Jewish court sentences dog to death by stoning

Just for me?

Wow!! I am so impressed and actually underwhelmed.

I know how to search, but I also know how to find the truth. The truth in this story is that it is NOT TRUE!

Go figure.

...It was not intended to be a response to whether or not the story was true, only to your inability to do a google search correctly. Maybe a computer/internet class would be helpful for you. Then, before you post stuff, you could actually check if it was true. What a novel idea.

This is not intended to single out the poster of this quote, because it has bocome very common here, as well as on other sites, but I believe we could have much more useful dialog if we could/would refrain from belittling the OP based upon minor BS, and instead concentrate on the intended message. With all the BS that is available on the Internet, via emails, etc. it is not always easy to determine what is true and what is not.

Perhaps more attention to the message, and less to the messenger would help.

And yes, even though I'm a curmudgeon, I still think that we can learn from each other, if we are willing to try, rather than immediately picking on minor details.

Yes, I'm still a dreamer

Interesting, the fact that he made fun of my age ( Blue Hair) is OK with you, but I can't suggest that he might want to check stuff out before he posts a falsehood is not.

Gotcha....it's OK for righties to make fun of lefties, but lefties are not allowed to make a comment about what a rightie posts. That would be.....what? bad manners?

Good luck with that idea.

I will try to do better jf1acai.....I'll use one of your recent posts as an example of how to keep things friendly and not personal

As it turns out, the BBC, along with Agence France Presse, Time Magazine, and a handful other news outlets got the story from Ynet, the website for Yediot Ahronot, Israel's second-largest newspaper. Ynet's story says that the head of the court denied that such an incident had taken place, a detail that was left out of the original BBC, Time, and AFP stories. The paper is also alone in noting that there was no official ruling, just a rabbi telling kids to throw rocks at a dog.

Ynet didn't do any original reporting. They got the story from this in Behadrei Hadarim, a small Hebrew-language news outlet for Israel's ultra-Orthodox community. The Bhadrei Hadarim's reports that it got the story from someone who was present, but it doesn't bother to give that person's name.

Israel's third-largest paper, which doesn't have an English edition, also ran the story. They subsequently ran an apology, noting what the court said actually happened: A dog walked into a courtroom, and someone called the dogcatcher.

CSM confirms
