Another "rabbi" weighs in and plants himself firmly on the side of the enemies of the Jewish people — Holocaust deniers, annihilationists, Jew-haters and anti-humanists. All the while patting himself on the back for his complex moral code and tolerance when applied to evil.
Rabid Sid Schwarz wrote a congratulatory column to himself in the current issue of The Jewish Week. The rabbi says he lives in a "morally complex" world, doncha know? Where it's not good versus evil, or right versus wrong, or love of life versus death worship. Where have we heard this before? Coming from a "rabbi" makes it even more awful. These values are not complex. What is "complex" is the mental acrobatics Sid has to perform in order to claim the moral high ground while
roundly betraying fierce Zionists. That takes immoral complexity.
It's to laugh, it's to cry.

Rabbi Sid Schwarz gets tough with me. Ooooh, isn't he the brave one? Going guerrilla on Geller. But this spineless wonder says nothing about the daily vicious calls for Jewish genocide emanating from the "Palestinians" and their Muslim allies, and citing quran chapter and verse across the Muslim world, on Arab media, and on university campuses across America and the world. Where is the "rabbi" on the vicious Islamic anti-semitism forcing Jews to flee Europe en masse? He is so big and bad and bold with me, but what is he doing to address the murderous Jew-hatred in the Muslim world that leads to oppression, mutilation, subjugation and slaughter? I am fighting that and fighting for every individual's right to life, liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality of rights under the law.
Shame on you, Rabbi. You will answer to a higher authority.
"A Rabbinic Call For Human Rights"
Rabbi Sid Schwarz The Jewish Week January 23
Last week, I was one of several rabbis from a range of religious
denominations who met with a senior Israeli diplomat at the Israeli
Embassy. We were there to deliver a letter asking Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel plans to construct a new settlement in the
E1 zone.
So he delivered a letter asking Netanyahu to forbid Jews to build houses on Jewish land, and he's proud of himself.
Such a new settlement would not only create a major obstacle to a
two-state solution to the Middle East conflict, but would exacerbate
tensions between Jews and Palestinians and inevitably lead to the
violation of the human rights of Arabs living in that area. The letter
was signed by more 700 rabbis and cantors representing well over 100,000
American Jews.
A "Palestinian" state would just become another base for renewed jihad attacks against Israel, as has Gaza. Has Rabbi Schwarz never heard the many, many calls from the highest "Palestinian" authorities to "liberate" all of "Palestine," "from the river to the sea"? Does he really think there can ever be peaceful coexistence with Hamas and Fatah, both of which have vowed to destroy all of Israel in their charters? And note that he is concerned about "violation of the human rights of Arabs" — what about the human rights of the Israelis who are subjected to rocket attacks from Gaza and the constant threat of jihad terror?
Last year, I was one of several rabbis who went on a trip to South
Florida to stand in solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers
(CIW) who have been trying for years to stop the near-slavery conditions
endured by migrant workers in the agriculture industry. Since then, the
CIW has made significant progress in getting the food industry to abide
by a Fair Food Agreement that holds growers to a policy of zero
tolerance for slavery, zero tolerance for sexual harassment, and minimum
wage and safety protections for all workers.
If he hates slavery and sexual harrassment, he should stand against Sharia, which gives a divine stamp of approval to slavery as well as child marriage, polygamy, FGM, honor killing, etc.
We engaged in several protests at local supermarkets to put pressure on
grocery chains to comply with the agreement. In one, not so small
victory, days after our protest at a new Trader Joe’s, the company
signed onto the Fair Food Agreement and also agreed to pay one penny
more a pound for tomatoes — for the average worker, that translates into
$7,000 a year. Trader Joe’s became the ninth major retailer to sign the
agreement.And just last fall, I joined a rabbinic-led campaign that stood up to
anti-Muslim hatred with a true Jewish message. What spurred us into
action was the fact that Jewish “activist” Pamela Geller had raised
money to place an ad in the New York and Washington subway systems that
read: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the
civilized man.” It continued, “Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.” Now it is
hard for me to be ashamed by an ad that ends with “support Israel,” but I
was more than ashamed; I was outraged. Within weeks a counter ad
appeared that read: “In the choice between love and hate, choose love.
Help stop bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.” The “love” ad made New
York magazine’s 2012 list of Fifty Reasons to Love New York.
It is not "love" to stand up in defense of the savage jihad murders of Israeli civilians. The ad wasn't about Rabbi Schwarz's "Muslim neighbors," it was about those savage jihadis. He is echoing the Islamic supremacist line that the ads referred to all Muslims — as if all Muslims were savage jihadis passing out candies to celebrate the murders of Jewish children. Isn't Rabbi Schwarz being "Islamophobic" to suggest such a thing? It says "defeat jihad." He supports jihad?
Much of my work in the American Jewish community involves helping rabbis be more effective leaders. Whether serving in congregations, Jewish educational institutions or Jewish communal organizations, rabbis represent our link to a precious Judaic heritage. Rabbis need to be not only teachers of the values of that heritage but also guides for how Jews might navigate a morally complex world.
"Effective" by covering for annihilationists and whitewashing the war on innocent civilians in Israel? Effective how? Kapos said that they were
effective, too. Sellouts always bloviate and congratulate themselves on
their ….. effectiveness.
And he talks about "a morally complex world." No, right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, a love of life vs. a cult of death — no, "Rabbi," these things are really not complex, but again, the mental acrobatics you have to perform in order to claim the moral high ground while roundly betraying fierce Zionists takes immoral complexity.
Yet advancing human rights is not just the job of rabbis. It is the
responsibility of all people of conscience. Religion, if it is going to
be a force for good in the world and not a force for division and
extremism, needs to motivate people to protect the rights that are
guaranteed under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ratified by
the international community in 1948. That Declaration was largely driven
by the horrors that the world witnessed during the dark days of World
War II. Going forward, T’ruah intends to mobilize the larger American
Jewish community to address human rights issues in the world from the
perspective of Jewish values. As a people that was so victimized by the
failure of the world to take action during the Holocaust, Jews should be
at the forefront of efforts to ensure that such horrors never happen
again.
The rabbi invokes
that collective negation of humanity, the UN. Has any other
international organization done more to harm the Jewish state, outside of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation? He discusses the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while glaringly omitting its immoral
parallel, the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights, a separate declaration by Muslim
states that holds up the most brutal, racist, misogynistic system of
governance on the face of the earth — the sharia — as a model for society, and has been approved by that same UN.

The rabbi cloaks himself in self-congratulatory conceit, and we have to suffer his pomposity. Rabbi Schwarz should be ashamed to claim to speak out for human rights
while carrying water for bloody Islamic jihadist Jew-haters and their
Islamic supremacist enablers. If blacks who cheerfully acquiesced to slavery and Jim Crow laws were "Uncle Toms," then Rabbi Schwarz is "Uncle Moe's Jew."
Meanwhile, the Creative Zionist Coalition is honoring me with the "Queen Esther Award for Jewish Heroism." I am proud to stand with them, and with all Jews who love Israel, rather than with jewicidals like Rabbi Schwarz.

The rabbi invokes 1948 and the Holocaust as if he owns. The last spokesman in America for the Jews who survived the Holocaust was Benjamin Meed, z”l. You want to invoke the Holocaust, Schwartz? My late father was a Polish Jewish prisoner of war by the Nazis and my mother survived Auschwitz along with her three sisters. I stand with Pamela Geller. You, Schwartz, are not fit to shine her shoes.

“Such a new settlement would not only create a major obstacle to a two-state solution to the Middle East conflict, but would exacerbate tensions between Jews and Palestinians and inevitably lead to the violation of the human rights of Arabs living in that area”
……………………………………………………..
How exactly is the building of Jewish housing a violation of the human rights of Arabs? Barring Jews from living anywhere however is clearly a violation of the human rights of Jews.

Rabbi, how about you stand up to muslim Jew-hatred? Or any other muslim hatred of non-muslims?

The “Rabbi” needs to dodge some rocks in Jerusalem before he blathers about stopping “bigotry against our Muslim neighbors.” What a fool…

I think we all should pay as much attention to this fool Schwartz as Netanyahu does to that letter. By the way, Pamela congratulations on the Queen Esther award. No one deserves it more. Just great that it’s going to be at the Shangra-la. Last one in the pool is a rotten Jihadi!

Hear we have Rabbi Sid Schwarz who stood up to Pamela Geller. On the Hill we have Senator John McCain, Senator Marco Rubio, Speaker John Boehner who stood up to Michele Bachmann. I guess it is a sign of the times where we have women who are stronger men than our “men.”

I’m not Jewish, but I have to really wonder what makes a dope like this, call himself a Rabbi…tick?
Perhaps he’ll have a few uh, oh, it’s to late thoughts, just before his Islamic executioner chops his head off while screaming “Allahu Akbar!” I’m sure this fuc*ing idiot won’t have a sh*t eating, or forgiving grin on his face!

Why doesn’t the good rabbi preach his message of a tolerant, inclusive, loving pisslam in:
Egyptistan
Pakistain
Somalia
Soddy Barbaria (might be problematic since Jews are officially forbidden to visit this particular islamonazi state)
Yemen
Syria
Iran
Iraq
Lebanon
Gaza Shite
why doesn’t he put his money where his mouth is? Why doesn’t he
put his faith in the “moderate” islamonazis to the test?

Do a search on this “Rabbi” and you will see what a DANGEROUS FOOL he is.
He’s a LEFTY JEWS’ “Community Organizer” and he’s especially interested in “education”,aka BRAINWASHING of Jewish children into siding with Jew-Killers/Jihadis AGAINST their own Flesh& Blood.
He is treated with esteem as an invited “scholar-in-residence” at various congregations,when he should be HELD in CONTEMPT,with doors SLAMMED in his face.

This is a copy of the letter I just sent to the kooky Rabbi:
Dear Rabbi/Imam Sid,
I am saddened that you are so dumb, I am a 55 y/o man who grew up in Silver Spring, MD and attended Bnai Israel 1st on 16th st. NW and then in Rockville. I trained for my Bar Mitzvah under Rabbi Ketchum and was Bar Mitzva’d in Petah Tikvah in 1970. I have Israeli Cousins who have fought against the Arabs who tried to annihilate Israel in the pasr wars. My Father and his family were from Lodz Poland and only made it to the safety of the US in the late 30’s through a “Sofies Choice” type of sponsorship by my great Uncle Morris who was already in NYC, his Sister who he chose against perished in the Holocaust with the rest of the family. My Father joined the US Army and landed on Normandy shortly after D-Day and fought through the Summer until he was wounded and captured by the Nazi’s who tortured him, he was eventually liberated at the end of the war. And here we are today, you are attacking Pamela Geller for speaking out against the very hate that killed so many millions of Jews and others and you are creating a shield of armor for the Jihadi’s who will one day treat you with the same contempt as they will me and Pamela. Are you too stupid to read their own writings, hear their own proclamations, see their own TV shows in which they call for the death of the Jews who are from “pigs and apes”? Do you not see the horrors that are befalling Christians, Gays, Infidels and other types of Muslims in the Shariah areas of the lands of the new “Arab Spring”? How can you turn a blind eye to the treachery that the Jihadi’s are inflicting on innocents all over the world whether it be the murders of the Rabbi and his sweet young Daughter in Paris, the clitorectomy of a young muslim girl in Egypt, or the killing of a Church full of Christians in Mali or the Sudan? And I have not even mentioned the daily rocket attacks at the Kibbutzim in Israel, where were you when Israel forcefully removed those Jewish residents of Gaza who had family connections there for decades? What did you say in support of Israel for such a gift of peace to the Arabs in 2005? What about the gifts of land that Israel has given the Arabs? And what do we get in return? Intifada!!!!!!!
You can pull the wool over the eyes of idiotic Liberals all day long, but to those of us who truly believe in G-D we would NEVER put the Ideology of some Liberal belief or the “Collective” good for “Social Justice” ahead of G-D and Israel and the survival of the Jewish people.
You are responsible for you actions Rabbi.
WAKE UP!!!!

Nice one, Barry G!
Here’s another effort by Rabbis Abraham Cooper and Yitzchok Adlerstein, who serve as the Associate Dean and Director of Interfaith Affairs of the Simon Wiesenthal Center respectively.
They are not deranged like the kumbaya clown Sid Schwarz, but they are still way to generous in their approach. I still have hope for them, although the whole “interfaith” scam makes me puke.

Dear Atlas Shrugs:
Hopefully, this foolish rabbi will realize that supporting those who would torture and murder innocents IS NOT STANDING UP FOR HUMAN RIGHTS but actually helping to destroy them.
A “shout out” to Kuffar Dawg… LOVE IT with the “Soddy Barbaria” which means the residents are Soddy Barbarians. Will be using that to describe the residents of one of the most intolerant nations on Earth!
Women are 2nd class citizens. Apartheid exists there based on not only gender… but seperate living, shopping and recreation areas for 3rd world guest workers (treated as slaves- facing sex abuse, beatings, long work hours, no access to medical care and their paychecks are greatly reduced if they are paid at all)…. and then the 1st world guest workers (skilled labor, engineers, tech support, etc) who are American, European, Aussies, etc… they to have apartheid seperate facilities… I read where 1st world guest workers have to shop at their own mall; and are not allowed to mix with Saudi citizens.
Religious discrimination is the norm for Soddy! Mohammed’s legacy there was to exterminate arab pagans and slaughter/enslave Jews during Islam’s early years. Today… NO JEWS and Christians, Hindus and Buddhists can be executed for their beliefs.
Sharia law oppresses women (a woman’s testimony is 1/3 of a man’s… how do you ‘weigh that’ in a court case). Women can’t drive, face genital mutilation and you can be flogged or stoned for being raped.
Children are property. Little Pakistani muslim boys are camel jockey slaves (camel racing in past-time), children face wide spread molestation and little girls are BURNED ALIVE because muslim men block their exits from burning buildings because the children aren’t wearing burkhas/hirjabs. Children are fed hate filled kiddie TV programs and cartoons making sure the pathological hatreds for the Jews and the west are passed to the next generation.
Soddy Barbaria still ALLOWS SLAVERY. Mostly from black Africa… it is the year 2013 and there are actual buy and sell, a human is your property… S-L-A-V-E.
Finally, lets not forget the way the Soddy Barbarians EXPORT jihad all over the world to bring about human suffering on a massive scale.
Mmmm? Mr. Rabbi needs to address what he thinks of Soddy Barbaria in his next holier-than-thou speech he gives.

Dear Atlas Shrugs:
Oooops. Meant to say the camel racing is a popular past time (form of recreation) in Soddy Barbaria. Not fun for the little Pakistani boys who are enslaved to be jockeys in these races… the terrified screaming children are strapped to the animals during these races.
Heaven knows what happens to these children when they are not “racing.” Knowing the epidemic of child abuse and molestation in Soddy Barbaria… what befalls these poor boys is horrifying.

Where are the rest of Rabbinical scholars and other Judaical leaders? Why they don’t criticize this schmuck or even ostracize him? May be it is not too important for them or “what difference does it make” when he is poisoning the pool of Jewish people?
I do have the answer. Do you?

Well, I get upset when hijab clad children are sent to our Catholic schools….the teachers and principals have no idea about islam or what HATE for infidels has been instilled in the muslim students from birth….the muslim student spies are reporting to parents and imams for incidence to “support” their monsterous regime and koran or for litigation to drain the infidels of money!!!….the priests are stuck in the WE/Multi faith guilt trip from GAY MEN pretending to be priests and molesting children….they have got to move forward and STRENGTHEN their congregates!!!
