Modern Orthodox bashing

In the spirit of  Purim and venahapoch hu we took quotes from the middle of the road blogger where it appears charedi bashing  make up the majority of the blog posts. We switched the words Charedi with Modern Orthodox.  No offense Just bringing out a point!

I have often been accused of focusing on the negative aspects of  the Modern Orthodox in the vast majority of my writing. I’m afraid I have to plead guilty to that. Many would call that bashing Modern Orthodox. To that I plead not guilty.
This is why I talk so much about Modern Orthodox even though I am not MO.
Who is to Blame for the Divisiveness? The Modern Orthodox are at fault.
 But as I always say, I do not bash Modern Orthodox.Modern Orthodox do need to reach out and make a better presentation of themselves.
And that of course generates Modern Orthodox hatred of secular Jews in return.
But I am happy to see that thoughtful Modern Orthoodox rabbis like Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein are basically on the same page with me – and on the right side of the issue.
The male Modern Orthodox in Israel is generally illiterate in anything other than Torah subjects.
Modern Orthodox Suicide Squads.
 published a letter that faced head on the problem of child sexual molestation in the MO world.
 stunning amount of support for accused and even convicted molesters among the "Modern Orthodox street" and even rabbinic leaders

Ample evidence of Lapid’s desire to help Modern Orthodox get out of their poverty is his primary goal.
The blame for lack of Achdus can be placed squarely on Modern Orthodox shoulders
MO rabbinic leaders discourage – if not outright forbid – reading any secular newspaper
The Sick Modern Orthodox of Ramat Bet Shemesh
Modern Orthodox have to jump in head first and start treating their fellow secular Jews like the brothers they are.
There was a tremendous protest by a MO Shul in a Ramat Bet Shemesh neighborhood because of a Charedi type seminary that was going to be established nearby.
And let’s not forget a MO attack on a "mixed" Frum concert there last Lag B'Omer.
MO and Datim alike ought to stand side by side demanding all violent MO spend a long time in jail
MO tend to see the world in more or less black and white terms
 Assuming that the media is portraying MO in a negative light
once Modern Orthodoxism becomes identified with violence and political extortion - then all MO are tainted by it.
Which is kind of the problem with MO leadership in Israel.
 The secular Israeli sees the Modern Orthodox world with their hands constantly stretched out begging for charity.
For Moden Orthodox - their views are skewed by their teachers who constantly bash the Chiloni community as “out to get them”.
Charity or Work? -MO Poverty in Israel
I am not going to go into detail about why I believe that the Modern Orthodox paradigm is so wrong.
published a letter that faced head on the problem of child sexual molestation in the MO world.
 stunning amount of support for accused and even convicted molesters among the "Modern Orthodox street" and even rabbinic leaders
I am once again thoroughly disgusted by how certain Modern Orthodox - like Satmar - deal with sex abuse.

  1. The following are completely laughable:

    1) "Modern Orthoodox rabbis like Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein" - This is a change??

    2) "The male Modern Orthodox in Israel is generally illiterate in anything other than Torah subjects." Why did the last 4 words remain??

    3) "The blame for lack of Achdus can be placed squarely on Modern Orthodox shoulders" - Do you think that this is so far from the truth?

    4) " I consider disgusting Modern Orthodox practices" _ is there enough space in the entire blogging world for this?

    Boy, that Hairy guy is really Moraless. He has sunk into some kind of Harried Morass.

  3. Your attempt at parody falls short, very short. A real parody is far more than just doing a simple {search and replace} with your word processor. Taking the easy way out, which is what you did, simply looks silly.
