For starters, it’s interesting you mention Heshy HaGever. You seem to be obliquely referencing Boruch Goldstein, known posthumously to his supporters as Boruch HaGever. Mr Goldstein gunned down 40 innocent Arab men, women and children before being overpowered and killed. His victims were killed while they were praying in the mosque in the me’aras hamachpeilah. It was an egregious and cruel act but it was singularly pointless. It was an act of profound idiocy.
I don’t support the governor’s and mayor’s actions. I support the right for *peaceful* and respectable protest. The same people now who are defending violence are those people who deplored it during the BLM protests. I don’t care how irritating Kornbluh is – that is not how we deal with challenges. Inciting a mob makes it easy for the politicians to justify increasingly harsh measures. It was singularly pointless. It was an act of profound idiocy.
