ZD – I’m not sure you understand the role gedolim play. Furthermore, are you familiar with the day-to-day lives of gedolim that you know for a fact that they don’t listen to the news, because here in E”Y I KNOW that some do (Kol Chai, etc – the frum stations). You can keeep reiterating the same point but that doesn’t make it true, even if you think it’s logical.
Protests are held against the draft as an expression of disagreement with government policies and laws (civil disobedience) – that’s quite different from protesting about the bad behavior of individuals – I don’t get the comparison.
And yes, Satmar will be Satmar – they are who they always have been and Kol Koreiys and protesting will not change them.
This is yeshiva world news – can we on occassion try to be dun chareidim l’kaf zechus?
