So explain to me, David, why you couldn’t say that in the first place, and instead, chose to write an obnoxious comment.

I think you are laboring under the misconception that I have any intention of being annoyed in my comments threads. You had better read the comments policy, and attend to it, or you will not be commenting here any longer.

Those posts are not my “bio.” They are simply a few facts about me. Do not presume to think that you know me because you read some things that I wrote.

In fact, you would do well not to presume with me at all.

Sheesh! I read all three parts of your bio, Meryl, and I didn’t see anything about snippy.
As for excommunication as it refers to Satmar, there is no need. If courageous Mod Orthodox and Conservative rabbis proscribed Satmar shechita–and there are several legitimate reasons to do so in Jewish law–it would bring them quickly to heel. Unfortunately, courageous rabbis is an oxymoron.

Do some research? Certainly. My going rate is $100/hour for research. It generally takes me 2-4 hours to research a 750 word piece, plus another hour or two to write it, depending on how heavily it needs to be edited. Sometimes, the words just don’t flow. Then there’s the fee for the finished product. Let’s say $1,000.

Deposit half the amount in my Paypal or Amazon tipjars, and tell me when you want it.

Failing that, feel free to research the subject yourself, write the post exactly as you want it, and put it up on your own blog.

I’m curious, Meryl. Was the fellow you saw arguing with the asshats arguing in English? Did the asshats speak American with American accents or were their accents Israeli? Instead of ranting, Meryl, do some research and tell us just who is this “Rabbi” Weiss. My information is shaky but I’m told that these folks are originally unaffiliated American BTs. I’m told that they don’t really represent anyone but themselves while ordinary N’turei Karteniks are content to stay home, shirk their military duty and sponge off the sinful Jewish State.

These are the same people who blame zionist settlers of the 20’s for the Holocaust. And they insist they are more Jewish than we are because of blacker hats or longer beards or whatever…

I like to think of these people as the “B’nei Korah”. Let us all pray that they all meet the same fate.

velvel,

What they have learned is that those who wish for peace at any price will inherit the grave and they yearn for it.

Self hatred is a rather common human trait. Why should Jews be exempt?

BTW I like the kapo idea. Perhaps some signs at the next demo?

Lerner and Chomsky and nitwits, oh my!!! These clowns want a free peace…not one that takes any responsiblity. And they are smart but arrogant to think that vigilance is not needed.
What have they learned from Tom Fox?

I struggle to understand why there are people like these creeps. Don’t they understand that the Iranian government, specifically its president hates Israel and Jews? How can they embrace a group that denies that the holocaust ever existed and worse yet wants to see Israel wiped off the map? I just don’t get it.

Every spring during the Salute to Israel Parade in Manhattan there is a group of Satmar/Neturei Karta Hassidim who show up along the parade route with their anti Israel placards. Usually they are right next to their Arab friends. I went over to one guy and never felt so tempted to punch a guy in the mouth and knock out a few of his teeth then that vile loathsome Hasid with his “ISRAEL = Nazi Germany” placard.
