BRAINFREEZE -“I already see a few of you shaking your head and pointing out just how clueless I am. “It’s Hashem providing the benefit, not this rotten State” so many of you claim. Your reasoning is faulty. Hashem provides the benefit for everything at all times, no exceptions. Do you withhold a thank you from the stranger in front of you who held the elevator door open because it’s all from Hashem anyway too? You thank the person who carried out Hashem’s will, regardless of their intentions. Without the State of Israel and the Israeli Army would your sons be learning in Jerusalem, your daughters in seminaries? Go ahead and reap the benefits of the State and the Army then sit back and whine about those very same people that gave you access to the land in the first place.”
Hey, I posted many times that you have to have Hakoras Hatov to the army. But I also posted -it’s a two-way street. They also have to have Hakoras Hatov to the Kollel guys who provide the same protection. They have to stop their attacks on the Charedim and stop trying to force them into the army.
Also, Jews had access to the land way before the Zionists declared a State.
