We do not abandon our own, according to this plea.

Even if they are charged with some serious criminal behavior.

And are the head of the Crown Heights Community Council.

And have several federal indictments to your name.

Gosh, I guess I know whom to turn to in case I ever get caught doing massively illegal crap. I'm sure they will support me just as passionately as they do with this guy. Right?

ETA- the second link applies only to Shalom and not to Moshe.
ETA again- there are two men by the same name of Shalom Rubashkin who are both investigated/charged with different crimes.

Reason number 10000 why I'm an apikorset--DH and I are ethical vegetarians because of shit like this.

I'm so sick of people saying Rubashkin is being targeted because of antisemitism. If frum posters were paying attention to the outside world, they'd notice that these raids and the anti-immigration activity has been going on for a while now. Rubashkin's is only the latest in a series of raids.

	Why do you think Pollard is still a big issue? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	yeah, that too. People send emails and all that and he was a spy, end of story. He was doing what was best for the Jews, blah, blah, blah. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I saw that. Stupidity is what it is. I'll bet they are currently being treated better than they treated some of the workers... In any case, totally off topic question that I have been meaning to ask for ages. What they heck is your avatar? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was the most colorful pot of onion soup I could find. Now why I chose onionsoupmix is another whole story... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Do you have tons of money to donate to Mosdos Chabad? chanief 2008-11-03 11:51 am UTC (link)
	No? Then I'm afraid you're on your own. It's all about the Benjamins, baby. As far as the Rubashkins are concerned, I don't know the whole deal, but where there's smoke, there's fire. I'm a vegetarian, so it's not an issue for me, but how do people continue to purchase Rubashkin products? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Poor Chanie. She doesn't know that all of these are baseless trumped up charges that the antiSemitic government invented. She doesn't know that the "informers and haters of Israel" are going to burn in hell for prosecuting a great and holy man, Mr Rubashkin.

	Why exactly is this hypocritical? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	onionsoupmix 2008-11-03 12:12 pm UTC (link)
	Because if Moshe Rubashkin was a regular Jew named Moe Robins, no one would give a crap, I don't think. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	how many different issues can you mix up in one post? I am so confused. Be more clear. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Unfortunately, I often use the term "hypocritical" when I really mean " double-standard". On the secular setting thing, how many people showed up to Eliot Spitzer's hearing? I'm sure he helped a lot of nice folks in his time. What about that Larry Craig guy? (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Higher Standard onionsoupmix 2008-11-04 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I am particularly appalled by the lack of contrition, by Rubashkins themselves and also by their supporters. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If government lets illegals into the country then it’s good that they have means to survive. If thieves got into your house, it is good that they have access to your fridge so they can eat in order to survive :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Last night a (hardly religious) worker in our kosher store told me that Rubashkin had the best quality of kosher meat – properly packaged to retain freshness and properly carved (without broken limbs). He said that they invested in best equipment, best procedures, and best business practices and he cannot comprehend why anyone would want to bring down the best. -FI (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Too bad he didn't work there, huh? Too bad he didn't watch the PETA video. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Makes me think the others aren't better than Rubashkin :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
