On July 11th, a man named Levi Aron lured eight-year-old Leiby Kletzky into his car. He the proceeded to drug, smother, and dismember the child using three different carving knives and then stored the kid’s feet in his fridge. At least, this is the “official” version of the crime. But if you ask Rabbi Yehuda Levin, this gruesome murder happened because the Jewish Orthodox community did nothing to stop marriage equality in New York!
Did we mention that The National Organization of Marriage is buddies with this guy?
Here’s the most odious quote from his video (translated from the 7:00 mark):
Why was this [death of Kletzky] allowed to happen? Let’s think about it. If we go back to the cause, the effect was he was the victim, but the cause was a Jew [Yiddish] that the evil will come to destroy you within your midst. If it would have been a Gentile, people would be able to say, ‘oh this is from the secular society.’ But this is not from the secular society. This is, for too long we have been turning our cheek, we have been turning away and ignoring the agenda of the [Yiddish] — first they wanted rights, then they wanted adoption, they wanted special protections, and ultimately they wanted marriage — and we all know that we did precious little. If those three or four thousand people, at the direction of their leaders and their common sense, would have come out…against the marriage, against this final nail in the coffin of morality…maybe we wouldn’t have had to had this episode…replay itself.
…
“This came in the very aftermath of the marriage bill, my dear friends, and not doing anything.
Um… we’re pretty sure an actual person and not an amorphous concept of “immorality” slayed that little boy. In fact, we’re almost 100% sure the murderer was straight. Not that it matters to NOM or the Rabbi.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
NOM invited Rabbi Yehuda to join them at a protest against New York marriage equality shortly before the vote. That’s right, he’s NOM’s Jewish friend, he has used a child’s murder to vilify the gays (very Godly), and NOM hasn’t said a single word against him.
In fact, this seems to be NOM’s strategy of late. They let their associates say horrendously anti-gay things and then paint themselves as the kinder moderates, saying “Of course we don’t advocate violence against gay people. We’re against that. Some people on both sides get very emotional about this issue and say things they don’t quite mean. Even I have had to endure personal attacks and physical threats from those who disagree with me. But we want a civil debate.”
It’s kinda like when George Dubya Bush denounced the despicable Swiftboat Veterans for Truth ad against John Kerry all the while knowing that it effectively turned people against his opponent on his behalf. NOM maintains the aura of cleanliness while a few select Jewish and Catholic cronies scare up “minority” crowds with speech that would completely discredit NOM.
But we all know NOM is not really so different from these “kill gays” types.

I don’t suppose this a-hole douchenozzle mentions that Levi Aron, the despicable murderer in this case, is a heterosexual, observant Jew?
davey
what a stupid mother fucking idiot
Super sleuth
You know what’s REALLY scary? Gay men don’t even hide in the shadows anymore, like they’re supposed to. They go right outside in brightly colored clothing. They CLOAK their sinister intentions under the guise of good will and harmony.
What horrors will GAY MARRIAGE cause next?
Henry
You’d think the Jewish community would be a little sensitive about the dangers of scapegoating.
Mike
Well i guess we will have to revoke the JEW rights….No more jews allowed cause they are all spawns of a deep dark evil force—Why do you think they were always chased from their land and multi-murdered—cause they are devil spawns i say…Revoke their rights..They spew hatred in this world… see two can play at this game too….
till the world ends

Careful Queerty.
Or the army of PC queens will accuse you of posting anti-Semitic threads by printing this just like they accused you of fanning racist flames by reporting the nightmare unfolding in Ghana.
codyj
Anyone,with any SENSE…can look at this ‘side show display’ and discount ANYTHING he says…the locks, the curls,the beard, the black hat…WTF??? Nothing wrong with his VIEWS,as long as he keeps them to himself…..wich hes not doing…That get up is ‘laughable’ to me…he looks like Bela Lugosi..in his role as a mad doc in Republics ‘scared to death’…Lugosi looked better,and wasnt a relig nutcase…
Riker
As a representative of an ethnic group which has suffered countless atrocities, including a coordinated genocide of 5-6 million of them during the Holocaust, you would think he’d be wary about casting aspersions against an entire class of people. His comments are strikingly similar to the blood libel that was used to persecute Jews for centuries.
Kev C
I’m not seeing the connection to gay marriage or to anything homosexual. Except that Rabbi Levin is a big dumb homo.
Case dismissed.
Dallas David
Um, yes . . . Bela Lugosi.
It never stops, does it?
Well, for a bit of levity . . . here’s a rock explanation of why things suck — “It’s all because the gays are getting married!”

Rabbi Yehuda Levin looks like that shit the housekeeper cleans out of the shower drain every Friday when she’s here.

Of course, since marriage equality has come to New York, there have doubtless been many acts of kindness and goodness. How come he doesn’t attribute any of those to marriage equality? Only bad things must come as a result? And no evil acts occurred prior to this month in the whole of New York?
The irrational hatred is just mind-boggling.
Carlos
Oi, I haven’t heard much Yiddish since I left NY. Of course, the same comes from the religious right with as much vitriol.
SteveC
I think we can all agree that this Rabbi is a big, stupid, uneducated, smelly CUNT! (no offence meant towards cunts!)
Ian
He smells and his mother dresses him funny.

@Henry: You know what I have found? Those who have been persecuted don’t care once they get theirs. The blacks don’t care, they have all the freedoms of the world, even living off welfare. The Jewish faith doesn’t care they now have Israel. The tend to forget the civil rights problems they had and they just don’t care about anyone but themselves.

This guy is pathetic and twisted. He definately doesn’t represent all Orthodox Jews. Secular Jews are gay rights heros. Harvey Milk, Emma Goldman, Barney Frank, Sarah Silverman, Howard Stern, and plenty others. We should all be greatful for Jewish dominance of intellectual pursuits, academia, entertainment because it loosens Christian grip on everything. We would have a much more religious society if it not for loud-mouth New Yorker Jews to shout them down.

his scraggly beard is as gross as he is.

@asdSR: sneaking in comments about Jewish supremacy are we?
Alex
I kind of expected a British accent with those bad teeth.
Adman
@Alex: It sounds like he’s saying “these 4000 Jews”, to describe the orthodox Jews and calling all the other Jewish people gentiles? It’s obviously political, he’s a demagogue, so just ignore the religious trappings. We all know the drill.
Adman
^^^Oops, posting to Alex’s message. sorry Alex, my mistake.
Steve
The fact they he’s exploting a murdered child for his own views which cause bullying and murder themselves is sickening. It just goes to show how fucked up our society, and specifically organized religion is.
Olivier
Poor kid.
asdSR
He’s right up there with Fred Phelps. All of the most anti-human, anti-gay rhetoric has come from relgious fundamentalists these days. It turns ordinary people like the Orthodox Jew above into a crazy zombie out to destroy all gays. When will people realize that religion is bad, not good, for society?…
Kieran
I wonder if this repulsive rabbi ever thought that rather than gay marriage, this horrific murder might reflect divine disapproval for all those hundreds of Palestinian children who have been shot dead by Israeli soldiers for throwing stones?

Visually, he kind of reminded me of the “Monster Mohel” character in the “Foreskin Man” comic strip that popped up on the radar screen due to the circumcision initiative in San Francisco: http://www.foreskinman.com/monstermohel.htm . Maybe it is just the hat and beard.
I don’t think he was using Yiddish – it sounded more like Hebrew. Apparently some people use the word “molech” or “moloch”, the name of a pagan god mentioned in the Bible, and apparently is used to refer to “any person or thing which demands or requires costly sacrifices.”
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch).
http://wordquests.info/cgi/ice2-for.cgi?file=/hsphere/local/home/scribejo/wordquests.info/htm/d0000885.htm&HIGHLIGHT=be notes an ancient practice of child sacrifices to Moloch/Molech.
Not sure why he started babbling about same-sex marriages, abortion, and Anthony Weiner (with no mention of Weiner’s wiener).
Ganondorf
Blood libel against gays by a dirty looking rabbi? Maybe this guy should be shot in the face (which doesn’t imply anything other than what would be just and satisfying if such a thing were to happen accidentally while he was “cleaning his guns”). I say we let herman cain and shlomo here duke it out. My money’s on the black guy, as it always is in any sporting contest ever when applicable, but especially (and I say this as a cultural jew who, in spite of that, is about to say something marginally antisemitic) when a non-israeli (those guys can kick some ass) jew is involved.

@Kieran:
proof??? or is too much to ask from people who spend their hating the one country in the middle east where queer people don’t end imprisoned or executed
Laury
religious people should be smacked. no more can we tolerate this “well it’s their religion” nonsense. if the rabbi was a nazi and said “Jews are responsible for all of our social ills, then all people would be wailing in the streets, screaming for blood.” We have to stop simply bickering over the web and get organized and get busy. “Queers Against Religion”
MrsGMitchell
What in gay hell is this shit? Now we are responsible for monsters that prey on defenseless children as well as natural disasters? Give me a fucking break… This is one religious FUCKTARD that needs desperately to be placed in a rubber room with no windows and fed nothing but his own bullshit for the rest of his miserable life. To think that there are other idiots that take in all of this obscene verbal fuckery and try to inflict it upon others as though there were some kind of truth to it. Studies do in fact prove that a large number of “kiddie diddlers” and child murderers are in fact HETEROSEXUAL, some are even married and have children of their own (now that’s immoral)work regualar jobs, take active parts in their religious communties and appear to be the average joe. If this rabid rabbi knew anything of actually statistics involving this matter, he would see just how ignorant, unreligious and flat out wrong he is. He is one of many giving religion a bad name, and I hope that we as a community of people can come together soon to defend ourselves and our God given rights and our civil rights against shit spewing puss bucket’s like the Rabbi and all of his fucktard friends.
