Collective Responsibility
Question
Good morning. Following yesterday’s lesson, do you think that members of the Islamic religion—Shiites, Sufis—can feel that they are being persecuted by Jews/Zionists and continue carrying out terror attacks under the law of a pursuer? Through collective responsibility of the Jewish people??
Answer
In my opinion, no, because they are not right. We are not persecuting them. They of course think we are (and they are mistaken). The pursuer can always claim that the pursued is pursuing him and that he is only defending himself.
