zdad:
“It seems the Dati Leumi in israel would rather be with Chilonim than Charedim. HONESTLY ask yourself why.”
To be brutally honest, I think it’s because Bennet, and the left-wing D”L community in general, have more in common with the chillonim than the Chareidim, both socially and ideology. They were finally forced to choose between the religious and the Zionist, and their choice speaks volumes about their true priorities. They are Zionists first, religious second.
Avi K:
“Kanoi, I don’t know where you live but b”H I have lived in Israel for 25 years and I know people who work even though they have not done the Army for various reasons (too old when they came, medical reasons etc.).”
Could be. But if somebody doesn’t serve because he is learning, he is not allowed to work.
rebdoniel:
“Torat Yisrael, Medinat Yisrael, Am Yisrael.”
See, now that scares me. You seem to be equating the importance of a secular state with an at best mixed record of behavior towards Torah and those who observe it to the importance of both the existence Hashem’s eternal Torah and the existence of Klal Yisroel, Hashem’s chosen people. Besides being completely and ridiculously untrue, that is highly problematic, to say the least.
