Hilarious!

So I heard from a student of his, no details forthcoming.

Those fighting for free enterprise and free competition do not defend the interests of those rich today. They want a free hand left to unknown men who will be the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Fact: Social media and the comments pages on any site which won’t censor them (that is, most sites that aren’t mainstream, and some which are) are chock-full of antisemitism.

This “antisemitism” ranges from (1) bloodlust to (2) hinting and “asking questions” to (3) viewing the Jews as a threat to internal cohesion and tradition, an invading force of poor and uncultured brutes aiming straight for welfare or national demoralization, (à la Évian Conference diplomats) or inveterate elitists, nothing in between, to (4) vast silent assent.

Can’t go from an Is to an Ought, but…

As pointed out by Rabbi Y. Adlerstein:

… Bekolo Tishme’un/ “you shall hearken to His voice.” This is accompanied by a picture of Rav Ovadia, or Rav Chaim, or yibadel le-chaim, Rav Gershon. (The poster designers seem completely oblivious to the blasphemous nature of the ads, which replace HKBH with basar v’dam. [See the only two places in Tanach where the phrase appears: Devarim 13:5, and Tehillim 95:7.])

See for yourself…
