Kanoi, and if the Chareidim do not hold of them, they should not insist on living off them!
First of all, the Charaidim who do not hold of the Medina at all do not take any government funds.
Second, this has absolutely nothing to do with what I was saying (that the Israeli army is merely taking care of a problem that they themselves created, and should not be demanding the Charaidim’s help).
benignuman:
If one accepts that it is only due to the Torah being learnt by the Charaidim that the army is successful, are the Charaidim not doing their part? Would one claim that it’s “not right” that only the soldiers risk their lives in the IDF while the generals stay behind the lines? Or would you say that everyone must do their part to keep the country protected?
