Mamashtakah, I have never read such propaganda since the days of the defunct Soviet papers.
My averois here in a place where we are bringing people back to Yiddishkeit, including refugees from the medine who were tired of being seen as low-class Russians and came back to live as proud Jews, are worth more than your questionable mitzvah of yishuv ha-aretz. How dare you say that our mitzvos don’t count? Some of us pay for your ill and injured via Yad Sarah, Rav Grossman, Meir Panim etc, none of which would exist without donors from chu’l and all of which exist because the heartless, incompetent medine has so many holes in its safety net. I once helped to pay for a medication that is common in the US and even paid for by Medicaid to be brought by plane to a patient in EY because it was not a part of the infamous “basket” there and he could not possibly afford it on his own. That is a Jewish state? That is what I expect from a cultural Muslim with a father from a country where people live to be about 50 anyway, NOT what I expect from Yidden.
Where are today’s trumois and maasrois going anyway with no beis hamikdosh? This is something I always wanted to understand.
What is more, the chilonim are defiling land that belongs to me just as much as it does to you. The medine is like an incompetent security company that lets criminals and murderers run amok and instead punishes the good guys. We used to have a lot of corrupt security firms like that here in the 90’s. Like the medine, they took lots of money from the people who were forced to hire them. The medine calls it taxes, victims of the old Russian firms, myself somewhat included (I was forced to pay 20x the cost of hiring my own guard) used to call it protection money.
Many US emigres to EY ramble online about how good it is and in reality they are suffering every day in every way and they rue the day they moved to EY. My friend works with kids from homes like that, where the parents’ misery leads the kids to go astray. Yes, he finds them on the famous Crack Square.
ERETZ Yisroel and the medine are two separate entities. Many of the Jews living in EY are indeed victims of the medine. The medine is the only polity that has thrown Jews out of their houses since Libya in the 60’s. And innocent Jews in Kiev found their shuls vandalized after Gush Katif because the skinheads saw that Jews demolish their own shuls and lost all respect for us.
