Again I wouldn't dictate things to do within a Church or country because it is not my group. I do not share its beliefs and ultimate interests, I do not know or see what goes on inside and I do not share its values and culture for example.
Okay, but if you feel you know something about the subject that might be of value, feel free to do so. Believe me, in American churches all of this petty infighting and backstabbing and self-hatred takes place on a much larger scale.
Involved discussion and again internal issue. Many of the voters in this particular case (Sefardim) do pay taxes, do serve in army. They want the resources allocated a certain way and not another. + everyone takes $ from government including $ for schools, T.V. ads (others) all sorts of theaters etc. Its not special treatment as the media is portraying and basically using the exact same "blood-sucking Jew" that has been portrayed by anti-semites throughout time against the Jews. Its blood libels. Now their are intricate problems and long term plans that we have for them and for the country as a whole, but to target them in this way is just wrong and only feeds into the leftists agenda- NO JUDAISM. What you think they are making all of this show for? They are claiming over and over that the "Haredim" are blood suckers and that is how they rile their support. The same is being said about the "Settlers" as well. I just saw what Yair Lapid is promoting and his only plan is to get the "blood-sucking" "Haredim and Settlers" off government payrolls. What they fail to mention is the many many other gov. programs that have been going on for years and the peanuts that the Religious have been getting and this for years.
I don't follow any of the Israeli media and I don't care to. I get my information on Israel from one source only, the one and only Chaim Ben Pesach of JTF. I trust what Chaim says more than any person or any other group when it comes to Israeli affairs and matters.
I don't believe that anyone should be living off the dole, religious or not, period. Unless someone is truly so very disabled that they cannot work, nobody should lead a lifestyle of mooching. If poor Sfaradim truly are having trouble finding jobs, Shas should be fighting for policies that allow their members to find them, not demanding baksheesh from the Israeli public. If Israelis want to freely give to Shas and its institutions, more power to them; they should not be forced to. I don't think that evangelical churches should be getting handouts from the United States government either. I don't care if someone is black, white, Jewish, Christian, Hispanic, secular, devout, etc.--you should work for a living and that's that. People should stand up to rackets and shakedowns no matter who is behind them.
Chaim Ben Pesach himself has stated clearly that only a genuine select few Torahic students should receive the scholarship living stipend and that he would reform the system. I don't know as much about what goes on as he does but I trust his judgment completely.
Now the Religious public is growing and all these protests and screams and media attacks (and importing Russian goyim, which wont help them at all in the end) has mostly to do with them seeing that their are loosing "their" State to the darn Orthodox.
Of course what Lieberman and Yisrael Beiteinu and their constituency is doing is wrong, and evil to the core. But Shas is not the entity to be calling the kettle back. Both are monstrous organizations that are equally hazardous to the survival of the Jewish state. If they destroy each other, more power to them.
6- Speaking in general and things like your screename (for example) mocking a Jewish combat soldier who served the nation of Israel.
In the words of Chaim Ben Pesach, "Bennett is an evil opportunist and a monstrous fraud." The multigajillionaire Bennett cares about the same thing Shas cares about--filling his pockets with gelt.
Aside from that though, why am I supposed to be impressed by his military service? Thanks to the draft the vast majority of Israelis have served. The vast majority of Israeli soldiers would be willing to ethnically cleanse their fellow Jews. Bennett himself has said that orders must be obeyed at all times and that he would be open to throwing Jews out of their homes. Is that a good, honorable Jewish veteran that we should be praising?
Just to add 1 more thing, the media feeds certain things and people without realizing it eat their bullsh^t. The same exact propaganda is taken as truths and that is how they get control. Simillarly to how the Nazis spread their propaganda as well. Also another thing I noticed (like on FB) a lot of ignorant people having opinions to do with things they know absolutely nothing about. For example this conversion issues. They should be left to Hachamim who know the issues and know what is allowed and what is not, what is kosher and not. When to make and when not to. All of a sudden people who know nothing about the Torah, do not keep the Torah nor do they know the Halachot have opinions on these matters. I myself don't know soo I do not comment. But the audacity of some people is just mind boggling. Some people who eat pork, probably dont even believe in Judaism demanding that these "conversions" be one way or another. I saw (and I read this from Rav kahane as well) that these issues (conversions) should be left only to the Torah sages without any outside involvement no people and no to government pressures in either direction (strict or lenient).
Once more I couldn't give a flip less about what the Israeli media preaches or what Shas is fighting for in these ads. Nobody here (including myself) argued against denouncing intermarriage or for allowing Russian Gentiles to make fake conversions. We said that Shas is the wrong voice to be issuing these condemnations. For every evil thing that Likud or the Likud puppets Yisrael Beiteinu have done, Shas has done some other thing that is equally evil. I'm not willing to listen to a damn word that comes out of the mouths of those shakedown artists
or that lying Russian serpent and his crowd.
Shas has Jewish blood on its hands and for that I will never forgive them or their leader. Oslo could not have happened without Shas. Instead of making the principled choice by refusing to tolerate any surrender of Jewish land or make any deals with Nazi leaders, Shas went along with Oslo in exchange for a hefty
bribegrant from Yitzhak Rabin (ysv). That's how all of Shas' halachic rulings go. Right after Shas issues some halacha justifying an Israeli government decision, poof--they and their
madrasasschools get another big infusion of gelt. If that is a coincidence each and every time, then Shas is certainly rolling a pretty anointed pair of dice.
