The topic is complex. Charedi culture is so different than that of the IDF. I was in a Charedi community this Shabbos and felt like I was on Mars. It's another world. I could deal with the IDF - except for all the shouting and bullying and abuse that leads to 22 suicides a year. But that's another matter that needs fixing.

And they are not needed. We haven't had a war in 40 years! You don't need to conscript the entire country to fight a few terrorists. We have a few dozen incidents a year. This isn't just a matter of hypocrisy or laziness or whatever other insults you can concoct. It's a complex situation. If all you can come up with is rage and superciliousness then you aren't using your brain.

Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra
