Reply To: Why Are Gedolei Yisroel Silent Or Complicit In The Peleg Demonstrations?

שתיקה כהודאה = admission of guilt??

Perhaps silence equals tacit agreement but at what cost? Silence can also reflect a strategy of keeping a low profile on controversial issues for fear of making yourself (and by implication your mosdos) the targets of the same violence and disruption. Finally, silence may reflect the absence of real-time awareness of ongoing events for reasons that seem hard to understand.
