Yiddishe Kop:
Your are terribly wrong. One does not need to side with tziyonim to find the protests disgusting. I don’t take their side, and I am not too thrilled about what happened with the giyus issue. And as many have said here, there is a right to protest. I am not against that. The violence is not just extreme, as you noted, but it is abhorrent, and antithetical for bnei Torah. But the issue here includes the damage caused to countless others who are perfectly innocent. These bochurim, who should be in the beis hamedrash, are busy stopping average people from getting to work, shopping, doctors, etc. Their passion for the subject does not excuse the damage they inflict on others. And whether I agree with Rav Shmuel Auerbach in his position is irrelevant. If he is the Gadol for which he is recognized, I cannot accept that he is in favor of the damage being done to innocents.
