They're tearing down a sign…🥺
I saw a video of yeshiva students in some southern city tearing down a rainbow-colored sign that says "Love your neighbor as yourself."
A lady passes by and asks them if this is what they teach in yeshiva, etc.
I was thinking about a problem that I always struggle with.
Is it really permissible to tear down a sign of a party/opinion or product that I think is not good/the opposite of the truth?
Is this part of explaining and accepting through the wars of opinion?
For example, like demonstrating and blocking traffic?
What is permissible and fair, what is forbidden and ugly?

In principle, there is theft here, regardless of morality. Although if it is a prohibition, there is room for permission, since it is a coercion of the mitzvot and a kind of persecutory law. But here it is forbidden because it will not help prevent the prohibition, and there is also no prohibition in itself (the prohibition is on the relationships and not on granting rights to such people). And of course, there is blasphemy in this, and instead of blasphemy, we do not do things that the halakha permits (such as the lost Sabbath after despair and more) and sometimes even what it requires.
