A hesder yeshiva guy bumped into a chraedi yeshiva guy in Bet Shemesh and they began to talk, The Yeshiva guy asked if the Hesder guy recognized the protection of the learning does for the state, The hesder guy said he would, but then he asked the yeshiva guy if he recognized the protection the army does for the state (and the yeshivas) . The yeshiva guy walked away.

Is that the best you can do? A made-up propaganda story that makes just as much (or little) sense the other way?

I heard a widely reported incident yesterday.

When you are down to telling propaganda stories, you should look yourself in the eye and realize that you’re being closed-minded.
