Acid Parties

I don't know who the Israel Hasbara Committee is. One thing is for sure: the people who write for them, in the charedi world, are either naive or ignorant.

This post, blogged by our friend, Daas Torah, claims that the modesty patrols do not have rabbinic backing.

Here's the incriminating quote:

The ‘modesty patrol’ does not do things this way; the Rabbis would never condone such actions. There are fringe groups in every city and Beitar Illit is no exception.

That is an outright lie. These groups are backed by a number of rabbis. I will blog, hopefully, about some of them.

I will admit that acid is quite a stretch -- usually, bleach is the weapon of choice.
