I wonder whether R’ Shteinman gave him a heter to disrespect R’ Yitzchak Yosef in public.
The fact that he has power to bless and curse does not justify the chilul Hashem he is making!
On the contrary, if he would like to continue possessing such power, he should reconsider the words that emanate from his mouth!!

I am disappointed with this rechilus article of YWN…
“Rav Amnon continued in an angry tone, making mention of Rishon L’Tzion HaGaon HaRav Yitzhak Yosef Shlita without using the title rav”

If you watch the actual context of the speech as linked by comment #14, you can see that he is referring to a young Rav Yitzchak Yosef, before he became a rav, which is why he doesn’t use the term “rav”. He did not say this to imply that he is not deserving of the title rav. Whether or not you agree or disagree with his statement is irrelevant – to twist his words out of context in order to make him sound like an extremist is assur. It’s an aveira of rechilus!! Shame on you, YWN-Israel Desk!

This guy doesn’t know when to just keep quiet and not further insult two of the great rabbonim of our time. He has long had a vendetta agaisnt the Yosef family but why now drag Rav Lau, shlita through the mud? Any attention given to him is a waste of time and only feeds his already exaggerated sense of self-importance.

I would respectfully ask YWN to report when Amnon Yitzhak gives up his iPhone. Hypocrite.

it’s not a simple issue. i was also disgusted to see the pope sitting between the two Rabbonim. But i once saw a picture of a choshuve rav in East Europe (forgot who) bowing before an archbishop. it’s safer to be criticized by Rav Amnon than by the PM.

A minority opinion as usual.
