No, I have not added any such heresy. Rabbonim are not gods, they certainly are not HKB”H Himself, although you may think they are like the Pope (certainly Chassidim behave as such). I’ve responded to you repeatedly, but like usual, either you’re acting in bad faith or your reading comprehension level is considerably lower than I thought, even for an Appalachian Transcarpathian like yourself. To clarify again, because I’m not going to let you claim שתיקה כהודאה:
1) Charedim have deified Rabbis (see Artscroll hagiographies as blatant examples of that) to the point of the Charedi community replacing the Torah with something else entirely, that being Rabbinic edict and deification of Rabbonim, which beyond being legally unacceptable by Halakhic standards (an actual Bais Din is required for a Gezera or Takana, not what currently occurs in Israel or the Aguda, and certainly not what gets slapped on Pashkevilim) (2) more often than not is not guided by Rabbonim, but by bad actors – also known as Askanim – who provide partial or false information for their own personal gain. This is a known thing, and it is unfortunately only the Charedim who don’t see it or the harm it brings. I lament this state of affairs where I am forced to question what Rabbonim say because it’s simply unconscionable that Rabbonim would actually sign or utter such things; the fact that you don’t get that is very telling.
Sinas Yisrael is partially what Yankel Berel said – מפקיר דמם של ישראל, which you are guilty of. Sinas Yisrael is accusing an entire community of essentially being an עיר הנדחת, which beyond being completely and utterly false, is acccusing a community of acting in a manner liable for capital punishment, which you’re also guilty of. Sinas Yisrael is taking every single government handout possible and giving nothing material in return, such as paying taxes and working rather than using תורתינו הקדושה כקרדום לחפור בו. Sinas Yisrael is saying “Your children have to die protecting me, but my children will not die protecting you and yours”.
On the other hand, Sinas Yisrael is not expecting the Charedi community to pull its weight. Do I need to quote Moshe Rabbeinu’s statement to Reuven, Gan and half of Menashe to you? Only Chilonim want to shut down Yeshivos. The RZ community absolutely does not want that, and you declaring such is מוציא שם רע, מוציא לעז, רכילות and לשון הרע, and there certainly is no תועלת in such. What the RZ community wants is for the Charedi community to stop the התנשאות והתנהגות של גאווה toward everyone else and show they actually care. Without minimizing what the Charedi community has done during the last war, more needed to be done, and that more is specifically serving in the army and giving the RZ community a chance to rest.
Again, I have never said the IDF is perfect. However, the IDF has tried gone far out of its way to create frameworks for Charedim to stay Charedi in the army. The army lets people skip early morning lineups to daven, they bring in Rabbonim to speak (which Chilonim freak out about for no reason other than their total ignorance and שנאת תורה הקדושה), there is maximum effort to meet Kashrus standards. Meanwhile, it’s patently obvious that anyone Charedi who goes OTD while in the army already wanted to do so and is using the IDF as an excuse. But of course, you’ll just use the No True Scotsman fallacy to declare any Charedi person who has served to not truly be Charedi.
Lastly, for the millionth time: RZ does not worship the State as an idol. Period. The fact that you can’t see that reflects entirely on you.
