Who cares what about a bunch of pederasts and other sexual deviants are up to.

Isn't this a battle over a septic tank?

This is like the Iran Iraq war-its difficult to know who to root for except that you hope the war keeps goign on and on.

How appropriate it's during Parshas Korah.

Got to laugh at that.

These guys are timely.

By following the link it appears to be over a parking lot not a septic tank.

... between Kiryas Joel Public Safety and religious Jews in Kiryas Joel over a new parking lot the government wants to build on the property of Cong. Bais Yoel in Kiryas Joel.

They don't need the KKK,
They're doing it themselves in KJ!

[effie]

Nah, it's a continuation of the septic tank battle.

[Mr. Apikoros]

Let them all jump in and duke it out from inside.

[larry]

these guys from kj are so silly, why arrest their own brothers? why can't they get together?

[WA Ford]

I took a look at this township's Kiryas Joel website and housing is cheap but are there any good jobs?! Also they have a medical clinic for religious Jews there also.

[Alter Kocker]

May they all jump into the septic tank and be flushed away

[Bassy the Haredi Slayer]

May both camps lose

The septic tank truly symbolizes the Satmar way.

Here's an idea for our haredi brethren:

um, jobs?

Depends on who you know and doubtful anybody here knows anybody there...

So this is ultimately a battle between two brothers (how biblical). They can't figure out a way to resolve their family conflict, so they have to engage the entire community in their petty battles. Just pathetic.

Just as long as they stay in KJ and don't come to Rockland. We have enough problems with the penguins.
