Syag:
Just in time for ???? ???? and the ????? of Shaul. When Shaul couldn’t get himself to “hate” the king of Aggag, a Bas Kol announced “?? ???? ????”, we all know what the second Bas Kol came for.
?? ????? ?? ???????…
OK, The Torah says to kill out an Ir Hanidachas. WHAT?!? How could one do that? Aren’t we supposed to love every Jew etc… Such cruelty?!? Where’s our Rachmonus?
True and absolute mercy is where HaShem deems it so. Otherwise it’s not really the Torah-oriented Middah of Rachmonus, not really true mercy. That is the message of ????? ????. Getting rid of a Rasha is indeed mercy. For him and for the world.
As for me, someone is attacking me, My Creator, My Torah (NO SMALL ATTACK) – I’ll fight back. No. Now is not the time for asking sha’alos. Sha’alos one asks if one must hate a “Frum Faker”, an abuser, a spitter etc. She’s slapping me (big-time), I’m slapping back. Period. You’d do no differently.
