And I mean really in your face.. the way Amnon Yitzchak does it. We need more people willing to get in front of a crowd and say \"be frum and I\'ll tell you why!\". We can\'t give up on jews. When we have captured the hearts and souls of many more jews, we can get a political party to abide by the Torah laws. Moshe didn\'t give up on the jews, Avraham didn\'t give up on the people of his time...we can\'t give up on our brothers and sisters who don\'t know what is real and what is sheker.");
AddReply(52966,"To R Leiner","eliyahu","Baltimore","06/12/06","You sound like a sincere person although hopelessly misguided. First,the establishment of a State began well before 1948 and was a good idea at the time and a good idea now. Who exactly were the leaders who opposed it? The same rabbis who mindlessly consigned 6 million to their deaths by telling the Jews NOT to leave Europe, not to go to Palestine and not to go to America? The same ones who abandoned their communities because they prophetically saw that only a remnant would survive. Are these the leaders you follow? Do you ride in a car, use a computer..The same rabbis were against this too.");
AddReply(52965,"response to shlomo","pinchas","Beit El","06/11/06","I agree that one could argue whether or not Menachem Begin fulfilled his potential or even the expectations that he or others had for him. This is an academic question and people can learn about the man and his times and write books on this subject. But, that is far different than using a collunn or a letter to knock him in 25 words or less. To read what David \"Haivri\" writes or Eli Ben Meir, you would think he was a catastrophe instead of arguably the best PM the state has ever had. Begin was a true Gebor. Before Haivri or Meir criticize,let them do something that amounts to what he acheived.");
AddReply(52964,"The same mistake twice","R Leiner","Yitzhar","06/11/06","In 1948 the Jewish people turned their back on their own traditions to form a western nation state. This was against the advice of the majority of the true leaders of the Jewish people. It failed because this is not our destiny, it is alien to us. HaShem in his mercy is showing us just how inappropriate it is. Do we have to make the same mistake twice?");
AddReply(52963,"To Pinchas","shlomo","Israel","06/11/06","Don\'t be so hard on Eli Meir, he may be doing great work for Am yisroel in chutz L\'Arez and second, Menachem Begin was a great man that in the end was a great disappointment to Am Yisroel, he even realized it in his final days.\n");
AddReply(52962,"forget the government","tsipora","jerusalem","06/11/06","The Torah makes no provision for a national government. The family is the essential, most powerful social unit. The land is divided up among the families. They own it. No one can take it away. All governments work actively to destroy the family in order to consolidate their power. The family today is destroyed in America as surely as in Russia. Our government likewise hates us and intends to destroy us. It is our punishment from God for our many sins. Useless to fight them. Only to figure out what God wants from us, and to do it. The Torah is not a religion. It is a blueprint for a nation.   ");

There wasn\'t much of an alternative for the people to rally around.\nThe only intact right wing parties were the religious parties and generally speaking non-religious people will not vote for them.\n\nSo you had an election without an alternative.

Although, many who are not religious are still traditional and don\'t want to eliminate the State. Unfortunately, it seems that we have given those who don\'t care for the State an inordinate amount of control.

Not even his running cost and expenses are coming from a safe source acceptable under Torah law. Such scenario, without interference of the Most High, could lead only to one conclusion: ?The LORD of Israel is teaching those who elevated themselves above Him must eat the fruit of their own rebellion?.

When one writes an article that basically tries to help the Jewish people, why must you attack it? Obviously it\'s personal, because nothing in the content was crazy or harmful.

While the two parties (Kadima and Labor favoring wilthdrawal) got the lion\'s share of the vote, that lion\'s share amounted to less than 40% of the small turn out. The vast majority of the people who voted were AGAINST further withdrawal. Of those that didn\'t vote, it could be said that they too were AGAINST since they were so turned off the elections by what they assumed was a given: that Kadima would win.

Creating Judea means generalizing and condemning millions of Israeli Jews.

It ignores the fact that many good Jews live in \'Hellenized\' Tel Aviv and other places around the country.
