Rabbi Yisroel Meir Lau (Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi
of Israel from 1993 CE to 2003 CE) said this:

“Over the years I have had the very special opportunity
to pray near some of the greatest rabbis
on the holiest night of the year, Yom Kippur.

I have prayed near Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach.
I saw and heard them cry, shedding copious tears
as they recited the Ashamnu and Al Cheit prayers.

And I saw them cry when they heard that our soldiers had been killed.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Most of those soldiers who died were NEVER religious and NEVER Shomer Shabbat.

Yet Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach CRIED
when they heard that “OUR soldiers” had been killed.

Notice that Rabbi Paysach J. Krohn refers to them as “OUR soldiers”,
even though they were never religious, and even though they were never
Shomer Shabbat, and even though they took orders from
Secular/Chiloni commanders and a Secular Jewish State.

Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach CRIED
when they heard that “OUR soldiers” had been killed.

Why do the Chareidi anti-Zionists not cry when they
hear that “OUR soldiers” have been killed?
