ROTFL – classification for army purposes?
LOL the only one I would want would be 24 – exempt on (usually ideological) grounds. I think you are confusing me with a friend of mine who wanted to serve but was denied because he said outright he was a Chabadnik and wanted to mekarev Yidden in the army.
It is possible to hate an ideology without hating a person. Do we hate the simple Jew who goes to a Reform tembel? No. Far from it. I pity him and want to bring him closer, but if I can’t or I am not the one to do it I leave him be. Do I hate Eric Yoffie? Not sure. Do I despise the memory of Stephen Wise of less than blessed memory? You bet! Do I despise reform ideology. Absolutely. Do I look the other way when I pass a reform tembel? Yes, I do. The reform tembel is the state, Eric Yoffie is its present leader, and reform ideology is secular Zionism.
Now, should I post my recipe for Ukrainian lye cake in the recipes section? Does anyone really want to experience directly what a destructive force does even when the rest of the equation is beneficial?
