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 …….

.yankel berelParticipant@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 …

its not chaim volozhin

.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ 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 ….
.
.yankel berelParticipant@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 hideousthat 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 .

.November 13, 2025 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2472013yankel berelParticipantthe senate majority leader is on record in his senate speech defending withholding certain arms from israel
in it he quotes the anti zionists who protest against israel
remember the speech
yankel berelParticipantyou 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
when will you acknowledge this oh so clear DISPUTE …..
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
satmar rav takes issue with avne nezer’s pshat in the gemara in his vayoel moshe mentioning him by name
but I have not found that he directly addresses the issue of the gaping hole in all halachik codifiers which avne nezer clearly raises .
.
.yankel berelParticipantGerar in the time of Avraham – the subject of the discussion …
unless we are moving some goalposts – again !
was definitely NOT a ‘palestinian’ city
no matter what Josephus would write some 2 thousand years later ….
—-
third example of AAQ playing loose with the facts …..
in the span of so many days ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantnu
is AAQ going to answer the question re the leftists ‘acceptance’ of frum settlers who serve enthusiastically ????
AAQ really thinks that the leftist establishment likes the frum settlers who do serve ?

would you use a zionist neurosurgeon ?
.

yankel berelParticipant“index” is an affront to your intelligence reb AAQ
start thinking for yourself , lema’an hashem …..
considers himself intelligent and reduces himself to a child who cannot think for himself
totally ridiculous ….

senator shumer was the senate majority leader at the time .
.
.November 12, 2025 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2471348yankel berelParticipantMinority Leader Senator Shumer clearly mentioned the anti zionists in his senate speech defending arms embargoes against Israel .
Dripping with blood.
yes.
.
.yankel berelParticipantA 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 ….
.
.November 12, 2025 12:03 pm at 12:03 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2470998yankel berelParticipantit seems that shtika is kehoda’ah ….
zionism is not necessarily against any of the ikarei emuna
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ really thinks that the leftist establishment likes the frum settlers who do serve ?
they are looked at with deep disdain and are considered abominable and hideous
even serving is not going to get the haredim sympathy
.
.November 12, 2025 12:03 pm at 12:03 pm in reply to: Should Chareidi demonstrators be drafted. #2470996yankel berelParticipantAAQ’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 ?how so ?
whats the connection ?
—-
that came from someone who is ready to outsource his own critical thinking to some “unknown compilers of indexes” …..
.
.
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ is looking down from his ivory tower at those primitive haredim ….
let’s listen in ….
” …. will haredim be able to read population surveys, understand how non-direct democracy works, deal in international affairs ……”
—–
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
which will help you to base your thoughts on facts and reality
and check all your facts and figures twice before you start building castles in the sky
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ to yaakov yosef :
… If you can’t fight off the yetzer hara questioning whether I have substance when I make statements, we can as well stop this Stasi interrogation.
———————————-It was AAQ who first introduced the stasi into this conversation
then it is AAQ who complains that mentioning stasi is ‘immature’
—–
how long ago was it when we complained that AAQ is moving the goalposts in the middle of the game ? ……
.
.
.yankel berelParticipant@AAQ
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
so this is a machloket between those rabanim
.
.yankel berelParticipantHebrew: 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.
[pasted from wikipedia]
—————————————————-note : latin – philistaei
not ‘palestinian’ as AAQ would have us believe
AAQ is playing loose -again- with the facts
.
this is the second time ….
.
.the first time AAQ ‘changed’ it , by his own admission , from ‘plishtim’ to ‘palestinian’
this is part of an established pattern of inconsistency with fact and reality ….
.
.
.yankel berelParticipantthe question was …. lets remember
not about russia or china ….
but specifically about israel and its supreme court
we do not change the goalposts in the middle of the game – right ?
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
to decide this one should employ HIS OWN critical thinking abilities
not outsource them to others
you do not even know who they are in person ….
.
.
.
blind cessation of thinking
.
.
against everything AAQ should stand for …..
.

.November 11, 2025 8:48 pm at 8:48 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470823yankel berelParticipanthello 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
.
.yankel berelParticipantTrue Torah Jews Org site would even say that the sun is not shining in the middle of the day if that would benefit their ideology.
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ really thinks that the leftist establishment likes the frum settlers who do serve ?
they are looked at with deep disdain and are considered abominable and hideous
even serving is not going to get the haredim sympathy
there is only one thing which will get them sympathy …
and that that is – joining the multitudes who threw their religion to the wayside
at the instigation of those very same secularists
time to open his eyes to …… reality , reality , reality ….
cannot say this pivotal word often enough ….

my comment was specifically re the non comparison between the choice then and the choice now
it almost reminds me of comparing the choice between vanilla and chocolate ice cream vs the choice between literal life and death
you seem from your answer to have missed my point
btw – that’s an example of what I mean when I complain that you change topics ….
.

there were no trains filled with jews going either way
not from the soviet side and not from the nazi side
read and establish the reality
.November 10, 2025 5:29 pm at 5:29 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2470283yankel berelParticipantthe torah from the NK is twisted and one sided
totally ignoring the opinions of the great rabbanim
and totally ignoring the clear pikuah nefesh danger hanging over masses of our brothers and sisters
that’s not called torah
that’s twisted torah used as propaganda
that’s dangerous propaganda
recognized as such by 99 % of orthodox jews
propaganda dripping with blood
blood from our own brothers and sisters
.yankel berelParticipantlol.
katan is arguing about clear verifiable facts
avnei nezer does dispute it and points to the list in this essay
hashmatat haposkim
katan would even say that the sun is not shining in the middle of the day if that would benefit his ideology
.November 10, 2025 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2469956yankel berelParticipantso many questions ….
so many questions katan , somejew and ujm are ignoring …
why are they not answering ….
does it have anything to do with the possibility that they simply do not have the answers …..
does it have anything to do with the possibility that they fear that their own answers will incriminate their own shittot …..
.
.yankel berelParticipantLol.
AAQ is looking down on haredim for their ‘groupthink’ and lack of independent thought
all the while
AAQ’s comments reveal astonishing groupthink and lack of independent thought
as is obvious in his blind adherence to ‘indexes’ and ‘scores’ , compiled by ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ needs to be interrogated stasi like
that’s the only way to keep him in some connection with reality
otherwise he ‘ll keep on suggesting totally disconnected suggestions and inferring that the haredim are to blame for rejecting his fantasies
that’s besides his habitual changing of the goalposts smack in the middle of the game
.
yankel berelParticipantNaive AAQ
Unelected SC [illegally] appropriated for themselves the right to cancel laws passed by the elected MK’s if they deem it ‘unreasonable’ .
Obviously SC deems refraining from gender folly ‘unreasonable’ ,
so there is no use in passing such a law ….
.yankel berelParticipantbtw steinzalts was controversial
I myself remember many prominent rabanim coming out publicly against his bonafides
on thev other hands many prominent rabanim did defend him
so in other words – he was controversial ….

bet that occupants of BOTH trains in your mashal of 1939
would literally give away everything they owned to be able to be on either plane , no difference whether to JFK or to Israel ….
BH that the dilemma today is between JFK and Israel and not between the Soviets and the Nazis …..
.
.November 10, 2025 2:07 am at 2:07 am in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2469862yankel berelParticipantif somejew’s INTENT is to get jews to reject normative judaism as accepted by the gdolei yisrael ,
and/or adopt the false kana’ut of NK , does that turn somejew into a meisit umadiach ??at least when we use somejew’s reasoning ….
food for thought ….
.
.yankel berelParticipant@ pure yiddishkeit
you omit the holy avnei nezer who was holek on the holy satmar rav
in other words it is a mahloket rabanim whether the 3 oaths are at all halachically applicable ….
..
yankel berelParticipantIsraeli democracy does not merely ‘have weak points’
It is being hijacked ,even as we speak.
By unelected crooks in an illegal way , aided and abetted by collaborators and useful idiots.
It will not be restored until the downfall of those crooks.
the above is a reflection of plain unadorned reality .
ignore it at your own peril .
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ
gerar is NOT a ‘palestinian’ city
it is a pelishtim city
substantial difference
another example of AAQ playing loose with reality ….
.November 9, 2025 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm in reply to: Tiferes Shlomo and the modern State of Israel #2469777yankel berelParticipantThought that somejew went on an extended holiday
but then he popped up on one of the other threads ….
so mr somejew …
we were in the middle of a conversation …
you were going to prove that zionism is a contradiction to the ikarei emuna ….
you were even going to pinpoint which of the ikarei emuna it contradicts and why …
you were going to prove that it is impossible to be a religious zionist , because those two terms have to contradict each other …
am still waiting ….
.
yankel berelParticipantAAQ :
… German Jews in British internment camps – they were learning about wars of Talmudic times, but totally ignored Normandy and such …
——————–Another example of AAQ’s tenuous grasp on reality .
There were no German jews in British internment camps at the time of Normandy , in the summer of 1944 ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ :
…. But, as the numbers I quoted above show, Israeli democracy is in a reasonable state overall and is improving over time ….
———————an excellent example of obstinate adherence to the religion of useful idiocy …..
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ
I rather think that the problem with our arguments is
or
that we lack a common starting point
or
that the arguments are not being conducted in good faith [changing subjects and ignoring reality]
or
both
.
.yankel berelParticipantYaakov yosefs posts are refreshing ….
.November 9, 2025 12:38 pm at 12:38 pm in reply to: The Steipler Gaon on Zionism and on the Neteurei Karta #2469390yankel berelParticipantlol.
99.99% of orthodox jews reject NK ‘s dangerous folly …
according to somejews crooked reasoning , 99.99% of orthodox jews are mu’m ….
if someone wants to know the definition of lunacy , he should read somejew’s posts ….
.
.yankel berelParticipantmost of square’s comments above have merit …
but the heading does not
there are many non zionists who do not hold the oaths as halachically applicable
and nevertheless are not zionists
for many good and valid reasons
.
.yankel berelParticipantAAQ is repeating his folly by proving his point by …. repeating his folly ….
if AAQ would bother to read and internalize my [repeated] post[s] regarding the idiocy of outsourcing your own critical thinking abilities to others
then he would not repeat his reliance on other people judgements re the ‘score’ of countries in their self designed ‘indexes’.
he would use HIS OWN sound judgement and stop being the useful idiot he is making himself into
his blind reliance on these brainwashers [and brainwashed] is fatally detrimental to his discovery of reality as it is
which is the first prerequisite in formulating sound solutions for the problems facing us.
instead he is , by his willful blindness, perpetuating the very problems he claims to address ….
.yankel berelParticipantYaakov yosef to AAQ :
…. now do you begin to understand what is going on? ….
—it seems that there is an inner , unexplained resistance in AAQ’s psyche , blocking him from ‘understanding what is going on’ …
AAQ prides himself on his openmindedness and preparedness to hear
from people from other and different persuasions and their arguments
why is he closed minded when it comes to establishing what reality really is ????
