“What is your point? That we don’t need soldiers or workers? Are you really serious?”
Correct. Every military insider knows the same.
Israel’s economy is amazingly vibrant. The growth includes areas such as agriculture, high tech, energy, textiles, finance, etc etc. How do you contribute to it? Chareidim are an integral backbone to every element mentioned.
You know who started the “cottage cheese revolution” in the summer of ’11? A chareidi in Bnei Brak, not poster girl Dafna Leef.
You know who got Gilad Shalit out of captivity? Can’t tell you, but it was a chareidi.
What is your point? That we don’t need soldiers or workers? Are you really serious? Israel’s military is the best in the region. They have survived against all odds as a lamb among 70 wolves.

‘You said “So they would’ve all gone to America. Big whoop.
Nope. The Good old U.S.A (and every other country for that matter) wasn’t too keen on taking in Jews and really didn’t care less about em-read a little history.’
You blame them? 4/10 members of the Communist Party USA in 1939 were Jews. The only district that elected a socialist party member to congress three times in a row was the Lower East Side.
“read a little history.”
you want me to pull rank?
You said “So they would’ve all gone to America. Big whoop.”
You said,
“You mean to tell me that Israel/Palestine opened up their borders during WW2? No, actually the Zionists told the English not to let the European Jews in.”
“Of course it didn’t it was controlled by the British who cared about Jewish life as much as the Americans-which was not at all. As far as the second part of the quote above; that is simply a distortion of what happened, there was a limited amount of visas being offered by the British and the Zionists pushed for Zionists to get as many as they could- they didn’t encourage the British to not let yidden in to eretz yisroel the British didn’t want too because they like the Americans didn’t give a hoot about the Jews.”
Do read up a little, even just this thread.
Ever heard of the 6%? 10%? 5,000 pounds? The meeting with Emir Fasel in 1919?
Every step preventing Jews from entering Palestine until (and partially including, all their pious protestations notwithstanding,) ’39 White Paper was pushed onto the British by the zionists (Jabotinsky excepting).
