Ever since the state was founded, the established elite has been actively at war with various factions of the Jewish people, and not coincidentally, always the most faithful, practically adept and loyal of our people.
The Haganah, under directive of the Jewish agency made war against the Irgun and Lechi - the underground which made the state possible at all. Ben Gurion made war against the remnants of the Irgun after the army was unified, just to stamp them out further. Then after the state was founded, the Israeli govt made war against Sephardic Jews, the most traditional and God-fearing of Jews, by forcing them to "convert" to secularism through propaganda, kidnapping, and force, with a very real threat of starvation. Then the state kidnapped Yemenite children and forcibly assimilated them against their parents' wishes. Yemenites of course maintained the most Torah-literate and dedicated subgroup of all. Now the IDF is making war against the religious zionists and settlers, the cream of the modern day Jewish crop. I am wearied about the prospects of our 'third commonwealth.'
