    I don’t know what capitulation means but I sure hope that’s what Israel is doing to those skunky Hezbollians.

    “Capitulation” is a fancy, lawyer-like, word that means “surrender”. For examples, the Germans capitulated to the Allies on May 8. The United States capitulated to the Taliban in Afghanistan. If the Israelis are forced to capitulate to Hezbollah, they probably will have to give up the Galil,

    The second part of your sentence shows that you clearly don’t know what it means.

    (Or that the joke is over my head.)

    A good lawyer doesn’t use “lawyer-like” words in a pleading. If you mean surrender, say surrender, or even better, “give up”. Our law schools are churning out too many “lawyer-like” litigators for whom English appears to be a second language.

    A yid should never capitulate when it comes to Avoda Zara even if it means giving up his life. And guess what? TODAY’S AVODA ZARA IS MONEY we bow down to money, run after it and depend on it etc…. and serve it like a God this this is why the economy crashed cause we left Hashem no choice but to take it away from us BUT YOU CAN STILL SAVE YOURSELF if a person can show Hashem that it’s not Avoda Zara to him and that it all belongs to Hashem-even though your absolutely right that you did work hard for it-and it’s just a loan to get you through the year, then he’s the perfect person to keep Hashems money and maybe he can even be a shliach for Hashem and give it out for tzedaka in large amounts.

    Drafted Charedim should be used the way the old Red Army used to use their penal battalions. I.E. for frontal assaults on fixed enemy positions and for clearing mine fields by marching through them.

    #2319929

    Aside of the stupid opinion on charedim, this tactics is still being used by the Russian army right now in Ukraine, sending former prisoners, minorities, foreigners, etc forward. The only change is they are not sending 1,000,000 people at a time into the line of fire any more, but usually in small groups, one group after another. Soldiers reported walking over bodies of previous groups.

    The Baal Akedah says that lo yihyeh lecha elohim acherim includes going after money.

    Capitulate means to cease resisting under specific terms (usually dictated by the stronger party). It is not exactly the same as surrender.

    Yussel: Normal people surrender. Lawyers specializing in international and military law capitulate. Don’t expect to find “surrender” on the SAT, but be ready for “capitulation”.

    I thought capitulation refers to a recitation of a capitul of tehilim.
