1. It’s just amazing how every third guy online and in the media knows all of Hashem’s chesbonos and why things do or don’t happen. I give this credit because at least he is saying someone positive. Most of the great experts about why Hashem does things and how he views things that you see online are only capable of being negative…

2. Hes probably right.

3. Kol Hakavod!!!

   Sadly Bibi himself wouldn’t concur! But Yinon Migal is absolutely right.

4. We shouldn’t blame Bibi’s grandchildren for Bibi’s failures. Even Golda Meir (the last “loser”) left Israel no worse off than when she took office. With Trump getting ready to stab Israel in the back (make a deal for Iranian oil that leave Iran building WMD to destroy Israel), and the Democrats leaning towards cutting our throat “from the river to the sea” and to bring that spirt of intifada to America — Bibi’s tenure will not be remembered favorably by anyone. BUT DO NOT BLAME THE FRUM GRANDCHILDREN.

5. Netanyahu’s grandfather was a Rov so תורה מחזרת ליושנה.

6. Very true. We all saw the pictures of his grandsons who went to meet the Satmar rebbe when the rebbe was in Jerusalem.

7. Apukerma- why would we not remember him favorably when he has a list of accomplishments that can’t be listed in anything less than a gigantic book of victories. People want to ignore all the good that he accomplished because maybe not everything went his way in the end? That’s called kafoy tov.

8. This is so arrogant
   No one knows why He has been successful and also failed many times

9. Bibi has six [last I remember] Chareidi grandchildren from his daughter [from his first marriage] Noa and son-in-law Daniel Roth. They are Breslover Chassidim, live in Yerushalayim, and don’t vote…

   It’s interesting that Yinon Magal is more pro-Chareidi than some of the commenters on “Yeshiva World” News.

   BZG – Could be part of the חשבון. One thing I heard from several Rabbonim about בעלי תשובה in general is that his Bubbie’s tears davening for his father to stay on the Derech didn’t work for him, but they worked for the great-grandchildren. Something to think about when we don’t see an immediate answer to our Tefillos.

   akuperma – I’m not a big fan of Bibi, but why are Trump’s mishegassen his fault? Let alone those of the Democrats and Progressives who despise him. How is he supposed to control these things? Hashem runs the world, and He will protect us.

10. We do know. Stop putting your heads in the sand. We do know why things happen. We know why Oct 7 happened. It’s obvious. We know especially if you’re religious. The more religious the more you know. I have yet to see or hear something and found myself not knowing why. That’s why we have brains and a Torah that teaches us why things happen.

11. A real “me’toch shloi lishma”. They’re all draft dogers..

12. Maybe, his grandchildren learning is due to the family zechus in caring for Am Isroel? And learning is in the family. I don’t know about grandparents, but Bibi’s father was a good historian producing good work on Jewish history, including of Abarbanel.

13. Abukerma- say at least rachmaino litslan after you give such predictions about Yisroel.

    Flatbush Yid. I normally would not respond to you but I’ll make an exception this time . If you believe that you know why things happen then you clearly have not learned enough Torah. To quote the Rambam in Hilchos Teshuva:

    וְשִׁקּוּל זֶה אֵינוֹ לְפִי מִנְיַן הַזְּכֻיּוֹת וְהָעֲוֹנוֹת אֶלָּא לְפִי גָּדְלָם: יֵשׁ זְכוּת שֶׁהִיא כְּנֶגֶד כַּמָּה עֲוֹנוֹת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: “יַעַן נִמְצָא בוֹ דָּבָר טוֹב”; וְיֵשׁ עָוֹן שֶׁהוּא כְּנֶגֶד כַּמָּה זְכֻיּוֹת, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: “וְחוֹטֵא אֶחָד יְאַבֵּד טוֹבָה הַרְבֵּה”.
    and of most relevance the Rambam continues
    וְאֵין שׁוֹקְלִין אֶלָּא בְדַעְתּוֹ שֶׁל אֵ-ל דֵּעוֹת וְהוּא הַיּוֹדֵעַ הֵיאַךְ עוֹרְכִין הַזְּכֻיּוֹת כְּנֶגֶד הָעֲוֹנוֹת!!!

    I’ll leave you with one simple easy to answer question just to prove that your views are not based on your knowledge of Torah. Who is the person the Posuk the Rambam quotes as “יַעַן נִמְצָא בוֹ דָּבָר טוֹב” a reference to and what was the zchus he had?

15. >>>Who is the person the Posuk the Rambam quotes as “יַעַן נִמְצָא בוֹ דָּבָר טוֹב” a reference to and what was the zchus he had?

    I’ll answer my own question since I’m so confident that Flatbush yid does not know the answer anyway . It is a reference to the son of Yeruvem Ben Nevot. His zchus according to Chazal wasn’t anything he actually actively did. It was just that as an officer in his fathers army he did not actively prevent people from being oleh regel to Yerushalyim. I don’t know Hashem’s chesbonos but one can easily argue that Netanyahu has similar zechusim. He is under a lot of pressure to draft Lomdey Torah. He could make life a lot easier for himself were he to tell the Chareidi parties to get lost and make a coalition with those who want to draft them. Yet he doesn’t. Who could know how that is viewed in Shomayim?

16. >>>Abukerma- say at least rachmaino litslan after you give such predictions about Yisroel.

    Anti-Zionists don’t work or think that way. The Posuk says that Elisha Hanavi cried terribly when telling Chiel that he would become king of Aram. When Chiel asked him why he was crying that way he answered that he knows (through real nevuah…) that Chiel will make October 7th like attacks on Israel (due to their averos that were far worse than the Zionists). For Elisha Hanvi the mere thought of such things happening brought him to terrible tears even without actually mentioning them (he only mentioned them after Chiel asked him what he was crying for) Some of the anti-Zionists say their predictions of such things with borderline glee.
