The Unanswerable Question for Charedi Pols: ‘If XYZ Is Bad, Why Do You Force It on Others?’

I give many examples of this hypocrisy in a lengthy article here: Charedi Politics ONLY PRETENDS To Be Purely Defensive!

Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein echoes this in an article on “sharing the burden” of army conscription:

[Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky] makes the case quite well that the army poses an inordinate threat to an impressionable young person, particularly when it is designed to be an instrument of social cohesion.

Rabbi Adlerstein challenges this by asking if the situation isn’t fixable.

Ha! Fixing a government program!

He goes on:

Rabbi Lopiansky writes that quite aside from the negative impact of army service, “the robbing of our youths’ formative years as a ben Torah would be a price that we could not pay.” Agreed. But how do we ask other, reluctant Israelis to pay a different price so that we don’t have to pay ours? Who gave us that right? Similarly, he writes that the imposition of the core curriculum, including instruction in “citizenship [which] can mean whatever they want it to mean…is a perfectly reasonable request from their end, but totally unacceptable to us.” But if it is reasonable to them, how do we tell them that they must be the ones to pay for our unreasonable (to them) system of education?

Hit the nail on the head. Exactly!

Any Non-Jews NOT a Tool (Dupe) of the Jews, Please Raise Your Hand!

  • Black supremacists say whites are Tools of the Jews.
  • White supremacists say blacks are Tools of the Jews.
  • The Nazis put the Slavs, the Allies forces, previous German politicians, non-Nazis, and non-Jewish Bolsheviks in that box.
  • The Arabs say the Western countries are Tools of the Jews.
  • Marxists here use the term “False Consciousness” for, say, Capitalists.
  • Anti-Israelis often claim Israel is a Tool of the Jews (I wish).

So…

Anyone who is not, I repeat, NOT a tool of the Jews (including subconsciously), please raise your hand (consciously).

(Of course, they are all correct.)

 

מי המורשים להשתמש במקוה של הכותל? – רשימה רשמית

מתוך אתר מורשת הכותל:

להלן המורשים להשתמש במקוה:

  1. שוטרים העולים להר הבית.
  2. מתפללים המשתתפים בתפילה של ישיבת בית א-ל – מעלות השחר עד תפילת הנץ בלבד, לאחר מכן אין אישור להשתמש במקוה.
  3. חתנים – עם קבלת העתק מהזמנה.
  4. עובדי הכותל המערבי.

שימוש במקווה לאלו שאינם מורשים הינו טובל ושרץ בידו

Corona, Too: Race Denialism Kills People

Lance Welton from V Dare:

The Ruling Class, which stated with such fanatical satisfaction that it was right, was wrong, as is usually the case with ideologues who refuse to listen to contrary opinions. Many of us really felt what it must be like to live in a paranoid dictatorship: massive restrictions on what one could do, the compulsion to wear uncomfortable masks, and self-appointed “Karens” who demanded “social distancing,” even outdoors. Recall that cops tased a mom at an Ohio high school football game for not wearing a mask.

Understandably, the suggestion that we must Amnesty the Ruling Class and its leftist Mainstream Media Information Ministry has invited no small amount of fury [Let’s Declare A Pandemic Amnesty, by Emily Oster, Atlantic, October 31, 2022].

…

This applies equally, albeit less noticed, to the Ruling Class reversal on race. While Oster and her crowd were masking up for outdoor (!) excursions, some of us spent our time tracking data and publishing pieces that showed, for instance, that the virus affects races differently, partly for genetic reasons. Months later, a government report vindicated that claim. In other words, we were right all along, and the race deniers were wrong. COVID affects the races differently.

When the pandemic began, the U.N. confidently stated that “COVID-19 does not discriminate; nor should our response.” That self-righteous piece of virtue-signaling didn’t age well [COVID-19 does not discriminate; nor should our response, Officer for the High Commission for Human Rights, March 20, 2020]. This was flatly wrong.

In contrast, I began to attach a mantra to my coverage of COVID and race:

If COVID-19 is not an Equal Opportunity disease, that means our race-denying Ruling Class is frightening most people too much—and not warning some people enough. This will not merely cause unnecessary chaos—it will cost lives. 

This is exactly what happened.
