re: #59 Obdicut

Please see CL’s post above. Why are you trying to hand-wave this aside? Why not deal with it?

What are you talking about? I’ve answered every question that you’ve asked. We’re up to 60 comments on this. This ain’t exactly a hand-wave. It’s practically a date.

And you don’t have to get angry because you didn’t watch the video.

No, that is not at all what appears. What appears is that he showed up to a rally hosted by someone who promotes anti-semitism and blessed it.

That is not keeping one’s distance. At all.

That wasn’t what was on the video, was it? The rabbi did exactly what you said he should do—

You can make treaties with them, deal with them, engage in diplomacy with them, but not make nice with them.

You push me around for 60 comments, I end up agreeing with you, and that is still not enough. Now the rabbi shouldn’t even have taken the meeting. Really? It is possible the rabbi could ask, what would be the consequence of not taking the meeting. What does O’Reilly do when people don’t come on the show? You act like this is easy, that Antisemitism can be dealt with in 15 seconds. Evidently, in the real world, it takes a little longer than 3000 years. Unless we’ve been doing it all wrong for a very long time.
