Dont Worry Be Happy -“Health – I think that your assumption that people post a Zionst topic in order to be annoying or in your face is wrong and perhaps you’re projecting a bit. They can also be posting it to try to open a closed mind to a different point of view. Some people who frequent this site are pro-Israel others aren’t, it’s not 100% anti zionist. The title Yeshiva World just implies that this site is filtered to topics that are relevant to the Yeshiva World, not that only a narrow group are allowed to visit.”
They should know that they aren’t going to change anybody’s mind by posting anything here. I don’t even think that people think that anymore than they think that s/o could change their own mind. So they do it to start up.
“In my opinion it’s hypocritical to visit Israel as a tourist, send your children to learn, enjoy all of the miracles of Israel, while having a lack of gratitude towards the people whose sacrifices allow us to do all of those things. Ithink the lack of hakaras hatov breeds sinas chinam, more than a dissenting view on a message board. That may not be how you see things, but it’s a valid point of view. Some people who frequent these boards agree with me, some agree with you. Some of the opinions that I read here annoy me, some annoy you, but that’s life, everyone see’s the world differently. Do you feel that your opinions are the baseline of what is correct and everything to the right and left are automatically wrong? It’s very typical for the commentators on this board to have dissenting views in starting a topic thread and in the comments that follow, this topic is no different.”
Since you claim that posts change people’s mind -I’ll post something now and we’ll see if it changes your mind:
I think it’s the Freye and “FRUM” Tzionists who have lack of Hakoras Hatov. The only reason that their army is successful in any operation is because of Limud Hatorah. But what are the Tzionists doing? They keep cutting funding for learning Torah -they are trying to force every Frum person into the Army by outlawing the Tal law. So since they keep starting up with the Non-Tzioni Frum people -this causes Sinas Chinum!
