“Joseph, so you’d be ok if chilonim practised civil disobedience by marching into Meah Shearim on Shabbos playing loud music”
DY said: “He specifically said he only supports civil disobedience if the cause is just.”
To the Chilonim, promulgating their values are a just cause. They would probably tell you that they believe in personal freedom and rational thinking (and whatever else atheists like to say).
Once you play the game that some of these Chareidim are playing by trying to strong arm, the Chilonim can play harder. They have greater numbers, greater legislative ability, more money, and better tactics. How about there becomes a “good reason” to shut the water for Meah Shearim.
