“Civil Disobedience is ….”

The founder of the idea civil disobedience was Henry David Thoreau. He felt that even though civil disobedience may be necessary sometimes, those who decide to rebel will still have to suffer the consequences by the authorities.

In today’s daf, King David was taken to task for causing the death of the city of Nov, even though it was indirect. The punishment for that was that his whole family was nearly wiped out. The only saving grace was that one Cohen (Avyatar) survived so מדה כנגד מדה one of David descendants survived. I don’t expect much from the chilonim, but I expect that chareidim to be a little bit more sensitive to the needs of others.
