Re: "...Israelis who aren't Jewish should get the f___ out..."
In theory this is a good idea.
In reality, however, there would be no modern State Of Israel reclaimed from the foreign-occupied swamps and deserts, had it not been the for the Bolshevik secularists who actually did the job of creating the State which allows all Jews to return home!
Quite an irony of history, to say the least!
A Lubavitcher Rabbi told me that the religious Jews of Europe (as a whole) were too busy davening to consider the impracticality of packing a duffelbag and setting sail for foreign-occupied wasteland.
Draining malarial swamps, sleeping outdoors without shelter or plumbing, riding horses and plowing hard rock-riddled terrain, devising irrigation systems, training in military combat; all the while continually fighting off Arab terrorist raids and fighting with the regimes of foreign occupiers -- can anyone here seriously think that the typical Yeshivah students were physically up to the task which the secularists actually achieved against all the odds, and against all common wisdom?
I suggest taking a long look from the cliffs of the Lebanese border, out across the Galilee, over Haifa, to the approaches of Tel Aviv -- it is a sight more magnificent than words could ever convey, and the what one sees is Ha'Shem's Miracle worked in our time for all the world to behold. If the secular atheistic Jews of Eastern Europe were the tools G-d chose to do the dirty work necessary, then so be it.
These same Bolshevist types also died in great numbers and suffered unbearable losses, repeatedly, averaging about one major war against the entire Arab world every ten years...all the while reclaiming and building the modern Jewish State of Israel.
Every Jew in all of history owes a tremendous debt to the secularists and socialists who reclaimed and reestablished the State Of Israel in our time.
Every Jew of the two thousand yearl long Exile has prayed that they would live to see the day that they would return to Jerusalem. It is the Eastern European Jewish Socialists, opponents of faith, who in one of history's greatest mysteries enabled their fellow believing Jews to return home.
Take it up with Ha'Shem, if you don't like the way HE manages the Universe.
Eretz Yisrael will be a truly Jewish State once again, only when all of the religious Torah Jews return there to make Israel their permanent home.
And, this necessary mass Aliyah is currently not happening.
I feel that immediate worldwide mass Aliyah of all believing Jews should be our primary concern today. Pointing out the obvious inconsistencies of the Israeli secularist population is fun, but why are the Jews of Brooklyn still in NY Yeshivas and working as diamond merchants instead of seizing the great gift Ha'Shem has given them?
Why are ANY OF US in JTF still here in Exile?
