Whether I take his words seriously or not is a different story. And Whether I agree with him on issues is also a different story.
But you (as a torah believer, I assume) to bash him in public, and call him the words you did, is not acceptable to torah believers...
He has built up hundreds of mosdos hatorah, and has thousands of Jews going bderech hatorah because of him, so even if he makes mistakes, he has shoulders to carry those big "aveiros" (in your version), but I assume you don't have his shoulders, and I doubted you can afford to undertake starting up with a gadol btorah in public...
I hate commenting on these topics, and I'm finished now, so feel free to reply whatever you want, but please bash me instead of him...
I can't disagree with most of what you wrote (in fact, I'm in agreement with most), however our point of disagreement I guess, is if/how much one can publicly disagree with him...
I don't think I disrespected him (or at least that's not my intention), just being frank.
May his son (great guy
) HaRav Yakov Chai Ben Margalit shlit"a have a Refuah Shleimah Krova!
He was referring to the party, not the Mizrachi people. In hindsight he was absolutely right.
I am afraid of Harav Ovadia ever since the "yiten lo bana achat, yamut, yishan velo yakum" on Sharon.
Interesting, I never heard that before (I guess when you curse so often, people stop paying attention)..
Y'see, if he said "בית של רשעים" for example, I wouldn't blink.
I think he's still absolutely wrong, in hindsight too..
A party consists only of people, and their voters.
