For once I actually agree with Dr. Hall; however, I am suspicious of his refutation. Mr. Gestetner seems like an arrogant and incompetent individual who needs to do some homework before he blows his horn. His comment about the heroes of the holocaust underlined his inept understanding of history and facts. Where in Jewish history (out of Israel) do we see an uprising in the levels of the Warsaw Ghetto? Additionally, it is documented everywhere. One must be blind, literally, to miss it.
I believe that Mr. Gestetner’s comments were offending to me and many in the Jewish community and he needs to apologize. I wouldn’t bother with every individual making an offensive comment, but being that he has a following in the Hasidic community with an influence on those without means to news other that the phone hotlines and newspapers he contributes to, I am bothered by it. I understand that Mr. Gestetner wants an Al Sharpton in our midst, but we say: thanks but no thanks!
As to Charlie, I really question your sincerity here. I wonder if it was a liberal, how you would react.
