    YYA, I was just objecting to your assertion that “fighting is more honorable than being a pushover” has no mekor in the Jewish Hashkofah. That is all.

    YYA, the kovod of Malchus Yisroel is an aspect of the Kovod of Malchus Shamaim. But was is it increased by fighting sometimes?!? Maybe it should be increased by being pushovers? That is my whole point.

    YYA, for crying out loud! I am not saying that the current state of Israel has a valid Sanhedrin and a fully valid king. I am talking about about the Haskofic reason for going to war.
    And increasing “shemao” is not just deterrence.

    YYA, LOOK in Rambam Hilchos Melochim (5:1) where he paskens that a Melech Yisroel is allowed to wage war to increase his renown. Ab kdei kach!

    YYA, are you thinking or just shooting from the hip? Stop being so self-assured. I was talking about the Hashkofic reasons for going to war.
    Anyhow, the war was actually started by the Jews. The beginning of the fighting happened “at the opening of the city” of Rabbat of Ammon. Or nearby – according to Divrei Ha’Yomim.
    Btw, you were also this way self-assuredly wrong about the money for Keren Ha’Torah.

    YYA, the Rambam paskens that a Melech Yisroel is allowed with a premission of Sanhedrin to go to a war of reshus.
    An example of such a war is Dovid Ha’Melech’s war on Ammon which was declared because the king of Ammon gravely insulted and expelled Jewish diplomats. I suppose for the kingdom of Israel being publicly pushed around is enough of a reason to go to war. See anything about “dying with honor”?

    YYA, on a different note: there are reports about negotiations (between the Chareidi leadership and others) to pass the Chareidim draft law. So, what happened to the money that was sure to arrive from chutz la’Aretz which would allow the Chareidim to be independent?

    YYA, both, Rav Chaim Volozhiner and Ba’al Ha’Tanya based themselves on Kabbalistic sources. How to interpret them was (is) a matter of great dispute. The Gra held that the Chassidim dangerously misunderstand them. He was afraid (one the things) they may make their Rebbes into avoda Zora’s ( as happened with some in Chabad).

    Flaming Achmed (the troll), at first, I wanted to answer your claims point by point, but then I thought that you yourself should know why your claims are false, outrageous slander. So, I decided not to waste my time on a detailed response.

    Chiefsmerel, not being buried in a Jewish cemetery means not being buried next erlache Yidden. The Halochah is that we bury even Jewish reshoim in a Jewish cemetery — just not next to the erlache Yidden.

    Ujm, the Beis Ha’Levi held that Chassidim may not be buried in a regular Jewish cemetery because the cheirem was still in force.

    Akuperma, COVID killed mostly older (including enough people in their 40-s) and people with medical conditions? But we want those to live also, right? Not only the unborn babies. The vaccine side-effects? Who told you about them? And, yea, the doctors and the scientists do not know what they are talking about. Only the conservatives with no medical degree do. STOP repeating the wicked conservative distortions!!!

    YYA, already during the second year visit the Gedolim have not reached their fundraising goals, and they were told to reach a compromise regarding the military service, and the Gedolim said that they never knew they would have to come again. Ok?
    And the over 100 millions is not all the money the government can cut.

    YYA (somejewiknow ?), right. And that’s why the Gedolim from E. Yisroel have been going to chutz la’aretz to try to collect money to the tune of over 100 millions a year.
    Satmar? They have able to have so many people in E. Yisroel and in kollel?

    Somejewiknow (who does not know enough), are you familiar with the Gemora in Pesochim, perek Ha’Isha, in which HKB”H told Hoshea, the prophet, that the Jews have sinned (including avodah zorah); to which Hoshea suggested that HKB”H exchange them for a different nation, and HKB”H got angry with him? Any comments?

    Yankel Berel, secure Zionism is based on kefira. They deny that the golus and the punishments are min Ha’Shamaim. They say it is all derech ha’teva. And that they can save the Jews by having a strong army and a medina (which is also silly in addition to the apikorsus). And they say that the golus could have been prevented by having a strong army and a strong medinah (shoitim!!).

    Ujm, Rav Moshe Feinstein held there was no violation of the 3 shvous because the Nations gave their reshus. Reb Ya’akov also did not agree. AND THE REASON WHY THE OTHER GEDOLIM DID NOT AGREE WITH THE REBBE ABOUT WHAT TO DO le’ma’ase is because THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH HIS SHITTA IN HIS SEFORIM. Stop dreing the kup already and dispute the obvious and well-known. And I am not even talking about Chacham Ovadia who made Shas a part of WZO. ENOUGH already!

    Menachem Shmei, when other Yidden say “tzaddik” they mean what the Gemora and Medroshim imply — someone who does the right things, does not do aveiros be’meizid (and if, chas ve’sholom, he did derech mikre, he does full teshuvah right away). It is very different from the Tanya’s chiddush of how to define one.

    Number 2, “there is no public record of the Rebbe doing an aviera…”. That is the proof that he like Dovid ha’Melech killed his yetzer ha’ra (which is the Tanya’s definition of of a tzaddik). Are you for real?!?!
