Ezra Friedlander, an Orthodox Jew who lives in Brooklyn and does political PR and CEO of the Friedlander Group, was featured throughout an article in the Chareidi Hamodia saying that "Obama is good for the Jews"! An absurd mic of words - I hope to respond to it very shortly!
Thanks Chaim for a GREAT video!!!
Was that last week? I recall that for alot of the article he was saying that the charedi press was too skeptical of obama, and it's not good to distance themselves from a possible or the, future president. It's not in their interests. I think he said he felt he had been guilty of being anti obama in the past.
He was really returning charedim to a fairly classical position of, we are guests, we don't oppose the leader of the country in which we reside..
By the way, there was an interesting thing in the (most recent) jewish tribune , for this shabbat that just passed. It said that Rice was quite right wing, said we can't trust them/Abbas. But then she changed. Bush repeatedly said to Rice "you don't seriously think we have a partner for peace with Abbas?". And Rice said "I don't, but Olmwert is convinced that we can"
The article went on to say at rabin's memorial, Olmert basically said give them everything. And elsewhere, it said that Olmert thinks we need a palestinian state, because without one they will be a majourity, and evem American jewry will not support an israel with universal voting rights.
It's interesting.. Rabbi Kahane always said that creating a "palestinian" state , or rather, moving out of areas with arab majourities, won't solve the demographic problem , it just delays it, because what when the arabs become a majourity within the jewish state that remains. The arabs within israel were havingg many children.
It does look like te situation might have changed a bit though.
Rabbi Kahane also said many times years ago, to stop giving arabs a cheque for every child..
A few years ago, Netanyahu cut that welfare , which affected both charedim and arabs. Arab birthrate has dropped. Charedim are still having many children.
Maybe now there isn't such a risk of an arab majourity.
The arab birthrate point was originally used by the right to say throw them out.. (the leftist intellectuals largely hid their "solution" of throw jews out). Then it was used by the left saying throw jews out. (people forgot rabbi kahane's argument that this only delays the problem)
I don't think moving out of the so-called occupied territory changes the voting situation at all. The arabs there don't vote in israeli elections anyway.
