All those marei mekomot which sechel is bringing us are TOTALLY IRRELEVANT here.
Should we not investigate the merits and faults of zionism for example because of the hiyuv of ahavat yisrael ?
Or of conservative judaism ?
Or of any new movement which claims subservience to its new ideals ?
Are we meant to be transformed into happy go lucky simpletons who accept everything and anything with a joke and a glass of mashke ?
This is a common mistake of habad apologists. They [intentionally?] confuse the erech of ahavat yisrael with discussion of habad ideologies’ merits and faults.
One can be anti habad ideology and love the individuals who happen to be its adherents., and conversely support habad ideology and hate individual habad people.
No one is ‘judging’ the ultimate worth in shamayim of the adherents of habad.
What we are attempting to establish , is the veracity of various habad claims . That is a TOTALLY SEPARATE MATTER.
So – again – a critic of habad – is not a “hater”.
