#16– As a zionist,you should be terrified at the prospect that the Arabs will offer asylum to hareidim. It would totally undermine Israel’s position, and be seen as proof that the war was caused by the bigotted zionists, and would be seen as vindication of the idea that being anti-zionist has nothing to do with being anti-Jewish. Are you willing to bet the survival of the zionist state on the hope that the Arabs will not be interested in exploiting Israel’s anti-hareidi policy?

He has to keep a perpetual war going. That is the only way to keep all the Yolis in Wili and KJ from going off the derech. Give them something to rally around.

I don’t think it will work.

#18 – you clearly lack Torah hashkafas when that is the way you talk about one of our Rabannm in Klal Yisrael. (especially when you consider that many gedolim feel in kind)

As far as those that complain about the Lashon “Holy War”. First, remember that this is a translation from Hebrew. מלחמת קודש is different from מלחמת ה . The later implies physical warfare. The prior implies spiritial warfare, “davening”, Learning, and the like.

“I declare war”, what is this a game of “war”? Who does he think he is? Had I been in charge I would arrest him while he is EY, throw him in jail and confiscate the million dollars he was just given by that philanthropist. Don’t like it? Too bad, we declare war right back at you.

peakman – it seems to me that you lack a lot of background on the history of this secular Medina and the constant conflict that has been going on between the secularists and Torah Abiding Jews in Israel “specific” and worldwide in “general” for the last 200 years (counting from the Rasha Moses Mendelssohn until now).

The problem is not with the concept of an Army, but rather “who’s” Army. Inscription into the Israeli Army may allow one to protect other Jews, however, it puts one under the control of wicked people who would like nothing more than to uproot Judaism from the Jewish people. Enlisting is liken to jumping into a lion’s cage and expecting it not to eat you. It’s just plain stupid!

Of course, you obviously have trouble seeing this. However, your limitations do not affect the veracity of the statement I just made.

This is the first the Rebbe is hearing about this?
