    He will Lead a Discussion On a Question? Isn’t it more Religious and Honest to Answer the Question as is?

    “Good Jews and bad Jews” is a common argumentative dichotomy, whereby “good Jews” are those who happen to agree with a person’s positive stereotypes regarding how those who happen to practice Judaism or are of Jewish ancestry should behave (and, hence, ought to be protected from criticism) and “bad Jews” are those who fulfill negative stereotypes about how those same individuals should not behave. Either straw-man “group” can be a majority or minority, but both usually fulfill the lowest expectations (by non-Jews, usually those in historically-Christian- or Muslim-dominated territories) of how a Jewish person should be perceived.
