    Fyi. Steipler writes clearly, black on white, in karyane de’igreta vol 1 , that

    it is assur to say lashon hara about dati leumi yehudim even if they [mistakenly] believe that the state is the forerunner of our ge’oula.

    they are not ‘begeder yatsa miklal amitecha’

    and are to be considered our brother in all halachik respects .
    .
    .
    obviously they are not jews for j

    obviously they are not OTD when fully observant

    obviously they are not ‘geshmad’

    .
    they are only ‘mistaken’ in one aspect , but still our brothers with

    a hiyuv de’oyraytah of ve’ahavtah leacha kamocha, towards them.

    @Square Root

    You blew this one big time

    “Chareidim are NOT INTERESTED in the training, hiring and paying hospital employees.”
    [square root]

    Guess you are completely unaware of Mayanei Yeshu’a Hospital in Bnei Brak. They train nurses and other hospital employees. A fully Chareidi hospital that has never gone on strike.

    The Haredi Freshwater family has supported this institution.
    Kudos to Dr Rothshild z’l , a fully haredi physician, who turned a dream into a reality.

    We should thank ujm for all his quotes proving that we are not in any atchalta degeoula , rather

    in a galut as a despised minority within a big and powerful majority of secularists.

    as the gra z’l stated that after the galuyot under the 4 malhuyot , there will be

    another a fifth galut under the erev rav within the jewish people.

    which has come to pass in our days

    the redifot that yeshiva bachurim and kolel men have to endure are no joking matter .

    @aaq

    there is no source whatsoever for the court to cancel any law

    a law is the expression of the sovereign , the one from where the court derives its own legitimacy

    go through the lawbook and find me one …

    there is no constitution in Israel , unlike other countries

    so the court cannot get it from the constitution.
    .

    without a source , they are … unauthorized !

    this is simple logic, totally appropriate for any person , religious or not , ha’arets or not .

    @aaq

    just the opposite .

    am not wearing any political hat at all

    am writing with a purely legal hat on my head.

    unauthorized decisions , overstepping their legal mandate , are legally null and void

    their legal authority derives from the elected knesset only

    they never received the authority to infringe on the legislative and executive branches ,

    not from the knesset , and not from any other elected representative body

    so using simple logic , in a strictly legal sense, their decisions are null and void , and

    are to be considered as if they legally never happened

    which leads us to the simple legal – not political- conclusion that those enforcing the draft are

    legally to be considered ‘kidnappers’ , nothing less.
    .

    those who are not happy with this legal arrangement have the option

    to run for seats in the knesset and attempt to find a legal majority to change this

    they had this option for the last 80 years in all of Israel’s elections and …

    they have never changed the law

    besides for the ‘tal law’ which was

    again , ILLEGALLY cancelled

    Lol.

    Katan suggests that a non defined ‘esav’ will take care of the land , or

    much more important,– the many millions of innocent women, men and children therein , while

    somejew prefers the local arabs who are supposedly ‘well regarded as good, respectable caretakers of the land’ …

    I am not sure whether to laugh or to cry , when reading such clear delusional propositions.

    Anyone with even only rudimentary knowledge of current events and recent history

    understands the massive bloody repercussions [H yishmerenu] from such irresponsible approaches

    there is no ‘havtuche’ anywhere in the torah that when hefker decisions are taken in regard to pikuach nefesh

    that nothing would happen to the endangered people.

    this is a clear halacha she’ela .

    not a hashkafa she’ela

    and there is a clear halacha response , in sh’a YD 157

    that pikuch nefesh is docheh any issur [besides the cardinal three] including the sfek sfek sfek sfek sfeika of the oaths’ issur

    which clearly is the ONLY driver of those totally delusional propositions of somejew and katan .

    .

    clearer than midday sun , that , when somejew and katan would be free from

    their imprisonment in the confines of the mental jail of the mistaken elevation of the oaths as one of the ikarei emuna,

    they , in their wildest dreams would not even think of advocating for such dangerous ideas.

    Over the past 50 years, the leftist self-appointed SC and the evil AG have completely rejected
    every compromise solution to the Israeli Draft Crisis.

    Somehow that fact is NEVER MENTIONED

    That fact does not fit into his narrative,

    I cannot understand why every answer of yours is again – sidestepping ….

    Obvious you would test the the navi.

    Obvious you would ask the navi what to do …

    The q is ,again, navi tested – tick.

    navi not available for advice , result of circumstances – tick.

    you have to decide on your own

    you know for a fact that 3 of your sons will return as a cripple

    you know for a fact that 3 of your sons will return without their religion

    the choice is clear – either you send all , or you send none

    what would you do ?

    send all ten ?

    or send none ?

    in both cases – the cripple case and the religion case –

    please don’t avoid , not asking for more than a simple clear cut answer ….

    @zsk

    “There isn’t much else to say about this ….”

    That sums it up . You are not willing to consider anything which goes against your preconceived opinion ….

    The facts however do not stack up .

    The same law you quote, gives the defense minister the authority to defer drafting .

    That was valid and legal enough for fifty long years .

    fifty long years after the law you quote came into effect.

    this was accepted practice and fully legal for half a century !

    accepted practice by all defense ministers irrespective whether haredi parties were part of the coalition or the opposition .

    only overturned by, seven merets voters aka supreme court UNAUTHORISED to do so.

    same with Tal law . – overturned by the same merets voters aka supreme court UNAUTHORISED to do so.

    those seven merets voters claimed that the tal law is ‘unconstitutional’ –

    a fancy word which is nothing more than plain baloney , as Israel has no constitution ….

    seven unelected leftists acting illegally have no power whatsoever

    to overturn the decisions of Israels duly elected executive and legislative branches of government

    so it simply follows , those enforcing the draft are nothing more than kidnappers

    and those deferring are doing so legally .

    it so happens that zsk concurs with those seven unelected merets voters on this particular issue

    but that does not make any of their illegal decisions any more legal …

    .
    It is always easier to shut down a losing debate by saying : I am not discussing this any further .

    one should follow facts and logic and nothing more ….

    which zsk is not really doing in our case ….

    you are entitled to your opinion – but that does not make the current draft any more legal ….

    from a strictly legal point of view – those enforcing the draft, are kidnappers and should be treated as such .

    sorry but you have not answered .

    the question is , when faced with the absolute knowledge that those are going to be the results , no matter the advice you are giving them ,

    You have 10 children – if you know, A NAVI TOLD YOU , that three of them are going to lose their religion because of their service , would you send them ?

    You have 10 children – if you know A NAVI TOLD YOU , that three of them are going to lose their health and come back as cripples because of their service , would you send them ?

    keep in mind that neither [religion and health] are a result of any enemy actions , both are the result of internal army structure and command

    If you could honestly answer both of those two questions …. without extra commentary.

    yb: The Zionists’ tremendous weakness in logic is very clear indeed.

    Since you asked:

    1] specifying exactly which country will take over – the nations can figure that out

    2] what that country plans to do when threats arise to the yidden – this is silly; what would you do if there are threats to Jews in Zimbabwe, for example? The government there would have to deal with it. Same in the holy land, with whichever government takes over from the Zionists.

    3] how many dead soldiers are they are willing to absorb before they will withdraw – zero, of course – it should be totally peaceful and bloodless, of course.

    4] what the situation will be after their withdrawal … – a normal and secure country unlike the Zionist paradise which is forever at war and takes billions of dollars a year to maintain that sorry state and “State”.

    the above are the ‘pearls’ from the one pretending to worry about the Jews .
