Times of Israel’s blog platform was infiltrated by a malicious imposter

ed note–as much as those ‘in the know’ in terms of understanding the uglier aspects of Judaism that are generally kept hidden from public view will undoubtedly heap warranted skepticism on the Times of Israel’s explanation concerning the Op-ed written by one ‘Josh Bornstein,’ the fact is nonetheless that it is probably exactly that. When I did a web search of Mr. Bornstein and saw what was his typical Op-ed fare and saw that he never touched on any of the rancid topics covered in this most recent piece, I suspected that something foul was afoot, hence my own ‘ed note’ throwing out the possibility/likelihood that this was a spoof.

The uglier truth of it all however, and something which every practicing and non-practicing Jew on the planet knows is that every letter, syllable, word, sentence, paragraph and statement contained in the infamous piece is 100% accurate, minus of course the obvious ‘sinking’ of the USS LIBERTY. Furthermore, even though in this case it may indeed have been a ‘hoax’, the fact of the matter is that every day, in Israel and in those countries which Israel dominates politically, culturally, economically, etc, etc, etc, ‘vile’ (the word used in the Times of Israel’s dismissal of the piece) sentiments no different from those appearing in the ‘hoax’ piece are written, spoken, published, broadcast and become the ear-food, eye-food and mind-food of not just millions of people, but indeed billions of people around the world. Visit any neighborhood within the JMSM worldwide and you will see example after example of the very same kind of hatred, racism, blood-lust, etc, being leveled against the Palestinians, the Iranians, the Iraqis, or any other group against which Judea has declared war.

All can be rest assured that organized Jewish interests WORLD WIDE dirtied their collective diapers upon reading this piece, and for the simple reason that–as stated above–they knew that it was absolutely true, A to Z, Alpha to Omega.

On behalf of those of us here at The Ugly Truth–Our hats off to whoever wrote this brilliant piece of expose’ journalism and the very clever way they managed to get their point across..

Times of Israel

The Blogs platform on the Times of Israel was breached in an elaborate manner by a malicious hoaxer who on Thursday posted a hateful and racist post.

This hoaxer, it turns out, had opened a blog on the website some weeks ago using the identity of Josh Bornstein, a respected Australian lawyer, appropriating Bornstein’s name, biography, photograph and taking steps to lend the blog credibility.

Times of Israel staff had no reason to suspect this was a hoax, also given that half a dozen posts were published on this blog in subsequent days, all on topic and perfectly reasonable. As we found out Thursday, these posts were taken from Bornstein’s articles elsewhere on the internet.

After establishing his credibility on The Blogs platform, the imposter Thursday published a blog post that was vile and disturbing in the extreme. Shortly after it was published, we removed this blog post and the entire blog, and began investigating what had transpired. The post had also been copied to an online archive with the obvious intent of causing maximum harm.

We are dismayed that The Times of Israel fell victim to such a malicious and hateful hoax. Needless to say, we are appalled that the Times of Israel’s blog platform was taken advantage of in this manner.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who was affected, directly or indirectly. Most especially, we apologize to Josh Bornstein.

We consulted with Bornstein in writing this article, and he asked us to make crystal clear that he had nothing whatsoever to do with this entire episode. “I deplore racism,” Bornstein stressed. “I’ve fought racism since I was four years old.”

  1. Correction:
    “Times of Israel staff had no reason to suspect this was a hoax, also given that our Religion columnist, Rabbi Shmuel Drekkenstein had reviewed it for accuracy and raised no objections. It now appears that there was a mix-up: Rabbi Drekkenstein says he thought we were asking about his own column. He never saw this article.”

  2. genius on so many levels I can’t describe them all here. the fact that nobody at TOI thought, “maybe we shouldn’t publish this,” is pretty amazing

  3. Resh Lakish said: He who is observant of fringes will be privileged to be served by two thousand eight hundred slaves, for it is said, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, etc.

    Rab Judah said: It is forbidden to recite the Shema’ in face of a naked heathen. Why do you say a heathen? The same applies even to an Israelite! — In the case of an Israelite there is no question to him that it is forbidden, but this had to be stated in the case of a heathen. For you might have thought that since Scripture says of them, Whose flesh is as the flesh of asses and whose issue is as the issue of horses, therefore he is just like a mere ass. Hence we are told that their flesh also is called ‘nakedness’, as it says. And they saw not their father’s nakedness.

    Rab Judah said in the name of Samuel on behalf of R. Hanina: I saw a heathen buy a goose in the market, use it immorally, and then strangle it, roast, and eat it. Also R. Jeremiah of Difti said: I saw an Arab who bought a side of meat, pierced it for the purpose of an immoral act, after which act he roasted and ate it.

    R. Hanina said: If a heathen smites a Jew, he is worthy of death, for it is written, And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian. R. Hanina also said: He who smites an Israelite on the jaw, is as though he had thus assaulted the Divine Presence; for it is written, one who smiteth man attacketh the Holy One.

    Where a suit arises between an Israelite and a heathen, if you can justify the former according to the laws of Israel, justify him and say: This is our law; so also if you can justify him by the laws of the heathens, justify him and say to the other party: This is your law; but if this can not be done, we use subterfuges to circumvent him.

    Our Rabbis taught: An Israelite woman should not suckle a child of a heathen, because she rears a child for idolatry; nor should a heathen woman be allowed to suckle a child of an Israelite woman, because she is liable to murder it. This is the opinion of R. Meir. But the Sages say: A heathen may suckle a child of an Israelite woman, so long as there are others standing by her, but not if she is on her own. R. Meir, however, says: Not even while others are standing by her, for she may take the opportunity of rubbing in poison on her breast beforehand and so kill the child.

    Rabban Johanan b. Zakkai said to his disciples: My sons, what is the meaning of the verse, Righteousness exalteth a nation, but the kindness of the peoples is sin? R. Eliezer answered and said: ‘Righteousness exalteth a nation:’ this refers to Israel of whom it is written, Who is like thy people Israel one nation in the earth? But ‘the kindness of the peoples is sin’: all the charity and kindness done by the heathen is counted to them as sin, because they only do it to magnify themselves, as it says, That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savour unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

    Rab Judah said in the name of Samuel: Whoever emancipates his heathen slave breaks a positive precept, since it is written, They shall be your bondmen for ever.

    THERE ARE MANY MORE EXPRESSIONS LIKE THESE, AND IN EVERY CASE WHEREVER YOU READ “HEATHENS” OR “CUTHEANS” OR “EGYPTIANS” ETC. THE ORIGINAL ARAMAIC TEXT SAYS “GENTILES” I.E. NON-JEWS, BUT AS A RESULT OF CENSORSHIP THE TRANSLATIONS REPLACE THE REAL TERM WITH THE LESS OBVIOUS “HEATHENS” OR “IDOLATORS”.

  4. R. Shila administered lashes to a man who had intercourse with an Egyptian woman. The man went and informed against him to the Government, saying: There is a man among the Jews who passes judgment without the permission of the Government. An official was sent to summon him. When he came he was asked: Why did you flog that man? He replied: Because he had intercourse with a she-ass.

    They said to him: Have you witnesses? He replied: I have. Elijah thereupon came in the form of a man and gave evidence. They said to him: If that is the case he ought to be put to death! He replied: Since we have been exiled from our land, we have no authority to put to death; do you do with him what you please. While they were considering his case, R. Shila exclaimed, Thine, Oh Lord, is the greatness and the power. What are you saying? — they asked him. He replied, What I am saying is this: Blessed is the All-Merciful Who has made the earthly royalty on the model of the heavenly, and has invested you with dominion, and made you lovers of justice. They said to him: Are you so solicitous for the honour of the Government? They handed him a staff and said to him: You may act as judge.

    When he went out that man said to him: Does the All-Merciful perform miracles for liars? He replied: Wretch! Are they not called asses? For it is written: Whose flesh is as the flesh of asses. He noticed that the man was about to inform them that he had called them asses. He said: This man is a persecutor, and the Torah has said: If a man comes to kill you, rise early and kill him first. So he struck him with the staff and killed him.

  5. Sounds more like something the Protocols of Zion may have inspired. What a hoax turned reality that has been. Two faces of one schizophrenic Judas goat.
