Is this war worth it? After how many deaths does the war become not worth it? The תורה says even 1 but it looks like nobody cares about the תורה so from a Zionist point of view how many Jews can die until it becomes not worth it? 100? 1000? What’s the היתר to forcibly draft people to fight a war without a סנהדרין. How is this war going to help anything? do they really think they will completely destroy Hamas? And even if they win the war how will they control over 5 million angry arabs in gaza and the West Bank?
Imagin the mothers of these young hero’s thinking about how their boys paid the ultimate price for us
How were we protecting them?
Did we give them the best equipment?
Did we play our part to give the men and women the best chance of survival
When we have a court case it is for the benefit of society
How is having our CEO in court during a war benefiting society when all our lives are at risk
It’s a politically motivated trail
And needs to be postponed till after the war
Reminders: On Shmini Atzeres, Hamas launched an unprovoked massive terrorist attack on southern Eretz Yisroel, and brutally murdered over 1200 Yidden, about 900 of them — civilians. Repeat: murdered, in cold blood, 1200 Yidden, in one day. Babies, children, women, men, elderly. The war is one of “ezras Yisroel miyad tzor”, “the rescuing of Yisroel from its foe”, to prevent a vicious, bitter enemy from ever perpetrating a massacre like this again. It is a war to preserve the safety of the entire yishuv in Eretz Yisroel. Secondly: every lost soldier is a source of great sadness, to klal Yisroel, not just to his family and friends. But that is war. It is not a game of ping-pong. It is guns, and ammunition, and grenades, and mines. In the Six-Day War, over 700 soldiers fell. In the Yom Kippur War, over 2600 soldiers lost their lives. This is “din shomayim”, the price we pay, sadly, from time to time, owing to the hatred of so many bnai Yishmoel and their callous passion to try to remove us from our Promised Land — the price that enables millions of Yidden to live, and Torah to thrive, in Eretz Yisroel. The soldiers who fall don’t die in vain. They give up their lives al kiddush Hashem.
