Mr Lapid: it also goes against nature for a jew to destroy Torah and Judaism!
with regard to all the people who are condemning pres perez for his “speech” – isnt it time that we (and YOU) stop the sinaas chinom? even at this time when we should be focusing on the grave situation we are sitting (or standing) in judgement of others – GENUG!!!! HASHEM is the ultimate judge ! the price we are all paying is too dear for even one neshama to be lost – let alone 3 nebach! Hashem is sending us the message just do your own thing and let all live as needed – yes the arabs are the enemy and they are the vessels that Hashem chose to bring about the kiddush shem shamayim – Hashem ultimately has chosen us to be HIS nation – so let it happen by not hating each other – we dont always have to agree but i do believe that Hashem does not want us to HATE our own!!!! may the families of the “kedoshim” find peace and comfort knowing that Hashem chose their sons to bring klal yisroel together and that this will bring to the coming of Mashiach bimhera biyamenu – AMEN
