When it comes to writing against Israel, AMI is 'Rosh Ve'Rishon" to report it.
Reading this week's Ami you would never know that Chaim Walder sexually abused and raped countless Jewish children, and made himself a martyr by blowing his brains out in a cemetery.
They had pleanty of time to report the story before going to press.
The Yeshiva World Blog has proven itself to be a bunch of cowards and their sponsors should be boycotted ASAP. There was no mention of the sex fiend Walder all week.
The women writers of AMI and Mispacha should tell the publishers if this story is not reported they will walk out!
How many victims will have to take their lives until the frum world recognizes that their are monsters among us and must be exposed for who they are? How many?
I put Ami in cherem when they ran a piece on Lev Tahor, describing them as pure, ideal Torah Jews.
ReplyDeleteI put Mishpacha in cherem when they ran a piece on the liberation of Auschwitz and photoshopped out any women in the pictures of the survivors.
For this community, image is over everything. It's not about honesty, integrity or Torah. It's about protecting "the image" above all else. If people have to die, so be it as long as the community is protected.
"The women writers of AMI and Mispacha should tell the publishers if this story is not reported they will walk out!"
ReplyDeleteYou can wait for that to happen till the cows come home from the pasture. If these women writers didn't toe the party line, they wouldn't have a job there in the first place.

Similarly those that are covering up rapes by intimidating victims and telling them to be quiet are worse than Walder, who to some extent couldn't help himself. But those covering up now have the sechel and ability to do the right thing.
True, AMI ignored the story, and perhaps they should not have, although I don't see how they could broach the subject and still remain the family magazine that it purports to be. But they also ignored similar allegations against Shlomo Carlebach, whose music is still oleh al shulchan melachim,
ReplyDeleteAre the allegations against Shlomo Carlebach true? I don't know, but even his daughter Neshama couldn't deny them, only that even if he had a dark side, she loved him for other aspects of his personality.
Why is it that you will always find fault with Chareidim no matter what they do, but non-Chareidim will always get a free pass?
Well said

ReplyDelete"broach the subject and still remain the family magazine"
This fiend killed the "family"
yes, the "famil"y should sit down and discuss that there are people in Chinuch who are evil. This would have been a teachable moment.
Carlebach's accusers came out after his death, and he wasn't a pedofile!
Israeli Mishpacha has a huge article on it. I am sure that next week the American will have a translated version of it (The Mishpacha goes to print Monday - they likely didn't have any time).
ReplyDeleteThe Ami also likely didn't have time, so next week they'll probably have a glowing obituary of Rav Chaim Walder Zatzal.
"Why is it that you will always find fault with Chareidim no matter what they do, but non-Chareidim will always get a free pass?"
ReplyDeleteBecause the non-Chareidim don't walk around with a banner that says "We are the acme of morality and Divine truth that you should all be emulating!"
the only good thing that ami does is shield kids from all this garbage, discussing these evil behaviour with kids will likely do more harm than good, not every issue has to be dealt in a public setting, with kids a part of the discussion, what it will do, maybe save 25 percent of would be victims, while grooming many more kids to do "foul play" and grow up to be molesters,
