But Kahane Was Right, right?.. And yes, any Jew who's not with Kahane is a self hater to some degree if not totally. In my opinion any Jew who's against what Kahane stood for bears some responsibility for all the rape, torture and murder of Jews in Israel by our enemies. Maybe Shapiro is a closet Kahanist maybe he's not, i don't know because he's never simply said "Kahane was right!"... But he's a self hater because he's one of those Jews like so many who still very much want and need the approval and acceptance of the goyim. Especially the white Christian. The ever so ignorant uppity self righteous pagan europeans who desecrate and exploit G'd and our heritage while they look down on us. Ben tip toes around them like a 'good Jew' because the American fame and fortune is worth it to him. He could be in Israel teaching Jews what being right wing really is and thats a million times more important than speaking to his 95% American Christian - Jew Hating audience who already know what right wing is but like it when their boyish looking token Jew tells them about it at 500 words a minute.
Isn't time we told Christians that they're pagans who stole OUR Heritage and desecrate G-d's name in the worst way? Isn't time we tell these evil people the truth and nothing but the truth over and over again to their faces? Ben could do that but he wouldn't have career running his mouth in American politics anymore for fame and fortune. Boo-hoo Ben... Then go to Israel and stop worrying about what these ignorant goyim think and never look back!
You wanna know partly why so many American Jews who were once European Jews are so prone to being liberal and leftist? It's because Christianity has exploited our heritage so much for so long that many many Jews became very turned off by their own heritage. If associating with Christians means being a conservative (another words a normal Jew) than they rather be liberals or leftist. That neo-pagan Roman religion was created to destroy us and it just about has, and Shapiro like Prager tip toe around them trying to be very careful and cautious not to offend. They really really need to be offended and its past time a conservative Jew with a talk radio show that reaches millions tells it like it is. Ben could be that Jew but he's too coward to be and doesn't have the self respect it takes to do it. And that's a damn shame!!
So no, we're not absolutists. Neither was Rav Kahane, he was very happy if he could just teach one person one new thing and that would make one more mitzvah. You don't have to know who Rav Kahane is to be a good person, and not everyone who claims to follow our Rav ZT"L is a good person.
If you stand against Rav Kahane and the mission we continue for him, then you're at least a bit evil, and likely very, even in cases where the person is completely ignorant.
You again accuse Ben of being someone who wants approval from goyim. I don't think he's anti-approval, he'll make more cash on his books, but the issue with that is if someone does what is wrong in order to get approval. You can be a completely good person and kinda want goyim to think you're wonderful, as long as you do not corrupt yourself for it or rely on it instead of Hashem, Ben has committed no sin there. The only righteous judgement of a man is to judge him on his righteousness and all other judgement is wickedness - Gemarra. Tell me how he has been corrupt or relied on goyim above Hashem and there's a discussion, so far that's just an accusation you haven't backed up in any way. Then you use that accusation with no evidence presented to back up your claim that he is a self-hating Jew, this is an unjust trial of the man and I beg you to reconsider the lashon hara.
Your accusations do not become more substantive or less wicked from there. Ben goes to complete leftist universities and talks to complete liberals, does speeches to professors to help them become better educators, writes books and runs dailywire, which is a soft enough conservative site that I can start many of my new recruits there. I need Ben's material and it is useful to me. It's on the internet, go show it to people in Israel and you have helped him earn mizvot if they turn from leftist evils and ultimately to Torah.
There are Xtians here. I respect them alot and they do their best to do good. The kohanim wouldn't insult idolaters when there was a temple, they'd straight up take their animal to be sacrificed if it was kosher, and let them see for themselves what Hashem can do. What exactly would you gain from that? We have the most converts to Judaism and the largest global Noachide population since the Roman empire precisely because the Jews for JC and their 300 mil/year from the baptist church and similar groups have only succeeded in making Westerners curious about actual Judaism. We aren't lifting a finger against them. Jews for Judaism makes videos to refute claims, and that helps, but even without them, these people are coming to us in droves. We show them love, not "you're wa wa and I hate you" they read and learn and ask questions and try to disprove Torah again and again until they're chassidim calling everyone else idolaters, it's beautiful. Be proud, you should, but also be comfortable that what you have is a shining light and everyone else has vanity and nothingness. They see the light and come, you're just going to make everyone run if you decide you need to shine it in their eyes to be proud of who you are.
Most importantly, despite the groups that support Israel to convert Jews, there are lots of completely well-meaning American evangelicals and otherwise, even atheists that support Israel because it's the right thing to do, and many more that do it because we have the same enemies and they are self-interested and rational, as is seemly. At the end of the day, the post-renaissance called and asked for their fight back. Catholics and all their spin-offs are castrated compared to the ones in the dark ages. They stopped burning villages of us alive, and there's no systematic discrimination except for in lack of police protection, which is irrelevant if Jews are armed and ready to do a Purim instead of sitting and waiting for it to come. Hashem makes it clear that those who hate us hate Him and are scared cowards that go after an easier target, so it'll always be there because Hashem set it up like that so we could have an obvious indicator of evil, and obviously countless other reasons we'll know when Moshaich comes, may it be today G-d willing. Talk to them, most American Xtians are really good people that are trying to do what's right, and even many of the people who repeat lines that Jew-haters say do so out of complete ignorance and can easily be educated on the errors of their ways, and are always thankful after I explain them things. What do either of us gain if we hate each other? Muslims are killing us both, we don't need to aim at our allies, even if "an alliance with the mighty is never to be trusted" (Phaedrus). I'm not saying leave your kids with them, I'll show you videos of missionaries talking to 5-10 year old kids in parks and then saying "don't tell your parents", but politically they are useful. Furthermore, we could remove the law banning missionary work if we had one hour of actual Jewish education and no endless Torah-hating classes in schools, with a basic understanding of Judaism their whole religion becomes comedy. I know because I was one, and then I made teshuva here. The Xtians were very well respected here, no one was going on "we hate them" rampages, I just saw their opinion, I already knew it, and then I got to see the Jewish one next to it and it's very easy to choose. If all you had to say was all that, G-d forbid where I'd be now.
What exactly do you want him to say? He's not a Rabbi or a counter-missionary specialist. He's not fighting against either. Instead of cursing his work because he doesn't insult his evangelical customers, do a gofundme (or ideally a site that doesn't take commissions like them) raise money put Jews for Judaism ads on his website. Talk to him and tell him personally first off before you curse his name in public, he's quite easy to reach at dailywire. I'm certain if you spoke with your brother yourself you'd be ashamed to write all this after, and would simply come to the conclusion that you can use his very neutral platform to do good things.
I have never seen evidence of your final opinion, as interesting as it may appear on the surface. I have talked to many, they say "we came to America and the conservatives wouldn't let us join their golf clubs and the liberals did". I need to find someone from that generation who isn't rich to ask why, but for the wealthy it was that, and before in Europe, they thought communism and socialism was the way to equality and an end to Jew-hatred. An evil cause they were tricked into for a good goal, they however are waking up in droves. Besides, at the time a liberal politician couldn't run for office unless he was a staunch Xtian as well in America, basically everyone was.
I don't see him discussing Judaism at all. If he were to corrupt a passage in Torah or something like that in order to pander to Xtians, it would be a sin and then you have justification to warn against him. As for what he does, ask your Rav if you have permission to write such things against him, except for the part about his looks, there's a Gemarra that a Sage became so proud he actually insulted the way an ugly person looked, an indication his mind had become corrupt. He talks about evangelicals, but I've never heard him mention their religion once. None of this is forbidden, and it is forbidden to speak against him for something that is no sin.
Also, the Roman religion has not, nor will ever destroy us, nor anything else so long as there are stars in the sky.
