The Episode from 2 or 3 days ago, Lenny’s Tanach…” is an absolute Shanda (shameful) and is a slander of Judaism and the Jewish people.
It gravely misrepresents the message of Torah and Judaism in general, promotes ethnic cleansing and wrongly claims that Torah is nothing than recounting of war after war. The episode is grossly supremacist, promotes the teachings of a “rabbi” who was listed as a terrorist by the Israeli government itself, and possibly by the U.S. and European Departments of State as well.
Additionally, the host, Lenny Goldberg, repeatedly uses the offensive words “cripple” and “crippled” during the episode, which to people, including Jewish people, with disabilities is like using the K-word to refer to Jewish people.
Many of the ideas promulgated in this episode are essentially lashon ha ra and, in my humble opinion and that of many others, the episode and its continued distribution via Israel News Talk Radio is a chet that sullies the name and reputation of the Jewish people and the Jewish religion and, due to INTR hosting or distributing it, the State of Israel as well.
The world does not need more war mongering or more calls to violence, and valid, necessary self-defense does not include permission to “consume”, let alone with pleasure, entire ethnic groups, even if they have wronged us. And understanding and believing that this episode is INFLAMMATORY and borders on INCITEMENT to violence. Criticising it and the hatefulness it advances does NOT make one a bad or unlearned or “cr***led” Jew.
Please take down this awful episode and reconsider plans to continue airing future ones. Remember, Torah and those who truly understand its message, says Seek PEACE and pursue it, and Do not do unto others that which is hateful to you.
