DIN: This idea that "a Holocaust is preferable to being drafted in the IDF" is not new, extremist "gedoilim" said this when the Jewish State was established in 1948.
It is interesting to note that this statement did not come from any "gadol" that experienced the Holocaust, it did not come from any "gadol" who had his wife murdered or his children shot or gassed.
Is it a wonder that just 75 years later, teenagers who supposedly learn the Torah all day, and shokel and shokel by davening would have hundreds of posters stating that "a Holocaust is preferable" than protecting their families in the IDF?
Do they even know what happened in the Holocaust? There is presently absolutely no Holocaust curriculum taught in any of the Chareidie Moisdois , and they are prohibited from visiting Yad Veshem! The Kloizenberger Rebbe Z"L used to say that the Holocaust was the worst tragedy to have befallen the Jewish people in its entire history, and added, that it was worse than the destruction of both Bais Hamikdashs' the Crusades and all the pogroms.
I'll bet that every single one of those 6 million martyrs would have preferred joining the IDF than having their limbs chopped off while still alive by the Ukrainian murderers. I'll bet that the women who watched their babies torn from their arms and thrown into the pits to be buried alive, would have preferred their husbands joining the IDF!
So far, not one "gadol" has said anything about this disgusting vile public display by "Bnei-Torah!"
Is it any wonder that with this mentality sanctioned by their Roshei Yeshivos, that hundreds of thousands are opting out of Yiddishkeit.
Hundreds of Chareidim staged protests across Jerusalem and Bnei Brak on Wednesday after a call to demonstrate was put out by the extremist Jerusalem Faction, stopping traffic on major roads following the arrest of a young ultra-Orthodox man after he failed to show up to his call-up on Tuesday.
The protests come at a tense time amid the dialogue surrounding the draft law, with a new version of it, The Conscription Law, sparking controversy within the government, with ultra-Orthodox parties threatening to dissolve the coalition if it is not passed immediately following the Knesset’s summer break, scheduled to end after the High Holy Days in October.
In Jerusalem, protesters held up numerous signs at the demonstration. One read “A Holocaust is preferable to recruiting yeshiva students.”
Calm down.
ReplyDeleteWhen dealing with a brainwashed cult, not so certain that they wouldn't prefer torture and martyrdom to joining the IDF, if that is what they've been brainwashed about.
ReplyDeleteThe government should put up their own posters: If you're out here protesting, you don't believe Torah learning protects you or you'd be learning. Welcome to the IDF, boys!
