Imshin points to this article by Rabbi Daniel Lapin, one of many popping up lately that suggest Jews are to blame for bringing antisemitism down on our own heads by criticizing Mel's movie. As she says, it's a "different perspective."
It's hard to express how strongly I disagree with Lapin. But then, I disagree with him about most things. Daniel Lapin is such a strong supporter of "tradition" that he thinks Roy Moore's Ten Commandments belonged in the Alabama State Judicial Building rotunda. He doesn't believe that the U.S. Constitution requires a separation of church and state. So he also supports a Constitutional amendment permitting school prayer. And he's so virulently opposed to gay marriage that he's content to work hand-in-hand with Islamist terrorist supporters in the fight to pass a Constitutional amendment banning it, as well. In fact, Lapin's views on many things are in 180 degree opposition to the overwhelming majority views of the American Jewish community.
A different perspective is always good. Fortunately, Lapin's remains (as least in the Jewish community) limited to one of many minority fringes.
