Youtube Comment I Received

"My mom is very anxious about my military enlistment, she literally inspected every health condition I might have in order to prevent me from being a fighter, and yeah..it worked out.

"She had her reasons, she told me the superiors are very mean and harsh, also gave me examples about orders that commanders gave out which have caused lots of casualties to the IDF."

Comments

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters. Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

Apikorsis in Eretz Yisroel

But today, we live in an atmosphere of kefirah [denial]. The whole world is kefirah today. And today, to get emunah peshutah it is not easy at all. If a person says "I have emunah peshutah ," it means he is just dodging his responsibility, when you have to work to get emunah , he's looking for a teretz [excuse] to get out of it, that's all. Emunah peshutah today is very, very rare. If you're born into a very frum family, you get a certain degree. But even then, from the street it comes into the house, we don't realize. Once you come into America, or you come into England or Holland, or into Eretz Yisroel today, you should know, you're soaking in apikorsus . Even the fruma , under the skin, they have no emunah at all, a very thin veneer. You have to work hard, you must labor to get emunah today. It's very important to listen to these lessons, and make up your mind that you're going to dedicate your career to learning to be

The Real Charedim

It seems sometimes in the Mistake of Israel that anybody who isn't anti-religious, which essentially is most of the country, is Charedi, ie. claims to be. Oh I'm Charedi. Oh he's Charedi. That's what one hears from people as they march along with their smart phones, flags, and blue jeans. And I won't even give you a picture of how their wives and daughters dress and conduct themselves. They are all Charedi. I suspect that they make this claim because they see that irr-Religious Zionism is so empty. Oh, they still buy into all the myths about the Mistake and the army but they see intuitively that there's nothing else there. They want to latch onto the rich life of real Charedim, and the easy way to do that is with a simple declaration. And what about most of the country being anti-religious, well that's not necessarily how they'd describe themselves. After all, some have religious brothers and sisters and grandmothers. Some are just not hostile people and
