I don't expect many answers to this today, but will post it anyway for you all to see as you come back online, because it is a Yom Kippur issue. In addition to apologizing to others, we forgive them for what they have done to us. Is that forgiveness suppose to extend to everyone who has injured us, or only those we interact with personally? I am having a difficult time wrapping my brain around the idea of forgiving certain politicians who have, in my opinion, injured many people through their actions and inactions. I know this issue must have been discussed over and over before; as much as I despise the people I mention, they don't compare to a Hitler or a Torquemada.

Is there a widely accepted Jewish position on this, or many different opinions?

(Later note: meant to put this in weirdjews, but I'll leave it up here as well.)
