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.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of  kefirah  [denial]. The whole world is  kefirah  today. And today, to get  emunah   peshutah  it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have  emunah   peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get  emunah , he's looking for a  teretz  [excuse] to get out of it, that's all.  Emunah   peshutah  today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very  frum  family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in  apikorsus . Even the  fruma , under the skin, they have no  emunah  at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get  emunah  today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and ma...
