PY – It’s very easy to bash. But you are avoiding my question: do you claim that the modern world is any better than the chardei one?
First of all, where the chardei world has bein adam l’chavaro problems, the modern world mirrors in bein adam l’makom. If “the pinnacle of generations of Chareidi thought” are the mobs in meah sharim, why isn’t “the pinnacle of generations of modern thought” the millions of people who observe torah u’mitzvos either only when convenient, or not all?! Or maybe the crowning accomplishment of modern judaisim should be the theory that the Torah that Hashem gave us “isn’t for today”?!
Second, the very statements you make seem to be lacking in the much-vaunted ahvas yisroel. “The only difference between the radicals and the mainstream chareidim is the use of physical violence.” “The Chareidi world needs to realize that they have ignited these “crazies” with their constant bad-mouthing of Medinas Yisroel and all its symbols.” Your posts seem to indicate that where the chardei is “rife with anti-zionist views and propaganda”, the modern world has “anti-chardei views and propaganda”. Why should their alleged negative views and badmouthing of the zionists be any worse than yours of them?
