” title=”RadarOnline”>RadarOnline</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The troubled 45-year-old comic ripped the radio legend with an Anti-Semitic tirade on the Greg Fitzsimmons show earlier this week, calling Stern “a shallow, money-grubbing Jew” over a series of perceived slights.</p> <p>Dick said he’s angry at Stern after the radio icon hung up on him during a call-in appearance with Charlie Sheen in March, and didn’t go to bat for him when his Sirius radio show was cancelled years back.</p> <p>“For two years I did the show, never got a cent and I’m not complaining about that … I’m just saying the Jew facts—I never got paid,” Dick said. “I have no problem with his big fat hook nose … and his money-grubbing, miserly Jewishness.”</p> <p>Dick said he and Stern used to be friends—calling Stern “a nice guy underneath all the Jewi-ness.”</p> </blockquote> <p>Stern talks about Dick’s Jewish media conspiracy in the above video.

When Israeli troops arrived, roadside bombs planted by the terrorists detonated. More than 40 people were reported injured in the attacks.</p> <p>At the same time that the vehicles near Eilat came under fire, Palestinians in Gaza fired rounds of mortar fire at Israeli soldiers working near the security fence where Gaza, Egypt and Israel meet.</p> <p>The attacks “demonstrate the weakening of Egypt’s control over the Sinai Peninsula and the expansion of terrorist activity there,” Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said. He added that Israel’s military will retaliate against the attacks, which he said “originate in Gaza.”</p> <p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a statement also spoke of harsh retaliation.</p> <p>“If the terrorist organizations believe that they can attack our citizens and get away with it, they will soon learn how wrong they are,” he said. “We will exact a price, a very heavy price.”</p> <p>Israeli officials believe that Palestinian terrorists crossed from the Gaza Strip into Egypt in order to infiltrate Israel’s border near Eilat, some 150 miles away. Since the fall of the Mubarak regime in Egypt last winter, the Sinai—the part of Egypt that abuts southern Israel—has become an increasingly lawless place. Militants have attacked and disabled the gas pipeline that runs from Egypt to Israel multiple times, and Bedouin smugglers run a brisk trade under the border between Egypt and Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.</p> <p>On Thursday, Israeli media reported that some of the attackers had fled across the border into Egypt, and that Egyptian border troops opened fire on the terrorists. Egypt said it was not involved in the attack.</p> <p>The attack began with the ambush of Egged bus 392, which runs between Beersheba and Eilat. Gunmen also attacked a car whose passengers included two young children on their first-ever trip to Eilat.</p> <p>One of the Egged buses shown on Israeli television had several of its windows shot out and bullet holes on its side. The driver managed to keep the bus on the road during the attack and drove to the nearest Israeli army checkpoint while soldiers riding the bus exchanged fire with the attackers, according to reports.</p> <p>After the attacks near Eilat, Israeli jets reportedly carried out an airstrike on a site in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, that killed the head of the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees and five other members of the group, the Palestinians said. The group reportedly was responsible for the attacks. The IDF did not confirm the strike.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Ynet reported that the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted a rocket fired at Ashkelon from Gaza.</p> <p>The Prime Minister’s Office urged Israeli citizens to heed travel warnings against visiting the Sinai.</p> <p>Opposition leader Tzipi Livni called for retaliation and said her Kadima Party “will support the government when it comes to anti-terrorism operations and closing the border.”</p> <p>The White House in a statement said, “We condemn the brutal terrorist attacks in southern Israel today in the strongest terms.” It also said that “The U.S. and Israel stand united against terror, and we hope that those behind this attack will be brought to justice swiftly.”</p> </div> <p class="ast-blog-single-element

The police are blaming the youth for being hooligans, as if young people are supposed to learn values on their own when almost half are growing on the streets without fathers. The politicians are blaming a culture of selfishness, egged on by Wall Street, as if bankers staring at wads of cash would garner inspiration to put the communal interest before their own pockets.</p> <p>No, Britain has become a rotting carcass due to the failure of a moribund, stultifying, and amoral religion, more concerned with propriety and causing no offense than simply teaching right from wrong.</p> <p>I lived in Britain for 11 years where I slowly watched the Church of England and other mainline Christian bodies succumb to PC correctness, refusing to ever condemn immoral behavior. Six of our nine children were born in Oxford and London and on virtually each occasion the three other women who shared my wife’s hospital room had their parents present for support rather than a boyfriend or husband. Even so, religious leaders failed to ever condemn the narcissistic, selfish, womanizing men who behaved like Neanderthalic inseminators rather than gentlemen.</p> <p>Contrary to public opinion, values do not come from schools or University professors but from the Ten Commandments. Teachers merely convey an established moral system to their pupils. But if that system is allowed to rot by religious leaders forgetting that their first responsibility is to communicate moral behavior and courageously criticize actions that unweave the fabric of society, the result is newspaper editors who will listen in to a dead girls messages to boost circulation and youth who feel the right to burn down a city when angry.</p> <p>A quick summary of the Ten Commandments and its application to Britain’s problems.</p> <p>I am the Lord Your G-d. I am watching you even when the police aren’t. So put down the darn television and your fraudulent claims that breaking into a convenience store has anything to do with social justice.</p> <p>Thou shalt have no other gods before me, so stop obsessing over the false celebrity gods and royals that led to the disgusting tabloid mess in the first place. You shall have no gods of silver or gold. Money is a means to an end rather than an ultimate goal. Selling your soul to steal a microwave is simply worshiping the wrong things.</p> <p>I could go on.</p> <p>Honor your father and mother. Now that’s rich. Many of these youth don’t know who their father is or were scarcely raised by their own moms. TV was their babysitter, friends, their guides and companions. It was the blind leading the blind, all while clerics watched silently rather than thundering from the pulpit: ‘Mom, Dad. You’re hear in Church by yourself? I don’t want to see you without your kids. Your first responsibility is to them, even before G-d. Now go and raise them. They’re not supposed to be clubbing in their teens. You’re supposed to inspire them to be good people.’</p> <p>Thou shalt not steal. Yes, no matter what the grievance. You’re pissed off at the cops. What does that have to do with breaking into an insurance office? What did they do to harm you? Indeed, their stores are in your neighborhood to help your community. But we feel disenfranchised. The government is controlled by the rich. We get crumbs. Really? We’re sorry you feel that way, but ultimately, we don’t care how you feel. Feelings are nothing when it comes to morality. We care how you act. You feel left out? Then organize politically. You live in a democracy. Make your voices heard. March peacefully to achieve your ends. Speak out at giant rallies. But there is no excuse for stealing anything and we clergymen condemn it. But the bankers stole everything and got bailed out? One wrong doesn’t make a right.</p> <p>Do not commit adultery. Sex is sacred. Religious leaders, afraid to cause offense, have refused to condemn the culture of easy sex in Britain. Anyone who has witnessed the nightclub scene in Britain on a Saturday night would be staggered by the amount of drunkenness when young people emerge from the clubs at the mandatory closing time of 2am. Still, religious leaders won’t get up and belt out a sermon that a child is supposed to be disciplined by a mother and father rather than the police.</p> <p>Do not covet or lust after that which belongs to your neighbor. Jackpot. Notice the Bible does not say, ‘Don’t be jealous,’ which is allowed, but do not envy. Jealousy is where you righteously safeguard that which is yours, like feeling jealous if your spouse flirts outrageously with a member of the opposite sex. Envy is where you crave that which legitimately belongs to someone else. You feel left out? Opportunity has passed you by? We get it. So go out and work hard. Study. Get educated. Religious leaders should be inspiring youth to be people of the book rather than people merely of Facebook.</p> <p>In the United States 92 percent of the population believe in G-d. In Britain it’s half that. And what Britain needs is courageous religious leaders who make the case for a sanctified life in place of the increasing decadence that the tabloid scandal and riots have exposed.</p> <p><i>Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is in the midst of launching GIVE, the Global Institute for Values Education.

Al Sharpton in a synagogue’s panel discussion on the event’s 20th anniversary.</p> <p>Sharpton is scheduled to appear on a four-person panel titled “State of Black-Jewish Relations: Twenty Years after Crown Heights” Sunday event at the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, N.Y. The synagogue’s rabbi, Marc Schneier, is hosting the event and will be on the panel.</p> <p>“Rabbi Marc Schneier should take a damn good, hard look at the videos of the riots over the three-day period, look at the media reports and he’ll see there clearly the role Al Sharpton played,” Norman Rosenbaum, Yankel’s brother, told reporters in New York on Wednesday, WINS-1010 reported.</p> <p>The riots started after Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, was struck and killed by a car in the motorcade of the Lubavitcher rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Scheerson, in August 1991. Rosenbaum, who was visiting from Australia, was fatally stabbed later that night.</p> <p>Sharpton was accused of fueling the three days of riots with his actions and remarks. He led a protest march of hundreds shouting “No justice, no peace” through the streets of Crown Heights to the Lubavitcher movement’s world headquarters.</p> <p>After the riots had subsided, at Cato’s funeral, he referred to the neighborhood’s Chasidic Jews as “diamond merchants.”</p> <p>Rosenbaum told the New York Post that Sharpton “did absolutely nothing then to improve black-Jewish relations—and nothing since.”</p> <p>Former New York Times reporter Ari Goldman, who covered the riots, recently wrote a column in The New York Jewish Week saying that the Times framed the story as a racial conflict and failed to cover the anti-Semitic nature of the riots.</p> </div> <p class="ast-blog-single-element ast-read-more-container read-more"> <a class="" href="https://jewishjournal.com/news/united-states/95201/"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Yankel Rosenbaum’s brother: Sharpton shouldn’t be on shul’s Crown Hts. panel</span> Read More »</a></p> <div class="entry-content clear" itemprop="text" > </div> </div> </div>  </article> </div> </main> <div class='ast-pagination'> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Post pagination"> <span class="screen-reader-text">Post pagination</span> <div class="nav-links"><span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current">1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://jewishjournal.com/date/2011/08/18/page/2/">2</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://jewishjournal.com/date/2011/08/18/page/3/">3</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://jewishjournal.com/date/2011/08/18/page/2/">Next <span class="ast-right-arrow">→</span></a></div> </nav></div> </div> </div>  </div> <footer data-elementor-type="footer" data-elementor-id="354962" class="elementor elementor-354962 elementor-location-footer" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-16ff2513 elementor-section-full_width printhide elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="16ff2513" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-306cf8ff" data-id="306cf8ff" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <section class="elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-73c841ca elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="73c841ca" data-element_type="section" data-e-type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-41944ee6" data-id="41944ee6" data-element_type="column" data-e-type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-58f0ac64 rm20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-theme-site-title elementor-widget-heading" data-id="58f0ac64" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="theme-site-title.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><a href="https://jewishjournal.com">Jewish Journal</a></h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-29de7e30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="29de7e30" data-element_type="widget" data-e-type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> Connect.
