This is the failure of the Dati Leumi. Someone should've been there to intercept them, show them they could still be bnei Torah without being hateful fanatics.
I hope you're being sarcastic, Garnel. We can't be all things to all people all the time, while simultaneously raising our own families, earning a living, and defending the country. Besides, "everybody" in the haredi world knows that the worst thing you can be is a "mizruchnik"
Aderaba, this is a matter of great importance. The DL world is suffering attrition, mostly on its left flank as the less committed drift away. It is suffering extremism on its right flank as dogmatic Kahanism replaces intelligent religious Zionist thought. The goal of DL is to become the dominant part of Jewish society in Israel and push it towards becoming a more halakhic state in anticipation of the final ge'ulah. Therefore DL needs to be all things to all people. It must present the secular society with the possibility that living in the modern world and being Torah-committed are not contradictory things and it needs to present the Chareidim who are looking for intelligent Judaism with that option.
Garnel, Eloquently put.Albeit with a caveat. RYBS stated something quite similar to his grandson.He grimly concluded:'But they're aren't'. His grandson responded sardonically: problem is nobody seems to have told Mizrachi [DL] about this

Listen to Garnel who has become toit shikker on his Dati-Leumi Utopian Kool Aid! I should’ve thought of DL myself!
