Not new.

I came across an interesting thing in history that may surprise Jews generally. Two facts:
(1). The first Jewish book burned in Europe? The Rambam's "Mishna Torah", burned on orders of the Establishment rabbis in Mainz and Slovakia.
2)
They could not tolerate that someone would seek to democratize information that anyone could access, rather than relying on the establishment leaders. Sort of like today, both in the Ultra orthodox and Secular elites. Dissent, not allowed.
3)
(2). The First burning of the Talmud was ordered by a Bishop who was an advisor to the Pope, a Bishop who was born Jewish, and the Popes followed and continued what he stated.
4)
In short, Jewish leaders whose positions depend on appeasing the political and financial interests of the elites, throughout time, have often tried to silence Jewish dissent. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW.
But we have an obligation to do something about it."

What has alarmingly changed now is that YOU are being asked to participate in that anti-Semitic endeavor by your neighbors, schools, media and elected officials."

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "THE GREATEST THREATS TO DEMOCRACY
Democracy is not about voting, though that is an element in how one operates.
1)
Real Democracy depends first of all on (1) tolerance of dissent, (2) Uninhibited discussion, (3) and equal application of law regardless of status or identity and (4) a feeling, a perception, among the people that things are fair.
2)
To the degree that these four elements are dominant and strong, one can find an effective democracy.
But any reduction in any of these 4, can be, and probably is, a real threat to democracy.

WRONG.
1)
Inflation is primarily because of the cost of energy, principally oil, & that was cost by Biden’s cutting oil & gas production by 30% and the closure of pipeline projects. Same thing happened in 1979. Fuel costs double and the cost of transport is in everything in the market.
2)
The second cause of inflation is too much money in the market because of Government, at the same time production worldwide has not yet fully opened and the delays in reopening and building inventories.

Of course, BLM uses the same law firm that represents Hillary Clinton and that has been advising BLM how to evade all the laws relating to NGO fundraising, the same law firm that peddled the phoney Hillary Clinton dossier to the media.
What is clear is this:

(1). That everyone was responsible equally, to donate 1/2 shekel of silver in value to the construction of the Sanctuary. 1)
This was the first tax levied for a public purpose, and it was the first tax levied by Israelites on Israelites for a Israelite purpose, in contrast to Egypt where our people paid Egyptians for Egyptian purposes.
2)
And, perhaps most importantly, it was an equal tax, the same amount for each person regardless of who they were, regardless of status, regardless of position. All of our people were equal, both under law, and in responsibility. That alone was a revolutionary concept.

This is a picture of a student I met on campus. In this case, he told me that he supported Israel. He began to ask me questions about the different wars Israel had fought.
2)
We found ourselves in a conversation about how Israel had won The 1967 War by waging a surprise attack on the Egyptian forces.
