Well, permition to totally let my cynism out of the bag. 🙂 Waay cool.
I think what is going on is a big chillul Hashem.
I’ve been told that Americans can’t understand what Israelis feel because we don’t have the keduasha here. I just know that I can’t see that throwing rocks at other Jews give the Rebonon Shel Olam nachas. Also, have you noticed that it doesn’t accomplish anything? If anything, it makes some of the chalonim even more determined to be mechale Shabbos.
I once heard the Teicher Ruv, Rabbi Yechiel Grunwald, say that many people want the kavod of being a rav but forget the responsibility that goes with it. I can’t believe the roshei yeshiva and the rabonim in Yerushalayim don’t know what is going on. I think that they don’t come out strongly against these actions because they know they wouldn’t get listened to anyway.
I dont’ think all or even most charaidim are behaimos as someone here said, but when children aren’t disceplined they act more and more outrages. Obviousely some of the people havn’t grown up.
The bottom line is that we need Moshiach! We don’t know right from wrong and we are all stumbling in the dark. We need Moshiach to take away the smoke and clouds and show the light. I’ll agree with the person who said we should all be saying some Tehillim for all of these people.
