Why is voting for wzo any worse than 99% of the Yidden and mosdis that try to get any shekel they can out of the medina?
ReplyDeleteAfter the unfortunate founding of the zionist regime state some rabbis said there might be a heter under certain circumstances to join in order to fight better as a horas shaah, since מדינה שאני.
DeleteWe take from the accursed medina just like we were forced to deal with the czar. The end of the zionist enterprise will be like that of the czar bkorov. We frum will never serve in the IDF
Delete77year hoaraas shaah?
DeleteMaybe they should relocate to Iran, where there'll be. welcomed. And they .won't. Have. To serve in the ayatollahs army
Your mind-boggling curses and imprecations against other Yidden is reason to suspect your pedigree. Yidden are careful not to abuse or weaponize speech directed at brethren.
DeleteTo rephrase the question since it’s assur to join the Zionists what’s the heter to join the Knesset? Reb reuven addresses this question and explains what the heter was to join you can check it up in bayos hazman
ReplyDeleteBecause when voting there’s a clause to sign that you agree with Reform views
ReplyDelete9:01pm That's sheker gamur. On the contrary, voting for the frum means fighting against Reform. The Jerusalem Program which is the main point of contention says as follows
Delete"Zionism, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, brought about the establishment of the State of Israel, and views a Jewish, Zionist, democratic and secure State of Israel to be the expression of the common responsibility of the Jewish people for its continuity and future."
My QUESTION is if you BMG would close if you didn't check this off on a computer would you do it?
Obvious answer:Of course.eg In some places the frum sign on to UJA auspices which promote the same as WZO,maybe worse
DeleteAre those views not reform?
Deleteit is OPRESSION
DeleteNothing to do with reform views it’s the Zionist views and organization that’s the issue (joining with reform can possibly add to the issue )
ReplyDeleteAnd by taking money from the marina and sitting in the government like the Agudah does u r not seeing with them??
ReplyDeleteNope as reb reuven explains the difference you can look it up yourself ( in short the Knesset is not an organization and joining is not agreeing to any Zionist ideas it’s a place where they decide the laws of the land hence Arabs are part of the Knesset but there can never be an Arab slate in the wzo)
DeleteThey claim to be there to fight for their own existence and rights.
DeleteEither two wrongs, if, will not make even one right.
But, if you're trying to understand you can study the history a little bit. Follow the words of their gedloim over the past 200 years.
10:03, He was very clear.Only if you're in Knesset to fight.
ReplyDeleteHeaven forbid to join in hatikva ;shake hands with the Speaker pervert;& pretty much everything else that happens there & in the rest of country eg how many charedim don't celebrate Yom Haatzmaut.Reality is a far cry mockery from his declaration.
Hence its unfortunately moot
He was not very clear. What he makes very clear is that this is not a clear cut question that can have a psak about all situations. I went through some of Bayos Hazman and all of his kuntres about dealing Resoyim and mumrim. I do not know what he would say if he were alive today. I can say that he did not share a lot of the sentiment of some of kanoim who quote him
DeleteShake hands with deHaan speaker pervert is OK?
DeleteAgudah saying vote for Democrats perverts is OK, cause they bring in money to Agudah askanim.
7:04,
DeleteSo in a nutshell-we can agree then
7:16 Wide difference between him vs the Speaker.Back then
DeleteA.IT wasn't so glaringly obvious
B.He seemed to be in the process of teshuva
Last day to discuss this topic, then a hiatus for five years.
ReplyDeleteEnough of the bashing. Most people who compare the 'zionist' to the czar and they have no education on this. They have no idea how it was living ounder czaarist rule.
DeleteBH yeshivas and frummeh have flourished since the founding of the medina and will bezh continue ot grow in eretz yisroel. There are many who are for yeshivas and kollel in eretz yisroel. This never happened in czarist russia. BH for the medina and hkbh should continue to protect all the yiden in eretz yisroel. Just stop with all the bashing. Enough!
You know, I was reading over Shabbat qthe advertising insert promoting the new "shidduch initiative". Without commenting on content, Rav Hirsch never actually says what to do, except one quote where he specifically disavows a time certain (pesach to Shavuot for the girls, never really says it) and no specific time limit for the boys bochurim.
DeleteAll the other RYs refer to the unsiecified daas Torah, and don't specify a specific time period.
And of the the capi-de-tutti-capis here in Lakewood hazingly mention the problem and daas Torah, without mentioning any solution.
Just like he doesn't commit to shidduch timing, he can't commit to WZO.
7:24AM,
DeleteProjecting your own inadequacy.
All that flourishing, insofar as it remains, has been largely in spite of- rather than because of-the medina.As has been stated perennially from various sources since 1948.
Furthermore,how many generations of communal casualties shall we continue to endure for the sake of that supposed narrow possibly vapid Flourishing?!
Actually the Satmar Rebbe Shita is the only one that makes sense , all others full of contradictions.
ReplyDeletesatmar has plenty of contradictions too. the most glaring one is they claim to be against hisgaarus b'umos when they clearly couldn't clear less about that in the U.S.
DeleteI'm not a follower of the Brisker haskafa about Zionism but it is the only very anti-Zionist group that has no inherent contradictions in it's haskafa.
DeleteFor an adolescent- basically
DeleteNo it is because of the medina if not for avoidance of the draft very few people would learn in yeshiva. America had the same factor just the Vietnam war. Once the change was instituted it could continue afterwards but staying in yeshiva was only for the few until draft avoidance
