False Reporting and Charedi Hatred in the Jewish Press

Last night, tens of thousands packed the streets of Jerusalem to welcome 63 yeshiva students who were released from prison for refusing to serve the military god. The Yiddish News shows us a photo of the incredible unity of this enormous kiddish Hashem. (top photo) And the Jerusalem Post? (bottom photo) It ran a small article entitled "EXTREMIST ULTRA-ORTHODOX GROUP ORGANIZES HONOR EVENT FOR 'TORAH PRISONERS' then showed only a photo of some traffic blockage earlier in the day. Sub-caption: "The "celebration" caused a major traffic jam on Highway 1 with commuters visibly frustrated about the congestion and blockage." Note the sarcasm and contempt in the Post article, delivered via its liberal use of quotation marks around anything positive said about the event. There is no understanding of what the Charedim are saying, why the army is not a suitable place for them, of what the Charedi point of view is in this matter. And that is Israel, people don't hear each other. The arrogance here is palpable.And the hatred of Charedim is like nowhere else on the planet. And where's truth in reporting? If 30,000 gathered on the streets in an organized event you have to show a photo of 30,000 in an organized event. That's not how the press works in Israel. They show what they want to show. They show what supports their point of view.

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra...

The Real Charedim

It seems sometimes in the Mistake of Israel that anybody who isn't anti-religious, which essentially is most of the country, is Charedi, ie. claims to be. Oh I'm Charedi. Oh he's Charedi. That's what one hears from people as they march along with their smart phones, flags, and blue jeans. And I won't even give you a picture of how their wives and daughters dress and conduct themselves. They are all Charedi. I suspect that they make this claim because they see that irr-Religious Zionism is so empty. Oh, they still buy into all the myths about the Mistake and the army but they see intuitively that there's nothing else there. They want to latch onto the rich life of real Charedim, and the easy way to do that is with a simple declaration. And what about most of the country being anti-religious, well that's not necessarily how they'd describe themselves. After all, some have religious brothers and sisters and grandmothers. Some are just not hostile people and...
