    sorry, aaq. I didn’t [and still don’t] see any other post suggesting their own protection, so I figured it was a misinterpretation of my post.

    @AAQ
    I’m assuming that your post was a [cowardly] response to me.
    If so, you characteristically completely missed the boat.

    I’m making a completely reasonable declaration that in order to mandate a draft you have to A]risk the soldiers’ lives not one iota more than necessary. B]Be out to win the war. {I don’t remember if I actually discussed B} in my above post, but it’s still true.}
    Failure to do that voids any right to make a draft.

    Now, the questions: SO, what’s gonna be? What should we do? Do you want to die?

    Great questions. Excellent questions. Phenomenal questions. I’m not offering any answer.
    But it remains true. In order to have the right to impose a draft, the government must meet the above two criteria.

    Lies or not, I think it’s a colossal mistake for Chareidim to object to the draft based on either shmad or bitul torah.
    These reasons, at best, are not going to appeal to ochlei nleveilos utreifos.

    But the real reason to be anti the draft- for EVERYONE–is that the government, and the IDF, have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS ASKING–DEMANDING–PEOPLE TO RISK THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY COULDN’T GIVE A HALF A BLAST ABOUT IT.
    They do their best to put the soldiers on the line to kiss up to their American enemies. To save Gazan terrorists. The people are SICK and have no business whatsoever drafting anyone.

    “anti-Semitism has been preceived as un-American and always had to be done in the shadows with a non-racist cover story – if the “Progressives” win it will the first time in the almost 250 history of the republic that it is acceptable to be an open anti-Semite.”
    Sorry, the wokes do have a cover story.
    The dead babies in Syria. Oops, I meant Gaza.
    And Israel’s illegal occupation.

    Last time we were promised such great news, it turned out to be a major disappointment. [the red wave].

    Hard question to answer, except maybe what huju said. Bibi apparently thinks caving in to the pressure is the correct response. Hard to argue, if Israel is dependent on the USA.
    What is clear is that Israel must become militarily dependent and work on making their own weapons. The weakness of the state is so blatant, which is what Arabs feed off.

    Avira, terrible idea. Currently Israel is a few years behind American depravity, why expedite it?

    “But once they were already ‘stolen’, then it no longer reflects the results of an election and it would not be a crime. But then the defense would have to prove that it was ‘stolen’ in the first place. ”

    Why? Innocent until proven guilty. Onus is on prosecution.

    “Jack and 2cents are correct.”
    Hope you realize that Jack and 2scents are not saying the same thing. Jackk doesn’t give any dispensation for stealing back an election; 2scents forbids it only because the State already certified it. Which, from what I recall, is incorrect. I think Trump asked Brad to “find” the votes before it was certified. Again, I might be wrong.
    Either way, if there is no way to overturn a stolen election, other than fighting it in court systems which all turn it down due to technical reasons, I got to sympathize with Trump here. Legal or not, I don’t know, but what else could rectify a wrong? I also don’t know what the big crime is in asking Brad to find votes–sounds legal. Whatever.

    As Tova pointed out, it’s terrible, as it teaches children to disobey school rules.

    Besides that, the entire series culminates with the heroizing and whitewashing of a truly bad man, due to his incapability of getting over his ex-girlfriend. A sleaze bag and jerk, who punishes Gryffindorers but give Slytheriners a free pass, Snape was a DEATH EATER who never changed his hashkafos. Indeed, he continued calling Voldemort the Dark Lord. But he begrudgingly agreed to save Harry, and betray his beliefs, not because he caused the death of two people, but because one of those people (a married woman) was his love.

    Article II, Section I, Clause 8 of the Constitution requires the President to be sworn in. It does not say that his Presidency is contingent on the oath. Hence, Atchison became President despite not having taken the oath.

    “In 1880, Atchison wrote in a letter, “I never for a moment acted as President of the U.S.””
    Acting as President certainly is not required to be the President. With your argument, you can say that Biden is also not the President.

    The Longest Pesach: R’ Yechezkel Landau was walking one day, when he noticed a nochri boy sitting and crying. He inquired, and the boy replied that every day he sells a basket of his uncle, the baker, ‘s bread but today it fell and he can’t sell it and his uncle will beat him mercilessly. R’ Landau gave him the amount of money he needed.
    Years later, one Pesach, the boy–now a man–knocks on his door, and informs him that his uncle is plotting to kill all the Jews in the city. After Pesach every year, they all come to buy bread from him. He would poison the bread this year. R’ Landau must foil the plot, but without the uncle discovering the nephew gave him away.
    On Acharon Shel Pesach, R’ Landau made an announcement in shul that there was a mistake in the calendar and that it was really the 7th day of Pesach. That night, or next morning, when everyone was observing Acharon Shel Pesach, he contacted the chief of police, who fed the bread to a dog, and found it to be poisoned. The baker was arrested, and R’ Landau announced that the calendars were right after all.

    1. Why was he not oveir lo sichaneim?
    2. What heter was there to extend Pesach and cause all those brachos levatalos?
    3.Even if there is a heter, would it have been so hard to concoct a different story, maybe that all the flour in the country was found to be owned by a Jewish heretic (and came in contact with water), and hence no one may eat it?

    “Rav Ovadia permitted saying a “mi sheberach” for a ‘םומגקג Druze soldier and a hashkava for the Druze police officer killed in the Har Nof massacre”

    Which “Rav Ovadia?” R’ Yosef?
    Which “har nof massacre”? The one in which R’ Twersky zt”l and three others were murdered? (I don’t know of any others, sure hope there weren’t.)

    R” Ovadia Yosef was niftar a year before the Har Nof massacre.
