https://www.jwire.com.au/waks-submits-to-the-royal-commission-2/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:03:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 https://www.jwire.com.au/waks-submits-to-the-royal-commission-2/#comment-28578 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:03:08 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=30902#comment-28578 I fail to understand why nearly half of this statement was spent on a detailed rebuttal of an ECAJ press release. How is this of interest to a Victorian Government inquiry? It is not the ECAJ, but our fundamentalist sects that are being investigated. It would not surprise me to discover that in common with all fundamentalisms, these sects are hotbeds of sexual repression, with predictably tragic impacts on those who are vulnerable. What we should be asking is why have we, the rational majority, granted respectability to these sects for so long? They have gained influence as a result, and now we are paying for our pandering.
