An op-ed in the popular Israeli ultra-Orthodox daily newspaper Yated Ne’eman on Thursday says that Israel is to blame for the increase in global anti-Semitism, and that as long as the Haredim continues to be harassed, and religious adherence continues to slip—-it will only get worse.
THE TIMES OF ISRAEL reports that the op-ed particularly calls out Israel’s founders, saying they “hoped that the established state would solve the problem of anti-Semitism. They sought to save the bodies at the cost of forsaking the souls.”
“Salvation is dependent on one condition—-that the will of God be done,” the piece states. “The more Haredim and torah scholars are harassed, the more Jews will be harassed around the globe.”
The op-ed comes on the heels of Sunday’s release of the Annual Anti-Semitism Report from Israel’s Information and Diaspora Ministry, which said that despite the fact that actual violent attacks on Jews worldwide was down in 2013, anti-Semitic sentiment is increasing.
How Absurd? How crazy can one be to believe this stuff?
And what a vile and disgusting piece of printed word. If it wouldn't have been for the "Zionist "state, the Jews of the camps and europe who not have had a safe haven.
If it wouldn't have been for the "Zionist" state, the chareidim of today would not be riding the number 2 bus in safety to daven at the Kosel.
If it wouldn't be for the "Zionist" state they wouldn't all be able to schnor from the very government that they hate while other Jewish souls, somebody's son, husband , father or brother die and spill blood so they can live in safety with their hands out.
This article implies that its ok that 1/3 of the country, and increasing, not only don't work but also expects this very "wicked government" to support them as well.
Kids are starving and living in gaza-like conditions but its all mesiras nefesh for torah. Where else in the whole wide world can you find this situation feasible?
