Even the Republicans who voted not to confirm, voiced support for his intellect and legal scholarship but indicated that their votes were more “political” and were meant to protest new administration policies.
>He will speak out against anti-semitism not like Trump who made it look like he encourages it.<
Nothing makes it look like you encourage anti-semitism more than having jewish grandchildren and supporting the jewish state.
Reb E, please deal with reality, for frum people the DOJ under Trump was the most frum friendly ever.
For religious assemblies, both small and large, having a place to gather for worship and carry out other religious activities is fundamental.
The land use provisions of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), enacted in 2000, are designed to protect the basic right to buy, rent, and use land for worship and religious exercise.
On June 13, 2018, the Attorney General announced the Place to Worship Initiative. The goal of the Initiative is to increase enforcement and public awareness of the land use provisions of RLUIPA. These provisions protect places of worship and other religious uses of property (including religious schools and religious social service providers) in the zoning and landmarking process from actions by local governments that:
Place unjustifiable burdens on religious exercise;
Treat religious assemblies and institutions worse than nonreligious assemblies and institutions;
Discriminate against religious assemblies or institutions based on religion or religious denomination; or
Totally or unreasonably exclude religious assemblies and institutions from a particular municipality or county.
The Initiative seeks to increase the Department’s enforcement of RLUIPA, and educate religious leaders, county and municipal officials, and the general public about RLUIPA.Edited
The white nationalist are encouraged in their anti-semitism by Trump not ckearly condemning their behavior, inciting their insurrection on the Capitol and has nothing to do with his grandchildren and Israel.
>The white nationalist are encouraged in their anti-semitism by Trump not clearly condemning their behavior,<
Trump could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue, shoot a Nazi and still not lose any haters.
> inciting their insurrection on the Capitol and has nothing to do with his grandchildren and Israel.<
The insurrection on the Capitol and had nothing to do with white nationalism.
@Reb E how do you reconcile the facts listed above of a very pro Jewish Pro Frum DOJ with your perception that Trump encouraged anti-Semitism other then the lame statement that nationalist stormed that Capitol?
PS there were a few Yidden in the crowd in the Capitol as welli’m still trying to figure out why jake tapper is on yw under a fake name as jack.
A medical observation: there are several esteemed CR mebers who have enormous erudition and chesed in some aspects – some in Midrashim, others in Science, but then fall to pretty generic unsupported statements when Pres Trump’s shadow appears in the topic. We should stop worrying about long COVID and start worrying about, lo aleinu, long TDS. Refuah Shleimah.
“Nothing makes it look like you encourage anti-semitism more than having jewish grandchildren and supporting the jewish state.”
Both Trump and Biden have Jewish grandchildren. Trump spouts old anti-Semitic Jewish memes that he clearly believes, even though he doesn’t seem to personally hate Jews. But Mussolini didn’t personally hate Jews, either. Trump also says nice things about anti-Semites, and even lies about them at times, such as when he claimed that he didn’t know who David Duke is. Biden doesn’t spout anti-Semitic memes, period.
“For religious assemblies, both small and large, having a place to gather for worship and carry out other religious activities is fundamental.”
That acutally isn’t true al pi halachah.
“your perception that Trump encouraged anti-Semitism”
Trump definitely encouraged anti-Semitism. That is not my perception, that is fact.
He endorsed a neo-Nazi, Paul Nehlen, in a congressional primary. That even a single Jew could support Trump after that shows that Trump Jews have interests other than those of the Jewish people as primary.
He came before the Republican Jewish Coalition and spouted meme after meme. Quotes: “Is there anybody that doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room? This room negotiates them – perhaps more than any other room I’ve ever spoken in.” and “You’re not gonna support me because I don’t want your money. You want to control your politicians, that’s fine.” At a later Republican Jewish Coaltion event he would refer to Benjamin Netanyahu as “your prime minister”. (Well I wish we did have Netanyahu as the US head of government rather than Trump, as Netanyahu has about 40 more IQ points and did a great job on COVID-19, unlike the venal Trump.} These are exactly the same memes for which Ilhan Omar correctly gets called out for anti-Semitism. Anyone calling out Omar but supporting Trump is a hypocrite whose interest is other than fighting anti-Semitism.
Trump said that “very fine people” marched with Nazis in Charlottesville. Absolutely no excuse for that. Unequivocably condemning Nazis should be the easist political position to take, but Trump had to make it like he was looking to get supporters on both sides. (Note that both David Duke and Louis Farrakhan had supported Trump in 2016. Three hatemongers — all birds of a feather.)
Trump isn’t the kind of anti-Semite who would ever shoot up a synagogue. No Trump supporter has ever done that. But he is the kind of anti-Semite who fans the flames of hate, including anti-Semitism, and that is what most of Europe was like in the 19th century. The 20th century followed.
🙁charlie >>Well I wish we did have Netanyahu as the US head of government
Charlie, you understand, of course, that were you to live in Israel and have similar political views to the ones you have now – you would be cursing Bibi left and right and explaining why he did not do anything to get vaccines, they appeared by themselves. Maybe thinking this over could make you think about hidden biases that diminish our thinking abilities.
Charlie – why do you fear anti semitism? I am confused about why you speak in trepidation about jews being physically at risk and yet you tout and support a movement that put jews and judaism at spiritual tisk. Don’t you realize that it is you who is more dangerous?
@Charlie Hall “That acutally isn’t true al pi halachah.”
For a guy who’s so called Rabbi ordains women I would hardly take anything you say at face value when you say its not al pi halachah.
Anyway what happened to dina demalchosa that you always quote>He endorsed a neo-Nazi, Paul Nehlen, in a congressional primary. That even a single Jew could support Trump after that shows that Trump Jews have interests other than those of the Jewish people as primary.<
Biden restarted funding for the PA that funds the families of terrorist who killed jews. That even a single Jew could support Biden after that shows that Biden Jews have interests other than those of the Jewish people and the jewish state as primary.
(I don’t believe the above comment, but you should)>Trump said that “very fine people” marched with Nazis in Charlottesville.<
There were normal people who opposed the removing of a statue in their town.
Should the fact that Neo-Nazi’s opposed it too make them not oppose it? I don’t understand why.>Unequivocably condemning Nazis should be the easist political position to take<
Should he have said something like “the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists. They should be condemned totally.”?
>Note that both David Duke and Louis Farrakhan had supported Trump in 2016. Three hatemongers — all birds of a feather.<
Do you agree with every Biden supporter? Do you think he is comparable to them?
Look @charliehall, I know you fear the Alt-right, we all do.
But most sane people fear the extreme left more and for a good reason:
The left is stronger and is growing with alarming speed.>Well I wish we did have Netanyahu as the US head of government rather than Trump, as Netanyahu has about 40 more IQ points and did a great job on COVID-19, unlike the venal Trump.<
I wish you did have him on Covid and he left us alone.
Israel’s Covid strategy – besides the vaccines which he deserves credit for – was simply put; horrible.
In Israel masks are still mandatory for no reason at all.I don’t understand the comments saying merrick garland will stop anti Semitism when there was a basketball player that said anti Semitic statements and garland didn’t do anything (granted the nba did, but the statement above was about garland)
>> Israel’s Covid strategy – besides the vaccines which he deserves credit for – was simply put;
So, for those in US who feel slighted that Americans did not give Trump credit for vaccines, here is Bibi who vaccinated more than anyone in the world short of a Rock of Gibraltar – still not good enough for Israelis…
>So, for those in US who feel slighted that Americans did not give Trump credit for vaccines, here is Bibi who vaccinated more than anyone in the world short of a Rock of Gibraltar – still not good enough for Israelis…<
Did you actually read my post?
Bibi turned into a dictator over Covid, his restrictions were worse than Cuomo’s. The guy still has the chutzpa to threaten us with more lockdowns.
MadeAliyah – I understood exactly what you are saying. And I am pointing out your lack of appreciation. Whole world has 10-20% of the country vaccinated, where Israel is alsmot fully vaccinated. No, you are inconvenienced by lockdowns.
>MadeAliyah – I understood exactly what you are saying. And I am pointing out your lack of appreciation. Whole world has 10-20% of the country vaccinated, where Israel is alsmot fully vaccinated. No, you are inconvenienced by lockdowns.<
I, among many others, lost a job thanks to his terrible policies. So please excuse my lack of overwhelming gratitude for this ‘helicopter prime minister’.
Always ask questions,
Florida didn’t lock down as much as New York (to put it lightly) yet have less deaths
Sweden didn’t lock down and their deaths didn’t skyrocket
Wow charlie, you are really gutsy, going back to the Charlottesville Lie as bold faced as you just did? Wow…
TVOP -“Wow charlie, you are really gutsy, going back to the Charlottesville Lie as bold faced as you just did? Wow…”
Why Not?
When your values and politics don’t jive with the Truth, you can always get your point across by Lying!>> I, among many others, lost a job thanks to his terrible policies.
I don’t want to take your suffering likely, but the whole world is suffering. Israeli GDP for 2020 is -6% on par with other developed countries (Norway -3, Poland/US/Finland -4, Sweden/Turkey -5, Germany -6, UK/France/Italy/Greece -10, Spain -12). Given Israeli international connections, it is not bad.
2021 IMF forecast for Israel is +5, getting back to where you were. Out of all countries listed above, seems like only Poland will be +1 after 2 years. A couple of countries Norway, Turkey will be at 0, US and many others at -1. Those who were -10 in 2020, will be -3 to -5 after 2 years …
I know the numbers do not bring you food immediately and there are might be various social factors that can make life difficult, not reflected in GDP, but still you can see that Bibi did not mismanage the economy.
coffee >> Sweden didn’t lock down and their deaths didn’t skyrocket
Sweden indeed has indeed death rate average per EU, a but also GDP decrease 5%, so their slow down is a little more than US. As you say in other threads “you have to be there” to analyze specific policies. for example, Swedish secondary class has 22 students, Israeli – 28. Israeli area per student seems to be also 50% less.
the “chuvever” Mr. Garland, from Chicago and einikle of a litvak was just put thru the grinder bythe Senate for his memo calling parents who disagreed with a school board terrorist
he did today
Oh Jackk -“At least he doesn’t consistently commit perjury like the last AG.”
I listened to the video on YWN.
All he kept doing was denying his memo.
My question is – when Cotton brought up the letter from some AG that we should prosecute Parents for Domestic Terrorism, if that wasn’t from Garland, Garland should have immediately Fired him and possibly prosecuted him for Violating the First amendment.So now we have another First AG who’s going after people for Not going with the DemonCrat flow of sick Liberalism!
Because this all started with No Gender Separation, where a young Girl was Raped in a bathroom by a Trans. in Virginia.
Only the LGBT++ have rights, no one else, in the New Woke US of A!Oh Jackk -” he tried to sidetrack him about a document written by someone else. That’s definitely a sign that you have nothing.”
What you don’t understand or what you are trying to manipulate e/o here is very simple.
That document was from a US Attorney.
I’ll repeat it -” when Cotton brought up the letter from some AG that we should prosecute Parents for Domestic Terrorism, if that wasn’t from Garland, Garland should have immediately Fired him and possibly prosecuted him for Violating the First amendment.”Anyone with a brain knows a US Attorney doesn’t do anything if it isn’t sanctioned from above. That means it came from the AG Garland.
He’s not stupid enough to not deny it.
If he would admit it, he could be prosecuted or be subjected to a lawsuit.
I think that this is just the beginning.
I think Garland’s Goose is Cooked!
These DemonCrats think that they can do whatever they want.
Just like any Dictatorship.
But Hashem put Trump in & he put in a Conservative SCOTUS.
It will first be Garland and then the Rest of these Political DemonCrats!
SCOTUS will stop them from Stepping on the Bill of Rights!Oh Jackk -“There is no letter from any US Attorney that says that parents should be prosecuted for Domestic Terrorism for showing up at meetings and expressing their opinion.”
How do you know that? I certainly don’t.
I’d appreciate if YWN would post a copy of the letter here.“It is for threatening School Board officials and harassing them”
Even if you’re right. All cases like this are handled on the State level, Not the Federal level.
Like I said this needs further investigation, to see if the Justice Department is violating the Constitution.“Here is a statement from Tom that I totally agree with:
“Those who attacked the Capitol today should face the full extent of federal law.”Well he’s on the money. He believes in the Constitution.
I’m still waiting to hear from any DemonCrat Politican about Federal prosecution for all the attacks on Federal property by the Left Wing mobs, during 2020 & 2021.good riddance!
We miss the participation of our dear member “Health”. Hoping he is healthy, wealthy and happy.
Strangely, I agree. He has been a disappointment to those of us who believe he slow-walked critical Trump prosecutions and has failed to aggressively go after those who engaged in blatant anti-semitic acts after October 7th, especially on college campuses.
> he slow-walked critical Trump prosecutions
There is an impression that prosecutions were timed to go jointly in time for elections. It just did not look random that all of them were coming up at the same time. They just underestimated the tenacity of the other side by a couple of months.
