NY State Republican Party's Jewish Liaison Has History Of Calling Political Opponents Of The Haredi Community Nazis

Gestetner also allegedly offered to smear a political opponent – for money, of course – of another politician by publicizing this Jewish pol's marriage to a non-Jew. The pol he made the offer to declined. Should Yossi Gestetner have a position of authority in the Republican Party after doing all this?

 

Judge for yourselves, but I think the Republicans should dump Yossi immediately:

Commenting on the Journal News' Rockland blog, Anthony Mele adds:

   This is the same Yossi – who contacted me during the 2010 Republican primary. He offered his services to smear my Republican rival in the “monsey” community, because he is a “Jew married to a non-jew” and he doesn’t share their values. I responded to Yossi… I do not share your values either. No thank you.

   I may disagree with York Klienhandler on the issues and smear campaigning being orchestrated by the GOP Chairman on his behalf. But, I would not descend to that level nor hire Yossi in any capacity. The GOP geriatric leadership in Albany and Rockland County are again out of touch and misguided by their Chairman Reda.

   Some wanted more of this story: So, yes, I decline, Yossi is hired to slander and slime me in the community. I go on to win the Republican Primary Sept. 14th 2010. These efforts are worthless.

Update 8-1-2013 – Mele recently pleaded guilty to harassment of a fellow politician, which might call into question his version of his interaction with Gestetner. Gestetner says Mele's account is false.
