And I do. I didnt attack him for it. I didnt criticize him for it.<br />I can see him being badgered and in response retorting, yeah we all take bribes and dont let sefardim or monkeys into our schools.<br /><br />I read it as a cynical comment, and I thought it was funny. Yes, I believe it happened, because I can see it happening.<br /><br />If it didnt happen, it should have happened. It is a good retort.<br /><br />What do I think of the litvishers? I think they are like anybody else. no better, no worse. There are some great people, some good people, some bad people, mostly regular people who have successes and failings. The problem is they think they are better. I think they are just like everyone else.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-362790046503116242010-04-29T13:46:37.891+03:002010-04-29T13:46:37.891+03:00Kikar Shabbos and Bechadrei are simply quoting Haa...Kikar Shabbos and Bechadrei are simply quoting Haaretz - and the comments there show considerably more sympathy for Pindrus than you do. <br /><br />Your comments on the episode show that you do not doubt the authenticity of the episode. You are happy to follow your prejudices when reporting this "story" - it fits in to what you think of Pindrus and the Israeli litvishers and therefore you are happy to go along with it without question.<br /><br />You would have been more questioning of this episode had it involved Feiglin or even Bibi. Why can't you just admit your ingrained prejudice? Can you try and be a little more even-handed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-61119403826378677812010-04-29T12:27:24.782+03:002010-04-29T12:27:24.782+03:00Kikar Shabbos and Bechadrei are reporting on this ...Kikar Shabbos and Bechadrei are reporting on this as well. Not just Haaretz.<br />Maybe it didnt happen. I dont know. It is an interesting story being reported and I have the right to comment on it. I am not a journalist and I did not call Pindros to confirm or deny.<br /><br />I dont see why it has to be a lie, other than him bieng stupid. I can easily see it being said, as a cynical statement.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-27077033801478347272010-04-29T12:19:40.344+03:002010-04-29T12:19:40.344+03:00the minutes of the meeting...which were prepared b...the minutes of the meeting...which were prepared by the assistant of the meretz representative claiming Pindrus said this.<br /><br />Do you always believe Haaretz's reports about Feiglin? or even Bibi?
