By Guido Vitale
“Sometimes we taught our students to belittle and suspect others. One who doesn’t agree with us is criminal, not merely mistaken. Any opportunity to credit a public leader with good intention was rejected in order to credit him with alienation, with hostility, with malice – not a suspicion of evil, but a certainty! From this way of thinking, horrible things can result”. (Rav Aharon Lichenstein, Yeshivat Har Etzion, November 1995)
