Reply To: Is Israel bent on losing their protection?

shalom2010 -“Hey Health! In addition to the other responders, I should add that the it is largely DUE to the Chareidim that missiles are falling in the south. How so? Very simple; The Chareidim joined the Sharon government on the eve of the expulsion from Gush Katif, which then led to the subsequent takeover of the Gaza strip by Hamas, who now fire rockets from the ruins of Gush Katif. Had thenChareidim not joined, Sharon would have no government and there would be no expulsion, and no rocket attacks.”

This is one post I actually agree with partially. They could have joined the Gov., but they shouldn’t have voted for withdrawl from Gaza. They were pressured by the Gov. and they did wrong. What you don’t want to understand is simply that they aren’t the representatives of all the Charedim. Lots of Charedim don’t even vote, but this Gezeira of Drafting is on All the Charedim. If you can find those responsible for voting to oust the Jews from Gaza -they should be drafted -no other Charedim!

But the ultimate responsibility is that of the left, which have no other principles than that of appeasement.
