LEV435 Gossips also violate [this verse]. Jewish tradition understands this law as requiring us to judge others fairly, and to incline toward the more favorable assessment of their behavior when two views are possible. Yet those who speak lashon hara tend to attribute bad or selfish motives to those they are talking about (for a more comprehensive discussion of judging others fairly, see chapters five and six [of this volume]).
