ReplyDeleteThis is more proof min hashamayim that the Zionists are provoking the Aibishter with their war on Torah, on yeshivas, on halacha, on Shabbos. They think they can beat the world with their kochi vetzem yodi army but they cannot even beat primitive guys living in rocks and free their own soldiers. They cannot stop a fire on their most lehavdik helege day. Stop your fight against us true frum and MAYBE you will get zchusim through our learning.
ReplyDeleteFirst huge fires in Iran, then huge fires in Israel, is it that difficult to connect the dots?
ReplyDeleteWhat took you so long to comment?
ReplyDeleteI read this here two hours ago, and it took you so long to blame on Tziyonim?
They should have hired the Waretown police, who arrested their arsonist in two days
Maybe it was some yeshivish kids who were celebrating korbon chaggigah? Maybe they. Were practicing hvrutas tumult before leaving for US,,?
Either way some of worst Yom hazikaron Yom Haatzmaut worshippers are Anglos of bet Shemesh.Somehow the arson celebration canceling started there
