thecuriousone -“Health-
Again, I thought you were a bit smarter than this. She doesn’t need to preface every line she says in her book with “My opinion is…”
I am smart enough to see right through you and I know what your agenda is.
“That’s exactly what this book is about – her opinions.
Have you ever read a biography before? If not, I recommend you do.”
You seem to think that you can write a book, article or anything and can lie till your heart’s content without calling your work a fiction. You also have no problem when these lies put an individual, or like in this case, a whole group of people in a bad light. I don’t care if she actually called her book an autobiography, (she didn’t btw -she called it a memoir), this doesn’t give her the right to lie, even though we know it’s her “opinion”.
Obviously you don’t have a basic understanding what a lie is or what truth is. You’re actually the first person I’ve met like this.
I’ll give an example -the Gemara says to say a Kallah is beautiful when she’s not – is a lie. Even Bais Hillel doesn’t say it’s not a lie, just it’s Muttar to say anyway. Acc. to your corrupt way of thinking why is it a lie -it’s just their opinion? It’s still considered a lie because most opinions are not like this and consider her not to be beautiful. This case is much worse. It might be her opinion that is what Chinuch is, but since the Torah doesn’t define it the way she does -her sentence is a blatant lie!
“My agenda is to discover the truth. No different than yours. However, I am coming here without any opinions…just an open mind.”
Since you don’t know what a lie is -what I just quoted from you is a lie. How about opening your mind and learning what most people in this world know, even G. Washington, what a lie is and what truth is.
“I am not defending her…I am just questioning you and the other posters that come here and immediately spew vitrol towards her. Try to view her situation in a light of understanding, not with hatred and contempt.”
Saying you are not defending her is another lie. Any vitrol towards her is because of something called Motzay Shem Ra on her part. I’ll translate if you don’t speak Hebrew -lying to make a person or people look bad. Even the avg. Goy understands this concept – that’s why they have laws against libel and slander.
Since this trash book of lies is against a certain group, even if it would be true this would be called racism in our P.C. life in this country. The only reason why the publisher & the author are getting away with this racism because this country has a double standard between Jews and e/o else.
It reminds me of the folk song about hatred -how this group hates the other group, but the lyrics end -“and (or but) everybody hates the Jews”!
