Excerpt:
In a letter addressing erev rav Jews a biblical phrase for the mixed multitude, including Egyptians, that accompanied the Jews out of slavery, often used in a derogatory context Barr accused them of knowing nothing about Judaism and being hypocritical in their stance on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
You feel it is moral to express your sympathy for those who occupy all but a sliver of the Middle East, those who stone women to death, execute gays and rape little children, and get away with doing it, because child marriage (polygamist pedophile cults) have a priest class which absolves all pedophiles of criminal action against innocents, she wrote.
While addressed to the erev rav, the letter ostensibly attacks other Jews who are unilaterally pro-Palestinian in the name of being liberal and pro-human rights. Or, as she wrote on Twitter, her letter was penned for Jews who H8 Israel and Collude with anti-Semites.
You believe that making Judaism illegal in every Arab Country is OK? Really? You ignore the Jewish Nakba 800 thousand expelled Jews in the middle east FORCED to move to Israel, since 1948 by violence and hatred, their wealth stolen? You scream and yell that there should be no harbor or rest for any of them inside a Jewish State, or anywhere else on earth? REALLY? You ignore the FACT that the Arab world did this to Jews AFTER AUSHWITZ? You ignore the FACT that those with whom you agree are now taunting Holocaust Survivors still alive in the world, and calling them Nazis? REALLY? she continued.

(58,724 posts)She is kind of all over the map with her comments, but she is definitely anti-patriarchy and pro-legalization of drugs. Aside from that, you never know what she will come up with. She has been especially bizarre when it comes to Israel - seeming to swing from one extreme to the other.
