EOM, achdus is nice, and sinas chinam is not (not that I believe there is necessarily sina of any kind here). But this does not justify shmad. The IDF is a cultural organ, first and foremost. It happens to also be an army.
But any step to try to get chareidim into the IDF is for the sole purpose of acculturating them to the idolatry and kefirah of Zionism. As a bonus, the giluy arayos is also included.
As for akuperma’s “cavalier” attitude, I think his point is that, contrary to Zionist theology, the Holocaust is a part of galus just like the many other tragedies before it, Hashem Yishmor.
nfgo, since you mention the Torah’s great value of Jewish lives, what is your opinion on the thousands of Jewish lives sacrificed on the altar of Zionism and the State of Israel, especially before it “protected” any Jews?
