Kiking it up at the Kotel

It wouldn’t be a Jew-fight if this one wasn’t calling that one a Nazi and the receiving side wasn’t taking great umbrage.

The haredim called the feminists at the Western Wall “Nazis,” and needless to say, the feminists are reeling in horrified pain, and the JTA and the Forward are dutifully reporting this “news” story.

Glad things are relatively slow right now in the Jewish world. When Jews calling Jews Nazis makes the Forward and the JTA, it means nothing is currently going “kaboom.”

Now sit back and wait for the ADL to condemn the incident, and for someone at Jewschool to reprint the JTA story with barely a sentence of original content, and we’ll call it a day.

It is past time to stop supporting the haredi.

And yet, the ultra-Orthodox world is mobilizing to maintain their way of life. A life devoid of vocation or ambition for almost an entire segment of the Israeli haredi population.

Freedom of speech has never been strong in Muslim culture, has it?

Jewlicious has the story.

Jewlicious Rolls Out Music Line-Up of Annual West Coast Zionist Festival

Rabbi Yonah, one of our Zionist friends at Jewlicious, and the architect of the festival, goes a bit overboard, claiming about the Moshav Band that,

Imagine the jamming of Phish, mixed with the vocal strength of Pearl Jam and the spiritual lyrics of U2, seasoned with a Middle-Eastern influence and you can begin to describe the unique sound of Moshav.

Pick a Zionist-Constructed Holocaust Holiday

Okay, there is now both Yom HaShoah, and International Holocaust Day. We cannot have both. Pick one.

Both are fabricated Zionist holidays. But why did the Zionists need two?

Come and Hear,

It’s a miracle!

No wonder these wackjobs banned Slifkin.

Matzav reports an amazing story which I think just goes to show that even within haredi Judaism, there is a difference between the mystical chassidim and the much more rational B’nai Torah haredim.
