I understand your frustration, but the reality is that no Lubavicher can be reached. I found a card in the Chabad shul I attend. Let me share what was written on it, “We must publicize to all people of the generation that we have merited that G-d Alm-ighty has chosen and appointed a man, a person possessing free choice … to be “your judges” and “your advisors” as well as the prophet of the generation… This includes publicizing the main prophecy, the prophecy of “immediately to redemption” and at this very moment “Behold this one (Moshiach) comes.” (Shabbos Parshas Shoftim 5750). Yaakov Yosef A is one of those useful idiots that you mentioned. In a different thread he explained that he defended Chabad because his late Rebbe held of the Rebbe. I am certain that neither his Rebbe nor any Admor or Rosh Yeshiva would countenance the notion of the Rebbe being a Novi. As you, and many others including myself, have noted, Chabad does much good and their efforts deserve to be praised and encouraged. On the other hand, their belief system is totally at odds with normative Judaism. As Rabbi Ahron Feldman, a leading Gadol said, one of Chabad’s leading Rabbis, Manis Friedman is a Kofer for having publicly declared that no Jew will be punished no matter what sin(s) he commits. When this point was introduced in a different thread YYA said that Rabbi Feldman should’ve called Manis to find out what he meant. When Mandani says that we have to globalize the intifada, we know what he means. Just like the Lubavichers, their useful idiots refuse to be swayed, even when the truth stares them in the face.
