    1. No one judged here.

    2. As Yidden, we are supposed to judge.

    3. So the correct question you should have asked is, why haven’t you judged?

    Reb Zev, you’re also happy about the drawings of Moshe Rabbeinu wearing a shtreimal, right?

    P.S. Good answer, by the way.

    P.P.S. Hint – The answer to my question is yes.

    Joe Lieberman, who originally called himself Orthodox, later changed his description to not be Orthodox not rather traditional, as his public positions often were against Torah Judaism.

    Trump hasn’t focused at all over the 2020 election over the last year plus. He made a random comment here and there, sporadically, when asked. But that’s it. The left-wing media (which is all of Big Media/MSM) keeps focusing on it and Trump, but Trump himself not.

    I only read the OP but I see a bunch of comments thereafter. Did anyone actually take the OP seriously rather than understand that what the OP is attempting to convey is that everything Ukraine claims is true, anything that Biden says is Torah and whatever the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, AP and Reuters “report” are verifiable facts?

    These aren’t opinions, these are well established facts. Denying them is not unlike other forms of Holocaust denial. When Holocaust deniers rear their ugly heads, it is the obligation of all good citizens to set the historical record straight. This form of Holocaust denial is no different.

    The Gedolei Yisroel zt’l insisted that these facts be stated loud and clear for all the public to hear, know and remember.

    ToShma: Everything I’ve said on this topic has been a matter of the public record for the last over 70 years. The American media (i.e. Time’s Life Magazine, among many others) have reported Kastner’s relationship with Eichmann in the very early 1950s. In the early 1960s there was the famous court trial in Israel, where all this information was presented and well reported to the public at large. There’s nothing that Goyim reading this will learn that hasn’t been widely reported.

    ToShma: My descriptions so far have only been the tip of iceberg of the crimes Kastner committed against the Jewish people. There’s so much more to add, not the least of which was that even AFTER THE WAR when the Nazis had been defeated, Kastner went to the Nuremberg war crimes trials to testify ON BEHALF OF and IN DEFENSE OF his Nazi friends on trial. One of which whom he successfully helped win an acquittal.

    You need Chasidim to start Shomrim. Now that the Chasidim are in the process of almost overtaking a majority of the Lakewood population, you can probably expect a Shomrim of Lakewood.

    What freedom of the press? Those not towing the Far Left lines are quickly booted from social media, virtually all of which is controlled by the Left, and were omitted from any reports in Big Media, purveyors of the so-called “mainstream media” that exists only to peddle what their Democrat puppet masters wish to be “reported”.

    Rudolf Kastner was a quisling traitor who openly and unabashedly collaborated with the Nazis, and specifically with his smoking/coffee buddy Adolf Eichmann, who he was on intimate terms with and on a first-name basis, welcome to his office unannounced at any time.

    You don’t need me to tell you any of this, it’s all documented in the Vrba-Wetzler Report, by Aushwitz escapees Alfréd Wetzler and Rudolf Vrba, who personally handed Kastner the report of what the Germans were doing to Polish Jews and were still planning to do to Hungarian Jews. As Vrba and Wetzler testified, Kastner ignored them and their report, refused to pass the information to Hungarian Jewry before the Nazis loaded them unto the trains to Aushwitz and instead buried the report and information.

    CS: Rudolf Kastner is responsible for the genocide of 500,000 Hungarian Jews. Whereas he had ample opportunity to notify Hungarian Jewry what Adolf Eichmann was planning against them, as Kastner was intimately familiar with his genocidal plans and on friendly terms with Eichmann, instead he negotiated one train worth of rescue — that 90% was filled with his immediate and extended family and Zionist colleagues whereas the other 10% he sold for profit, including a seat sold at full price to the Rebbe.

    Even the Israeli courts recognized the treason this quisling Kastner committed against his fellow Jews and he was dully assassinated by a Holocaust survivor, in Israel, for his murderous collaboration.

    mdd1 and BY1212 are both absolutely correct. Anyone who eats lock stock and barrel, accepting and believing everything the Western “Big Media” feeds them on their broadcasts and broadsheets, the so-called mainstream media that is part and parcel of the Far Left, or even believes everything the media spokesmen of the government and the leaders of the Western regimes say, is simply an unfortunate fool.

    smerel: My comment was very much in context whereas you’ve taken it out of context. As you surely noticed, my comment was clearly labeled as a response to Avira. Avira wrote that Rabbi Berland was once a respected Rov who had mainstream supporters whereas Rabbi Helbrans was never respected by the mainstream Rabbonim. My comment refuted that, as I demonstrated the greatest Gedolei Hador publicly supported Rabbi Helbrans. Whatever the context of their support was, it certainly indicates he was not considered to be fringe.

    That’s all said above without in any way accepting any of the unproven wild allegations, mostly made online. Repeating lies often enough in news stories certainly leads to some believing everything they read. There absolutely is nothing motzey shem ra because there’s nothing conceivably wrong with Rav Pam’s and 20 other Gedolim’s righteous support of R. Helbrans, who was in the right in that situation.

    Regarding the details of the story from the early 1990s, you have a number of the details very incorrect. The bochor was just Bar Mitzvah when R. Helbrans was involved. The bochor was under 15 years old for the entire duration of the controversy. The bochor learnt in R. Helbrans Yeshiva. He originally boarded in his home. His parents were indeed dysfunctional and divorced and fighting and not religious. The bochor became religious around the time of his Bar Mitzvah through Rabbi Helbrans. That’s when his father wanted him to stop being religious and leave R. Helbrans Yeshiva. R. Helbrans instead put him with another family to hide him from his dysfunctional family who wanted to stop him from being religious. R. Helbrans was charged with kidnapping. And Rav Pam, the Bobover Rebbe, the Skulener Rebbe, the Melbourner, YBL”C Rav Schustel and over a dozen other Gedolim publicly supported Rabbi Helbrans.
