Unfortunately, I believe the chareidi leaders are not saying anything because they are beginning to realize that all these years of preaching verbal violence against the state has created a major monster that is now out of control. They can’t suddenly tell their followers to respect and trust the judgment of the state in this matter, as it will go against everything they have taught until now. But they don’t want to be seen as instigating violence because of the backlash by many frum parents who send their kids to Israel and financially support their schools. So the best approach here is the wise approach of the ostrich–stick one’s head in the sand.
Mark my words, I believe that we are seeing the anti-zionist movement self-destruct and crumble right here before our very eyes. They have now publicly made themselves out to be so backwards, primitive and cruel as to support a child abuser against a benevolent (even to them) and charitable hospital, that nobody can take them seriously any more. They have become the laughingstock of Judaism. It was a movement that was born in sinas chinam and sheker, and has now found its fitting end in more sinas chinam and more sheker. Rest in Peace.
