Rabbi Landau
Question
Is it true that the Rabbi studied under Rabbi Dov Landau?
What does the Rabbi think about his political outlook?
Answer
Landau. I didn’t study under him. But I heard a few lectures and happened to speak with him a bit. And also heard various things during my time in Bnei Brak. I’m not impressed that he has any political outlook. He seems really like an idiot in that area, just like a little child in kindergarten. Which very much sharpens the contrast between analytical and Talmudic learning abilities and plain common sense and connection to the world. It’s a bit insulting to analyze the “political outlook” of a foolish child.
A. Why speak that way about a Torah scholar?
B. Why do you never say things in this style, for example, about people like Persico and the rest of the leftists? Here’s an example of a tweet Persico posted a few days ago:
"Explain to me how a public that has been mourning for 20 years the uprooting of 8,000 people and sees it as a terrible trauma and a bleeding wound, cheers and rubs its hands together over a plan to uproot 1.8 million people"
If that isn’t stupidity, then I don’t know what is. Persico has dozens more tweets in this style, and still you haven’t called him a foolish child or kindergarten-level, but simply claimed that he is mistaken.
