benignuman -“Health and Kanoi,
However, the Chareidim (other than those in Nachal Hacharedi) are not risking their lives. They have only the upside without the downside. People avoid army service, not because they don’t value protecting Jews, but because they are afraid of death and serious injury.
It is not the learning of Torah Jews that generates animosity, it is the fact that they do not put themselves in a position where they might have to make the ultimate sacrifice.”
Are you saying some sort of Chiddush here? Welcome to reality. When Ben-Gurion said the Frumme don’t have to go to the army – he understood that army guys risk their lives. So why did he do it? Because he knew if there would be a country without people learning Torah and Shomrey Torah & Mitzvos – the country wouldn’t make it past their first war. So fast forward 60 years, instead of the Zionists who go to the army, and their families, whether Frum or not, thanking the Charedim for their existence, they start whining.
Do you want some cheese with that Whine?
