I find these protests (not just the violence) so hard to watch and stomach.
I just don’t get why parents can’t teach children acceptance. Yes, there are going to be people that have different beliefs than you. It’s just the way things are. You still have to respect them as a person, as a tzelem elokim, regardless of what their beliefs are. Isn’t that a basic in Judaism? How come it isn’t enforced, let alone even taught?
We all learn the Bais Hamikdash was destroyed because of Sinas Chinam. Why can’t we teach and show our children the concept of Ahavas Chinam?
