Billionaire Turns Attention To Torah's Commandments

Submitted by Jim, Feb 29, 2008 08:50

Ira Rennert either:

a) is the world's largest hypocrite or
b) believes that the God of the Torah is a cruel being that rewards taking advantage of the poor and poisoning their bodies and their children's bodies.

Because the latter is what Rennert does. One should not be called a philanthropist when the minute fraction of one's wealth being given away comes from the suffering of the poor and laying waste of the land. What Rennert does is simply vile, and it's irresponsible for the Sun to print an article about his "philanthropy" without saying where that money comes from.
