61. To #55 Edithann
John ,   Alaska   (09.11.11)
In answer to your questions: I am here in Alaska because it is where my job is and is where I enjoy living. I am too old and way too out of shape to be active duty US military. I am probably too old and way too out of shape to join the IDF. As for your first comment, the article says: "We won’t tolerate these behavior toward children of Ethiopian descent," Petah Tikva Municipality spokesman Hezy Hakak said Wednesday. You paint the entire country with a rather broad brush. It's a bit like an Israeli saying you are an anti-Semite because some US citizens are part of the Christian Identity sect. Although your posts show your anti-Semitism on their own, so the analogy breaks down, but I hope you understand the comparison: blaming the whole for the actions of a part.
62. Chabad School/ Anti Falashas
David Carver ,   San Jose, CA USA   (09.11.11)
This is racism as bad as antisemitism. If I had my way Chabad would not get a penny of assistance. It is time to show that these ultra-ortodox belong in the 14th century world of ignorance, of superstition, and weird beliefs, certainly not in arational outlook.
63. #55 Every country has stupid bigots
Ish Kabibble ,   Delancey   (09.11.11)
Look in the miror, see yourself as others see you It is NOT a pretty sight
64. avoiding idol worship
Nat ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.11.11)
Even though the article refers to Chabad as 'religious' it's become an idol-worshipping cult, not much different from xtianity. Perhaps God hardened the hearts of these people to protect innocent Ethiopian JEWISH children from this cult.
65. Chabad is an evil cult & false religion
Yonatan ,   New York, USA   (09.11.11)
Chabad has long ago broken off from Judaism. They worship a false god known as Menachem Mendel Schnierson. He was a scam artist who indirectly conned thousands of innocent Jews into believing he was Messiah and G-d (without even proclaiming it!). His mindless followers are a bunch of brainwashed robots of the worst kind who's devotion lies not to G-d or the Jewish people but to their own sick cult only. These insidious con-men infiltrate communities across the world spreading their lies and false religion to the weakest and most vulnerable members of Jewish society in order to proselytize and convert them to their sick religion. They are also extreme racists and have been harassing the black community of Crown Heights for years, beating and assaulting any black they find "in their hood". Since they believe in a "rebbi-god" who died yet will one day return from the grave in the second coming, they are no different from Christians and need to be regarded as such. They need to be banned from all shules, barred from minyanim, and excluded from our communities.
66. Ethiopians not allowed.
David ,   Efrat Israel   (09.10.11)
Quite frankly - DISGUSTING!! We have become racialists.
67. To #65 Yonatan
John ,   Alaska   (09.11.11)
It's sad to hear about the Chabad people. One neat thing about Jews is that they are family, even if they have non-Jewish beliefs, like being athiests. Perhaps an effective way of responding to them is to gently but firmly help them to return to Ha'Shem. Although I am an optimist who is quite convinced that all of G-d's chosen will one day be faithful to Him. Your post raises a question that weighs heavily on my mind. Do you exclude Christians from your communities?
68. chabad and their bigotry
Shimon Ben-Armon ,   Kansas City USA   (09.12.11)
Us Sephardim have been in doubt of the chasidic khazars (kazariki) for years and doubt their Jewishness. They don't even eat rice at Pesach. What did they do before the Spanyols brought potatoes from the new world. They ate mierda and still do. The Ethiopians are from the line of David real Jews!!!! Not a bunch of hateful, ignorant cultists. May G-d forgive you and bless you for you no not what you do. You might as well become catholics with your hate.
69. Ashamed
Sharon ,   Toronto   (09.13.11)
They should be ashamed of themselves to do this. We are supposed to be Or La'goyim and set an example for the rest of the world. I am modern orthodox and go to a Chabad shul although I do not fully agree with their standings on many subjects. To fix the world, you have to start in your own home, it is an atrocity to give people more reason to scorn the Jewish people when they come up with enough unjust reasons themselves.
70. chabad
shmulie ,   FT. LAUDERDALE   (02.29.12)
it't time that chabad awoke to recognizing all g-d created people as equal not only white jews.
