Doswin: I clearly stated I DON’T believe it. I said I don’t know what to believe. There are definitely cover-ups, and who knows what they do? All I said is that the “evidence” presented by the Jewish Week was not very good. It went like this:
Accusation: There was a cover-up of a murder. People lied to the police, and the murder was never discovered.
Investigation: We spoke to the police, and the official paperwork says it was a suicide. Therefore the accusation was wrong.
It doesn’t make sense – the accusation was that the paperwork was wrong! Using the paperwork as “evidence” does not refute anything.
Like I said, I’m not saying one is true and one is not. I don’t know which is right and which is wrong. I’m just pointing out that this “investigation” was not very good, and the “evidence” is not very good. That doesn’t mean what was written in the book was correct. It just means the refutation wasn’t.
I’m definitely NOT anti-frum. I just don’t like when people reach for things so they will fit what they want to hear and believe. That’s what’s going on here. People are so eager to condemn this author that they will jump on “evidence” like this, even when it clearly makes no sense.
