Harav David Stav, Chair of the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization, harshly rejected the criticisms voiced by Gafni (UTJ) targeting the Religious Zionist community amidst the ongoing debate over the IDF Enlistment Law.
In an interview with the Mashav channel, Rav Stav said, “Political powerbrokers show up and start making up halachot that are nowhere to be found in the Torah. There is no exemption in the Torah that allows yeshiva students to be absolved from serving in defense of the Jewish homeland, and there is certainly no exemption from the commandment to 'not stand idly by as your fellow man bleeds.' When your fellow Jew is in danger, you have no right to stand aside.”
Rav Stav further stated, “Haredi rabbis are demanding an exemption for all, simply because they wear a specific type of kippah or jacket. Where does such an idea come from that the Torah would possibly exempt religious people from a positive commandment of 'Milchemet Mitzva' (obligatory war), to go out and defend the land in times of war?”
Rav Stav urged members of the Religious Zionist community to avoid being intimidated by the haredi criticisms, saying,
“Don’t be ashamed by those who stoop to insults, and from those powerbrokers that have no real connection to Torah values and fear of God but are only driven by a quest for power, control, and dominance. We will continue on our path of the traditions laid by our forefathers, the path of love and respect for one another, the Torah, and the land of Israel.”

The RZ community's problem is a lack of self-sufficiency. There are not enough RZ sofrim, shochtim, teachers, etc. to make it independent of the Chareidi community so they always have to knuckle under to the UO fanatics' demands. This needs to change.
The Garnel Fingernel klippa who eagerly volunteers as DIN’s attack dog against Bnei Torah (who uses the anti-Semitic NY Times invention of “UO” for Charedim), appropriately speaks of Stav “knuckling”. Stav is a knucklehead who is closer to Open “Orthodox” than he is to Dati Leumi
I am not at all surprised that you would call Harav Hagoen Rav Stav Shlita a "knucklehead" after all YOU called the Zakon Hador Rav Shmuel Kaminetzki "Old Sam" and called Harav Belski "evil" so not only are you mevazeh Dati Leumi Talmeide Chachamim, but you are mevazeh your very own Charedim, so why should anyone be surprised?
As I said and will say it again and again, Charediem hate each other!
@anonymous - when you look in the mirror, do you see the same insignificant little pisher who thinks its ok to insult Rabbonim as we do??? Back to your gutter, little cockroach, and mind your derech eretz

So when Belsky went on his scorched earth attacks against those exposing Yudi Kolko-Yossi Kolko-Margo & participated in the beatings and financial shakedowns, that makes him a tzaddik?
Hay is for horses
It's Rav Belsky for you!
You can say that about Rav Dov Landau who knew about Walder 7 years ago! He knew that Walder had relations with a married lady and he said nothing!
You can say that about most Roshei Yeshivos who know and knew about abuse and did nothing!
Most RY take money from people who they know ripped off and impoverished others!
אין לדבר סוף
But Rav Stav Shlita did none of those things, why are you mocking him, because he has a different Hashkafa? Whose to say that yours is correct?
We here in Israel now see that the Charedie Hashkafa is fraudulent! It's based on half-truths and whole lies!
They say that's its "our mesorah" but that is a lie! Our Mesorah is to serve in the army! That's our mesorah!
They lie when they say that they are afraid that their bochrim will go off the derech if they join the IDF, because tens of thousands who are not in the army are going off the derech at a rapid pace!
My job is to expose these lies and B"H. Im finally changing the minds of thousands, I know because they email me and thank me!
Even if what you say about Rav Landau shlita is true, where did you ever see him attack the victim like Belsky was infamous for, maniacal screams & all? You have a lot of nerve promoting yourself as a victim advocate! And when it came to the beatings & financial shakedowns beshutfus with Mendel Epstein, Belsky created the victims himself instead of relying on the Kolkos & Margo!
Hey Tuchis Lekker
Landau actually backed Walder publicly and allowed Walder to keep writing in Landau's Yated even after the crap hit the fan, knowing that Walder had screwed a married Lady!
Rav Belski z"l wasn't perfect but a Gadol and the Landaus don't come to his shoestrings, but enough of that, what do you think of Trump?
