Spokesman for Orthodox Rabbis Says Coulter "Said Nothing Anti-Semitic"
NEW YORK, October 12, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - With the secular
media trumpeting the outrage of liberal Jewish groups at Ann Coulter's
remarks on her desire for all people, Jews included, to become
Christian, LifeSiteNews.com spoke with Orthodox Jewish Rabbi Yehuda
Levin. Rabbi Levin, the spokesman on moral issues for some 1000
Rabbis, told LifeSiteNews.com, "She said nothing that in any way
indicates anti-Semitism."
On CNBC's 'The Big Idea' last week, host Donny Deutsch became
hysterical when Coulter tried to explain that Christianity considers
itself the continuation of Judaism, and thus Christians wish followers
of Judaism to complete the journey - "we want Jews to be perfected"
she phrased it.
Deutsch called Coulter's comment uneducated, "hateful and anti-
Semitic" and went so far as to compare her to Iran in wishing to "wipe
Israel off the earth."
Rabbi Levin, a spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance for America and
the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada,
commented to LifeSiteNews.com on the matter saying: "It is a fact that
millions of Christians believe in evangelizing and preaching the
gospel and it is their belief for a Jew to accept the tenets of
Christianity and accept the divinity somehow completes them and brings
them to perfection."
Levin stressed, "That's obviously not our belief, that's not the
traditional Jewish belief at all."
"But the fact that Miss Coulter was asked to try to say that this is
now anti-Semitism, I believe is off the mark, is even sad and
dangerous in certain ways," continued Rabbi Levin. "Because I'm
concerned that many Christians out there will hear her merely saying
what they have been taught in their religion and having that referred
to as anti-Semitism could put a strain on relations. People will say,
'"I'm not entitled to have my religious opinions on the subject of
evangelizing and what's considered to be perfect.'"
The spokesman for some 1000 orthodox rabbis concluded, "So, I very
strongly feel its important to say that saying things like this does
not an anti-Semite make."
Interestingly talk shows discussing the matter had numerous orthodox
Jews calling in to state they were not offended by Coulter's remarks.
Rabbi Levin explained, "The Orthodox are very comfortable in their
beliefs of their religion and their practices. The Jews who would be
more offended by this are those that are not involved in day to day
practice of Judaism."
The offence taken by several Liberal Jewish individuals and
organizations is also hypocritical according to Rabbi Levin. He
pointed out that true followers of Judaism, like true Christians and
sincere believers in several other religions feel they have the
fullness of truth, and thus in charity hope for a day when all people
will embrace the fullness of truth.
Rabbi Levin explained that especially on Jewish holidays special
prayers are said, even several times a day, especially for non-Jews
that they will come to accept the truth. Translating one such prayer
from Hebrew the Rabbi prayed that "Every person will know that You
created him, and everyone who has a soul will declare God his King and
His monarchy is forever and ever."

I respectfully submit that Rabbi Levin has his head up the collective
***** of fundie Christians, and is no more a spokesman for Orthodox
Rabbis than Joe Lieberman is for mainstream Democrats.

So, if ONE person's opinion is stronger than several groups'? Is this
what you're saying, nazi turd?
Is this your idea of democracy, sack of *****?
Of course, since it's about protecting another fellow "christian's"
antisemitic tendencies...
BTW, "Lifesite" isn't a serious source. If you want to be taken
seriously, how about using credible and serious sources?

Half of his statements sounded more like "we're worried this
will only make trouble." Heck, one of the first things he said
made it sound;like they'd always known it was anti-Semitic,
and have just shut up about it.
That rabbi likes to think that only secular Jews are disgusted
by what she said, but the fact is that *he* is the one equating
"anti-Semitism" with *just* "wanting to murder Jews."

I defend the jews allot but I didn't feel offense in this because this
person is not unique. Its part and parcel to the way some Christians feel. I
think its wrong only because I think religions should learn to accept each
others differences more and embrace them as long as they are not about
destruction of the other. I think it may lead to anti semitism but its not
overt
and sadly jews always have to accept the lesser of two bad choices in order
to survive. Jews should be more concerned with getting out of Israel and
trying to find other places to exist in . Jews often struggle amongst
themselves in many ways: conservative and reform, rich and poor so jews need
to do a better job getting along with each other. This is to me the biggest
jewish problem besides hate from other groups. I often don't feel accepted
in Jewish religion.

Translation:

they'll hate us even more."
That's about as far from saying "what she said isn't anti-Semitic" as
you can get. It's like "render unto Caesar" - meal for the
mealy-mouthed.

My brother went to a funeral for his mother-in-law a few weeks ago.
She lived just outside of Tyler, TX - one of the most evangelical places in
all of Texas.
While he was standing there with his wife, one of the relatives came up to
him and *forgave* him for being Jewish.
His brother-in-law is a Methodist minister - and he's not so forgivng.
He *hates* his sister for marrying a jew - and for serving alcohol at the
wedding.
Such is the hate-based, bigoted nature of Christianity.
