Nechamasara, who says hat Mashiach will do that? Rambam only says that he will fight Hashem’s wars, rebuild the Bet HaMikdash and wipe out Amalek. Chamim say (Eduyot 8:7) that Eliahu, who also will come, will not clear up those considered pasul or disqualify those considered kosher but only to make peace. Even Rabbi Yehoshua , who is the most machmir, only says that he will push away those who came close by force.
Neville,
1. The objection should be to the obsession with their religious observance. I do not think that the media considers them role models. Rather, this is part of their war against Trump (BTW, I find it interesting that none of them talk about JFK’s obstruction of justice in the Sherman Adams case).
2. The chillul Hashem (if there was one – I seriously doubt that it bothers gentiles and non-observamt Jews) can be corrected by a limmud zechut. In any case, it is prohibited to rebuke someone publcily without meeting all of the conditions set forth by the Chafetz Chaim. In particular, the arm chair poskim do not know the details of why they ddi what they did. They are either woefully ignorant of the complexities of Halacha or simply enjoy cutting down others. You have also not answered my question regarding slumlords and people who have engaged in corrupt activiites. Therewas no thread, for example, about a certain Orthodox politician who was convicted of corrupt activities. This was a far greater chillul Hashem.
3. Don’t be disingenous. This whole thread is titled “Rumor about Ivanka Trump Spurs conversation about Geirus”. I persobnally do not understand how the mods allowed it.
