To quote Hakatan:
First, I sincerely hope Mashiach comes long before your son is called up to the IDF at 18 and, regardless, that all of Klal Yisrael, including those in Eretz Yisrael, always remain safe and sound, BE”H.
…
The Zionists wouldn’t even have the basic decency to let the Chareidim earn a living. Meaning, their “ptur” of “Toraso umanuso” was conditional on literal mesiras nefesh of Zionist-forced impoverishment. It is a further chutzpah to now attempt to shmad these Chareidim, who preceded the Zionists in E”Y.
Hakatan:
Firstly, if you used the word “influence” instead of “shmad”, it would lower everyone’s blood pressure a couple of notches.
Secondly, thanks for posting. You are the only poster who consistently portrays a cohesive quasi-Chareidi worldview.
Thirdly, your good wishes to future soldiers are nice. And I’m sure you do appreciate their contributions, and thank them as you pass them on the street.
It’s just that even people who would want to align themselves with some of your opinions are turned off by the way they are communicated. Perhaps try starting (as you did here) and ending on a positive note about how you hope all Jews stay well. If people feel that you care, they are less likely to react in a knee-jerk fashion to constructive criticism.
