More Proof Of FJCC/COJO Of Flatbush Corruption: The Case Of Yosef Rapaport

supporter of toevah Yosef Rapaport

As we recently reported someone from the FJCC/COJO went around telling reporters not to report on the event and specifically Erick Salgado the only candidate who it's not assur to vote for!
The fact that Yosef Rapaport in his recent article did not even mention the name of the candidate who won the debate or the fact that he ignores Quinn's and DeBlasio's disregard for the gay "communities" attack on Bris Milah gives further proof that the FJCC/COJO is corrupt.

He furthermore openly distorts the facts of the debate by implying that Weiner spoke after someone screamed out shame, which is clearly disproved by the video.

(editors note) Yosef Rapaport deleted some of his tweets, and made more restrictions after we replied to them.

There you have it [Hat Tip to Jacob Kornbluh] my interview with Anthony Weiner where he basically endorsed Weiner who sponsored the bill in Congress for toeivah "marriage". In the background you see Yermi Brenner who did a story on the event for the Forward. For a better audio of the chat before the forum organized by FJCC and COJO of Flatbush, click here

It was a very lively debate, with one heckler who interrupted Bill DeBlasio when he mentioned the  word “LGBT” with shouts of “Shame” and other invectives after DeBlasio defended the LGBT communities attack on Bris Milah altogether .  I have observed over the years candidates who speak to mostly  Orthodox audiences avoid the topic altogether because our askoniem who HATE the Torah don't bring it up and the politicians know they'll get the askoniem and fake rabbaineim support anyways. Most Haredim [Ultra-Orthodox] are content with that standoff only haradiem who are charid from politicians; haradiem who are charid HKB are gainst toeivah. After all virtually all politicians -especially those running for citywide office- have the same views on social issues because they know that our askoniem who control many votes don't care about Torah only kavod.
The issue is how do we as Orthodox Jews find our place in a this big metropolis and have our rights and needs protected. Many zealots in our community have a view that the issue of “LGBT” should be not only be at the forefront of Haredi concerns; it must be the ‘only’ demand the Orthodox have!  Concern for Yeshivos in general, for Special Needs Children, Security for Yeshivos and Institutions should be set aside. Hatzolah„ Shomrim, Ohel, Misaskim all should fend for themselves the main purpose of government is to make and enforce laws (see mishna in avos) not getting money from non jews, (which is called a chillul hashem and is only allowed in very limited cases: see YD hilchos tzdeaka). Even Metzitza BePeh should be at most, of secondary concern.yes toeivah "marriage" effects us even in Williamsburg. Even more the toevah community is the biggest pushers behind banning Milah altogether in this country
Those who hold this opinion -and they are many- direct most of their anger at Haredi Jewish Organizations for not making this the one-and-only test in this and other elections of any politician seeking Orthodox support. So the Hecklers were out there mostly to embarrass the organizers; that failed and for her part Ms. Quinn took the cue and was not shy to mention “my wife” in response to the heckler. she said it the strongest around 45 minutes later!
Obviously presuming she has nothing to lose with our community anyways. so if let's say he din'd scream out shame we should have voted for her?
I have a feeling that the great majority of Orthodox Jews, even even? if they deeply abhor the gay lifestyle, recognize that government support and tolerance of our religious practices sometimes depend on having an understanding with government you mean how the pro toevah candidate Bloomberg respected MBP and the BDB and Quinn had no problem with banning Milah altogether only saying that the LGBT "community" is behind it. The demand “to-be-left-alone” regarding MBP ultimately rests with an appeal for fairness remember this video, that is solidly grounded in American law and polity. Those laws are based on the same principles that give the LGBT community their right to behave has they please.
I won’t provide a link to the words “they please”, but mohel’s practitioners of MBP can point to the NY City Dept of Health treatment of high risk behavior in Bars and Bathhouses from whom the Department never demands that any of their clients must sign any form, or from bath-keepers to keep form records on file for a year the most anti MBP candidate is Quinn she is also the most pro toevah
So on the issue of MBP and the Orthodox struggle to prevent the city from regulating the procedure, Haredim might have to resort to an appeal to principles that are based on the same grounds that give rights to others with whom we strongly disagree.didn't you sell us the same line 4 years ago regarding the pro toevah Bloomberg
Anthony Weiner hit this point during the debate when he passionately pointed out, that “I am a proud liberal, but I believe that regarding many issues including “metzitzah bepeh” there is a such a thing as ‘liberal elitism’ which i oppose” as he went on to explain principles of tolerance and religious liberty he only said that because of the fact that Erick Salgado called out the toevah "communities support for banning Milah altogether!
For that he got strong applause [and silence from the heckler]. the heckler only called out "shame" after Weiners speech as you can clearly see on the video; which YOU don't want the Jewish community to know about.

 Since obviously YR is an am haretz and thinks halachly there is no problem with toevah "marriage" since "it doesn't effect us".

Rabbeinu Behaye (parshas shoftiem) says it was forbidden to live in Egypt because of toevah. we see elsewhere (toras kohaniem on the pasuk quoted) the toevah referred to in this pasuk was same gender "marriage"

FJCC/COJO Of Flatbush Corruption Exposed

(L-R) Chuck Schumer cosponosor of congresses toeivah"marriage" bill, Helen Weinstein who voted for toeivah "marriage"5 times and to have teachers asking 11 year old girls to kiss one another 9 times!, and "askon" Leon Goldenberg (photo was used in Weinsteins press releases to get uninformed Jews to vote for her against a Orthodox Jew who was strong on all Jewish issues)

To see the video that this article is based on!

FJCC/COJO of Flatbush corruption exposed at their forum.

Since I'm writing this slightly less than 36 hours after the fact I'm sure your all wondering, how come we have not seen the video that appeared in our last story on the Jewish websites.  Or the fact that no Jewish reporter reported even in print on the heated Bris Milah debate that happened in the forum or Quinn's pushing her "perverse morality" by talking about her "wife".

Well first I was told by a witness that there was a man going around to reporters after the event and begging them not report on the event and specifically Erick Salgado.  One of the "reporters" that this man spoke to was Shimon Gifter, Gifter  recently removed a video from his youtube page that on Shimon Weiser specifically because it was on this blog. I had multiple reports by people that Leon Goldenbeg (who donated 4,950$ to the lesbian Christine Quinn) was visibly upset by the fact that Erick Salgado was there.  In fact someone high up in COJO even threatened to fire someone because Erick Salgado showed up "early" to the forum and got to say his opinions to the Jewish community. I've confirmed that it was Leon Goldenberg himself that "invited" Mr Salgado to show up after the event was supposed to be over (9:45) after the FJCC, and COJO rescinded their invitation.  The "jester of good will" only came after many Orthodox Jews made phone calls and sent Emails to COJO and the FJCC demanding that they put in the only candidate standing up for morality and the Jewish community's religious freedom and therefore is the only candidate with real rabbaniems support.

Since you may be wondering "where that video came from" ?
The answer is this came from a private video (so this will not come out on a video search) that's address was given to a gay blog (Queerty) that attacks everyone but BDB, and the lesbian Quinn.  The Queerty article was based on a Politicker article by Ross Barkan article that (?purposely?) misunderstood what Erick Salgado said and therefore the candidates response.

• A mayoral candidate forum sponsored by Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition became a litmus test on which candidates would speak out for the LGBT community in the face of a hostile audience — and just as significantly, who would not.
  
  Erick Salgado, a minister who is a minor (to be charitable) candidate, started the chain of events during long-winded remarks in which he reminded the audience, which had significant representation from the Orthodox Jewish community that he believed that they were “persecuted.” As an aside, he threw in a remark about the other candidates. “They are marching here every year in the New York gay pride parade, they’re marching over here, trying to band together,” Salgado said. Needless to say, Salgado got a big hand for his comments
  
  Two other candidates followed Salgado and said nothing: Bill Thompson, the former city comptroller, and Anthony Weiner, the former Congressman and captain of his own crotch rocket. It took Bill de Blasio, the city’s Public Advocate, to call Salgado out;
  
  “First of all, I’m not sure exactly — Erick Salgado’s, your point before — I’m not sure exactly what you’re suggesting,” Mr. de Blasio said. “But I just want to say, I think as mayor of New York City it would be my job to protect the rights and needs of the Orthodox community and protect the rights and needs of the LGBT community.”
  
  This earned de Blasio boos from the audience and at least one cry of “shame.” To his credit, de Blasio kept at it, even though this was not the audience for his remarks. “This is a place for everyone and the government’s job is to protect everyone and their needs,” he said.
  
  Christine Quinn (pictured, above), who stands a good chance of becoming the city’s first openly lesbian mayor, weighed in as well, and forcefully. “You have to be a city where everyone gets to be who they are without ‘shame’ being screamed at them at an auditorium,” Ms. Quinn said, her voice rising. “Without somebody walking up to them on the street and attacking them, without somebody burning a mezuzah, without somebody, quite frankly, just two weeks ago walking up to a man in my district in Greenwich Village and shooting him in the face and killing him because he was gay.”
  
  So now we know who has the cojones to speak up for us. And his photos aside, it doesn’t look like Weiner, or like Thompson.
  Watch the whole thing yourself.

Mayoral Candidate Who Wasn't "Invited" Wins FJCC-COJO Forum

Erick Salgado Wins FJCC Forum

 After Inviting, not inviting, inviting, and not inviting, and then re inviting him only for the last few minutes of the event Erick Salgado "crashed" the forum and won it, showing that the Jewish community follows the Torah and not "askoniem".

Erick Salgado won the event by being the strongest on MBP and other religious infractions even linking MBP to the previous Bris Milah ban attempts and the FACT that gays march every single year in NY's gay "pride" parade.  He further spoke about how the Jewish community came to this country for Freedom of Religion and how that is under assault. He also spoke very strongly about defending the Yeshiva Parents from high tuitions.

Rumor has it that COJO and the FJCC are very upset that Erick Salgado attended the event and even worse gained support in the Orthodox community.

From Yeshiva World News

It’s only a straw poll, so don’t give too much thought to the results. However, based on the response to our questionnaire by a diverse group of ages and gender, the results of our straw poll, conducted Tuesday night after the FJCC mayoral forum, reflect the overall public opinion polls.

There’s one exception though. Christine Quinn, who didn’t hide the fact that she’s from the LGBT community, switched places with Erick Salgado. Mr. Salgado, whose Orthodox supporters are passionate about his candidacy, got the support of 26% while Ms. Quinn was the preferred choice by 7.4%. Former Councilman Sal Albanese didn’t pick up any support among attendees at the forum. Yet he managed to impress, good enough to be considered as the second choice by 22%.

A whopping 62 percent said they do not trust the candidates based on their promises on the campaign trail while 20% said they do trust the candidates. 18% expressed no opinion.

While the Democrats can rely on the Orthodox Jewish voters to turn out in the primaries and influence the vote, they are unlikely to get the same level of support in the general elections when faced with a Republican challenger. According to our straw poll, only 26% are committed voting for the Democratic nominee in the November election while 34% plan to vote for the Republican nominee. 40 percent were undecided.
Full results below:
Q #1: If primary elections for mayor of New York City were held today who would be your choice in the Democratic party?
Erick Salgado 26%
Anthony Weiner 18%
Bill de Blasio 15%
Bill Thompson 11%
Christine Quinn 7.4%
John Liu 4%
Undecided or NE 18.6%
Q #2: Who is your second choice?
Bill Thompson 27.5%
Sal Albanese 22%
Bill de Blasio 17%
John Liu 16.5%
Anthony Weiner 6%
Christine Quinn 5%
Erick Salgado 5%
Q #3: Do you trust the candidates based on their campaign promises?
Yes 20%
No 62%
No opinion 18%
Q #4: In the general election November 5th, would you vote for the Democratic nominate, the Republican or an Independent?
Democrat 26%
Republican 34%
Undecided 40%
