    1. How is that a problem? Why is life a zero-sum game?

      It is the opposite. When their machers realize what they have to gain from joining up with us, they will make it their business to lower the hate levels. Have you noticed that virtually no Arab country has taken the Palestinian side?

    2. Virtually no Arab country has taken the Palestinian side??? What are you smoking?

    3. In this past war, not one Arab country has come to the assistance of the Palestinians. The Houti rebels in Yemen have done a little, but not too much, and that is it.
      Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait, have done crickets. Not sent any money, supplies, soldiers, or any act of war against Israel.
      Why is that?

    4. Few Arab countries have come to the assistance of the Palestinians because they aren't interested in dying for Hamas. Why would they want to? What does Ahmed living in UAE have to gain by doing so? It isn't a principled opposition

    1. I'm no Schnall supporter but anyone who voted for him (myself excluded) did so knowing that he was going to vote with the Democratic agenda. Including raising taxes. He did not claim otherwise.

  8. The farbisinkite in this comment section is nauseating.
    Will it pass...probably not. Is it a good idea...probably yes. Is Avi Schnall the right person to be representing us? Possibly not, but at the moment it is what it is. Fargin just a little bit, give him whatever little credit is due and move on until the next election season starts.

  9. They deserve every bit of criticism and farbisenkeit after what they have done to Lakewood
    Fooling the electorate with false promises pushing them like sheep to the polls while the ones in charge pulling the strings laugh all the way to the bank as they divert all public funds intended to help the klal and use it for themselves. This game has been going on in Lakewood for a long time.
    Avi Schnall brought this upon himself with empty promises of free tuition

    1. I don't think he ever promised free tuition . It's a big gvir who thinks he can make this happen .

      Delete
    2. Did you forget about the campaign???
      They promised the world if schnall gets elected
      Almost everyone that went to vote was of the belief that they won't have to pay anymore tuition.
      They sold that to the gullible olam straight up

      Delete
    3. I don't know about campaigns ,but I don't remember Schnall promising that. Please post any quote from Schnall to that effect.

      Delete
    4. He strongly insinuated it.It was the single big issue on his platform

      Delete
    5. Stop trying to walk back what Shnall campaigned for. The entire message was FREE TUITION
      it is looking like gneivaas daaas hatzibbur on a large scale

    6. The commenters insisting that Schnall promised free tuition are shameless shakranim. He ran on a platform of tuition RELIEF, not free tuition. If you can't discern the difference between the two, that's your problem. And for those who claim he ran on free tuition, if you can find a single instance of Schnall or his campaign saying he'll get FREE tuition, I'll give you 1000 bucks. It never happened. If you want to debate if he's good or bad, fine. Don't stoop to lying - it just makes you look like the bad guy, not him.

    7. You are a shameless Shakran.
      It's not only the commenters but most of Lakewood was fooled into thinking they are getting free tuition.
      The marketing for schnalls campaign made everyone think that there will be vouchers and free tuition it wasn't flat out denied. When there was some push back they tried climbing down the tree but the narrative around lakewood was never debunked and the olam was taken advantage of and bullied to the polls with pptentialy false promises.
      It's looking more like one of the biggest con jobs pulled on the olam.
      Don't try to cover up for what went on

    8. People can fool themselves all they want.

      In his interviews Avi said quite clearly that it was never about free tuition. The marketing said 'relief', which never meant free. Free is impossible, even in those states that have vouchers, Limudei Kodesh (the greatest expense of all) cannot be subsidized by the government.

      He isn't responsible for the nonsense people convince themselves of.

      Delete
    9. Him and the marketing team are fully responsible they knew what people were thinking.

    10. Avi said quite clearly that it was never about free tuition. The marketing said 'relief',... That is the way a politician talks. Reading the Schnall billboards on route 9 they clearly conveyed the message that he would bring free or heavily reduced tuition. I guess now we are at a point that his implied promise to widen route 9 isn't on the table anymore (yes I know he never explicitly promised to widen route 9 either. His campaign ads still implied it)

  10. A similar tax credit tuition scholarship bill has been introduced in the NJ legislature for almost the last 20 years . On May 13 , '10. Almost '14 years ago , there was even a rally in Trenton with thousands of Lakewood students in attendance and members of our community testifying in favor and it ended with a 6 to 0 Commitee vote in favor . But the bill ultimately went nowhere because the teachers union won't let the politicians vote for it . Then the governor was a Republican who was in favor of the bill. And it still didnt pass. Let's see if this time is different .

  13. The Office of Legislative Services will be emailing me a copy of the text this afternoon. I will post it. Remember, in 2011, the bill had bipartisan support but got killed in committee. There is little chance that any substantial amount of money will be allocated for nonpublic schools in the state with the second best, if not best, public school system.

  14. They're aiming for a vote in June, according to Teach NJ
