It still holds up quite well, don’t you think?
To The Writers, Reporters and Subscription Staff,
I have been a loyal reader and customer since the inception of your newspaper.I even used to sell subscriptions and advertising during your first years of the english edition.I don’t expect to see this letter in print, but I want you to know that I am severly disappointed in your recent publications.You seem to have lost your sense of right and wrong, your discriminating eye and you just publish all thelies and fabrications that are sent your way as “news” without actually checking or asking yourselves if what they are telling you is true or even if it makes sense.You do no investigative reporting and just swallow the government “party line/lies/ propaganda” hook, line and sinker.And then report it to people that trust your reporting as true.While you may believe that it is perfectly normal to wear masks, close schools, shuls , and forbid weddings—you have never questioned the government policy to forbid doctors treating this virus .Why aren’t they allowing doctors to treat this virus when it appears.Imagine stepping on a rusty nail and then told to go home and take acamol, wait until the infection takes over your body,—and then once your body is totally infected, then the hospital will allow a tetnus shot.You would never permit such a thing.And yet while hundreds of Drs in the states and other countries have testified that when they have treated patients successfully and immediately with Dr Zelenko’s protocal — of hydrochloroquine, zinc, and azithramycyne.,and less than 1% ended up in the hospital.Of course after they reported their finding each Dr reports that they were threatened with having their licenserevoked. Since when is a Dr told by phamacutical companies what he may and may not give his patients.This is unprecedented.I myself am high risk and asked my Dr to prescribe Hydrochoroquine and he told me that he was not allowed to give it to patients.Odd????How come you don’t know that and if you do, are keeping quiet?Why aren’t you questioning why for a death rate less than the flu, the government has crashed the economyand are forbiding many people from supporting their families.That’s a new one historically.Why aren’t you condemning all the slander, tattletaling and bullying, that are taking place all in the name of wearing a mask, when there is no proof that masks actually protect people from getting this virus—and might actually be causing harm.Look at the research!Since when does the Torah demand that an individual seclude themelves for public health —especially when the mortality rate is so low. That’s of course not counting all the people that have reported finding the cause of death on their loved one’s “Death Certificate as “Covid 19” when they clearly died of other causes–like a car accident.I never saw you report all the false Death Certificates.The government has begun to classify citizens as “essential workers” and ” non essential workers”.There was another time in recent history when people were called “non essential” and then taken out of regular society .Not allowed to work.The Holocaust.They also tested people’s reaction to authority and decrimination when in 1933 they posted soldier’s outside jewish businesses , forbiding German’s from entering Jewish businesses.No one protested.Then they took away/murdered , handicapped, gypsies, etc and no one protested.Then it was our turn but there was no one left to protest.So they understood that people would submit themselves without a fight .No one questioned the justice or morality of the new laws .Of course the leaders didn’t either protest—and whether you admit it or not, a newspaper doesn’t report what people think—it informs people what to think.You call yourself a “Torah Newspaper”, but where is your checking the facts and critical thinking?You might claim that you do ask Gedolim.But if you don’t present all the information to the Gedolim how are they supposed tomake a correct decision .In the Gemoras describing the times before the arrival of our Mashiach, it says that “Religious people will be despised”.We see that that is happening right now. People all over are blaming religious people for the spread of this virus.Obviously, it’s all from HaShem, but where’s your responsibility to give religious people the right perspective.?Give them information to alleviate the fear and make good choices for themselves and their families.Give them information to empower them and not get caught up in the false narrative of fear!!!! and Death!!!!!By withholding a successful treatment, the govenment is responsible for many of the deaths.Where’s your responsibility for not reporting a treatment that has been around for almost 70 yearsand has helped people around the world?Now their threatening to force vaccines on people, and then not allow people who arent vaccinated to go to restaurants, travel, receive government assistance, go to schools, etc….A vaccine that was tested for a matter of months. Usually they test a vaccine for years.Do you know what respected scientists are saying about this supposed “vaccine”?Will you be courageous enough to ask the question and then inform your readersof the real facts and not just just report the govenment propaganda?Please cancel my subscription and stop all continued payments.I hope someone at your newspaper will take what I wrote to heart.You might respond,” There are so many voices out there, how do we know what is true?”That’s actually not an answer, because at the end of the day, you do put out a newspaper that people read.And trust.You are responsible to try to figure out the fact from the fiction the best that you can or at least report all relevant information.
You are chayuv.
