rabbis from all of Germany, stating that all writing on the Sabbath was prohibited by Jewish law…soon before his passing Rabbi Hirsch received a reply from the Minister of Education assuring him that school principals would be permitted to “judge sympathetically” requests to defer the examination to a weekday.

=================================
Rabbi Shmuel Landau, the son of [the author of] Noda BeYehudah and his successor as Rabbi of Prague, also expressed his approbation for [secular] studies directly related to earning a living:

“[One should] learn German thoroughly, as well as other required subjects, because without German, including written German, it is impossible to survive in these countries.

Someone who does not read and write German cannot succeed in any trade, and every father has an obligation to teach his son the language and customs of the country in which he lives…”
