Reb Eliezer: I essentially said that above when I referred to rabbonim coming before all.
All white males are bad, in left-wing counter-culture, Shnitzel. They attacked statues of Winston Churchill and even Abraham Lincoln last week in Europe.
It depends on the weather. The SCOTUS oftentimes invents its own “Oral Law” when it suits the liberal establishment they seek to serve. For example, nothing written in the Constitution remotely says or even implies abortion must be legal. (This is, but, one example of many available.) Nevertheless, when the left-wing “Justices” decided they wanted such a law, despite their not being elected to Congress which is constitutionally empowered to write laws, they simply decreed it by dreaming it up as Oral Law.
Justice Antonin Scalia warned about all this when he insisted upon strict constructionism, ruling based on the Constitution’s original meaning, rather than a so-called notion of an “everchanging Constitution” that allows every leftist judge to rule whatever he wants based on his feelings of what he dreams the Constitution should mean today, not what the authors of the Constitution (and statues, for that matter) intended when writing the laws.
besalel: The rate of criminal history among black males in the US is very significantly higher than your example figures.
Why are you rafting with Goyim?
SiM: The State of Israel is no better in legalizing and protecting these toeivaniks.
Where exactly are you going to go?
Why are you mishing Torah values into this monologue? This has absolutely nothing to do with Torah values. The Torah is absolutely positively non-egalitarian. Cohanim are on top of Leviim. Leviim come before Yisroelim. Rabbonim come on top of them all. Avodim (yes, the Torah permits avdos) come after them all. There’s a pecking order between Yehudim and nochrim too.
Noach Dear once ran in the Democrat primary for this same Congressional seat, after he was term limited from the city council (much as Deutsch is now) hoping to win on a split vote. I think another frum candidate also did a few years after Dear.
Rayshard Brooks grabbed a Taser gun from a policeman and attempted to shoot the officer with it. The Atlanta police officer shot him in response. Now the BLM rioting thugs burned down the store this happened in front of and are blaming police again for defending themselves from a violently attacking criminal.
This isn’t racism. This is the proper police response. But in order to appease the rioters, the Atlanta police chief was forced to resign, the police officer who defended himself was illegally fired and the DA is already promising the riotera to charge the officer before his upcoming primary election, and even the second officer at the scene who didn’t shoot in self-defense has been suspended in order to appease the mobs on the streets.
For the past 60 years, antisemitism has been strongest in the political left, universities, minorities groups, etc. While the right also has some elements of antisemitism, it is to a far far lesser degree than found in the left, Democrat Party, Labour and other leftist parties in Europe, such as the Greens, etc.
YY/GHD: You should be railing more loudly against the Democrat Party supported BLM protest/riots where Democrat politicians are permitting tens and tens of thousands of people to closely congregate for long periods of times, day after day seven days a week, for the past three weeks and still going strong.
That’s far far more harmful in spreading COVID-19 than a single Trump rally in Tulsa.
YY: Many Asians countries including China as well as other countries such as Iran etc. are grossly underreporting their COVID death rate. Some intentionally and others due to an inability to count them. As such the per capita death rate is higher in many other countries than in the US, even if not yet acknowledged.
sifsei: The Democrats want to split the frum vote into multiple districts, in order to dilute it, since they know we vote conservative and frequently Republican. And no New York Democrat congressman will want a strong right-wing voter base in his district. So he’ll work behind the scenes in Albany to insure that the frum vote is split into multiple districts.
Just as they’ve done after the previous census based redistricting in 2010, 2000, 1990, etc.
Deutsch’s problem is a) a lot of frum people are registered Republicans, and thus cannot vote for him in the Democrat primary and b) even if every frum registered voter was a registered Democrat, the Congressional district is majority black, with the frum community representing probably less than 20% of the district population.
In fact, unfortunately for the frum community, the frum neighborhoods are cut down the middle and split between Congressman Jerold Nadler’s district and Congresswoman Yvette Clarke’s district, hence splitting the community in two different Congressional districts.
Shnitzel: You haven’t addressed my response to you in Post #1871328.
som1: America elected a black President by a clear majority vote two consecutive times. Systematic racism doesn’t exist in America.
Charlie cries over the destruction of the Avoda Zora temples in Iraq while calling for the destruction of statues of white Americans.
Shnitzel: Do you carry your argument over to skinheads who whitewashed the Holocaust and believe their denials about its occurrence?
Are you sorry that ISIS destroyed the Avoda Zora temples from 2500 years ago in Iraq? You shouldn’t be.
Gender profiling of those Driving While Male (DWM) and age profiling of those Driving While Young (DWY) is far more systemic biased policy than any allegations about so-called DWB. Men are pulled over much more disproportionately as are those who are young.
But since there’s no political brownie points to be earned by left-wing politicians and media potato heads in pointing out the DWM and DWY realities, they rather try to stir race wars by focusing on race issues to maintain their ownership of the black vote.
Eliminating the state and local tax deduction would be the best outcome.
Is Deutsch going to announce he is a social conservative, opposed abortion, toeiva,etc., even if he’ll lose the non-frum vote?
AJ: If an at-large violent suspect or kidnapper being sought by the police has a known description of being a black male, 6 feet and 3 inches and between the age of 25 and 35, then there is no reason for officers to pull over females, people age 50 or older or whites.
Shnitzel: NY Democrats will lynch and expel any NY member of Congress who doesn’t clearly support abortion on demand. Just look at what the Democrats just did to Mark Yechiel Kalish in Chicago.
Fiscally, if he opposes funding of abortion or toeiva groups or toeiva “rights”, parades, cross gender restrooms, etc, when these issues come to vote in Congress, he’ll lose party support in the following primary.
And repealing SALT was the correct thing to do. It is also proper policy to crack down on illegal immigration.
Schnitzel: You have the right to have any opinion, however wrong it may be.
Do you believe it is sexist for police to suspect or stop men more than they suspect or stop women, when searching for suspects or looking for crimes in progress?
Do you believe it is ageist for police to suspect or stop young people more than they suspect or stop the old people, when searching for suspects or looking for crimes in progress?
Schnitzel:
“1. From 1865 to 2017, America didn’t consider the South treasonous.”
What’s your basis for this assetion. I dispute it.
3. The South had a right to leave an evolved system which they never signed up to.
What’s your basis for this? If Kiryas Yoel wants to secede from the US and take a democratic vote to secede from both NY and the US, you’d agree that the Republic of Kiryas Yoel legally exists? Of course not. It is illegal to secede from the US. Whether it is Virginia that did it then or if California or Kityas Yoel tried and declared independence now.
5. Lincoln was a war mongering President who had no right attacking the Southern states and killing millions of Americans to “preserve the Union”. (Fort Sumter was a Northern provocation. They had no right being in that area.)
False. If a country has a rebellion, the leaders of the country have both the right and obligation to suppress it with arms if necessary.
“8. Robert E Lee was always and still is considered at worst a great american personality and at best an American Hero. Some people don’t like the deification of the general, but there is no doubt that he represents more than just a slave owber fighting for his rights to own slaves.”
The Confederacy was treason against the United States.
And the primary motivation for the Confederacy to secede from the United States was to preserve slavery.
These thugs are already tearing down statues of Winston Churchill and Christopher Columbus.
Do police suspect or stop men more than they suspect or stop women, when searching for suspects or looking for crimes in progress?
Do police suspect or stop younger people more than they suspect or stop the elderly, when searching for suspects or looking for crimes in progress?
So why should anyone be surprised or care that police suspect or stop blacks more than they suspect or stop whites, when searching for suspects or looking for crimes in progress?
None of the above is sexist, ageist or racist.
lot112: What’s different in the 5 Towns now that they’re allowing Minyanim than two weeks ago on Shavuos when they didn’t allow them?
There’s very little anti-black racism in the police forces. Not much different, in fact, proportionally than anti-white racism.
But to whatever extent it exists, it isn’t racism per se. It is more anti-criminal. If criminals proportionally are much more likely to be male than female, police officers are much more likely to suspect males of crimes than they will suspect females. That does not make the police misandrist or anti-male. If criminals proportionally are much more likely to be black than white, police officers are much more likely to suspect blacks of crimes than they will suspect whites. That does not make the police racist. If criminals proportionally are much more likely to be younger than older, police officers are much more likely to suspect young people of crimes than they will suspect older people. That does not make the police ageist or anti-young.
What’s the likelihood of anyone other than the incumbent or Deutsch winning the primary? Very unlikely?
Now, if they replaced Western culture with (real) Jewish culture, that would be a great thing.
She resurfaced under a new moniker.
lot112: If there’s no vaccine or cure widely available before September, why would the 5 Towns permit Minyanim for the Yomim Norayim (with massive filled shuls) if they do not allow them altogether now?
What’s the difference between June and September.
Is the 5 Towns still holding form in prohibiting Minyanim?
There’s a missing post.
Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of antisemitism: gentile antisemitism and Jewish antisemitism.
The first type is the more common type that most people refer to when discussing this issue. It often, but far from always, involves violence or worse. More often it involves verbal violence without physical violence. And even more frequently is a simple old-fashioned hatred of Jews, simply because of jealousy or just because they’re Jewish.
Eisav Sonah L’Yaakov.
The second type, and what many of us Yidden run into more often than the first (simply because of our disengagement with Goyim as much as possible), is Jewish antisemitism. Some of these people even wear a Yarmulka and call themselves Orthodox. It can broadly be defined as hating those frummer (for lack of a better term) than oneself. Also out of jealousy, though they’ll never admit that reason and will attribute their hatred to a variety of other pretexts.
It’ll often play out in these Jewish antisemites denying the hated Yidden various benefits, privileges or rights. As well as deriding them amongst themselves and, even more prominently, to the outside/greater world. They’ll often derogatorily refer to them as “ultra” or “sects”.
This is found within Orthodoxy as well as outside of Orthodoxy, where very commonly non-Orthodox Jews engage in such behavior towards the Orthodox. Ironically, the left-wing in the Orthodox often try to convince these non-Orthodox Jews that they aren’t so ultra, and as such should be considered good, modern, with it, Americanized Jews just as the non-Orthodox. And will denigrate the hated “Ultras” in order to ingratiate themselves to these other Jewish antisemites.
YY: It’s too late. The census counts based on where you lived on April 1, 2020. Milhouse will have to wait another 10 years to implement your suggestion regarding apportionment.
Regarding voting, you can have dual residences and choose which one you wish to register to vote from. Even if it isn’t your primary residence, according to court precedent.
Dr. E: He thinks that if something is bdieved already, it makes no difference to add another bdieved on top of the bdieved?
lot112: And b’dieved, what’s okay?
Antifa has been violently attacking people and property for ten years already. They are definitely more than just a handful.
Charlie: You missed the point. I thought you were smarter than that. Replace the Nazi example with having a serious opinion about the Soviet Union, Communism and Stalin despite not living in the USSR and not knowing a word of Russian.
What’s this have to do with a backyard minyan? Often minyanim in shul, also, only have exactly 10 or 11 people davening in the Minyan.
The question would be the same then. And it is a rather common scenario. Nothing novel about the question.
Rational: Are you saying that anyone living outside Germany or not fluent in the German language was not entitled to have a serious opinion regarding the Nazis assuming power and enacting the Nuremberg Laws in 1935?
Baruch Hashem you’ve finally accepted the title Reb without protest.
Avi: Have your kids let you out of the house yet?
I think we ought to compromise. Neighborhoods that have a majority that support defending the police, should be designated as “No Police Zones”. Thereupon, no police officers or any other law enforcement officials shall be permitted to enter said zone. All conflicts within those neighborhoods will be left for them to resolve themselves. (May the strongest man win!)
Of course, for the safety of everyone else, those neighborhoods will be duly demarcated as lawless, so that law abiding citizens shall be cognizant not to enter.
Reb Wolf: As you haven’t responded to our Erev Shavuos conversation whereupon I referred you to a specific date of our communications via electronic mail, describing the nature of that eight year old conversation, based upon the principle of Shtika K’hodaah I believe we have mutually resolved our difference of memory in my favor.
chash: Today the WHO announced another reversal, in that asymptomatic people actively infected with the novel coronavirus only very rarely will transmit the virus on to other people. As such, masks on people with no symptoms is less important than thought prior to today.
Non-violent protesters who engage in civil disobedience, breaking the law by blocking vehicular traffic, streets or even congregating in protest without a permit and refuse to comply with a lawful order by law enforcement to disperse, should be arrested.
No more or less today than any other time, or any other groups, would similarly be arrested for illegally inhibiting law abiding citizens from going about their daily business driving, walking, etc.
There is a legal process to obtain a permit to protest by blocking public arenas. Doing so without authorization is illegal and would result in anarchy if any person or group could hijack the streets, at any time of their choosing. And the normal response to such law breaking, even if “merely” civil disobedience, has always been, and rightfully remains, to arrest those interfering with the public access without authorization.
Even the non-violent protesters at the BLM protests across the country should be arrested for engaging in civil disobedience when they block roads, streets or even congregate without a protest permit.
No less than if any other group, at other times, engage in an unauthorized protest blocking traffic, streets, etc.
There is far more anti-white racism in America than anti-black racism. Both in policy (i.e. affirmative action policies not only permitting but enforcing discrimination against whites) as well as in violence (i.e. violent anti-semitic attacks perpetrated by members of minority communities.)
