doom, your message is that we should not fight each other. And how do you convey that message? By coming on our forum and telling one of our best members to "shut up".
Might I also remind you that downwithislam was only RESPONDING to the non-stop anti-JTF hate and slander that he saw on your forum. For many years, Yekutiel has allowed a torrent of the most vicious hatred against JTF in general and against me personally. At the same time, Yekutiel defends the informer traitor Irv Rubin ys''v.
kahaneloyalist, with all due respect, your description of my position on working with Christians and gentiles is quite inaccurate. You say that I represent a small minority position. Can you cite a single leading rabbinic authority today who says that we should not work with Christians and gentiles who want to help Israel? In the religious nationalist camp, ALL of the leading rabbinic authorities today work with Christians and gentiles or at least try to. HaRav Dov Lior, HaRav Zalman Melamed, HaRav Mordechai Eliyahu, HaRav Yisrael Lau, and many others ALL meet with and try to convince Christian and gentile visitors to Israel to work together with rightwing Jews in America against Israeli territorial retreats. Whenever Christians and gentiles join demonstrations, Arutz 7 and the other religious nationalist media in Israel praise their participation.
Much more disturbing is your defense of the informer traitor Irv Rubin ys''v. You say he was not an informer. Rubin went on national television in front of 30 million Americans to incite them against the hero Jonathan Pollard. Here's what the person you are defending said: "Jonathan Pollard used his trusted position in the Defense Department to betray his country and pass secrets to a foreign nation. Someone who commits treason does not deserve a life sentence. If I could, I would sentence Pollard to death." The audience burst into frenzied applause and cheers, and the program host Merv Griffin and his other guest William F. Buckley also happily applauded and cheered.
THE PERSON WHO REALLY DESERVED THE DEATH SENTENCE WAS RUBIN, AND BARUCH HASHEM, HE RECEIVED IT.
On the Barry Farber radio show, Rubin also condemned Reuven Manning as a "terrorist murderer" when Manning was sentenced to life imprisonment.
And Rubin said on the Geraldo Rivera television show, "Victor Vancier is a dangerous terrorist fanatic who brings shame to the Jewish people. You don't release live teargas in an audience of 4,000 ballet fans. And you don't run around New York and Washington blowing cars up and bombing the entrance to Lincoln Center. They should lock up crazy terrorists like Vancier and throw the key away."
For your information, kahaneloyalist, publicly urging death and imprisonment for fellow Jews IS informing.
Rubin's "tshuva" (repentence) only came when he saw that Jewish activists and religious Jews would not support someone who had said such things. His "tshuva" was completely insincere, and you cannot do tshuva unless you compensate the people you have wronged. How could Rubin compensate Pollard for inciting 30 million people against him, or Manning for inciting the radio audience, or me for inciting millions of Geraldo's viewers?
