Reply To: Is anti-Zionism the sin of the spies?

Joseph,

1. You are wrong regarding Chacham Ovadia. In fact, he created a storm when he publicly stated that Sharon would get a “boom” in his head. He then said that Sharon would live long.

3. Who would have them? Even under the Lapid plan those few who are really learning would receive a deferment. The “butterflies”, as they are called here, would get to release their energies in a positive fashion rather than spend their time spitting on little girls and putting up posters in the names of “the gedolim, shelita”.

Simcha, first of all there is no such thing as sovereignty of a political movement. Does the Democratic Party have sovereignty over the US? Sovereignty is in the hands of Am Yisrael. The government is merely the representative of the sovereign chosen for the sake of efficiency (imagine a “town meeting” with several million participants). If you cannot tell the difference between the present government (which, FYI, includes Yaakov Litzman of UTJ and Arye Deri of Shas) and any possible Arab government then you have a very serious problem.
