I think several commenters on this thread have carried their displeasure with Israel’s old-new draft induction into forbidden territory. Their comments resemble those of Gentile antisemites on Huffpost and Jewish antisemites on Mondoweiss. They speak of an imaginary demonic Israel-of-the-mind that conspires against Hashem and His people and is at fault for everything done to it and much else. Like the BDSers, they propose organizing to bring the country to its knees if not to its death. But there’s one difference: unlike the antisemites, these commenters of ours induct Hashem, the Torah, the rabbanim, and the halakha in support of their views, taking lashon hara to a new and ominous level. Please back down and back off, fast.
