Comment on Enlightened, progressive, good American Jews by Dovid

a.) What point are you trying to make?

b.) Why do you say that?

c.) Which standard of halachah are you referring to?

d.) What do you know about her conversion?

My point is this: “avi” is uninformed and ignorant. Unless he knows Rabbi Stanton personally (which I do) and knows something about her conversion that I don’t know, he is wrong. Rabbi Stanton is halachically Jewish. She even lived in Israel for a year as part of her studies.

Wow! that is one nutty video. I think it makes a pretty good case to do away with the Birth Right program. I wouldn’t want to encourage Aaliya amongst circles such as those.

“I find this absolute assault on free speech very scary.

It reminds me of something that my great uncle told me about that happened in the country he used to live in. It is exactly the same type of tactic used by those in his county who wanted to climate free speech.”

I meant to type “eliminate”

Yeah this is kind of a twist of what Obama did last time around.

But not so much.

Now if you say something against Obama you are a racist.

Last time if you said something against Obama you were helping out the Jews or maybe even a Jew yourself.

Of course back then he didn’t go by the name of Obama.

Yeah, Nice Tan, and it was smart of you to drop the mustache this time around. But, nope, I still recognized you immediately. It was the nature of your game that gave you away.

Whatever you think about what they said, this isn’t racist.

Were all the ugly, and indeed there were very ugly things said about Bush, were all the ugly stuff said about Bush, racist?

What is racist is when people like you call any criticism of Obama “racist”.

Time to look in the mirror o’ racist one.

Comment on Obama’s entire speech by Air

Very inspirational speech. This will help solidify U.S.’s standing in the middle east, and promote its values.

But in terms of our military in the middle east…sounds like the president just air brushed the issue and moved on to the next?

Lisa:

Same point as the fire drills I have to participate in downtown Toronto. Authorities charged with public safety responsibilities need a benchmark to establish how long it takes to evacuate a population to the designated safe place, determine if the response is adequate, and develop a communications strategy to improve results.

It wasn’t just Sheinkin..! I don’t know anybody, anywhere in Israel, who took that drill seriously. I think the real question is, what was the point of the drill? To check that the sirens work? We already did that last month, on Yom Hazikaron.

Perhaps if the municipality took the issue of the shelters seriously – by putting up signs with directions to the nearest one, and by keeping them clean and well maintained – we’d take these drills more seriously. As it is, today’s siren seemed like a scare tactic.
