And where, pray tell, is a better place for frum Yidden? In Europe, with the rampant anti-semitism? In the UK, where the Dept of Education is trying to force their curricula on the private schools? Even the Goldene Medina, where BH, Yidden have freedom and equal rights, the anti-semitism is still strongly felt. And there is inrterference in our chinuch as well as many nisyonos.
EY is a place that is blessed and it’s a mitzva to live there, even when it’s golus. There is no learning that equals Toras Eretz Yisroel. Its a hollow threat!
Israel’s United Torah Judaism leader, Ytzhak Goldknopf, sparked political uproar on Thursday after warning that the ultra-Orthodox community might consider leaving Israel if the government begins arresting yeshiva students who refuse military service. His remarks came after several Haredi draft evaders were recently detained, intensifying the already heated debate over conscription exemptions.
In an interview with the religious newspaper Makor Rishon, Goldknopf declared, “If there is no choice and the ultra-Orthodox have to leave the country, then they will leave the country. The ultra-Orthodox will not change their way of life because there is an army and a war. If the army is short 50,000 soldiers, go take the draft dodgers from Tel Aviv and Gush Dan.”

Imagine you're at a family party. Your obnoxious uncle who always has to be the centre of attention starts making a fuss because some of the appetizers aren't to his liking and if he doesn't get the snack he wants, he'll leave.
And everyone around the room, stick of his attitude, stare at him and silent think "Okay, bye."
