ZSK – I’m not going to get into what Israel has done in terms of aborting babies. That quite frankly has nothing to do with it.
Sure it does… ואכמ״ל
ZSK – IDF service is a government policy and legal issue.
So was the Cantonist decree or any other גזרות שמד.
ZSK – Charedim are in the govermnent and play a major role, therefore the policy and law concerns them.
They are there, and they can leave. The Kanoyim are still here after 77 years of not being in the government or taking money from them. If they call their bluff, there won’t be anything remaining for the Left to leverage.
ZSK – I lived in Bnei Brak for several years and also saw their lifestyle close up. What I saw was clearly very different from what you saw.
ממה נפשך, if they are for real, they will listen to the גדולי תורה. If not ח״ו, they will have an opportunity to choose. I also have seen a lot in almost 30 years of living in Israel, though I don’t agree with your assessment. My gut feeling is that when push comes to shove more are for real than you think. (I also think that the real loser of this מצב will be the AG/Bagatz Junta, becaus more ‘Chilonim’ are מאמינים than many here think, and civil war ר״ל is not an option for anyone.)
