    I am one of those that are happy in his heart for what is transpiring in Iran.

    This memshelas haresha (Iran) had been causing havoc to acheinu beis Yisroel for 45 years.
    How many Yiddishe neshumois were killed lo aleinu because of these Islamist.
    It. Is. About. Time. We. Took Care of Business.
    Yes. I said WE.
    If that makes me a Tzioni. Good.
    Guilty as Charged.
    Why shouldn’t one be happy from the Resha that is being תעקר ותשבר and תמגר’d׳

    Genick Shoin! Good riddance

    The Medinas hachesed (USA) would never have done this without the joint effort of the ‘Zionist’
    And if 1 Yiddishe neshama is saved from this operation it is very much worth it. … And worth being happy.
    We must continue to Daven to the רבוש׳ע that both the USA and Israel be successful in their goal of rooting out these cockroaches that have been blowing up buses, firing missiles, stabbing, plundering.

    Just in case anyone forgot:
    Iran is the Avee avois hateemah
    Hamas and Hezbollah and Houtus are just their proxies. The Head of the octopus needed this petsch 45 years ago already but the world was too scared.
    Well too bad. Putin is going to lose his oil too
    Let all the Resha be gone
    במהרה בימינו
    and for this….. yes I am happy. Very Happy.
    May we only hear besurois toivois and may we all continue to Daven that Bashefar continue to watch over us.
    We hardly have any friends.
    The cousins hate
    The left hates
    The hard right hates
    The former friends hate
    70 to 1 is a neis nigla each day.

    1. Who says a single life was or will be saved?
      So far, the state of Israel has been a sad failure in saving lives.

      What to do in the future? Keep Yeshivos open through dealing with the godless government to allow people to stay in learning, try to help those who aren't learning stay frum, and helping enough people do teshuva.
      But the soi is not the solution, and hasn't been in the past.

    2. You don't need to ask mechila from the Satmar Rebbi for dismissing what he said. Incidentally, Rav Aharon told the Lakewood butcher not to sell Satmar meat.

    3. Decapitation and regime change has never worked and has always backfired actually the situation in Iran now is a product of the US meddling in the Iranian election 45 years ago backing the shah against the will of the people. Think about it if someone wanted to stop democracy and destroyed Washington DC how far would he get? There's at least a large minority of Iranians who are pro regime at best you'll end up with a civil war and more chaos. You can be a Zionist or anti-zionist but you need to think clearly.....

  2. Those who don't feel the pain of the soldiers and their families, needs a Kaporah!

    1. Those who feel their pain, should encourage their return home and to Hashem.

    2. You assume that there are no soldiers connected to Hashem. There are tens of thousands, despite your leaders convincing you that as soon as you enter the army you lose your Yiddishkeit.

    3. Say all the anti-Zionist propaganda and rhetoric about the Zionists was correct. A Yid should still feel their pain and be happy when it was relieved . The Posuk says that Elisha Hanavi cried terribly when telling Chiel he would become king of Aram. Chiel asked him why he was crying so terribly and Elisha answered because I see with nevouah what you will do as king of Aram and basically described another 10/07/2023. The government and people Elisha was referring to was a lot worse than the Zionists. Yet he cried so terribly at the mere thought of such things happening to them.(Had Cheil not asked him why he was crying he wouldn’t have even verbalized it) If Elisha Hanavi was not enough of a kanoi for you I’m sure Rav Reuven Grozovsky was. Yet he also says in his kuntress on Rashaim and mumrim that if Rasyhim are going through difficult times we are not to look at them as Rasayim and feel bad for them. Based on the Gemora of כיון שלקה הרי הוא אחיך

  3. He says these outlandish stuff to keep the grift going, to keep his minions happy.
    He does not believe what he’s saying.
    Just like those in Israel don’t believe that תורה - בין בעידנא דעסיק בה, ובין בעידנא דלא עסיק בה מגנא ומצלא because if they did, they would be going to the front lines to learn rather than running away from the front lines when there are missiles or rockets incoming.

    1. Why should they learn at the front lines? Why not in Bney Berak?

  4. Where's the mixed concert today?
    There was a mixed purim party with mixed dancing too

  5. There's a halacha in shulchan aruch that those learning are exempt from going to war. The mfasrshim explain because they are fighting with their limud hatora. This is not a modern invention by a bunch of scared roshei yeshivas. If you choose not to believe then we have no point in having a conversation.
    About as ridiculous as the conversation on TLS about the "regular" lakwood guy not wanting to wear a hat and jacket in kloizenburg shul.

    1. 1. I dont remember this din in shulchan aruch (it's a gemara regarding asa hamelech)
      2. Doesnt apply to milchemes mitzvah which clearly post October 7th was according to the rambam. (The ramban would apply it to any war to conquer eretz yisroel borders even bizman haze. )
      3. Its talmiday chachamim not lomday torah, even using the most generous interpretation of talmid chacham rov lomday torah are not.
      4. According to the shaylas uteshvos mahari veil (163) there were no talmidi chachmim for most dinim in his day, I dont think things got better in the past 600 years
