Anti-Semitic leaflets turn up anew in Valley <(Passion)

I find the Rabbi's assumption that Christians who saw the Passion did the graffiti insulting. But I have been insulted before and can handle it...its not like a bus suicide bombing..that can hurt.

Andover - Massachusetts?

Rabbi Goldstein leaps rather quickly to a conclusion for which he has no evidence. might it not be just as reasonable to believe that Goldstein himself was the perpetrator since he is the one gaining from it?

Everyone seems ready to say "How can you blame Mel?!" without realizing that Rabbi Goldstein didnt. He said it was, in his opinion, possibly a backlash inspired by the ADL criticism of the movie, not by the movie itself. Still no evidence to link this garbage to either situation, however.

Islam, which is the manifestation of every liberal's nightmare, is tollerated by the left because Islam is anti-American. The enemy of the left's enemy is their friend.

[SJackson]

Not sure why you pinged me.

Those in the article who attribute this to the movie, they're morons, dangerous, because they miss the nature of our collective enemies.

That aside, presuming we're talking about the White Revolution of Russellville, Arkansas (won't link them, but you can find them if you can add a www. and a .com) they're bad guys. Unless this didn't happen at all, which I doubt, they're not to be compared to Tawana Bradley, any more than it has anything to with "The Passion", no matter how aggravated you might be about the statements linking them to the movie.

I find it interesting that yesterday there was another thread about an "anti-semitic" incident. In that one also, the rabbi on hand was quick to push blame for the incident toward Gibson. Is it coincidence that in both cases the rabbi would be such evil bigots, or are a large percentage of rabbis so? Or is there something else afoot? Are we seeing a campaign of artificial incidents set up for a particular purpose? If so, what might that purpose be? Gibson will have hundreds of millions in the bank after "Passion". Have some rabbis and lawyers put together a plan to sue for a chunk of that money? Stay tuned.

Shermy, you need to explain more.

I suspect PETA/Veggie/Enviro types. There was an article some way back about this happening in Europe - PETA types using religious food laws as a source and excuse for the bigotry.

I doubt the folks at Elohim City worry about how meat is procured...

[SJackson]

There's no link to the film at all. These guys are your standard Jewhaters of the white supremecist variety. You can find their site easily. To confuse what is likely a straight out and out antisemitic incident with the film is despicable. The Rabbi may be right about these guys capitalizing on the controversy, but he played right into their hand.

[SJackson]

BTW, don't you love the investigator, Lt. James D. HASHEM.

Ahha. Not the movie you say. Backlash about the movie. I thought only Democrats parsed sentences this way.

[dinok]

"Have some rabbis and lawyers put together a plan to sue for a chunk of that money?"

I hope to God not...but I know what world we live in. I actually think the lefty underground soldiers...yes the same idiots we see at anti-capitalist and globalization rallies are agitating Jewish democrat voters like they did with the Black Church burnings in the 90's.

Good point, but one that will not be noticed by most in the media coverage.

Most Rabbis are bigots as you note. In fact most Jews are. They run the world, and this is just part of the plot. Something is afoot. Jews, lawyers, rabbis, money.

Then again, you might well be a "White Revolution" supporter. They're a bunch of *cumbag white supremecists, the kind that give Christians a bad name, other than the Jew hating mud people hating kind of course.

I look forward to the evidence of a conspiracy which I'm sure will be forthcoming.

Have you contacted Lt. Hashem with your information? Have you contacted the FBI?

Or are you too busy for that?

"It is obviously very offensive, very upsetting," Hashem said.

Wow. How heavy is that.

[per loin]

Yes. The Dems are past masters at herding their black and Jewish cattle into the "correct" voting chutes.

[demnomo]

As a Christian Believer, I am not suprised, nor do I find it absurd that Christianity is constantly belittled, ridiculed and attacked by many people. Jesus predicted that it would be so.

I used to be somewhat agnostic myself. Like you, I wondered why most Christians, who for the most part appeared to be decent, law-abiding citizens, were the subject of such scorn and suspicion.

Grant it, there have been and still are so-called "Christians" who behave like self-righteous fools. In the past 2,000 years, several so-called "Christian" movements have caused suffering to others, but that was the exception not the norm. Any evil done towards a fellow human being should not have been done in Jesus' name. Those who did so bore rotting fruit and were NOT following the teachings of Christ.

I agree, but it also seems to me that Rabbi Goldstein is also either playing into Foxman's hands, or doing some legwork for him.

Coming on the heels of Rabbi Daniel Cohen's remarks linking the Denver synagogue vandalism to "The Passion of the Christ" despite having zero evidence, it seems to me that more level-headed rabbis ought to remind their brethren to be more circumspect, rather than fanning flames of anti-Christian hostility as soon as someone sticks a microphone in their faces.

Foxman and the ADL have been grossly irresponsible in how they've dealt with and generated the controversy surrounding Gibson's film, and they have too many imitators.

I've noted no such thing, but I do note that your words are vile bigotry. Please correct your conduct. Such bigotry is not acceptable on this forum.

[SJackson]

He's either stupid, easily influenced by Abe, playing into Abes hands, or enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. And face it, a hate group committing a hate crime isn't news, blame it on the movie, that's something else.

You'll notice that at #37 I brought up the comments of the Rabbi at the Denver synagogue as well, though not quit so conspiratorially.

I think the comments of both rabbis are wildly premature, at the best, and only make harmonious relations between Christians and Jews more difficult at a time when there is no need for strife between the two faiths. Neither rabbi has any evidence of a connection between these anti-Semitic incidents and the film "The Passion of the Christ."

However, neither do you have any evidence of a conspiracy between these two rabbis, or any others.
