On one side, there exists a small minority that does not factor in the
reactions of its fellow Jews before acting. That group has for so long viewed
itself as a besieged minority that it has lost the sense of connection to the
larger Jewish people. The consequences of its members’ actions on the general
perception of the Torah and Torah-observant Jews are of little concern.
Their focus is instead on the protection of their turf from alien
intrusions.
