There simply have to be clear strong statements made by leaders in each community that this type of violence is totally wrong, is in no way "self-defense", and is simply in direct conflict with the Torah way of life.<br /><br />Until leaders in ALL communities are truly willing to confront the "violent splinter groups" associated with their communities (or however you wish to call these kinds of people who clearly define themselves as part of a more mainstream group but commit unconscionable acts in the name of the more mainstream group), we will not be able to stop most of these incidents, because the silence of the leaders will indicate to regular people in the more mainstream groups that the leaders do not object "that much" to the violent undertakings of these "splinter groups".<br /><br />Once again, I remind us all that we need leaders with true integrity who are not afraid to stand up for truth and justice and the true Torah way of life!Catriel Levhttp://clev@actcom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-80423091383116389842010-09-14T16:32:33.699+02:002010-09-14T16:32:33.699+02:00They only way he will be able to deal with it is b...They only way he will be able to deal with it is by bringing in with him next time a handful of noar gvaot.
