Why does anyone believe a thing this woman says? My friend Robert challenges one of her more dopey assertions, that Orthodox Jewish women are subservient to their husbands.

How many times have I called up an Orthodox friend and had this conversation:

Me: Hey, wanna shoot some hoops?
Friend: Let me ask my wife.

A minute later he returns:

Friend: Sorry, Rachel wants me to fold laundry.
Me: Are you a man or a mouse?
Friend: Let me ask Rachel.

Having seen this firsthand, I can assure Amanpour that she is sadly mistaken. I can also vouch for the fact that there are no females on this planet with greater self-confidence and assertiveness than Orthodox Jewish women and girls. They are amazing to observe; no self-esteem or shrinking violet issues with them.

But seriously:

Karen and I laughed at Amanpour’s truly stupid statement, but this kind of lie/distortion/canard/whatever is no laughing matter. It libels an entire religion.

Is Amanpour ignorant or a liar?

If she’s ignorant, she should be fired. Not for this singular untruth, but for the entire enterprise which leaks lies and distortions at every frame.

If she’s a liar, well, she should be fired for consciously producing jihadist-enabling propaganda, consciously propagating Jew-hatred.
