notpashut, I am not going to regurgitate the opinions on this again….we have done that ad nauseum before…but it saddens me to see your comment about the medinah..
Not because these are your beliefs-you are entitled to them.. but because we have just seen what dangers all our brothers and sisters have been under in eretz yisroel and it was the army of that “treife medinah” , with many of its soldiers wrapped in talis utefilin, that went out to slay the mortal enemy and protect our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel. I thought that, at least now, you would refrain from this tired,discredited attack on our borthers and sisters in Eretz Hakodesh living, yes, in that ‘treife medinah”.
Nothing more discredited than monday morning quarterbacks and nothing more repulsive than opinions coming from people six thousand miles away, safely ensconced in the land that the gemoro calls : ‘ke-ilu oved avoidas chochovim”
