CJV Condemns Spitting Incidents in Jerusalem. My comments https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2023/10/re-cjv-condemns-spitting-incidents-in_5.html?m=1

Rabbi Pesach Lerner did write a beautiful letter on behalf of Amiram ben Uliel but it needs to get, as the minimum, the same attention and Press coverage and expression of indignation as this CJV Press Release is getting condemning spitting of Chareidim.

Fyi Rabbi Pesach Lerner's letter:

The Media I am afraid will blow up the spitting incidents out of proportion to Slander Chareidim, to paint them as hateful. Of course it starts out as only distancing a "fringe group" of Chareidim. This is done by loving and tolerant Jews. Eventually the likes of the NY Times and other antisemitic media somehow manages to escalate this "hate" to apply as well to the Hebrew Language, thus incriminating all Israelis and not just "Fringe Chareidim'.

I am sure the CJV does not have this intention.

Therefore it behooves the CJV as representing 2,500 Rabbis to condemn the clear miscarriage of Justice against Amiram Ben Uliel and condemn the unlawful administrative detention of Hilltop Youth and not be afraid to give a Torah perspective on whether forced confession is permissible in a Jewish Court of Law or in any enlightened Democratic society.

True there might be a backlash and your Hakachic analysis might be deliberately misinterpreted as supporting murder of innocent Arabs.

Emphasize that Torturing someone to extract a false confession is wrong for everyone, both Jew and non Jew and should never be used as the sole evidence to convict someone to 3 lives of imprisonment not to mention emotional torture of total isolation and solitary as inflicted upon Amiram ben Uliel. Insist he be transferred at once to an Agaf Torani at the very minimum.

Regarding showing disdain like spitting, according to Halacha, in a place of idol worship, is there ever any halachic basis and justification and if so maybe a public condemnation is not in order since it might and probably will be taken out of context as well and used to create divisiveness of Jews condemning other Jews.
