Suspected that as usual it would have been an israeli

someone please explain

By that standard, Rav Ovadia’s enemies at the degenerate New York Post have signaled that this Gaon and Tzaddik has earned a very exalted postion, indeed.

Our true enemy is not the corrupt culture we inhabit; it is needless disunity and ill will, fostered and exacerbated by other Yidden who confidently make snap judgments about others’ deficiencies, usually without knowing much or anything about the object of their vitriol, and invariably professing sadness about yenem’s confusion, just as you did. If you truly are here to help, then first focus on Sur Me’roh — stop this knee-jerk needless demeaning of your fellow Yid. Then you can focus on the Aseh Tov.

Dear Editor
I am a long time subscriber to your newspaper but after reading your article which mentions death of the esteemed Hacham Ovadia Yosef A’H, I now feel I must cancel my subscription to your paper. Your blatant disrespect for a man that was revered by millions of people across the world is uncalled for. The only thing your article does in incites hatred of the Jewish people. How about some respect for the dead? When Pope John Paul died you ran a week’s worth of special pullout sections in tribute to him. Nowhere in those collectors’ editions did it say a word about how the church covered up the many sex scandals that hurt hundreds if not thousands of young kids throughout the world. Yet in the case of Hacham Ovadia A’H, all you choose to write about was negative. He may have said some controversial things in the past, (a lot of which was taken out of context) but that’s no reason to solely focus on that and not mention a word about all the good that he did in his lifetime. He couldn’t have been that bad of a person if the people who he criticized were among the ones sending heartfelt condolence messages.
