When Jews stay silent against such bigotry, they are supporting
it,
whether they want to admit it or not..

I saw this in the Israeli press, Dan. Disgraceful.

You're right, this kind of anti-orthodox incitement is a disgrace.

Can you believe this? She thinks it's the Orthodox who are being
victimized
here.

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

Do you have some particular reason for wanting to bait Orthodox Jews?
Are Orthodox Jews a special kind of performing parrot, who must jump up
and recite formulas of condemnation when you want them to?

Since you can't seriously imagine that any Orthodox Jew, however they
feel about the issue in question, is likely to respond to your jeering
and baiting by apologising for or denouncing whatever it is has raised
your ire, I can only conclude that you're doing it so that you can crow
about their failure to jump up and put on the performance for you.

In fact you seem to manage pre-emptive crowing, before anyone has even
had a chance to respond.

Change "Orthodox Jew" to "Muslim" and you've just explained why no Muslim
should ever feel obligated to speak out agaisnt Muslim terrorists and
suicide bombers.

Why does this eerily remind me of posts from Ben Cramer on the unmoderated
group?
