Reply To: Sadly, the extremism continues…

popabarabba- Actually, I was puzzled by your earlier posting but now, re-reading it,the light has come on! You accuse me of vilifying chareidim ,for the sole purpose of vilifying chareidim. Nothing is further from the truth. if you’d meet me, you’d call me a chareidi, if you’d meet my kids, you’d certainly call them chreidim, so your accusation does not hold water. I am not vlilifying a whole class of people. Even ,as far as the Zionist controversy, I respect the opposite view, even as I think they are totally wrong.I do object when I see offensive behavior (attacking a frum soldier, abusing women))and I certainly object if I see aggressive purpose in avoiding one’s responsibilities (army, working). Lastly, I will certainly push back when I see the gross misrepresentation (shmad,dragging people from their shtenders.etc)by people who have a dishonest purpose. I don’t vilify a whole calls-only people who are dishonest.
