Sure there is chatter, but Miriam strikes me as someone who really doesn't care what others think. Besides, do you think this has actually made it to the congregation? Wouldn't surprise me if they were oblivious to all this. Sure, this forum has amplified it all through discussion, but overall, those two arseholes would just be seen as nuisances right now. And, again, no mainstream media coverage, and most people with IRL issues that don't extend to social media don't pay that much attention to what's reported on twitter and facebook.
Honestly, I think BW playing the "they're jews" card is just a form of racism or anti=semitism. "They're Jews, their community should deal with them." No, actually, the law should deal with them. Maybe BW isn't an anti-semite, but saying things like that will get him hits and visits.
I'm sure the congregation isn't really all that concerned about this. In fact, if Jon is ever arrested and sent to jail, they would likely just carry on with Miriam. Lots of congregations all over the world have congregants whose children may be in jail. They support the parents if they can. In this case, they don't seem to be bothered by Miriam's actions and The Rebel is not well liked in the jewish community, anyway.
What do you want his religion to do to him? Draw and quarter him in a town square?
People have to take these two to court, and win. That's about it. The penalties will likely be relatively small, but may be enough to wipe the Yanivs off of any social media spotlight.
BW only talked about how JY is making TW look bad. I'm saying her logic also extends to Jews and specifically that synagogue that Miriam goes to.
To say this is inherently anti-Semitic is incorrect. No one is saying every Jew believes like JY. But every Catholic I know has been asked informally about what they think about the priests scandal and their reaction has been that yeah, there's a problem and yeah, we've brought it up.
