I am aware that the hooligans are miscreants and won’t listen regardless. The point of making a statement would be to show that the rabbonim are not in support of it and so that the soldiers don’t feel like they are left out in the cold. It would be to show the chilonim this is not what we believe in and we do have some hakaras hatov and we do care about our fellow Jews – because a large portion of eretz yisroel does not believe that. They believe that the chareidim only care about themselves. For some reason campaigns against other issues have been very public I am not sure why ahavas yisroel isn’t worthy enough of a campaign. If the rabbonim don’t have the time than let one of the gabboim issue a statement as thats what usually happens either way. I find it hard to believe that its too difficult to do.
