The notion of individual responsibility comes from Ezekiel.

Before that, Jews used to believe when one individual went astray, the entire nation was held responsible.

The Democrats want to resurrect that ancient view. I don’t believe the innocent should be punished along with the guilty. It isn’t fair, it isn’t justice and that’s not America.

You don’t mess with the Rebbe Boteach,
he is unafraid.

Yep. It’s that same collective guilt theory that underlies reparations, too.

Remember, “It takes a village to raise a child”?
