You dismissed the current article on YWN that I mentioned as just one example of why we should pray for our Jewish soldiers in Eretz Yisrael.
So let me ask you this…
What if, in the case of what happened in this article, (where the bomb squad dis-armed a bomb in a chareidi neighborhood)- What IF the IDF had said, NO we don’t service that neighborhood. They are anti-Zionist, and furthermore they have their mitzvos, their learning and praying to protect them. They don’t want us, they don’t like us, they don’t NEED us! We’re not going.
So what would you have said then? I would suppose you would have said that the IDF HAD to go there because it is the Zionists fault that the yishmaelim placed a bomb.
And I would say to you, that IF that is what you would say, then I would suggest that regardless of the cause, if the chareidim HAVE TO depend on the Zionist IDF to protect them, then maybe they they should not be living in a makom sakana where they do have to depend on the Zionists to save them. Maybe they should move to Brooklyn, or Monsey. Perhaps you might even agree with that. But the bottom line is that chareidim ARE living in Eretz Yisrael, and our Jewish boys in uniform ARE risking their lives to protect them, and the very least we can do is to mispalel for their welfare.
