ifti99:
“Kanoi: No, it is preferable to live off perfectly legal government programs and learn full time than to work.
I totally totally disagree with this attitude on so many levels that I can’t even begin.”
Nothing personal, but if ifti99 disagrees with an attitude and the Gedolim support, I’m gonna go with the Gedolim.
“Do you realize that in Israel and America, the view of chareidi life gets more negative every day?”
Again, we will not compromise on what we believe just to improve our image.
“refusing to do anything to help other Jews other than themselves.”
Speaking motzei shaim ra about hundreds of thousands of Jews is not something you want on your cheshbon; kindly stop doing so.
“Your other comments like ” The Chareidim have just as much of a right to the land as the Zionists do. Would you be singing the same tune if the Chareidim passed a law that nobody could go to work?” are even more insane. Is that really what you want? Pass a law that no one should work?”
What is up with you and twisting my words? I did not in any way suggest that we should “Pass a law that no one should work”; I said that kicking anybody who want to learn full-time out of Eretz Yisroel is as ridiculous as kicking out anybody who works full-time.

“it’s Chillul HaShem and hisgarus be’Umos.”
Again, says you. Personally, I’m gonna go with the Gedolim’s definition of chillul Hashem and hisgarus be’Umos.
