ENOUGH. WHY?
i see the Zionists treat bnei yeshiva as cannon fodder while they party on tel aviv beaches.
@lakewoodbt – with a comment like that, I don’t think your Teshuva is quite complete yet.
There have been numerous Bnei Yeshiva from Hesder Yeshivos who have fallen in this war, it is true – but here have also been numerous non-observant Jews, Druze, and even Arabs who have fallen as well. The one group that is almost unrepresented amongst the fallen is the Chareidi community. I’m not saying none – but very, very few.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, don’t you think?
