Both this so called rabbi and mein kampf have something in common : disgusting racism . But the "author" of MK , had not "ve'ahavta et re'echa..." written in his religion as this "rabbi" has . This "rabbi" gives good food to the followers of MK's author , sad .
92. Stating that the nations are evil...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.21.12)
is disgusting to our dear Ynet righteous TBers. The same ones that have no problem to bashing worse about Haredis.

Having followed your talkbacks here for some time, the "honeyed" goodness that oozes from you has the consistent taste of vinegar
96. righteous goyim are praised !
moshe ,   Tivon, Israel   (05.21.12)
The Stupid, and UNeducated curse non-Jews ! The Jewish people have always regarded righteous goyim as people of MERIT. The Arab, Pole or German that that saved Jews from the mob, from the Nazis (however few these righteous goyim were ) are STILL rignteous. -------------------------------------------Those righteous people are honored and I hope BLESSED. I apologize for aspersions that the coarse and the ignorant cast upon them.. moshe
97. Hyperbole
Sherlock Holmes ,   London UK   (05.21.12)
In Yiddish there is a lot of hyperbole. The purpose of the People Israel is to consecrate this earthly life and to keep their distance from the forces of impurity. Not many nations see their purpose as sanctity or aspire to consecration, which is why they are sometimes disparaged, but also because of their history of persecuting Jews. These points make sense in Yiddish, but come across as overstated generalisations in English and lead to tabloid journaliam and Haredi-bashing.
98. Ynet and authors agenda
Yoni the Jew ,   Jewish homeland   (05.21.12)
The agenda of publishing this article is to spread hatred of the religious and religion. This has been the agenda of Zionism to replace Judaism since it's inception. The author of this article is promoting hatred and major desecration of all that is sacred in Judaism. Shame on you

You misunderstand that “being a light unto the nations” means teaching the commandments. We are not assumed to be better than anyone else. Even a righteous non Jew (who observes the Laws of Noah) can go to heaven. We should be proud we are supposed to be a light unto the nations, NOT “THE light of the world” (your statement, my emphasis). Your statement shows false presumptions. We are not better than anyone else. But we do strive to be so by showing compassion to that same rest of the world that you and R. Shteinman denigrate. We have had many rightly-famous, true sages. R. Shteinman does not seem to be one of those. And I agree that Jerusalem is ours. Note that we share it as we allow other religions freedom of religion as long as they do not impinge on or hurt other religions. We should also do the same regarding our own relations with others.
100. # 53 Nothing to be ashamed of.
Sarah B , ,   U.S.A./Israel   (05.21.12)
He is a rabbi and deserves respect.
101. If this is as reported. He is an ignorant fool, with too
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (05.22.12)
much time on his hands. They are managing to allianate to local normal Jews as well. They represent nobody except their narrow minded, bigotted, unrepresentative,selves.
102. Actually good ideas and im Goyim
Allan Jensen ,   Sydney Australia   (05.22.12)
His advice isnt that bad really and theres truth in what he says. Countries ae weak ideals. Patriotism, flag waving, fascism. And of course he talks about the really worthy things in life family. The torah of course hes jewish. The part about the goyim, thieves I jews feel victimised by the holocaust. I cant blame them I guess. Of course that will eat you up over time. I know victims of japanese POW camps that harbour anger. Overall hes addressing a specific group the message is tailored to them. Maybe theres foregiveness in the Torah

How could that even be possible-if there is no "Palestine"

Because G-d gave us free will.Untill the Messiah comes and the Temple is built there will be no peace.
105. Rabbi Shteinman Comments
Joshua ,   USA   (05.22.12)
Just another delusional moron!
106. To #11
Joshua ,   USA   (05.22.12)
Apparently you are a delusional idiot too. Yishar Koach.
107. Non Jews are brainless thieves
Paul ,   Bangkok, Thailand   (05.22.12)
I agree with the Rabbi. The majority of the world are self serving, greedy, and easily manipulated, and have no real concept of truth. They truly are mindless sheep and useless eaters. I do believe that one day righteousness and truth will return to the earth and the unrighteous "vampire bats" that currently inhabit the earth will be no more.
108. to 55
Jennie ,   Israel/Us   (05.22.12)
Does anybody miss you anywhere,snag ? You have a lot of "nerve" to post your nazi sentiments here...Even if it would be true,do you think for even one minute, that Europe is so much better off without Jews ? Almost every country there is flooded with many milions of Islamic refugees, who taking over all the power slowly but surely..Talk about generalization, where shuld we begin ?
109. Why is this rabbi right?
Israeli 2   (05.22.12)
Because he is stating the facts. No P.C. No B.S.
110. I don't think this is accurate
Batsheva ,   USA   (05.22.12)
Come on. With all of the haredi bashing that goes on, can you expect the media to accurately depict what a haredi leader says? I don't buy it. Rav Sheitman gave the green light for haredi enlistment in forming Nachal Haredi years back. This must have been taken out of context.
111. to 53
Barney ,   USA   (05.22.12)
i do not agree with a lot of his message- except in your case
112. crazy to speek
(05.22.12)
wise to listen no one to shut up
113. #97 hyperbole
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.22.12)
The specific 'points' the rabbi made come through loud and clear. They don't make sense in Yiddish or in any other language. Blaming it on English translation and mixing in 'tabloid journalism and Hareidi bashing', neither of which is contained in this article, is an even better example of hyperbole. Any 'bashing' the rabbi gets, he deserves.
114. #98 yoni
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.22.12)
The rabbi himself is helping to spread hatred of Judaism and Jews...and Israel. He is the one promoting hatred and major desecration of all that is sacred in Judaism, in my opinion (we still are allowed our opinions, aren't we?). For shame. There is no agenda to replace Judaism with Zionism. If anything, there is a reaction to what some perceive as the opposite; the attempted replacement of secularism (or not-as-totally-orthodox-as-you-would-like-ism) with total orthodoxy. Although they are not mutually exclusive. (Ever hear of religious Zionists?)
115. Is telling the truth "bashing" ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.22.12)
And generalizing is'nt bashing either , as not many "religious leasers" have condemned those ugly acts and words . Only ONE did it openly . Not condemning is agreeing . And finding something good in evil ? the Auschwitz camp director was , as was written somewhere , a good father . Afine guy too ?
116. #93 Isaiah 5:20!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (05.22.12)
Racism and xenophobia are evil, contraventions of Torah and, when spoken in the Name are blasphemy and Khilul ha-Sheim.
117. 108 - Who likes them in Israel ??? ,...
snag ,   USA   (05.22.12)
This article is about an ugly Jewish spiritual leader's comments not about Muslims to start with but if you already on the subject off Muslims flooding other countries ask yourself what's the the reason they are there and how many because of Israeli influence in US Congress and US/Israeli conduct in the region ,...
118. Thieves and Murderers
Tom ,   Nassau, USA   (05.22.12)
Rabbi Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman is indeed honorable. According to Solemn, the sun was made to shine on the just and unjust alike. Frauds like this man have existed since the time of Enoch, Jeremiah, Dan and even after men like rabbi Shteinman hung up Yeshua.
119. Reply to 113 and 97
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (05.22.12)
Have you read the original article in Yated Neeman? As with the Ynet report of Rabbi Yosef's discussion of doctors working on Shabbos this report also picks and chooses bits that give the worst possible interpretation. The Israeli secular press does this quite often.
120. 95 Michael,if you can t digest
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.22.12)
honey,the problem is yours,not mine.
