IMHO, it’s actually very much a root of the issue.
The way you view it.
I don’t think anyone would disagree that someone like Doeg would have been better off not learning. The question as you pose it is where does someone who “does these things” fall?
As I said earlier, I think both sides are posturing in the time-tested Israeli manner, and what they say reflects on absolutely nothing. IMHO that is wrong, but it is what it is.
