31. One upon the time there were a couple of Haredim in Poland

I did some digging, clicked on images and what do I get? A bunch of black hatted, modestly dressed members of Jewish taliban you can see in Mea Shearim most likely living of neighbor's sweat or scams like most of them wherever they dwell - I hate to sound like broken record but if you decided and allowed to live under someone's roof, learn his language, adopt his customs, blend in and contribute, don't be a leach, try to re-arrange his furniture, impose your weird customs and life style or turn one of his rooms to isolated bunker if you don't want to be asked to kiss the door knob on the other side and get lost. San Juan La Laguna town rely on tourism, those Haredi invaders and Orthodox Lev Tahor freaks on the run from Canadian authorities despite that they just got there they already making waves by making rude comments on their tourist's supposed immodest dressing and demanding to address it by local authorities.
32. no. 29 - Jews brought morality to Pagans like you

You want to remain immoral and this is why you will keep hating Jews to the end of the world for showing you how wrong you were. On top of that Jews remind you that they are the original moral people and regardless of how many claims you make that you replace them their existence proves you wrong and it bothers you therefore you invent many libels that create Antisemitism. As a PhD you could have figured out this on your own.

Maybe we should take all the Guatemalans in America and deport them back to the shit hole they came from. I am sure most are here illegally anyway. Make them register and move them across the southern boarder.
34. seems like there is more to this than meets the eye...

While Nazi-like tactics ("Jewish lists") should never be condoned... as soon it the situation involves a sudden influx of Heredim into a Mayan town in the middle of Guatemala, you've got to wonder... what IS going on?... and what are these ultra-Orthodox doing there? We're missing some major info & background in this article... Meanwhile, Talkback #1 Katz: if heredim are involved, be careful what you ask for...
35. There's more than meets the eye here

I've been to Guatemala, including that particular village, several times. There are small but thriving Jewish communities in Guatemala City and smaller groups in Antigua, Quetzaltenango, and on Lake Atitlan. Guatemala is highly pro-Israel and anti-Semitism is largely unknown - in fact, I've been to Mayan villages with businesses such as the "Shalom Dental Clinic" and "Adonai Car Repair." The Charedim who came to this village are indeed Lev Tahor members from Canada and they are causing problems - I've heard from Jews in the country that these Lev Tahor folks are trying to coerce locals into selling them land etc. Stop assuming anti-Semitism.
36. Roman Catholics!
