Question:
Rabbi, I know Lashon Hara is a sin. Is one allowed to say unkind things about cruel people (like Hitler, Alfred Rosenberg, Goebbels, etc)? Like ridicule and say unkind things about them. I don’t like the cruel things they did.
Answer:
I agree with you. The laws of Lashon Hora don’t apply to them, and it is permitted.
Have a good day
