Shas chairman Aryeh Deri said that the reason for the downfall of disgraced former Military Advocate General [MAG] Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is that she was one of the main figures who pushed for the arrests of lomdei Torah.
Deri’s words were quoted in the Shas’s HaDerech newspaper: “Look how the Creator runs the world,” he said. “The MAG was one of the leading figures pushing for the arrest of bnei yeshivos. She stood at the forefront of the battle against lomdei Torah, urging military authorities to arrest more and more bnei yeshivos.”
“She unintentionally caused the organization of the mass atzeres tefillah. She created the power of tefillos b’rabim that pierced the heavens, and in doing so, brought about her own downfall.”
The Vizhnitzer Rebbe said similar words in a drasha over Shabbos, saying that the MAG’s arrest was the result of her harming lomdei Torah.
“They are the most ruthless judicial officials toward the Jewish people and the Chareidi sector,” the Rebbe said. “They try to curry favor and prettify themselves in the eyes of the goyim while defaming Am Yisrael and speaking ill of them, seeking approval from the nations of the world.”

Didn’t need someone with a סמיכה or/& PHD to figure out something so clearly & patently as obvious as this.
Yes. He’s right. Anyone who doesn’t understand that should not speak in the name of the “Yeshiva World”. Hope to Hashem that the ongoing investigation should begin to shed light on the inner workings of the Israeli “Deep State”.

If people would really understand the depth of how treacherous these people’s actions were, you wouldn’t settle for anything less than the death penalty. And even that wouldn’t be enough Justice
coffee addict:
Do you know the halachic parameters of to whom that does and does not apply? If not, then why issue halachic proclamations?

Sorry coffee addict, but
באבד רשעים רינה…..
benafel oivecha is talking about personal enemies, hence oivecha, the cha means yours, but resha’im is general…..
As I’ve understood it, the passuk refers to Jewish רשעים you would rather them do תשובה rather than fall whereas by גוים it says ואתה על במותיך תדרוך that you should be happy when a גוי enemy falls
