Radical "Terrorist" Gang Digs Tunnels And Breaks 770 Wall

[aygart]

1. Expand 770, as the Rebbe wanted.
2. Connect a mikva to 770?
3. Allow access during times that things may be closed such as during COVID?

These are things the media should do?

Wow. Is this an official Satmar account?

The original story broke a few weeks ago, and there still hasn't been a reasonable explanation.

The only one of these I heard before today is the COVID theory, and it was just a theory.

Maybe if there was a single more reasonable explanation that every CH news site centered around, it would lend it more credibility and give the general media something to work with. Instead, they were left to try to make sense of this insane story.

The only way this is interesting to the non-Jewish world is if they believe in the wildest conspiracies. Otherwise it’s beyond silly.

Everyone in Chabad knows the T"T is trouble and was waiting for an insane story like this to happen, so they may not have felt the need to investigate deeper. Don't need to investigate the motives of the insane.

The general media want sensationalism first, truth maybe second.

The non-tabloid reports I've seen write the COVID theory

Those are the only theories they were exposed to. What did you honestly expect them to do?

No one explained that to the media.

Not quote, the Twitter bio reads: “All the official and Breaking news from HQ of Satmar Hasidic Jewish empire worldwide”

As a frum person, I have a much better understanding of what goes on in Chabad than anyone in the media, and I never heard the terms Tzfati or Taliban before this morning. I also felt I didn't get a good explanation of what's going on. I'm shocked anyone expects any better from the media even if they were altruistic and looking for the facts.

Funny how we have 2 posters taking such offence to my use of a term that has been popularized in mainstream Chabad for decades and is instantly understandable to anyone remotely familiar with 770.

Maybe they should be as offended at R' Zarchi and we'd be rid of the troublemakers for good?

Make that 3 please.
I was quite shocked by your use of the term

Who exposed them to these theories ?

[avromie7]

Who exposed me to those theories? It's going around on WA. It's irrelevant where the theories came from, the fact is it's the best they had to go on.

You haven't heard that term being used for the Tzfatim occupying 770?
Care to share your background/age?

Seriously? In what world is a bunch of vigilantes digging a tunnel into the main headquarters of a movement this size, not news?

Have you been to 770's basement?

Oh come on. They can make a few calls to clear it all up. But then it loses all the steam.
