German Court rules that the Pig Statue on a Church which depicts a Jew will have to remain

 


Germany’s top court ruled on Tuesday that a medieval antisemitic sculpture can stay on the facade of a church in the eastern town of Wittenberg, rejecting an appeal by a Jewish plaintiff who has for years argued it is an insult to all Jews. 

The 13th century “Judensau” or “Jew Sow” on the town church depicts a caricature of a rabbi lifting the tail of a sow and two Jewish children suckle on the teats. 

Pigs are considered unclean in Judaism. At a time when politicians are warning about rising antisemitism in Germany, the ruling is a reminder of widespread anti-Jewish sentiment in the Middle Ages.

I agree with the ruling. Let the world see that even the church, who says it's peaceful, is full of anti semitism.

I once met a Jewish vet of WWII who was wounded in the European theater. The US Army on that battlefield was using freshly captured Nazi POWs to carry wounded Americans through the line of fire. The Nazi carrying that soldier realized he was a Yid so he kept stalling to shake more blood out of his wounds while taunting him as "Shvine Hundt" aka Swine-Dog. The Yid was screaming so loudly from excruciating pain that an American commander risked running out to see what was going on. When he learned what the Nazi was doing, he immediately took him out with a bullet to the head.

Feld-Slime is telling the oylam that they acted in "good faith" because Walder's scribblings passed the muster of the rabbonim on their "Vaad" (who they refuse to name)! They state further that they know "nothing about" various rabbonim not allowing their own kids to read Walder because Walder didn't mention Shem Hashem as per the public mechoa of Rav Meiselman. And they deny any knowledge of the public mechoa of rosh yeshivas Brisk RAYS that when the skandal hit the fan, the scribblings were given to mumchim to analyze who concluded that EVERYTHING was plagiarized from literature of KOIFRIM and repackaged as heimishe mayselach.

Der far according to Feld-Slime, it's your problem if you bought Walder books. You are not getting so much as a 5% off coupon on their Bais Yaakov Cookbook. Feld-Slime are confident that this attitude that generates hard feelings will not put a dent in their sales because they expect us to swallow their self-serving propaganda like a bunch of lemmelach.
