There is definitely terrible hatred against the Haredi Jews; the question is whether we are responsible due to our refusal to join the IDF
ReplyDeleteThere's no question about that at all. We are not responsible to join that sort of institution which is all about forgoing religious devotion.
DeleteChazal teach us that there is a concept called "eivah."
DeleteWe can cause, and therefore we are responsible for, some of the antisemitism that we suffer from. That is Chazal's view.
The Melamed L'hoiel says that failure to serve in the German Army is required (even though the German army required all soldiers to do tasks that amounted to chilul shabbos). He explained that it is a CHILUL HASHEM to do otherwise.
The same applies to the IDF. If you don't want to serve, leave the country.
you are not responsible to join, but the country has the right to imprison and or expel people who refuse to be drafted.
Deleteand does not have to subsidize government programs like child care, elective surgery, housing, etc
and dont go around saying the government is discrimating against you. you are discriminating by refusing to serve.
Same with the arabs. remember, Rav Meir Kahana hy"d was discriminated against for calling for arabs to be expelled.
Better yet: just dismantle this country.
DeleteThe British mandate would have been very fair. By contrast.
They started to the detest the Yishuv because of the settlers' communist and militant propaganda.
The British started by imprisoning (and assassinating Etzel-nikim.
DeleteIf you don't know what Etzel meant in those days, consult Rav Aryeh Levin's z"l sefer. He was their Rav.
Besides the melamed leHoil, the Chofetz Chaim wrote a sefer at beginning of WWI on how to serve in an army. Used by US army soldiers in WWI and WWII and chaplains worldwide even today.
