If I told you how anti-proactive human beings are about the things they claim are important to them you wouldn't believe me.
Having conquered my own self-centered inclinations as a young man (and only God knows how badly I need to recover them now) my impulses were free to actually follow my intellectual and moral claims.
And it's a wasteland out there.
You have only to watch the very first video posted on my channel to get an idea for the vast distance between people's claims regarding what their concerns are from their actual activities.
You’ve read enough or watched enough to know that at the very least I am not boring or saying the same old, same old.
Oughtn't that be worth at least some rubbernecking?
A fellow named Nosson/Natan/Nathan Slifkin is just one of the hundreds of people I’ve reached out to over the past year for a hearing. And like all the others [excepting you and a tiny handful of others] his response was to ignore me until he got annoyed with the voluminous communiques and asked me to stop. No further comment from him.
Now he's playing that oh so tired! ancient hebraic role of mourning, wailing and bemoaning.
You probably don't know Jews as well as I do. They love nothing more than to mourn, bewail, and lose. Hell, if I fail to make it to the head table it's likely that my own mini obituary will count me as one of them.
At that point someone will then point out what exactly it is I should have done differently, but to date, those who know the actual answer (not a guess, there are answers and they require money) refuse to tell me. I have literally called them to ask.
They raise hundreds of millions of dollars for tombstones, ambulances, lawyers, and complex blackmail network machinations but have no interest in speaking with a populist outsider who believes in the inherent equality and goodness of most human beings (cue the Korach calls, I’ve heard them befire).
A lot of good it's doing them.
So, having taken a break from his childish war against the ultra-orthodox for refusing to join the Israeli Army (for reasons they claim are religious but are actually just rational) he’s donning his sackcloth and mass producing ashes for distribution.
Previously my practice has been not to wait, and wait, and wait.
And wait. To make absolutely certain that my latest missive didn't result in the recipient’s penance before writing again or sharing the missive.
It's a faulty technique. Here's what I wrote him:
That's why you should have listened to me when I repeatedly reached out to you.
Being as I created the Hasbara program the very least you could have done was engaged me or given me a hearing.
Not the point and sputter kind you're tempted to do right now of the "at a time like this..!" variety, but a public video conversation for Am Yisroel's consideration.
Maybe, just maybe, someone with my experience has something important to say.
After all, YOU DO REMEMBER that I also ran afoul of Rosenberg don't you? But unlike you, a normal fellow capable of compromising in normal ways (you become dati leumi, lol) I spent a month learning the entire sugya of pidyon shvuyim ad oimkoi and when Rav Elyashiv's gechazis told me that he wouldn't see me again because he already have his psak to allow Gilad Dadashev to continue being tortured until his execution on Adolph Hitler's birthday, I locked myself in Rav Elyashiv's car until he had no choice but to see me again and I got him to change his psak and thus saved the life of a Jewish hostage being held by terrorists - on the first day of Pesach- without releasing any terrorists in the bargain.
A mere 2 hours taken randomly from my videos would have shown you that I have a perspective worthy of a public hearing.
But no. Better for you to retain your platform for your STUPID war against the illiterate chareidi herd than to even get back to me by email.
Cry all you want. I won't play Jeremiah and go into exile with my foolish nation and their foolish leaders with hard hearts, stiff necks, and blind eyes.
While you opine and play with animals I AM IN CAIRO, just waiting for SOMEONE with a platform to give me a hearing so that The People of Israel, rather than their "leaders" can decide whether I should negotiate with Hamas.
If I'm not right then I'm either insanely mad or sickly evil. Aren't THOSE possibilities at least worth giving me a platform for a public video conversation to share with our nation?
And if I'm right... the din v'cheshbon for everybody who had a chance to consider and boost my voice but lazily chose not to is bound to be fierce. And likely won't need to wait for Olam Haba either.

On October 8th I said
That the only option Israel has is the human one. But instead, I said, what Netanyahu the rest of the elite, and the blind frightened herd would do would be to kill X times the number of Israelis who were killed in the belief that they could inflict a 40 year terror and lowliness of spirit in the Jew Haters that would keep them from enjoying the memory o…
