Thanks
That’s a reasonable position, I may not agree with every kind but I certainly would not challenge it outright and totally.
That’s a very different tone and position then someone who says ”send half the boys out to work!! ” ”let them Get off their tuchus” which is what I was responding to

Firstly because we lack to back a winner
TRUMP
secondly why should all boys work?
You hate torah so much?

Sammy boy do you know what else it says in the ”ketubah ”
Or you found out that it says something about work and you lost your head??

Where he questions whether we are safer as a result.
That’s not an important question.
The question is only are we less safe?
The man was evil and needed to be taken out. As long as it doesn’t increase our danger from Iran it was a good move.
Since Iran is being as aggressive as they could anyway, there is really no problem with killing their generals

Your point??

This issue has two parts
1 it’s a mitzvah just like any other, and maybe I should comment maybe not.
2 it directly affects me. Hashem created men that they are attracted to females. That’s just the fact. So when a woman or girl dresses inappropriately, that will effect any man who can see her.
It’s on different than if your Co worker started coming to work every day with a new cologne.
Gasoline. 87 unleaded. Liberally sprayed on themselves.
Imagine if you complained about the stench and they would respond, just don’t smell. Breath from your mouth and put on nose plugs. I have the right to spray what I want. It’s my body.
Would anyone buy that answer???
But somehow when a woman walks around smelling like gehennom, suddenly if a man says anything ”just don’t look ”
It’s not his business

News flash
If you are affecting me, it is my business.
And if you are dressing in a way that is not in accordance with halacha I have every right to complain.

Syag,
I’ve skinned some, I’ve schmoozed with boys who were reading them asking what the books are about.
There are books where the ”hero ”is constantly killing and maiming.
There are characters who are conniving crooks.
Husbands who are jerks
Wives who are mean
Children who ”had enough ”and throw it all away.

While officially the undercurrent of the book is supposed to be that the evil ones life is empty,
Ultimately the overt information has the evil one being successful for most of the book quite often.
That’s just the way a novel of intrigue is going to be built.
The hero is always on the defensive for most of the book.
That’s how you build suspense.
You create a hero you put him in trouble /danger /difficult situation/position and you work him out of it.
That means that for most of the book your reader is reading about a non role model being successful.
That subliminal message seeps in. ESPECIALLY SO being as the child is under the impression that this is a Jewish book written by someone like him. The fact that at the end it all falls apart doesn’t counteract the hundreds of pages where it was going well for the bad guy.
Of course I’m not saying the kid puts down the book and goes to rob a bank.
But neither does he put down the worst of non Jewish literature and go to ”Manhattan”
It’s a question of putting wrong ideals into his head.
I think many of the so called Jewish novels are awful. While there are plenty of kosher non Jewish ones.
Ultimately it should be the content that is the factor in the decision. Not the author.
This is similar to the ”Jewish music ” conversation.
For they are both really the same

7 is not the same as 4
Which means there is no herring without carrots

Jewish novels
Product Description
Gabi Ben-Dor, a seasoned private eye, is in hot pursuit of a rogue doctor whose negligence has cost lives.

Product Description
A diabolical plan for terror, years in the making.
A reluctant attorney in a battle between evil and good.
Shea Berman’s life is about to implode.

It happened so quickly: Shea Berman went from being a respected member of his Lakewood community, an attorney on the fast-track to success, and a loving son, husband, and father, to a pariah fighting to keep his job, his reputation, his family – and his life.

When forced by his ruthless, and hugely successful, law firm to defend the man accused of brutally attacking Shea’s own rebbe, Shea is drawn into a plot that spans years and continents. The stakes are high, as Shea and an unlikely band of allies including an angry district attorney, an elderly Pakistani father, and an incorrigible FBI agent try to uncover the truth, both in the courtroom and on the dangerous streets of Brooklyn and Jenin.

Fatal Judgment is a riveting legal thriller that will keep readers on edge from the first vivid encounter with American justice to the explosive climax.

Yossi is defiant. His father is overbearing. His mother is protective. It’s a volatile mixture that explodes in this can’t-put-down novel.

Need I go on??
This is a random sampling of the current crop of novels being offered by the premier Jewish publishing company.
Murder
Mayhem
Intrigue
Leaving home
Leaving Judaism
Dysfunctional parents
Dysfunctional marriages
Dysfunctional families
Thievery.
Anything goes as long as its not male female related.

True it’s not all but if you don’t want to generalize Jewish novels, don’t generalize non Jewish ones either.

ahhh!
so you are stupid because you support fools?

I beg to differ
Talk about insidious
A book like Sherlock Holmes is almost totally clean has ”chochma” and if something not so great finds its way in, a kid at least knows it’s not Jewish.
Contrast that to Jewish novels of today which as a relative who was off the derech told me ”are a guidebook for going off the derech ” with everything working out in the last three chapters.
Much worse

right
so assume that wasnt hyperbole (given that the liberals say he has never paid his bills why is this one different)
how does that make him anti semitic?

Why exactly does trump have an agenda to ”look good in front of the Jews ” ?
I keep hearing/seeing people express that idea.
I can’t even begin to understand it.
If you told me Biden hates blacks but attempts to make himself look like he loves them, I get it. The black community has a huge sway in politics and if he’d be associated with being anti black it would really torpedo his chances at winning. So there would be motive.

What’s trumps motive?
The pro Jewish things he has done have almost all been (in his world view) pro RELIGIOUS Jewish. Many have actually infuriated the ”Jewish lobby ”
Moving the embassy,
Legitimizing the shomron settlements,
Freeing rubashkin
Why would he do any of those if it wasn’t for real????
I’m asking you a favor.
You are not shy to type tons of posts.
Give me a direct answer.
Not an obfuscation not a parallel politician who was similarly accused.
Just a straight direct answer.
My contention?
He was around frum Jews his whole life. Dealt with them.made millions from them. Legitimately likes them. Doesn’t care what anyone will say when he helps them

I wasn’t talking about that either.
I’m sure all those events are watched streaming online as well. And by more people than will be watching the s h

lets even grant that trump only asked to investigate biden (hunter) beacuse it would help him out.
is there anything wrong , with pressing for a legitimate corruption investigation , when you are choosing specifically one of many available, because that one will have a side benifit of helping you politically?

Besides which, there are answers on a more pragmatic level other than the ones you baited.
I’ll just give you one.
Statistically, people who move to e y while their children are in their 8-18 year old ages, have way higher percentages of children going off the Derech.
Not a very comforting thought for a frum yid

Avi
Only difference is
There hashem told us to go to e y
Here he told us to stay out

There the rebels were in the wilderness
Here they are in the country of Israel

All of your arguments are self made up after you knew what you wanted to answer.
But they all start after accepting an unproven point that needs to be proven.
Who says we are supposed to go en mass to live in e y?
Maybe we are supposed to stay in galus
With all its problems
I certainly don’t know
But to uproot oneself,
And certainly to demand of others to do so, one must be totally sure he is right.
You have not even begun to do that.

Chash
So based on your Op
Would you support an. Investigation got Obama’s birth certificate fiasco?
(I personally do)

Avi
Permitted does not equal “should ”
And end of McGillah has plenty written as to why exactly they didn’t take

Among these were the אשת יפת תואר and slavery
Really??the Gemarah says
המשחרר עבדו עובר בעשה שנאמר לעולם בהם תעבודו
That’s a temporary measure?
And when does it end?
Why do we have no guidance?
“warning this מצווה will expire after xx years “??
Sorry I don’t buy it
Maybe אתרוג too. Only applicable when we lived in an agrarian society
תפילין only before we “woke ” and weren’t so cognizant of animal rights
And on and on

Why can’t you sell your child
Ever heard of אמה עבריה?
Sale date expires 12.6
I’m not suggesting you can do it it today’s world, but it can’t be wrong, objectively

Yy
When??
