Jewish controversy

[Grumpy Cat]

It’s an unholy row unfolding in one of Australia's most exclusive suburbs. In one corner are orthodox Jews, trying to turn the area into a religious enclave, but they're facing a strong opposition from long-term residents.

What the hell were those poles for?

My internet is too crappy to load the video, but they're probably similar to what they have in New York and New Jersey. The poles are to string ropes between, and then the jews can't go past ropes on the sabbath, and gentiles are not allowed to cross the ropes to the jewish side.

In modern times, when housing is not typically organized into walled courtyards, rabbinic interpretation has permitted this requirement to be met by creating a continuous wall or fence, real or symbolic, surrounding the area to be aggregated. The fence is required to have certain properties and consist of structural elements such as walls or doorframes. When the fence is symbolic, the structural elements are often symbolic "doorframes" made of wire, with two vertical wires (often connected to utility poles) and one horizontal wire on top connecting them (often using utility wires). The use of symbolic elements permits an eruv to make use of utility poles and the like to enclose an entire neighborhood of a modern city within the legal aggregation. In contemporary Jewish discourse, "an eruv (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruv)" frequently refers to this symbolic "fence" that creates and denotes the boundaries of a symbolic "walled courtyard" in which a halakhicly (from "halakha," meaning the body of Jewish religious law) valid property aggregation can take place, rather than to the aggregation or legal status of the properties.

Jewish ghettos in Europe existed because Jews were viewed as foreigners due to their non-Christian beliefs in a Renaissance Christian environment. As a result, Jews were placed under strict regulations throughout many European cities.[1] The character of ghettos has varied through times. In some cases, the ghetto was a Jewish quarter with a relatively affluent population (for instance the Jewish ghetto in Venice).[citation needed] In other cases, ghettos were places of terrible poverty and during periods of population growth, ghettos had narrow streets and tall, crowded houses. Residents had their own justice system. Around the ghetto stood walls that, during pogroms, were closed from inside to protect the community, but from the outside during Christmas, Pesach, and Easter Week to prevent the Jews from leaving during those times.

Of course, the Jews don't see themselves as foreigners among gentiles, they're doing their outmost to be accepted. In all this, Jews were passive victims, according to the PC historiography.

All extremism is bad. I think shooting all extremists is not extreme.
