AddReply(306874,"Anyway both genders can chose good and reject evil","Adam ","Clifton, NJ  ","05/14/08","Both genders in their respective can chose to obey G-d or reject G-d. Obviosly the environment around us effect everyone as young people can be misled. I do not believe that women any more then men without good direction will make good decision and there is plenty of blame to go around for this and plenty of evidence a lack of direction and acountability causes problems for both genders. Men and women have different talents and abilities and they can use it for good or for evil or somewhere in the middle. I am not too happy that many females are puting off getting married in their 20\'s or are told it is good that they are \"independent\". For each woman that does this a Jewish man is going to be hurt usually the men at the lower end of course. G-d made it that women can\'t DO IT ALL and they wouldn\'t need a man if they could and would be arrogant.  \n  The one case where God gave woman credit in the Mishkaan with the mirrror\'s was because they made themselves attractive for their husbands so they would have relations and procreate when the men were worn out by the hard work they were under. What I find silly about this is PUTING THE MEN DOWN. We are so busy PUTING MEN DOWN we don\'t give the women the proper credit. Like this one this is an area that woman had more control then men and the ball was in their court and their behavior is a larger factor then the men\'s. Put if you are going to put men down for things that G-d gave more control to the woman you are also withholding the proper credit that woman deserve in this case by focusing on PUTING DOWN THE MEN. We don\'t blame woman because only Abraham got himself thrown into a furnance. Both genders have made different sacrifice that without them the Jewish people wouldn\'t be here today and both genders deserve credit where credit is due and the opposite as well.  \n  I don\'t approve of the Kahanist movement of JTF puting ALL THE YOUNG MEN DOWN AND CALLING THEM CRIMINALS FOR GUSH KATIF and not differenciating between the one\'s that were happy to do it and those that clearly their heart were not happy but didn\'t know where to turn. Many of these boys are very young and I\'m sorry I don\'t aprprove.  There has to be Justice but it has to tempered with Mercy and I don\'t see that here. I suspect some of the women who claim that they don\'t want to date any of these men and go along with JTF in calling them all criminal who especially  the one\'s who did it with a heavy heart who those DO DESERVE MORE MERCY IN MY OPINION likely don\'t want to date period. The women have no more right to be a Spinster then men do to remian a Bachelor. I have experienced myself women who watch movies that I don\'t think they shold be watching feel that at the drop of a hat a man isn\'t religious enough for them and never look at themselves at a mirror and somehow think they are above it all.   Even though I don\'t like what some women are doing today should I call them all women who are reducing our numbers because of their actions. THey deserve SOME blame but at the same time they really aren\'t getting good information that would help them make better decisions. ");

All other men at the drop of a hat are \"abusers\" and \"violent\". If you study communism you will understand feminism.It is very sad that ARUTZ SHEVA AS WELL DISCRIMINATES AGAINST THE RANK AND FILE JEWISH MAN AS WELL. They don\'t seem to care about the average Jewish guy. Only a few men on top they bow down to as if they are G-d himself but the average Jewish guy is considered garbage. These are very bad dynamics. I hear that interview before CBP with that disgusting Rabbi who said when he see\'s a man suffer he deserves to suffer because he isn\'t treated his wife right. He the heck does this modern day Pharoh think he is to have such hate towards other JEwish men with no evidence.

AddReply(295613,"Adam in NJ, you are twisting reality","Velvel","silver spring","04/07/08","to fit your preconceived notions and defensiveness as a seemingly castrated male.  Rav Kahane\'s movement was not radically feminist, or feminist at all.  It was a Torah movement.  You have some bizarre warped sense of injury or injustice as a man, which I can\'t seem to understand (perhaps you\'ll explain), but I\'m sure Chaim ben Pesach and the Jewish Task Force enjoy the publicity you give their movement with all these lurid tales that really won\'t accomplish what you desire (to turn people off to their - and the Rav\'s - ideas).  \n\nHere\'s a little hint.  Saying Group of men A (some group that did some thing) were wrong to do such-and-such or criminal to do such-and-such action, is not an \"attack on the male gender,\" it\'s an attack on the men who did that particular action that was wrong.  \n\nI don\'t think anybody here worships Kahane, but probably most if not all the readers of this blog are inspired by his many great actions and words.  To ignore him even now when so much of what he said came true, would be foolish.  \n\n\"For this I was banned and called vicious names \"\nGee, that sounds familiar Adam.  Sounds a lot like your own style.  You perceive insult and detriment to males from Rabbi Kahane\'s viewpoint (I haven\'t found any reasoning for this, but please inform us with proof and evidence, adam-the-slanderer), therefore you want to \"ban\" his message and alert people not to listen to him because he\'s a supposed \"man-hater\"....  So you go around cursing him on the internet calling him evil and other terrible names and urging people to \'stay away\' from his influences.  Then you complain that JTF movement banned you and called you names for your own trolling and spamming activities.  \n\nComing up at 8, Pot Calls Kettle Black, on the next Geraldo.");
AddReply(295579,"To add to comment 14 ","Adam","Clifton, NJ","04/07/08","I was involved for a little while with Chaim Ben Pesach\'s movement for a while (he worked for Rabbi Kahane) and they banned me basically because they didn\'t like my comments on you tube and I didn\'t agree with them promoting a certain woman and I posted why and what she said on her blog that I thought was problomatic. Her blog was no secret. For this I was banned and called vicious names including a homsexual, a violent man, a man in need of medication, a women hater, and of course they spoke about my issues which I mentioned which is OK but I couldn\'t fight back because I was banned. These are the behavior\'s of bullies. But the movement never gives credit to men and at the drop of a hat they call men horrible names. In Gush Katif Chaim called any male soilder involved in Gush Katif a criminal even the one\'s that did it and didn\'t want to do it but didn\'t know what to do. This is cruel. Of course he sides with the women who want to attack all these men even though they are not being put in this situation. This is what they use women for. I have also discussed Rabbi Kahane and the last time I did I spoke to a guy who supported him but admitted that Kahane promised himn to help him and used him and then threw him out and HE SUPPOTED KAHANE AND STILL DOES even though he told me he wasn\'t treated well. I don\'t see it that way. He seemed unable to work with any man who had some level of sophistication. He had men resign because they had some disagreement that shouldn\'t have led to this. It is sad that he became a martyr because all martyr\'s end up with a life of their own but overall I think a second win in the Kneset where he had to work with others would have exposed his problems but if he did ever become PM his incited arabs combined sooner or later word coming out that he just uses other Jewish men and discards them whenever he doesn\'t want them anymore would have led to men being demoralized and us losing G-d forbid because the men wouldn\'t trust him. \n\nSome of his ideas I generally agree with. But this without any morality *and obseving other Mitzvahs that are very important)is not going to work. On every Kahane board I have been on the issue of feminsim and how they treated men is TABOO. WHy can\'t they have an honest debate it. I end up being called mentally ill. WHy? Because you can\'t answer my questions. Is that what they would do if they had power. Call someone mentally ill because they disagree. If Kahane had to struggle as a husband why was he so harsh on other men. And he came from a well to do background. These are just many HONEST ISSUES I HAVE. Regardless though, he is a man and not G-d and to just blindly worhsip him is very bad and this issue in general which goes beyond Kahane of Judaism of overly feminized is not going away. It is a problem in churches as well. There is nothing in the torah of just attacking Jewish men. ANd the Rabbi\'i\'s if they want to do this don\'t demand respect from me because you are also a man and should also be punished if men just deserve to be punished. ");
AddReply(295549,"ADAM THE LUNATIC RANTS ON KAHANE AGAIN","Adam you are pathetic","land","04/07/08","This fool has ranted against Kahane on almost every place he appears on the internet.  Youtube videos, articles, blogs... anytime you see Kahane mentioned, little adam must do a google search and begin his loshon hara smear compaign, so fearful of Kahane\'s message.  \n\n\"Adam\" is clearly afraid of something.  Not to mention he sounds like a complete lunatic fool, and none of his points ever make sense or have any truth behind them.  Adam distorts Torah and \"teaches\" people on youtube, that Ezra only meant the prohibition on intermarriage in exile and not in Israel.  What an idiot.\n\nAdam also referred to Mrs. Kahane as a \"feminazi\" on another site.  Shows what a hateful criminal this guy is.  He has also repeatedly asserted this canard that Kahane didn\'t encourage Jewish birthrates when in fact HE DID encourage Jewish women to have more Jewish babies.  Adam is a fanatical defender of Arabs and can\'t stand someone insisting that a hostile 5th column leave the country.  \n\nHow can this idiot blame Rebbetzin Kahane for trying to remain optimistic in the face of immense personal tragedy?  What a reprehensible ANIMAL this beast \"adam\" is.  He shows his true colors.\n\nHey adam guess what, it doesn\'t matter who or when someone banned intermarriage in Judaism because according to halacha IT IS FORBIDDEN.  Even today.  Halacha is JEWISH LAW Adam.  Religious Jews hold by it.  Rabbi Kahane\'s point in that speech was to show the \'liberal reform lox and bagels Jews\' (like you?) that opposing intermarriage is not \'racist\' or \'bigoted\' in fact it has its ROOTS in Torah, and it is a way to protect Jewish souls and the Jewish nation, \'disproving intermarriage\' not to be looked down upon or disdained.  Yes the prohibition on intermarriage is indeed CONSISTENT with Jewish ethics, not contrary to them.  This was his point.  \n\nYou say Mrs. Kahane doesn\'t support a Kahanist.  Well gee, that would be pretty difficult considering Kach was banned, don\'t you think?  Who exactly is she going to support?  Unknown Kach members sitting in jail with no political activity?  I\'m sure she supports any righteous Jew in his mission to rectify the disastrous leadership of Israel, and Moshe Feiglin fits that mold to a T.  He is trying to push an alternative to Israeli govt suicide mission.  He may not intend a halachic state like Kahane did, but in a true district-based democracy, the Jewish people could eventually establish one if they wished to.\n\nWhat exactly is adam the lunatic\'s point that Libby Kahane supports Feiglin?  None.\n\nWhat is adam\'s point that Libby Kahane tries to remain optimistic in the face of great tragedy?  None.  Adam knows nothing about marriage or about these two people who were married, yet he tries to condemn them as a \'bad marriage\' because in Adam\'s estimation, Rav Kahane couldn\'t possibly have ever been optimistic.  Adam paints him as a cartoon character.  What a loser.  \n\nRemember when Kach was banned? There is a speech on youtube (you should know this adam, you probably spammed it with hateful comments agains the Rav) with Kahane telling his followers that all is not lost, and actually it\'s a victory because rather than 12 seats in a traitor govt, Kach will come back even stronger when they get back into Israel next time!  He said by banning us, we have won.  This will backfire on them.   Hmmmm, sounds a little.... optimistic..... don\'t ya think?\n\nAdam, go back to your counterstrike, video games, and other topics that are more in your capacity to deal with.");
AddReply(295475,"Mixed Judaism and radical feminism ","Adam ","Clifton, NJ","04/06/08","That is what I think. I know he supported the daughter of the Jewish Press getting a divorce without hearing the guy\'s side of the story. That is wrong. If you listen to the debate with Olmert(who I agree is bad news) he show no faith in the Jewish family and Jewish birth rates. Some of the arab numbers are exaggerated. NO country can survive if the dominant culture does not have healthy birth rates. The West is in trouble because of low birth rates among their women. Other video\'s of Kahane show the same of lack of faith in the Jewish family and exaggerated how many babies arabs have.  Also, I have to say I see no emotion here by LIbby and it suggests something is not right. She claims she ALWAYS SEE THE GLASS HALF FULL. It doesn\'t say this in the torah. Yet her husband was the polar opposite, extremely negative. They tell their followers we have to be realist and the situation is bad. That tells you that they didn\'t have a good marriage because they each didn\'t take the other one seriously and rather then moderating each they polarized each other. Of course Libby couldn\'t get a divorce from someone as well know as Kahane. She isn\'t even supporting a Kahanist. Feiglin!! \n\nLastly on you tube there is video Rabbi Kahane at Thunderbolt Hotel Part 3. Someone asks him on intermarriage and he claims it is biblical based on Deutoronomy 7:3. I looked it up and this is not true. It talks about the 7 nations. Later on Ezra prohibited intermarriage. Why was he lying? THe reason I bring this up is because in Israel you have people that are 1/4 Jewish but not halachically Jewish and if this was biblical there would be no flexibility. But since it isn\'t there can be some flexibility which obviously Kahane didn\'t want to bring out so he OPENLY LIED. Libby \"heard\" of Chaim Ben Pesach as she says in the 40 minute mark. What does that tell you?? I think he went to certain extremes because he had things to hide and you go to the opposite extreme to do that. I mostly believe that the arabs are a 5th column but others have believed that also but when they got in power spent most of their time dealing with their political enemies rather then dealing with the problems Israel was facing. Ben Gurian also had a vision of A GREATER ISRAEL. The way the Kahanist deal with people that have LEGITIMATE ISSUES WITH THEM is beyond dsgraceful. I have had false slander against me because I brought some issues up as I am here. That tells me that it was about power for himself but once he got in power I doubt he would have followed through. Even telling Jews to get out of America showed his lack of fear of his own G-d as does his treatement  of people who disagree. We know if the Jews are deserving G-d will protect us and if not G-d will hide his face. So it is important that JEWS FOLLOW ALL MITZVAH\'S to the best of their circumstances. But Kahane didn\'t say that because he needed Jews out of America because his ideas he knew could lead to problems. All the Rabbi\'s in Israel condemmed his interpretation of the torah which as I pointed out above he lied about the torah at times. The misandry of the movement also is not suprising and why would a decent man work for the Jewish Press for 25 years when that paper slanders Jewish men all the time.  \n\nEd. note: The conclusions you arrive at are not based on fact, but are subjective.

The book sounds fascinating.  I\'d love to read it.\n\nI just posted a comment on a story that will leave your News section any moment now, removed to give room to more recent developments. \n\n\"Lilian Vaknin, a Jewish resident of Yafo (Jaffa), was brutally attacked by an Arab neighbor on Friday during the Arab march marking Land Day. Vaknin has been victimized by her neighbors for years, yet the police are unable or unwilling to help her. As Arab attacks on Jews become commonplace, meanwhile, a century-old Jewish self-defense organisation, HaShomer, is being born again in the Galilee.\"\n\nhttp://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/125732\n\nThat story and what Rabbi Kahane stood for are closely related.  We need to ask ourselves where is his spirit now, when it\'s needed more than ever, and in Israel itself, of all places.\n\nI hope that someone will do the right thing and offer protection to Lillian, because it\'s her today, but could be anybody else\'s mother tomorrow.\n\nIt\'s amazing how I can list half a dozen Jewish organizations in Israel that are dedicated to protecting the rights and wrongs of the Arab population, yet it\'s not as easy to recall groups that show the same passion and dedication to protect the legal rights of the Jews in Israel.  I admire the heroic Yesha people who make the news constantly with their undefatigable struggle to resettle the land, but there\'s only so much that they can do without having the entire army fall on them and undo their entire life\'s work.\n\nLet\'s hope that HaShomer will be successful and keep itself independent and true to their ideals.\n\nIn any case, please A7, give us a follow up on Lillian\'s story.
