smerel: “As I said a few months ago I’m no longer posting here because of the type of people who do. Now I’m taking the next step and having my filter block it altogether. “
This was the second time smerel claimed he will be gone from this site, and now he was gonna block it in his filter, altogether!
Yikes; just when we thought we *really* will be missing him this time, we find him — again — this week posting on the main site of YWN.
Apparently he was able to figure out a trick to beat his filter.
Well, well, well.
Today’s President Trump’s Truth Social company made a $6 Billion (yes, billion) deal with a Google backed nuclear fusion company.
Once again Donald Trump gets the last laugh.
By and large it is the left-wing parties, and even the left of center parties, that are the most tolerant of anti semitism and Jew hatred.
This is the case mostly worldwide.
I’ve had multiple posters tell me over the years that they changed their minds based on posts I’ve made. Regarding various issues.
Yankel: You’re being hypocritical. You’re claiming it can’t be that Rav Shmuelevitz was intentionally making an emotional point without intending to make a halachic point. According to you Rav Shmuelevitz isn’t allowed to intend to do something like being intentionally poetic; and according to you if someone else says that’s what Rav Shmuelevitz intended, then that person is refusing to LISTEN to a Talmid Chochom. (Never mind another Talmid Chochom might disagree.)
But then YOU hypocritically claim when it comes to a different Talmid Chochom, namelythe Satmar Rebbe, YOU CAN claim it was emotional and therefore NOT LISTEN TO A TALMID CHOCHOM (the SR), as you claim regarding others in reference to Rav Shmuelevitz.
No Jewish community anywhere in the city voted for him.
No.
The fight against Chasidus was also very similar to the fight (Kovner Rov, etc.) against the Mussar Movement (Rav Yisroel Salanter, Slabodka, Novardik, etc.). The fights are long over. The Torah velt has long accepted the Mussar Movement and Chasidus. They are all part and parcel and one in unison.
The old fight against the Chasidim is the same idea as the old fight against Rambam and the old fight against Rav Yonosan Eybeschutz.
The entire Torah world eventually accepted the Rambam, the Chasidim and Rav Yonosan Eybeschutz.
WB Dr. Pepper. It’s always a pleasure to see you again during your brief interludes here.
Like earlier mentioned, there are virtually no “misnagdim” today; and this has been the case for the last 100+ years. Any so-called misnaged today is simply a Litvak who holds by Litvish shittos; and he’s no more misnaged against Chasidish shittos than he’s against Serfardish or Teimanish shittos. The Litvaks daven Nusach Ashkenaz, the Chasidish daven Nusach Sefard and the Sefardish daven Nusach Spanish & Portuguese or Edot HaMizrach and Mizrachim daven Edot HaMizrach and Teimanin daven Nusach Baladi or Shami and Persians daven Nusach Paras. And all of them have unique shittos and minhagim of their own. None are against the others.
Yankel: You are again a prevaricator. I brought proofs from Talmidei Chachomim and even from the Zionists themselves, where their courts and judges in Israel condemned Kastner.
YYA: No idea what you’re hallucinating. It has no relevance to anything I said.
Zionist Judge Halevi, in the Kastner Trial, condemned Kastner for “having sold his soul to the Devil”.
Yankel: The overwhelming evidence condemning Kastner does not rely on Eichmann ym”s. It is so overwhelming that even Kastner’s own Zionist courts in Israel condemned him as a traitor to the Jewish people.
YYA: Your point is redundant. The Yidden in Chutz La’aretz also trust in Hashem. And in only Hashem. No one else.
Which circle of kids from which kinds of families are using this term?
I know, right? People like Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Ahron Kotler, Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky, the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, Rav Shimon Shkop, Rav Yisrael Salanter, The Ben Ish Chai, The Rogatchover Gaon, the Alter of Slabodka, Rav Elchonon Wasserman, Rav Meir Shapiro, The Chasam Sofer, The Vilna Gaon, The Baal Shem Tov, The Noda B’Yehuda, The Pele Yoetz, The Rema, The Mechaber, The Rosh, The Rif, Rabbeinu Tam and even Rashi didn’t live in Eretz Yisroel.
You should have been around to correct them all.
YYA: You feel safer there, by comparison, despite October 7 and constant murders, maiming and attacks on Jews every few months to year or two for the last 77+ years?
War isn’t a video game.
More from “To the Butcher II”, Life Magazine, December 5, 1960.
The Setting: Argentina, 1957. Eichmann was living freely as “Ricardo Klement.” Interviewer: Willem Sassen, a Dutch journalist.
”This Dr. Kastner… was a young man about my age, an ice-cold lawyer and a fanatical Zionist. He agreed to help keep the Jews from resisting in the deportation camps if I would close my eyes and let a few hundred or a few thousand young Jews emigrate to Palestine. It was a good bargain.”
Eichmann said that he and Kastner shared a similar ideology: that the “masses” were less important than the “elite.”
Eichmann wrote that Kastner was willing to sacrifice the old, the assimilated, and the “weak” Jews to save the “best biological material”—the young pioneers who would build Israel.The Quote: “For Kastner, as for me, it was a question of the best biological material.”
He stated that Kastner knew exactly where the trains were going (Auschwitz). Eichmann wrote: “We trusted each other perfectly… With his great polish and reserve he (Kastner) would have made an ideal Gestapo officer himself.”
Direct Quotation: “He (Kastner) agreed to help keep the Jews from resisting deportation—and even keep order in the collection camps—if I would close my eyes and let a few hundred or a few thousand young Jews emigrate illegally to Palestine. It was a good bargain.”
Direct Quotation: ”While we talked he would smoke one aromatic cigarette after another, taking them from a silver case and lighting them with a little silver lighter.”
Yankel: Why do you insist upon lying? I never called Hamas anything of the sort.
