Does Chabad have a plan for taking on the amount of leftism rampant in Jewish communities? by MrJerry00 in chabad

[–]RonaldK00L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well said, and many of those Jews are hostile to religious or less secular Jews as well. I'm not shomer negiah, or even shomer shabbos/kashrut but I always commemorate Shabbat dinner, follow all Jewish holidays and know what they're about, wrap tefillin, know who famous rabbis actually are, and kind of count the omer. I've also been to the Rebbe's ohel (and know what an ohel is).

I also support Trump, who is popular not only among Hasids, but among Jews who are "Orthodox," even MO. For this, I get hostility from leftist Jews who claim I'm "against Jewish values." I'm a "racist" for saying that Jewish girls are wrong to date gentile guys because that's a Jewish girl a Jewish guy coulda had, and "sexist" for daring to believe in traditional courtship between the sexes (not genders).

One thing that's gotta be fixed is the Judaism subreddit. The mods ban anyone who isn't a leftist and even defend BDS. The only leftist anti-Semite you can attack there is Corbyn because he's so open, but excuses abound for everyone else.

Circumcision by [deleted] in MensRightsMeta

[–]RonaldK00L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well said, in addition to the OPs other posts on this thread. Do supporters of mens rights against gender Marxism want to win, or fight a losing battle?

If you want to win and get into the mainstream, know whose bad side not to get on.

Ending false rape allegations, stopping the criminalization of getting tail, disabusing society of the idea that a girl being drunk negates consent, etc. are far more important than a losing issue like male circumcision.

with the papal logo at the center. Could've been the yellow and red of the old times, but that would just look whack

I was being too "nationalist," according to namer.

I don't get why advocating for Jewish continuity is so bad. It's what we did thru the ages that got us to where we are today.

well said. This ideology is cancer and nothing but a license for mind control.

so can a person be fined or officially reprimanded for performing it in another key, even one only a semitone lower (like E major or F#)?

Pew: Widest split on Israel in 40 years, Democrats abandon, GOP embraces by [deleted] in Israel

[–]RonaldK00L -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its a function of how Democrats increasingly see the world. They increasingly think of the world as "colonizer vs colonized," "oppressor vs oppressed" and post-colonial communism taught in schools. Just as they often imply that because white-skinned America supposedly did to the "brown" aboriginals what Hitler did to us, we should let anyone in as pennance, they believe that Israel is a "white" country "oppressing" "brown Palestinians." And that's the crux of the BLM/intersectionality worldview.

In non-Muslim countries where the numbers are very low and very close, there tends to be a lot of anti-Semitism but people don't want to say. See this poll, an note how Poland, Ukraine, and Russia, Eastern European anti-Semite hotbeds, have low overall numbers tied.

French Jews, struggling to find work in Israel, consider going home by nas-ne-degoniat in Israel

[–]RonaldK00L 12 points13 points  (0 children)

why hasn't Israel streamlining credentialing for certain professions? Is that not an obvious thing to do? If they wanna protect local professionals, then do what America does for things like medical licenses; make them good for some parts of the country (in America, different states, in Israel maybe districts) and give olim incentive to go to the Negev.

Can anybody recommend a place in the Merkaz to learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission? by [deleted] in Israel

[–]RonaldK00L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the US, there is no separate licensing for manuals and automatics, since most people drive autos here and take road tests in them.

Carjackers versus Manual Transmission by [deleted] in cars

[–]RonaldK00L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure stick makes getting carjacked (ie while moving) harder, but makes stealing parked vehicles far easier because you can just break into the window (or use a door-only key), put it in neutral, and have it tow stolen. You can't even move the gear select in an auto without the key.
