Not like Isreal is trying to conquer? "Greater Isreal"?

Naomi, you know it's not racist to say borders shouldn't be wide open. You know it's not "phobic" to say children shouldn't be told they're born in the wrong body, those are tactics to shut down thought.

This "new wave of anti-Semitism" is more people understand what Isreal is doing - which is psychopathy that makes "narcissism" quaint in comparison.

Whatever real anti-Semitism is around, it's probably people who have long held bigotries. I don't know where this is happening, I trust it exists, but what's far more common is when empathy for victims of Isreal's brutality is conflated with "hatred towards all Jews".

Saying "anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism" ensures that all sensible criticism is lumped in the bucket of anti-Semitism. The people being ruthlessly attacked for criticising Isreal, like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and others, have all said multiple times they don't blame Isreal's actions on all Jews.

When people conflate honest observation with being hateful - like observing vaccine damage with being "anti-science", it makes conversation impossible ... demonizes the truth, and frames talking about crimes against humanity as worse than the crimes ...

Rabbi Friedman is talking about cruelty to animals, and compassion ...

What does he think about cruelty to and with animals, like training dogs - microbially dirty yet spritually and emotionally sacred beings - to anally penetrate prisoners?

Is it adultery if the IDF soldiers who rape prisoners with objects are married?

This is NOT a commentary on Jewish people. It's a commentary on what the gov't and military are doing of a country who is using our country to ruin the world ...

He's saying Happy people don't hate people they don't know.

Um ... yep, that's true!

So please stop accusing people telling the truth about the crimes of a country who has too much influence over ours, as hating people they don't know.

Because often it's not true.

Whoever wakes up every day simmering in hatred towards Any race or religion, sure, that's toxic, that's wrong, and it spells unhappiness for them and those they hate.

But it's not hateful to say Isreal as a project, a country, a military, (not a land or a people), is doing this ~

"The political discourse that dehumanised Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, by describing them as “Amalek[1]” and “human animals,” has shaped practices and rules of operation within Israeli detention centres and prisons, which have been transformed into spaces isolated from oversight, akin to legal and physical ‘black holes,’ foremost among them the Sde Teiman detention camp. However, this transformation did not emerge from nothing; rather, it was based on a long history of severe and unaccountable violence against Palestinians and an institutional structure of oppression and subjugation that deprives them of their rights and systematically reclassifies Palestinians as a “security threat” to justify their permanent exclusion from legal protection.

The 7th of October 2023 marked a moment of “great security breakdown” that gave Israeli security forces a “blank cheque” to bypass previous restrictions and remove the remaining formal legal protections for Palestinian prisoners and detainees, particularly those from the Gaza Strip. This made detention centres areas of total impunity, intentionally operating outside the law and avoiding oversight or accountability.

Almost all prisoners and detainees were cut off from visits, legal aid, and international oversight. The International Committee of the Red Cross was also prevented from accessing them. Laws like the “Unlawful Combatants Law” and others were used to remove procedural protections. Combined with enforced disappearances, this created a system that enabled ongoing torture, sexual violence, and other abuses against Palestinians. Detention centres became zones of immunity and impunity, where crimes happened without independent scrutiny or meaningful accountability.

This report details widespread patterns of sexual violence against detainees in the Gaza Strip, serving as a tool to break both individual and collective will and inflict serious physical and psychological harm. The documented practices involved direct sexual assault, assaults with instruments, and torture focused on the genitals. They also included organised displays like filming and the collective presence of security personnel during the assaults, which strengthens the evidence of these crimes being institutional and systematic. These violations are compounded by detention policies that result in serious and long-lasting physical and psychological harm, including injuries that cause permanent disability and impacts on the reproductive health of certain victims.

The risks extend beyond the occurrence of violations to the mechanisms that enable and obscure them, with evidence pointing to medical facilitation or cover-ups in some cases, undermining professional ethics and violating the safeguards imposed by international law for the protection of detainees.

In a troubling parallel, the report uncovers the Israeli medical system’s role in militarising medicine, with certain medical personnel shifting from caregivers to facilitators of torture’s legitimisation and continuation. This extends beyond denying life-saving treatment or participation in painful medical procedures without adequate anaesthesia or pain relief. It also includes issuing certificates of “fit for interrogation,” hiding torture injuries in medical records, and forcing detainees to cooperate with interrogators to get treatment. This pattern is further supported by documentation practices that obscure the perpetrator’s identity and hide doctors’ details, making it difficult to trace, preserve evidence, and hold individuals accountable."

This makes me embarrassed to be Jewish .. it doesn't make me hate other Jewish people I don't know.

The fact that there's a coordinated media operation to demonize people who have problems with this .. https://tlavagabond.substack.com/p/israels-plot-to-turn-lebanon-into?utm_source=publication-search

is more of a problem than calling out that brutality, and not wanting to go to war and starve the world for it ..

https://dailynewsfromaolf.substack.com/p/geofenced-for-jesus-israeli-propaganda?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=3zl5l&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email - lots of media that conflates noticing what's real with hating an entire group of people comes from this ecosystem ...

Meant with love ... and sadness ...

You know what would be great? If you have a few talking points after a video of highlights of an interview.

I'd love to watch this but I get about 15 mins a day spare and just can't watch long videos.

Ed's avatar

Wonderful interview.

Steve Vasseur's avatar

44 years of research leaves me with most of them along with being accompanied by the greatest writers on earth who also concur with the findings. The few, not the many/sheep see the truth. Good luck in life.

Steve Vasseur's avatar

Check out Luke's, bring them hither and have them slain, those who do not follow me, so you think that Jew wasn't violent then learn to read your damn book from an educated stand point without subjective nonsense weighing you down. Him and Paul also condoned slavery, sure he is god.

Johnny b good's avatar

Bahahaha

That all you got….

A parable…

Do you even understand the context? Obviously not.

Slavery back then(bondservant) is no different than an employee today. They weren’t forced slaves in chains genius. They were willing servants working for a roof over their head and food just like most people today.

Boy are you uneducated….

I have a few thoughts so far. One is about saving the children from the non-Jewish orphanages. It is wonderful to place an orphan in a loving home and what a brave, great man Rabbi Friedman was. One might argue that he partnered with the orphanage in saving the children. They presumably did what they could to shelter, feed and clothe the children at a time of great need. Their next big need was a family.

Another thought relates to your ad for ivermectin. I have heard several accounts saying the human formulation is being stopped at the border in New Zealand. The mindset of officialdom is still very closed. It is painful to see so many around us dying of cancer and a possible treatment being rejected, untried.

Another I wonder…. Rabbi Freidman speaks of his family moving o the US and settling in New York. He spoke of integration into a very different culture. I was asked by a new immigrant, “how do I integrate into kiwi culture?” I found the question very difficult to answer because our lovely government has been importing people from massively different backgrounds. This particular man happened to be a Muslim man from Afghanistan. I value his honesty and I have seen he is kind and loves his little daughter. I wonder what the rabbi would advise. I guess his dad moved to a very Jewish area of New York. What would he have done if he had moved into a Christian town? Do you have thoughts Naomi?

Ha,

“YouTube’s top rabbi”

Meaningless.

Rachel I's avatar

Rabbi Manis Friedman is absolutely incredible. He has changed my life and perspective on so much, I am so grateful to him as well as Rabbi Singer. Thank you for highlighting him.

Susan Bennett's avatar

Thank you! Most comments posted here are completely vile and evil like their posters. Judaism is about following the 10 Commandments, fighting for freedom agsinst evil oppressors like the pharoah of Egypt, and being a good, honest, ethical person. Evil posters go to and burn in hell.

VeraOmua's avatar

& just like the rabbi said…haters must really hate their lives.

Johnny b good's avatar

It’s actually the opposite. You’re literally “dead wrong”. (For all eternity)

”Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.“

‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“being a good, honest, ethical person” only gets you a ticket to hell. Of course those things are necessary but there is only one ticket to heaven and that’s from the Son.

Susan Bennett's avatar

Yoyr posts are hate mongering lies. Jesus was Jewish and loved his people. You desecrate what he stood for. You'll find out when you die. Can't debate with evil. I am done interacting with you.

Johnny b good's avatar

It’s all in the scriptures. Not my words, Gods Word.

”Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.“

‭‭II John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

He rejects JESUS so he lacks truth.

I like most of what you've covered over the years and have a few of your books in my library but as an Atheist, I find that any religion, especially the Jewish big 3 (Christianity, Judaism and Muslim (Islam) are all a front designed to control humanity with. The most violent books I have ever studied are the O.T., Quran and N.T. not to mention what the Cabal and Haftorah's have to say about Gentiles and other races which drove me to become an Atheist in the first place and the Vedic books along with theirs. Sorry if I upset the applecart but I would live chat anyone who thinks they can defend their content to the contrary, cheers, Steve. Some Mark Twain to Thomas Paine and Nietzsche will settle your theories down concerning this rabbi in a hurry. Put James Joyce in the mix as well.

Rachel I's avatar

Not upset, at all. Open for listening and discussion. I also agree with you that covid was a scam. I have read the book of Ezkiel, but I am not sure I am following you there? And there is plenty in the Talmud taken out of context about the Gentiles.

Rachel I's avatar

No, the God of the universe was not a Jew named Jesus. God is not a man, I agree with you. If your neighbor came into your home and murdered half your family and then continued to threaten that they would murder you and the rest and wipe you off the land, what would you do?

Steve Vasseur's avatar

God, an alien delusion, set up pre-Sumer to ensure the human upgrades/slaves kept in line. The problem with the entire term, god, is that it is not only unproven but entirely unnecessary for us to follow or adhere to any manner since the thousands of versions available, are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. If anything, they are the cause of most of our problems down here. Read some Sitchins and Tellinger for openers, then analyze Ezekiel's vison, the book of Enoch all the way to the Inca's Popul Vu and you'll soon discover what the god scam (like the covid hoax) is really all about. The Neanderthals did just fine without any gods and so would we, Yoda. Keep up the fight for knowledge and truth.

Sounds like you have all the answers…Steve?

Steve Vasseur's avatar

44 years of research and you may be correct on that assertion.

The OT was taken away and nailed to the cross.

”having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.“

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There is literally no possibility that the New Testament is “The most violent books I have ever studied”.

That’s pretty much proof that you haven’t studied it. The only violence is that from the Jews and Romans towards Jesus. Much different situation than the OT…

Steve Vasseur's avatar

What did your Jesus demand in Luke of anyone who didn't follow his teachings? To have them murdered, god my ass and quote another source other than the damn Jewish bible if you're capable of such a feat. Read Russ Kick's (an Atheist Jew) Everything you know about god is wrong and see what you think then about the invisible man in the sky theories, good luck. Read my comments above and worry less about gods and more about your own species. John 10:34 if you must quote from the N.T.

Rachel I's avatar

Rabbi Singer has some great videos on answers about the OT and slavery. Additionally, the survival of the Jewish people and nation is proof for God. He says he will never make an end to the Jewish nation. Although they are small they have survived over and over again when other nations and peoples have tried to annihilate them.

Atheism is a believe system centered around the knowledge of a God or no God. It's your 'religion' and you're very welcome to have it as your core 'faith'. Always remember if there really was no God there won't be any atheists. ALL of man's 'governance' is designed to control or regulate the masses whether it be a theocracy or communism. In 'theory' both have their merits.

Steve Vasseur's avatar

Its not a belief Gus, its a way of life without the burden of gods which no one here has ever seen outside of what some Jewish book stated was around. They are all stories and many of them were just that, stories. Allegorical, metaphorical, historical to literal but none provable to any of us. George Carlin hit it on the head many years in his comic skit against religion. Sheep. What is the image and likeness of a god mean to you, 'and now the man has become one of US, (plural and not the trinity since that wasn't around until the council of Nicaea 325 years later) to know good and evil (EVIL)' which is what your Anunnaki/gods co-creators were and we inherited their qualities which begs the question why we would follow any god format. And I Moses walked with god (Yahweh) and his stature was that of a man. Learn to read and analyze the book properly before you utter un-related nonsense concerning it. All of our best minds from scientists to philosophy were written by Atheists and yes, even your X-mas songs were written by them as well, do your home work before making statements in class that are not relatable or coherent with the facts you missed. I don't dislike people who follow Jewish diatribe but I do wish they'd learn to research and construct arguments based on facts, not fallacies. Most Christians I know haven't figured out the first 3 chapters in Genesis let alone the rest of the damn book and its 4750 versions of interpretation. The palimpsests arranged much of it if you know who they were. No one has any idea of what the original books contained and all we have is the watered down versions before Guttenberg invented the printing press around 1440 and even then, the Jesuits had poisoned the facts. No hard feelings, but every comment above I responded to failed the course and not one except Rachael made mush sense. Re-read them and the references before blindly throwing subjective whims and wishful thinking as your defenses against the unknown forces of matter and energy. Good luck to Canadians who still exercise the vote which is another exercise in futility they still believe in, Yoda. (Give them a light and they'll follow it anywhere, F.T. 1972)
