I agree that Shas is not ideal.
But it does good things also.
It supports Torah education for the entire generation of Sefaradi youth.
Lately it has become more and more nationalistic.
They sabotaged Olmerts' intentions to divide Jerusalem.
They support Hebron Jews in their stuggle for the right to live in the city of the Forefathers.
AND MOST IMPORTANT, THEY HAVE STEEL DISCIPLINE THAT NATIONAL-RELIGIOUS PARTIES SO LACK.
I think they "supported" Oslo in exchange for money for Torah institutions because it was impossible to prevent it.
Rabin/Peres & Co would do some other trick to pass Oslo resolutions even without Shas.
When I think about Shas, an image of a spy comes to my mind.
When you are among the enemies, it is not wise to disclose yourself.
Say what they want to hear, just influence them to do what is the right for you cause.
And use their own weapons - corruption, extortion, etc.
The goal for Shas and HaYamin HaAmiti is the same. The means are different.
That is why Piss Now hates both equally.
Absolutely not true!
Shas just proved that they could have stopped Oslo. Recently, when they quit the government coalition, the government fell and new elections had to be scheduled. Kadima and Labor tried to put together a new government coalition without Shas, but they couldn't. That's why we have new elections.
Shas could have done the same exact thing in 1993 when the treasonous Rabin-Peresite regime announced that they were signing the Oslo surrender agreement with the Arab Hitler Yasser Arafat and the PLO Nazi terrorist mass murderers. Instead they were the only "religious" party that supported the Oslo traitor government.
The claim that we could not stop Oslo is not only an absurd lie, it is also apikorsut (heresy) to suggest that Hashem would not have helped us if all of the "religious" parties had united to stop this treason! If all of the "religious" parties had united to stop this, if all of the rabbis had united - there is no doubt that Hashem would have saved us from this disaster.
Shas does NOT have the same goals that we have - להבדיל באלף אלפי הבדלות - Shas is an evil corrupt party that willingly allows thousands of Jews to be brutally murdered so that Shas leaders can enrich themselves and their institutions. Shas is an abomination.
And Shas is the worst possible role model for Sephardi youth: They teach Sephardi youth that the Torah permits and even commands us to surrender Jewish land to the Arab Muslim Nazi mass murderers for "peace". They teach Sephardi youth that corruption and bribery are acceptable.
Shas has the same goals that we have? Is that why Shas Interior Minister Eli Suissa shem reshaim yirkav expelled me from Israel and banned me from even visiting while he and other Shas traitors were meeting with the PLO mass murderers?
