The haters have to stop hating. Those being hated don’t have to drop their hashkofos in order to stop being hated. Especially sinec they’ve been haters forever; it isn’t as if something came up that caused them to become haters.
Yes, but if it is the actions of the group that is causing the hating, first the actions should stop. For (an extreme, unsimilar, but pointed) example, did anyone question why African Americans in the 1920s hated the KKK? Was the answer to “stop hating”? And yes, if your ideology tells you that many Shomrei Torah U’Mitzvos have “been haters forever”, then you are correct. There is not much to discuss whith someone who has always hated you (but has continuously given you money….)
And what’s wrong with specifically tailoring a districting law for KY? Is it because it can’t be done for a township consisting of Jews – but it can be done for a township consisting of non-Jews. Districting is done all the time tailored to African-American interests and/or the interests of other general townships. Jews are less?
I didn’t say it was wrong (I actually agree with the original law which was specific for KY & should have been constitutional). You admit though it was done for KY (even though the final “law” did not mention Jews or KY)? So too here, the extra child subsidies were passed for the Charaidim, even if the law did not say “Charaidi” (and even if others can benefit). And now that they want to remove it, Gimmel is the one who is complaining.
