YYTZ: “It was not a Chillul Hashem. On the contrary, it raised the visibility of the issue of growing anti-Semitism as an issue of national and international concern, highlighted the growing prominent of frum Jews in America, and gave Turx a chance to make a Kiddush Hashem by responding to Trump’s non-answer/attack with good middos, refusing to criticize the president even though he needlessly humilitated him.
People shouldn’t let their pro-Trump partisanship or personal aesthetic preferences cloud their judgment and make them want to publicly heap scorn on a fellow Yid.
YWN should be ashamed of itself for allowing so many hateful comments against Turx on the comments section of its news article about him. There’s no way all that lashon hara and motzei shem ra is appropriate for a frum site. Maybe the gedolim who tried to ban the Internet were right.”
