“Stop Noahide Law” goes to Cooper Union

Tuesday, February 17th, Cooper Union College in NYC – Three activists attended the event “Fight The Global Demonization of the Jewish State” which featured Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor. The event was hosted by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and his organization “This World: The Values Network“. We attended to demonstrate and educate against the Jewish Noahide Laws, discriminatory theocratic laws which have been passed into American federal legislation via Public Law 102-14. (Learn More About Public Law 102-14 Here) If left uncontested, this law along with the Jewish organizations and leaders who support it will create an environment of hatred and violence against dissident non-Jews.  Rabbi Boteach supports the Jewish Noahide Laws, and so we took this opportunity confront him and his supporters.

What Is Noahide Law? 

The Seven Noahide Laws are Jewish theocratic laws found in the Jewish holy book of the Babylonian Talmud (see here). The Seven Laws are “universal” and mandatory upon all peoples of the earth, not just Jews or the nation of Israel.  They prohibit “idolatry”, “blasphemy”, “adultery”, “robbery”, “theft”, “murder” and command non-Jews to set up theocratic “courts of justice”.  The penalty for breaking any of these laws is death according to Judaism (see here). The law against “idolatry” prohibits freedom of worship for pagans (see here) as well as Christians who are considered “heretics” under Jewish Law (see here).  The law against “adultery” criminalizes homosexuality (see here) and is inherently biased against women (see here).  The Law against blasphemy is self explanatory and obviously offensive to anyone who values intellectual freedom.  The Noahide Laws and their imbedded prejudice against non-Jews are supported by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel (see here) and many mainstream Jewish organizations (see here).

Rabbi Boteach & This World Organize The Event

As we approached the Great Hall entrance at Cooper Union, we ran into Rabbi Boteach himself, sitting outside in a black SUV, smoking what looked like a white cigar.  He saw our signs and said he would talk to us inside after he finished his conference call. Rabbi Smuley Boteach is a well known pro-Israel Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi. Yes, Rabbi Boteach is a member of the very same sect which imposed Jewish Noahide Law in America under Public Law 102-14. Boteach’s guiding Rabbi, Rabbi Schneerson described Jews and non-Jews as being different species and said that non-Jews are satanic while Jews are holy. Rabbi Boteach, as we will show below, is also an avid supporter of Noahide Law and a “demonizer” of Christianity, heavily implying that Christians are “Heretics”, an accusation which would bring them death under the Noahide Laws which he is supporting. (see here) Later on, Rabbi Boteach met us in the lobby and looked over our signs, shaking his head up and down.  He asked us what our problem was with the Noahide Laws.  When we told him they were discriminatory against non-Jews and even advocated our deaths he replied, “well I would be against that if it were happening”… but this dodged the bigger question as to why these laws are being brought into the United States in the first place. He took a picture with us and said he would tweet it… let’s see if he does.

Confronting The Supporters 

After Rabbi Boteach left, we were instructed to take our demonstration outside the lobby where a long line of supporters were lining up.  All three of us held up our signs and distributed our prepared flier (see here). We got some strong reactions from the crowd:

Crew # 1: I started explaining we were here to peacefully protest and repeal the Noahide Laws under Public Law 102-14 and to prevent the subversion of the US constitution and secular values. Many did not want to accept the fliers I was passing out and approached me with a prejudicial and closed minded attitude.  Some started yelling “anti-Semite”, others ripped up the flier and threw it back at me.  It became clear to me that most of these people were not interested in “justice”, they were interested in “Just Us” and maintaining their narrow, sectarian ultra-supremacist views.

 Crew # 2: I met one extremely nice and intelligent man who was raised in a liberal Jewish family.  He seemed to know exactly what the Noahide Laws were all about and was very much against them, he just wanted everyone to live in peace.  But many of the other people simply had a persecution complex, they didn’t care to talk about the Noahide Laws but only about how much everyone hates the Jews.  Others just shouted “ridiculous”!

 Vincent Bruno: I was shocked by the level of disingenuousness of the people, they cared for nothing but to jeer and laugh at us and come up with absurd excuses for their treason. They started yelling “why don’t you protest ISIS”… I said “WE DO!!!”  Some people actually believe that you can’t be against both Sharia and Noahide Law. And how on earth does ISIS make the Noahide Laws ok anyway? One man at first admitted that the Noahide Laws existed and that there were actually converts to the laws, people called Noahides, but then quickly changed his story and said the whole thing was a conspiracy theory, a “Jews own the whole world, Protocols of the Elders of Zion thing”.  No one here reads the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an obvious forgery… we stick to Jewish sources, thanks.  Others could only talk about all the injustices done against Jews, but not one of them cared to side against Noahide Laws.  However, I have to say I was very embarrassed when our fliers were picked up by an Iranian and a Leftist activist who started passing them out and parroting cliche “Pro-Palestine” slogans, not something we want to be associated with [Modern Islamist Palestine That Is].

The Conference

It was interesting to see Ambassador Ron Prosor to be speaking against the global demonization of Israel while sitting on stage with a Chabad Rabbi who promotes the Noahide Laws which demonize non-Jews.  Ron Prosor himself has been closely associated with the Noahide Chabad sect, though he does not seem to have weighed in on the issue of Noahide Law himself (see here).  His speech focused mainly on preventing the nuclear armament of Islamic Iran [NO DISAGREEMENT THERE].  Much else dealt with the growing “anti-Semitism” in the world. Ironically Ron Prosor stated that hate for Jews starts with attitudes and education which demonizes them. But the attitudes and education efforts of organizations like Chabad and the Noahide World Center in Israel promote Jewish supremacism and hatred for non-Jews via Noahidism; that’s kind of hypocritical Ron.

Students

One of the students from the Israel Club at Stern College gave a short speech on how Jews are here to be a light onto the nations and be an ethical role model.  Bigoted Jewish theocracy under Noahide Law is not a “light” but a dark shroud of tyrannical hate. They have nothing to do with morals or ethics, they are simple Jewish hegemony and supremacy.

We were actually able to speak with Rabbi Boteach’s son Mendy after the conference (self-associated with Chabad of the Bowery).  He said that he knew about our “Noahide Law” website and felt that we misunderstood Noahide Law and Rabbi Schneerson’s quotes stating that non-Jews were satanic.  He told us that Judaism is the only religion in the world which gives everyone a chance for salvation under the Noahide Laws. An associate of his bleated out “The Noahide Laws Are Beautiful!”…  the Noahide Laws may be beautiful for those seeking a world of Zionist hegemony, but not for the non-Jews of the world who wish for freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of sexual expression.

Conclusion

In the end we were all glad we attended, we felt emboldened by our activism and are now thirsty to do more to spread the word and work to repeal Public Law 102-14.  It is a long road ahead, but armed with knowledge we know we can bring down this tyranny, together. Hope to see you at an event sometime soon!
