In a conflict between charedim and non-charedim charedi leaders and the press will never openly criticize fellow charedim. It's just not done. <br />There is here an "under siege" mentality of them against us. It's similar to the feeling of all the world being against Israel. We dont like to make concessions or self-criticize because we know that it's a matter of survival. The other side will see any concession or self-criticism as a proof of the justness of their cause, not of our openness and moderation.<br />I believe something similar is at work in the charedi world. I do not expect it to change any time soon.bohr salinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-51953851524476924702009-08-30T23:55:11.087+03:002009-08-30T23:55:11.087+03:00Stop buying Eida Chareidit...now!Stop buying Eida Chareidit...now!Michael Lipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501487897038161582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-1153695489453358702009-08-30T22:11:53.293+03:002009-08-30T22:11:53.293+03:00aren't there some people who say the gedolim d...aren't there some people who say the gedolim don't approve of these?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
