The IDF on Wednesday morning announced the death of an IDF reserve soldier in Gaza.
He was identified as Sgt. First Class (res.) Roi Sasson, H’yd, 21, from Mevaseret Tzion, a town outside Jerusalem. He served in the Nachshon Battalion of the Kfir Brigade in Gaza and was killed in battle in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the same incident, the commander of the Nachshon Battalion, Lt. Col. Yoel Glickman, was seriously injured.
Sasson’s death increases the death toll of IDF soldiers since October 7, 2023, to 800.

I must be cynical here, I hope you take it in the very serious manner I mean it:
Has the Israeli establishment finished their quota of population reduction yet? Is 800 the number they had in mind when they allowed this war to commence?
It seems not…as they are hankering after thousands of yeshiva bochurim…
If it’s not clear to everyone, the Zionists are wannabee machos with an inferiority complex, they are trying to prove to the world that they can duel and fight like a good goy. They use Jewish boys’ lives to show this.
The better way, would be to carpet bomb from the air. That would have resulted in near zero soldier fatalities. If protecting Jewish life would have been the objective.
Ben Gurion famously said “If you save 1 million Jews to chutz laaretz, or half to Zion and half to the Nazis, the latter is preferable.” Any indication that the ideology has changed since then?
It’s time for Charedim who aren’t learning full time to do their fair share and join the army. It’s not fair to all these families whose fathers are getting killed for this while they eat pizza and smoke.
Uncommon you live in the world of abstract. Israel is being attacked by multiple countries. It’s not about macho it’s about defending themselves.
@lakewhut
Eating pizza and smoking is also exposure to danger, it’s just a slower killer..(and enjoyable in the short term)…so in that sense they are participating in the sacrifice.
I realise you won’t appreciate that comment.
But seriously, you have this all inside down.
צה”ל stands for צבא הגנה לישמעאל
They are sending ground troops to the slaughter by the hundreds to pander to the goyim. Why would any sane individual participate in this genocide of Jewish life? This has nothing to do with “learning” or being frum, it has to do with understanding the intentions of the establishment. They are not Jewish. All the founding fathers of Zionism baptized. It’s part of their religion to sacrifice all those who don’t accept Zionism. Herzel said it openly.

well said.
for the zionist, no amount of Jewish blood is too much if it helps them keep their political power.
