Doubtless many of you a filled with a terrible rage at the intense disinformation put about, which you may have believed and now find debunked. Moderate that rage please, thoughts of obliteration, the erasure of Judaism from the face of the earth, the demolition of its temples and incineration of the last Torah, while entirely natural and to be expected, these are marks of extremism and do not much assist.
