As you all make your point about wether or not to agree with what other people have posted remember that a fellow Jewish brother was murdered and we have no right to judge him or his action and that we have a bigger battle to fight. The New York Post gave themeselves a saleable headline regardless of the cost to anyone else they only saw and heard dollar signs. With that in mind lets try to give nechama to the grieving family and help each other against the evil that we face each day.

Rachmana Litzlan!! Gevalt!! What does such an author want to do? Encourage people to think that frum Jews are all paranoid?? If the victim had been of another group in NY, would askanim have run to condemn the paper? The paper is made to make money! What do people expect, that a newspaper is expected to adhere to the Torah laws of loshen horah? Or check with a local posek before printing a story emitting from an unusual community where crime is almost non-existent? For heaven’s sake, COOL OFF THE PARANOIA or we are likely to face real problems. And if the askanim are really upset, so TAKE THEM TO COURT FOR LIBEL! Besides, where there is smoke there is fire, and as far as the media is concerned frum Jews do not deserve more slack than anyone else!

I am pretty sure R Lipshitz is seriously misguided in his op ed that is basically comparing Nazi Germany to the NY Post fiasco. We live in a country that allows us to practice our religion freely, shuls , Yeshivois are given protection and we are afforded every right that any Citizen is afforded. In addition to that we have Jewish Politicians that are voted in to high office positions. Yet when a rag paper makes insensitive headlines we are forced to believe that we will all be thrown into the Gas Chambers R”L. Its absurd. That rag paper has ridiculed everyone they deem necessary, from Priests, to Celebrities to regular folks. Its what they do. If the headline would have screamed, Who Didn’t want the Jew dead? Or who didn’t want the Hasid dead? Granted, his argument would be warranted. But that was not the case. In a nutshell , I think his comparison minimizes the real persecution we experienced throughout the ages. For shame

my main point be careful before you label a paper antisemitic.

The post has a long history of insensitive headline yes of other people who where brutally murdered do a simple search.

nobody cared when they had other headlines that put people in a very bad light or made even fun of a murder victim.

To compare it to Nazi Germany is insane and diminishes the horrors of that time

It seems that Peakman is the same individual who posts as sheepsheadbayyid or shredready on other sites.

His posts are not more intelligible there. Nor are they more truthful.

if they are intelligible how do you know they are not truthful

which is it it cannot be both

what is not truthful show me one case when the frum media or the frum felt condemned a frum scammer. One or two would be enough. someone who only stole from yiddin does not count.

your argument is the same as Catholics when the post splashes a story about priest doing bad things.

the post is anti Catholic and so on instead of dealing with the issue at hand

some pple commenting here reflect a VIN attitude. Lets keep these comments sympathetic, yiddish, believing and wholesome. Those that want to be mekalkel our hashkafos and become politically correct, loving to find suspicion instead of seeing the good and lekaf zechus, are jealous and hateful don’t belong commenting on a frum website like this. Go back to VIN.

You should not even imply that someone isn’t ehrlich until you understand his business.

Tell me, who else got this kind of treatment by the Post, justifying his murderers? Can you even begin to compare?

I am not congratulating Yated – not even complimenting them. It’s true that the NY Post is a vulgar newspaper and has been for many years, but it’s not antisemitic. We live in the age of the Internet and we can verify or disprove a lot of what is reported and we can even determine where the NY Post got its information from. We have tools that allow us to go back in history and see what was posted about a person years ago even if the page has been updated since. Do your own analysis.
