Readers will note the title of this post is derived from last week's Parsha "Balak" and the story of Bilaam's chatty donkey. A week later the AJN's ass has opened his mouth.
Maybe Donkey Adam was running short on smut and neither could he find a way to poke fun about a seriously injured child. So AJN Watch was given the 'honor' of his attention.
His imbecilic name-calling proves (if there was any need for proof) that Bilaam's donkey had far more seichal than the AJN's ass.
Note his delicate discharge attacking the AJN Watch blog and that post:
"balls-out, Mariana Trench-depth, plumbing faux pas, holier than thou hypocrites, pests, fundamentalist fanatics, taking cues from unhinged religious zealots, virulent vitriol, idiotic histrionics", while equating us with the Klu Klux Klan and Hizb ut-Tahrir. Nice, no?
Unsurprisingly, Eeyaw Kamien distorts our post, by lying that we 'gleefully' 'quipped' about the NZ earthquake tragedy.
But then what can one expect from an individual who derives his income via the stench of the smutty filth he pushes into so many Jewish homes.
Meanwhile our post suggesting an association between the Shechita ban and earthquake (and, Eeyaw, it was only a suggestion) was picked up and discussed in a number of sites (including some that we prefer not to be associated with). We were quite surprised at the interest shown.
One such site, Shirat Devorah, seems to agree with our sentiments, even mentioning the possibility of Holland too getting a 'heavenly' warning after its politicians recently decided to ban Shechita.
And while we can understand donkey's and smut-peddlers denying that anything that happens comes for a reason and from Hashem, we were rather stunned by comments from some in the 'frum' community who seem to have reservations about 'signs' from Above.
So for their benefit here is a quote from the Talmud Yevamot 63:
And here's how the Hebrew Artscroll explains it:
Thanks for a very entertaining post. Donkey Adam - I love that name
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with you re equating Kamien to Billom's ass.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought Kamien = Billom.
After all Billom was the one who gave Bolok the znus advice.
And isn't that what Kamien's weekly column is usually about?
Feh!
Onya AJNWatch for exposing (yet again) the AJN gossip columnist and smut peddler for the person that he really is. I particularly enjoyed your witty post, though I concur with the commentator above that Bilaam's ass was an insightful animal who, unlike its owner, saw the malach. The commentator in question should not be compared to an animal of such stature!
ReplyDeletewell said AustIsr. I couldn't agree more
ReplyDeleteDo you remember what people thought of Anthony Mundine, and a lot of Muslims, when he said September 11 was because of America's mistakes against Muslims.
ReplyDeleteYou are th equivelant for Jewish people. While you may have your beleifs, and i'm not taking a view, by publicing your view you can (at best) have people nodding their heads and (at worst) insight people to hate Jews for such extreme views.
Hashem gave you a brain - feel free to use it.
I cancelled my subscription to the AJN long ago primarily because of Kamien.
ReplyDeleteThe metaphor he uses regarding drinking Kool Aid goes back to the mass suicide in Jonestown.
Not that I needed any convincing, but this only reconfirms the immaturity and shallowness of this so called journalist.
You all should be ashamed of yourselves! Stop hiding behind a blog, quite pathetic.
ReplyDeleteWell said Annonymous! You use brain, and use it smartly

Umm, no who aid that...??
Oh, 'anonymous'. Yeah, sure
Hypocrite class 1
Another strange occurrence in the Netherlands a few days ago: TV and Radio Towers
ReplyDeleteOf course no-one can be absolutely certain why stuff happens, but also remember that there are no such things as "coincidences" in our religion. Everything is from Above.
I can't understand how anyone (who believes in the Torah - not smut-peddling garbage pushers for rags like the AJN) can forget what we say twice daily in Krias Shema:
ReplyDeleteטז הִשָּׁמְרוּ לָכֶם פֶּן יִפְתֶּה לְבַבְכֶם וְסַרְתֶּם וַעֲבַדְתֶּם אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִיתֶם לָהֶם. יז וְחָרָה אַף ה
בָּכֶם וְעָצַר אֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְלֹא יִהְיֶה מָטָר וְהָאֲדָמָה לֹא תִתֵּן
אֶת יְבוּלָהּ וַאֲבַדְתֶּם מְהֵרָה מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ הַטֹּבָה אֲשֶׁר ה נֹתֵן לָכֶם
There are consequences for actions - whether our own or other peoples.
And as for the remark by Adam the Ass [perfect description] about 'unhinged religious zealots who blame homsexuality etc for natural disasters', he obviously doesn't even attend Shul on Yom Kippur.
ReplyDeleteHad he been there, maybe he would have heard the leining at Mincha "Ve'es hazochor lo sishkav mishkevei isha - toeva hi" with the Torah describing the punishment for those who sin - "vatoki haaretz es yoshveho"
But then knowing even a single verse in the Torah or attending a Shul - even on Yom Kippur - is obviously not a necessity for a job at the "JEWISH" News.
They are all 'yotze' their Jewishness with part-timer Yossi Aron.
B'H
ReplyDeleteAh, Rabbi and you have by your statement about Yossi Aron transgress the laws of Lashon Hara. It is snide and derogatory - not worthy of a Talmid Hatorah.
Shabbat Shalom
Ilana, in what way did I trangress LH.
ReplyDeleteYossi would be the first to say (admit) everything that I wrote.
He IS a part-timer and he IS their 'expert' [and sole representative] on/of religious Judaism.
BTW I would suggest that there are far, far more LH issues - as well as Hotzoas shem ra, rechilus and Chilul Hashem on that repetitive and boring thread on the GA blog where you have sent more than a few commemts.
Maybe you should be pulling over the YBR-bashers and telling them about the abovementioned ills?
