  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In a video of a sermon he gave, Yosef claims that the messiah will come in 15 years and that 200 years after that, the world will end.

I thought YEC in Judaism was relatively rare. I mean this one guy doesn't make it common, but if his party is behind that, it represents about a tenth of the knesset.
Interesting. I don't know much about ultra-orthodox Jewish people, but I know they are rather insular, and think those who aren't ultra-orthodox aren't truly Jews.
