    reminder reb AAQ

    the extra 9 % is not going to change one iota

    you can have 60 % of the knesset voting with you and the evil SC will strike it down regardless

    that’s not even counting all evil legal advisers – the one attached to the knesset , the one attached to the knesset comittee , the one attached to the relevant ministry , plus the evil AG

    all the evil trouble they will make before it even comes to a vote

    all of the above is encapsulated in one word : REALITY

    which you ignore at your own peril

    that’s why you come up with all your ‘wonderful’ ideas

    each of which carries a hefty price in ruchniyut , payable in cash

    and in return we get some air in a balloon

    been there done that

    there is no better teacher than – again – REALITY

    this should become your new refrain – REALITY

    everything starts and finishes with his same principle , you cannot wish it away – its name is : REALITY

    the more you take it into account , the more chance there is that your ideas will work

    because life is all about —- you guessed it —– ……. R E A L I T Y …….

    @AAQ

    I did not like your list

    you include mendlesohn

    so why did you omit other ‘action takers’ ?

    you omitted shabtai tzvi

    he also ‘took action’

    so did herzl

    he also ‘took action’

    so did marx

    he also ‘took action’

    so did trotsky

    he ‘also took action’

    and the list is endless …

    AAQ first accuses innocents of using a stasi approach

    because they ask questions

    to make sure that AAQ does not play loose with the facts

    to make sure that AAQ does not move goalposts smack in the middle of the game

    it was AAQ who labeled those questions ‘stasi like’ – not me ….

    it seems like AAQ attempted to use this ‘stasi’ description to escape scrutiny and therefore accountability ….

    the obvious rejoinder was that the questioner should continue using what AAQ described [!] as ‘stasi’

    whereafter AAQ turns around and accuses people of not being respectful ….

    is that another example of AAQ moving goalposts in the middle of the game ?

    Am left wondering ….

    @AAQ

    you are missing the point

    am not sitting in judgement on people and deciding ‘how bad’ they are

    am exposing your naivete

    and your lack of considering reality

    there is a clear ideological imperative in powerful circles in Israel to remake haredi youth

    in their own image

    the draft issue is being craftily used by those circles to achieve their objective

    as long as you keep on ignoring this real issue

    all your comments are nothing more than fanciful illusions

    no connection whatsoever with ‘analyzing feelings’ and no connection with ‘grasshoppers’

    .
    frum settlers are looked at with deep disdain and are considered abominable and hideous

    that is not my analysis at all . this is based on repeated published remarks by leading figures in the secular world

    ———————
    btw . can’t remember my posts ‘analyzing feelings of other posters’

    but as said before – will repeat it again .

    AAQ is ,as is his minhag, playing loose with the facts – again .

    you willfully ignore the CLEAR FACT that AVNE NEZER writes that the shavu’ot are NOT LEHALACHA and THEREFORE ARE OMITTED BY ALL POSKIM

    so you are left with a dispute .

    according to satmar rav they are halacha , according to avne nezer they are not halacha

    according to avne nezer they are merely A SIMAN for the persons connection to HKBH and his neshama

    A dispute is when two sides explicitly argue opposite rulings about a particular law. It is not a “dispute” when, like by the oaths, numerous poskim bring something as halacha and some happen to not mention it. That’s called an academic question as to why the others did not mention it.
    [katan]

    —-

    this ‘academic question’ has been asked by one of the major poskim the avnei nezer and USED in his maskana that they are not lehalacha ….

    so that definitely is a dispute ….

    AAQ’s wisdom :

    someone claims ….. (3) being unable to get involved in things where his Torah morale will suffer.

    …. a person who has time to climb up the unfinished building without owner’s permission effectively disproves point number three above ….

    ————————-

    why ?

    the fact that he climbs unfinished buildings without permission ,
    proves that he should be involved in places where his ‘torah morale’ i.e. yirat shamayim will suffer ?

    such an insult .

    he infers that haredim are some savages from the jungle who cannot read population surveys ….

    he infers that crooks overstepping their authority , granted to them by the people , is somehow equal to non direct democracy …..

    have got news for AAQ here – it is equal to the following six letter word : P U T S C H

    and anyone ready to use his own sechel , without outsourcing it to some mindless professor or bureaucrat , will come to the same conclusion

    reb AAQ , it is time to wake up and change your modus operandi

    stop relying on others

    start thinking for yourself

    learn gemarot be’iyun

    this lack of attention you refer too , has duly been noted by the gaon the avnei nezer zatsal

    at the end of his tshuvot on YD where he concludes that the shavuot do not apply lehalacha

    cf avnei nezer YD 454: 49-51

    satmar rave takes issue with his opinion in vayoel moshe

    Hebrew: פְּלִשְׁתִּים, romanized: Pəlištīm; LXX Koine Greek: Φυλιστιείμ, romanized: Phulistieím; Latin: Philistaei – were ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age in a confederation of city-states generally referred to as Philistia.

    whether the SC’s unauthorized [critical fact , not to be ignored] grab of power

    at the expense of the elected representatives

    renders israel into a pseudo democracy or not

    hello how are you.

    nice to hear from you for once

    normally you conveniently disappear and do not answer

    but I will not do the same

    now re your post

    do you know that official weapons embargoes against the medina

    means more sakana for the yehudim on the frontline chvsh

    and more sakana for the yehudim at home

    and means extra hizuk for their enemies to kill them chvsh

    do you know that policymakers in the US and in other countries from where those weapons are sourced

    quote the anti zionist fools/ba’alei ga’ava who are on public record against the medina

    as justification for denying this materiel support

    thus endangering both the yehudim on the front and the yehudim at home

    what I wrote here is only one part

    so yes

    their crooked propaganda is dripping with blood

    its not hyperbole

    its reality
