“The people that came did it voluntary, there wss no mashgiach from any mosad or shul to check if anybody was there, there’s no way to sift thru 60,000 people, so the lie of being “pressured’ to come is void and null, the emotions on most atendees was very obvious, and the results of this massive kinus leshaim shomayim is bringing unbelievable results at an unexpected scale.”
Guter Yid – You may want your comment to be true and that’s very idealistic, but that doesn’t make your statement any less false. The definition of intellectual dishonesty is – when one avoids an honest, deliberate and comprehensive approach to a matter because it may introduce an adverse effect on personally and professionally held views and beliefs.
1) It was very well publicized both before and after the event that immense pressure was being exerted on people to attend and purchase tickets through shuls and schools and as many people arrived on buses chartered through these institutions it’s quite easy to determine who showed up and who stayed home. I’ve run massive, large scale events, tickets don’t sell out in a week without an outside influence. People are way too busy and overscheduled to drop everything on a moments notice.
2) Was it 50,000 or 60,000? Even the numbers that I see don’t jive….and an additional 10,000 is a pretty big whopper.
3) How can you possibly know what the results are? Did you take a post asifa survey? Did you factor in the people who walked away disgusted and disillusioned, the negative mainstream press, as well as those who bought filters (is a filter a benchmark of success? Again you may want to believe that the results were “unbelievable” and on an “unexpected scale”, but you can’t back that up with facts, because the data to prove that doesn’t exist.
