A vote for Biden is a vote for Palestinians:

A vote for Trump is a vote for white supremacists

DeleteAs expected, Biden supporters are LIARS

I will not name-call you back, but I will encourage you to do your own research, especially on this exact page & site that you listed.
Delete"Last March, we looked into that issue, and experts told us there are a number of indicators that suggest white nationalism and white supremacy — and violence inspired by them — are on the rise, in the U.S. and around the world."
“There is pretty broad agreement among law enforcement in the U.S. and the European Union that violence as a result of far-right groups, particularly white supremacists, is on the rise,” said Cohen, who is currently a professor at Rutgers-Newark. “It’s a growing problem. We are seeing more hate crimes and targeted attacks by people who identify with that ideology.”
“The threat from right-wing terrorism in the United States—and Europe—appears to be rising,” wrote the report’s author, Seth G. Jones. “Of particular concern are white supremacists and anti-government extremists, such as militia groups and so-called sovereign citizens interested in plotting attacks against government, racial, religious, and political targets in the United States.”
So, I will repeat, in the past 4 years the danger from white supremacy has grown in leaps and bounds in the US. I believe that another 4 years of Trump would continue to further & enable this trend.

Why is 'in talks' mean that a vote for Biden is a vote for Palestinians?
DeleteEvery incoming administration has a transition team, and they need to deal with many different issues, some quite distasteful. They will be talking to leaders of many countries, NGOs, organizations and companies. They will eventually end up dealing with them, in many different ways.
Trump's connection to white supremacy is complicated. He has condemned them, but at other times he has acted in ways that makes THEM feel like he agrees with some of their points. That is why they are more active now. Now, it is possible that he doesn't know about the effect he has on these groups, he may be just clueless and ignorant. So instead of being evil, he is merely clueless. I don't see much of a difference between the two.
Remember all the attacks against frum jews in brooklyn before covid started? Those weren't perpetrated by white supremacists.
DeleteThe rise of white supremacy may be an issue, but if you don't think the increased violence on the left is a far greater concern then you're being willfully ignorant.
Even if the increased violence on the left was a proven fact, it is nothing like the other side.
DeleteWhite supremacy threatens Yidden directly, leftist extremists are not really our problem.
And the leftist violence also only reared up under Trump. He has brought out the worst in this country, on both sides, and that is why he must be stopped. We need someone who will stop trying to inflame people and pit citizen against citizen.
Only Biden!
Anyone whose head isn't in the sand realizes that the greatest threat to Jews is not from "white supremacists"
DeleteAnd President Trump has not been in touch with the Palis since they rejected his peace proposal. He made them an offer, they refused to come to the table, now he is working in peace with Israel and the rest of the region, and eventually the Palis will come around.
Very different approach from Biden, who took hoards of cash from Islamist bundlers according to JihadWatch
Eventually they will come around. Like a miracle. From 15 terror attacks it will go down to zero. There will be sites in WalMart parking lots to take care of everything, and then nobody will die (anyone remember this foolishness?). The Israelis will take some bleach, and no more Palestinian problem.
DeleteBelieve what you want, but remember it is just a belief, not a fact or even an opinion.
איך חיים בהכחשה כזה?
ReplyDeleteאין אף אחד שלא יודע ששיחקו עם המספרים, פרסמו את זה בפומבי. ועכשיו רוצים לשקר שהכל אינה אלא אנטישימיות?! ועוד מאמינים בזה?!
ואל תגיד לי שזה רק לפנים, וכולם יודעים שזה לא ככה. אינו כן, אלא בכל פורום פנימי נהיה אמונה חזקה שכל מה שקורה במדינת נ.י. אינו אלא אנטישימיות. זה האורתודכסיה החדשה שכולנו צריכים להאמין בה

צודק אבל הפוליטקאים גם רוצים שישחקו עם המספרים להראות שהם שולטים על הנגיף
Deleteטוב ויפה, אבל אל תספרו בתמימות שהכל אינו אלא אנטי-שימיות בשעה שאתם משקרים ביודעים.

ואל תנסו לעשות את זה כענין בין הישיבות ותלמוד תורה כנגד כולם, נגד חוק עקשני ובלתי מובן. אם תפסיקו לעשות חתונות ואסיפות למיניהם, ותתמקדו אך ורק בלימוד התורה, נאמין לך

ReplyDeleteDrastic drops in the positivity like the one in Orange County are highly unusual, said Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. She said the situation may reflect a lesson epidemiologists have learned from countless previous outbreaks and pandemics.
A lot of good it did to have the Magadrag and publicize videos of frum jews blocking traffic and acting out in public running on open highways with trump flags.

Vote out the vaad.
ReplyDeleteVote straight down column A
Coles and Gross are running major ads with TLS. Ignore the noise. Vote ONLY Column A! Mike D'Elia and Hector Fuentes need your votes!
ReplyDeleteNow they wake up. Wondering if they have info of those who already voted
DeleteThe vaad is on the board of elections
VOTE republican straight down don’t listen to the Vaad they are a self serving organization that have a limited amount of organizations and individuals who gain but most of us lose out by their tunnel made decisions just look at your taxes go up every year non stop and the limited or non at all service you receive back for the taxes we pay ignore them and vote your pocket book not theirs
ReplyDeleteIf they dare ticket anyone, we should all plant ourselves on the parkway for hours in peaceful protest
ReplyDeleteThey have all the videos posted by all the frum websites and will use it to give tickets. Check out twitter how they share the footage.
ReplyDeleteTroopers blocked the exit on the parkway causing traffic.
ReplyDeleteWould murphy rather we loot shoot people and burn down storrs?
Did Murphy forget about the thoudands of elderly who died in nursing homes because he forced covid19 patients.
He is the one lecturing about a peacful protest unbeliavable
What is unbelievable is that someone somewhere thinks that this is a response to committing chilul Hashem on a global scale (yes, pictures of obviously frum people running around on the parkway were broadcast all over the world). At least we didnt shoot or loot. Or Murphy killed old people so its all good.
DeleteNot to mention the utter stupidity of recording yourselves committing traffic offenses, license plates clearly visible and then compounding the stupidly by sharing those videos all over social media.
Our chachomim have warned us against participating in the parties of Achashveirosh. Why are frum yidden proudly jumping up and down like hyenas at MAGA rallies or running up the Parkway with Trump flags? What are we doing? Is this wackiness going to get someone to vote who wasn't before? What's the toeles? When the post-election SHTF, it's best if the yidden are out of sight. Stay safe! Don't be foolish again!
