Bramo, so why post news about Chutz laAretz? They do not interest those of us who live in Israel. In any case, there is no issue of lashon hara or chillul Hashem as, as ZD stataed, reports are all over the media.
Yekke, is reporting what a gadol says (leaving aside the question of who is a gadol)lashon hara as regards those who have difficulties with the statements/follow other gedolim?
