I see a strong parallel between the emotional fury sparked by specific trump supporters posts and by Joseph’s posts. As I touched on above, when people vehemently support something, they need to be honest as well.
You can support a person or cause with your very life blood, but when they are wrong, or err, you need to either be quiet, or be honest.
When an Obama supporter hates trump, nobody cares. But when they either 1) accuse trump of the same things Obama does and turn a blind eye to Obama/Clinton or 2) fail to acknowledge inappropriate acts or mistakes their leader does it ranckles. Same way (l’havdil) people who inappropriately defend Torah, they refuse to acknowledge legitimate concerns with mistakes communities or leaders made (I am NOT talking about being disrespectful to rabbonim ch”v), or more accurately, to say outright that there are no mistakes, or that any voice of dissent on indecent behavior is just anti Semitism, it ranckles in that same way.
But those two ‘camps’ who do that, are the biggest complainers about the other ‘camp’. It isn’t the cause, as much as it is the blindness, disingenuousness and dishonesty that flares the fury. If your cause is REALLY that worthy, (which Torah is) then support it honestly.
You can like someone, you can support a cause, and you must defend the Torah, but once you start lying for it, you have battuled it and your own credibility.
