News of the death of casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Jewish charities and political causes in the US and Israel, was celebrated Tuesday by some progressive Twitter users.
“A present for my birthday,” tweeted Rebecca Vilkomerson, the former executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace from 2009 to 2019, while linking to a Haaretz article on Adelson’s death. The group’s official account retweeted a thread of articles from +972 Magazine on his “damaging legacy.”
“Now do Kissinger,” tweeted another user, referring to the 97-year-old Jewish ex-Secretary of State. In response, the left-wing group IfNotNow said “Bimheira B’yameinu.”
Earlier Tuesday, IfNotNow called for Adelson’s legacy to be “erased,” along with the Hebrew equivalent “yimach shemo.”

Mamzeirus is a uniquely Jewish phenomenon, which halachically cannot apply to a goy.
Aside from restrictions on marriage placed upon a mamzer by the Torah, Chazal speak at length of the type of midos ro’os that the unlucky person has.
Disrespect and chitzpa point to p’gam yichus.
There is no surprise that such entities exist among the liberal Jews-in-name-only, and they are simply acting according to their inborn character traits.
They are correct. Anyone that gave money and support to Trump is a real rasha.
The person who posted this is a troll and not who they claim to be.
How do you know that? Are you him?
“How do you know that”

In the past a troll pretending to be him posted several ridiculous comments and was finally called out by the real poster of that name. The fact that this site allows any unverified person (including bots) to post using any name invites this type of abuse.

“yet another Jewish person donating money to some entity having nothing to do with Torah!”
His money is as dirty as that of George Soros. They have both made billions off the misery of others. It is of course asur for a Jew to make a living from gambling so it would be inappropriate for Adelson to give the money to a Torah institution.

why is this not “banned” from Twitter? SHAME ON THEM…………………
Adelson gave BILLIONS to charity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should not have published this and given the leftists a platform.
I find it despicable to celebrate the death of a Jew that holds political views different from my own, yet I have read here comments that rejoiced at the passing of Judge Ginzburg, i.e. someone posted them and some moderator allowed them to be published. Please spare me your highly incensed hypocrisy.
Normally I don’t post or read comments but for a Jew to celebrate the death of another Jew or to pray for the death of another Jew is beyond sad. It makes no difference if one agrees or disagrees with the views of another Jew or not.
All people are tzelem elokim. It’s possible to lose tzelem elokim but that’s a different topic.
It’s probably safe to assume Charlie Hall is not Jewish since he celebrates the death of Jews that disagree with his viewpoint.
Charlie is an older single modrrn orthodox living in Riverdale. His opinions and hashkafos that he posts here and the other heimishe websites are kineged daas torah. He is a bitter liberal. Nebach.
#IfNotNow and #JVP are the voice of Self-Hating Jews!
They are nothing but Trolls and are receiving millions from Islamists etc.
