Washington – Attorney General Jeff Sessions says a massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue was not just an attack on the Jewish faith, but “an attack on all people of faith.”

Sessions called Saturday’s shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue “an attack on America’s values of protecting those of faith.” He says it “cannot and will not be tolerated.”
Sessions’ remarks came Monday during a discussion on the future of religious liberty hosted by the Boston chapter of the Federalist Society.
On Sunday, U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said he has begun the process to get Sessions’ approval as required by law to pursue a capital case against Robert Bowers, who authorities say carried out what is believed to be the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history.
Sessions says people must be protected in houses of worship. He says the Justice Department will pursue the case with “vigor and integrity.”
You see, both camps, Orthodox and Conservative, keep on teaching about, Jewish Values, Jewish Ethics, Jewish Hospitality, Jews being the Chosen People by God, etc.
Of course this smells like pure bigotry, to define peoples’ morality and goodness, by looking to what mother (or father?) they were born to.
But the Orthodox are not that bad because these believes came as a package deal with many restrictions in life, based on Halacha.
But the Reforms and Conservatives, who do not restrict their pleasure because of various Halachas, only use these believes to assert themselves as a superior race because they were born to Jewish grandparents.
“beliefs”
I know that, they’re not 100% holy, but they do restrict themselves from very many conveniences because they’re bound by Halacha. And they do bother to put on Tefilin every day, etc, because Halacha is forcing them, so I can see why they have to accept this notion, that, Jews are the only chosen people, because they are forced by their Ortho beliefs. But reforms are not bound or forced to do anything because of Torah beliefs, so why do they have to follow this, not-so-nice notion that Jews are the only chosen people?
