The ad, timed for Israel’s Family Day on February 1st,  featured all kinds of alternative families and declared: “Is there only one family? Who said? There are many families, all of them special and if it takes courage to make choices, fly across the world or make bridges between worlds, all families deserve to be families. Happy Family Day.”

Immanuel Shiloh, the editor of Besheva newspaper, tweeted that “I won’t buy Doritos. Not just because of health. A company which sells snacks shouldn’t take sides in hotly debated ethical issues among its consumers. Judaism recognizes only a family of husband and wife. I won’t interfere with the life of those who choose to live otherwise but I will not give my money to a company which uses it to insult my values -the values of the Jewish family.”

Jerusalem deputy mayor Aryeh King announced that he would be joining the boycott against those who “encourage deviance” and added that “we must, for the sake of the mental and spiritual health of the coming generations, boycott Doritos for trying to influence the natural family via the advertisement of their products.”

King noted that Doritos still had the hechsher of the Badatz and Beit Yosef organizations.

Many surfers wrote that they would be be removing Doritos from their houses. One added that “I liked Doritos but from now I won’t be buying it. The idiocy of recognizing alternative families will not receive legitimation from me and from a million chareidim. Doritos, you lost in this campaign, fire your creative manager fast.”

“King noted that Doritos still had the hechsher of the Badatz and Beit Yosef organizations.”

What can I say? First some Rabbis supported Walder and now this. What else can make me lose respect towards people who they themselves and others perceive to see them as frum Rabbis? Voting for politicians who support abomination and create laws to enforce these abominations certainly doesn’t do much to command respect either. Remember, chillul Hashem really means behavior that is a desecration of God’s name in the eyes of Jews, not goyim which is secondary in importance.

By Ben and Jerry’s, just because they stopped selling in the territories, lots of “Religious Zionists” were immediately clamoring for their hechsher to be removed.

Let’s see if even a fraction of those same people also clamor at least as strongly for it to be removed here.

And, if they don’t feel the hechsher should be removed here, then the question would be why their Zionist idolatry is not only part of their Judaism, but is even stronger than their Judaism.

Well, actually there are more than “ONE” type of family. For starters, there are single mothers and there are single fathers.

How can someone be upset about supporting people? Seems to me the world would be a better place if we helped one another.
