Reply To: The best response to the RBS terror

By they silence it seems they agree with them even if they dont

Part of the problem is that they agree with the results, even if not the methods. Disowning them is an easy way to get what you want without taking blame for it.

Just look at the Palestinian Authority denouncements of terror, and compare to the Agudah’s denouncement. It tries (to a certain extent) to equate the “prevocation” to the act.

It isn’t the first time, and it wont be the last. Look at Jackson, Monroe & Florida. Ambiguous denouncements only serve to strengthen the perpetrators.

Standing up would make others think they are weak on Tznius. They (the Gedolim’s handlers) can’t have that happen to their public image.
