Robert F. Kennedy Jr. late Wednesday tore into conservative commentator Candace Owens for her claims about the late Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Schneerson during a podcast debate with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, calling her characterization of the famed rabbi “sickening.”
“Candace Owens referred to what she termed ‘radical Judaism’ and characterized the iconic Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, as someone who ‘preached Jewish supremacism and hatred of all non-Jews,'” Kennedy posted on X after the debate, conducted on the “Piers Morgan Unleashed” podcast.
Her words, said Kennedy, “are a sickening and manifestly inaccurate description of a revered holy man who was respected and beloved by people of all faiths.”
He noted that his father, the late Robert F. Kennedy, considered Schneerson a “spiritual mentor and sought his advice on diverse issues of morality and ethics.”
“Rabbi Schneerson preached a message of unadulterated love, tolerance, respect, and universal justice for all of humanity,” said Kennedy, adding that his father “once visited the Rebbe at 2 o’clock in the morning.”
“As Americans, we need to distance ourselves from the troubling rise in antisemitism,” said Kennedy. “We need unity in our country, not divisiveness. That’s what Rabbi Schneerson stood for.”

ReplyDeleteDon't make the Lubab leader like a Christian leader who was all only love. It's enough already that his followers consider him Messiah and are awaiting his second coming. Do you want to make him like Jesus beyond that too?
Who are the politicos sitting with JFK?

ReplyDeleteJust that you know ..the fact that his "followers consider him Messiah and are awaiting his second coming" is not against Torah theology, Christians have actually taken this idea from Jews!
Its been over 30 years, and Chabad followers are all Shoimrei Torah Umitzvois the only thing that I personally have a beef with is that they do not recognize the State of Israel!
Are you saying that the Chabad movement does not recognize the state of Israel? Like the NK? Please explain what you mean???

ReplyDeleteChabad never recognized the State of Israel! This is unlike NK. NK embraces our enemies whereas Chabad loves every Jew!
So they don't recognize the state of Israel? So they embrace Jews but not their homeland? Where is your proof of this?

ReplyDeleteMy proof? Ask any random Chabad the official Chabad's position vis a vis the State of Israel!
