A yeshiva guy told me that a certain gadol said if a goy doesn't punch you in the face, consider yourself lucky (or say a bracha). I said, maybe he meant in the old Ukraine. Guy said, no in Monsey.
Now I ask, has anybody been punched in the face in Monsey? You have no right to make such statements even about gentiles if there's no evidence of it. What good does it do to terrify people or to fill them with contempt about the world?
Do we know the gadol really said this? No, a guy said that he said. Maybe the guy misheard. But maybe the gadol was exaggerating for some reason. Or maybe he said something foolish. Of course, I couldn't say that to this yeshiva guy.
