An organization representing over 2,000 Orthodox American rabbis and other Orthodox community leaders issued a statement Friday morning condemning entertainment giant Disney, after the company protested a recently passed bill in Florida barring teachers from having certain conversations with young children on issues of sexuality and their reproductive organs.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law this week, prohibiting classroom instruction in sexual orientation or gender identity through third grade, and requires that parents have access to information regarding the physical and mental health of their children.
Disney employees staged a walkout in response, complaining that LGBT content was cut from films and that Disney had not done enough to protest the bill, which some critics erroneously characterized as the "Don't Say Gay" bill.
Even so, it's still better than walder books.
ReplyDeleteIt gets to the "I just wonder" point.
ReplyDeleteImagine the head of Disney gives a press conference and says "Look, we're an entertainment company and it's not appropriate for us to make political statements. We believe our films give fair and positive representation to all groups. If people don't think we go far enough they have the right to quit. Don't worry, there's plenty of people looking for work and we'll hire replacements just as fast."
What happens next?
What percentage of Russians were die-hard Communists in 1917? Maybe 10%. Maybe less. Yet look how that turned out?
ReplyDeleteThe Woke Folk are small in number but they have occupied all the important positions of power so they have control way out of proportion to that number. And we're all going to suffer because of it.
same could be said about supporters of Walder
ReplyDeleteAt least - to some degree - LGBT are self destructing, as they are not really giving birth to a next generation, maybe they adopt starving african kids. The pro-Walder pro-Sdom are much more dangerous, because they change the Torah, and they reverse Tov and ra, naming the Ra "good" and the Tov "bad".
meanwhile, "IsraelReader" downticks me, as though adultery is a mitzvah. praying on newlyweds who have a troubled hsitry, and engaging in severest aveirahs of the Torah is a lite matter... it's Ok in Bnei Brak, where anything goes!
ReplyDeleteutter nonsense!
ReplyDeleteNo, remove your grey tinted lenses, perhaps you will see emes.
ReplyDeleteNo, the Walder crowd's danger is that they present a Torah Judaism in which Ben Adam L'Makom is all that matters and that loyalty to the community trumps decency and honesty.
ReplyDeleteexcept 'L'Makom is also compromised, since Arayso are not solely against bein adam l'chaveiro, they are also bein Adam l'makom. But essentially, you are saying it s a frummized version of Jacob Frankism - everything is done, under the table, but regular hechshers, rabbanut eruv/shechita conversions are no-no's.
ReplyDeletethere is - in a perverse way, a temimus to LGBT. I once heard a drush on different types of avodah zarah, and the Rav (i think from KBY) was saying each avodah zarah had its own crazy ideology of false gods , powersm rituals etc. but Baal Peor had none of this - it was jsut straightforward filth, no excuses - just honest deisre for fitlh. And LGBT is the same - they just want to b efre to continue in consensual arayos - it is liek baal peor, honest filth. Walderism is a sophisitcated avodah zarah - it is all a lie- even the frumness is a lie, the kashrus is a lie, the chumros for shabbes are lies (or compensation). It is all about deception, about destroying the fundations of torah but pretending they are preserving it.
ReplyDeleteYour horrible comment deserved a down-tick.
ReplyDeleteEven if Walder might have been a flawed person, nevertheless, I'm pretty sure, that there is not a single line in Walder’s books that’s inappropriate.
This in no way compares to the perverted message in Disney's production.
You're also guilty now of Lashon Hara, because you slandered an entire city, based on the actions of one lone rotten apple.
" When he came home, he picked up a knife, and took hold of his concubine and cut her up limb by limb into twelve parts. He sent them throughout the territory of Israel. (30) And everyone who saw it cried out, “Never has such a thing happened or been seen from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt to this day! Put your mind to this; take counsel and decide.”

What Disney is doing is typical across the entertainment industry. Disney is presenting a vision of society as they wish it to be, not as it is and sending the subliminal message that their vision is the righteous one and if you disagree with it, you are a fascist.
ReplyDeleteThat is correct.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good fight against Disney's perversion.
when a Chief rabbi cancelled a single conversion, the masses protested, publicly mourned, ripped their clothes and said "oi , a terrible thing has been done in Israel". They (students of Ponov.) also attacked him at a funeral, and put his driver in hospital.
ReplyDeleteThis local guy, carries out serial abuse and arayos - not a whisper. All is normal, keep shtum, and keep smiling...
It says something about selective observance of mitzvos.
no, keep up a good fight against toevah amongst Israel, and its enablers. Our fight has to be within, you cannot fight Disney, and other big corporations, and jews should not get involved, whilst whitewashing their own backyard where much more serious chammurot are being done.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you want to say about Ben Shapiro, he positively nailed it in this video.

Would you be so agitated if disney were promoting shaatnez?
ReplyDeleteI see a big difference, if the Chief Rabbi, who is supposed to be one of the leading rabbis, and was charged with upholding the Torah, PUBLICLY did something, that was viewed as twisting the Torah for his personal advancement; compared to a local little guy who was merely ACCUSED of inappropriate private behavior, and very few people even heard of these accusations, and he never was able to have his day in court to rebut these accusations, before he was convicted in the Court of Public Opinion, which closed the door on any chance for justice for him.
ReplyDeleteThat too.
ReplyDeleteWe should keep up the fight wherever the Toeivah'niks rear their head; and we should protest as loud and clear as we can, in any forum, and via any medium.
The abusers from Givah, was a case ודאי, while Walder is under ספק by me.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, even if as a person, Walder might have been very flawed, but the messages in his books are positive. Therefore, I think that we can listen to his message, and ignore the messenger. This would also apply to others, who we read their literature, even they were flawed people.
1) PUBLICLY did something, that was viewed as twisting the Torah for his personal advancement;
ReplyDelete- that was a baseless allegation, of many, that he allegedly did a deal to be elected- no evidence other than gossip having permeated the Agudah world.
2) little guy who was merely ACCUSED of inappropriate private behavior,
Inappropriate - he shook a woman's hand, or had a TV? No, he had dozens of accusations against him by individuals of the most severe sins in the Torah. Not different in kind from Pilegesh b'Givah.
3) "he never was able to have his day in court to rebut these accusations,before he was convicted in the Court of Public Opinion, which closed the
door on any chance for justice for him."
He was able to had he exercised free choice and actually appeared before 2 Batei Din who summonsed him. In the tape, he said he would top himself if the affair ever went public. The only court that closed the door on him was the court of his own hand and revolver.
except when it's a famous character and columnist at yated, which according to legen speaks mi pi daas Torah!
ReplyDeleteIf the main Hareidi yeshiva at the time was at Givah, they would say a rapist/murderer still has a place in olam haba, and it is assur to say loshon hara. they might also say that accidental death whe merely from a gang rape is not murder, and that if a gang of men rape one pilegesh, it is not clear which one's action actually killed her, so it is assur to go against them, they all get off scot free.
ReplyDelete"before he was convicted in the Court of Public Opinion, which closed the door on any chance for justice for him."
ReplyDeleteThat's what he said in his Iggeret Hitabdut, that the court of Rabbinic opinion had found him guilty and hence no chance of justice for him. It's amazing, if this was some secular /sephardi bum like Goel Ratzon, you would be totally against his perverse acts. Goel R's mistake was that he wasn't part of the Bnei Brak community, and that he had Yememnite heritage, otherwise he'd be considered a Tzaddik in certain hareidi circles.
Wow a true navi!
ReplyDeleteDid neviim make statements about what if... Then... In the past?
