So basically, you find any video in which chareidim dress like chareidim to be offensive, as the very existence of chareidim offends you because of their crimes. You sound very reasonable and balanced.
We are proud of you for speaking truth to power. Unfortunately, this is an historically similar event to rabbinic positions prior to World War II in Europe.
There is no incompatibility of being both a soldier and a Talmid Khacham.
The video clip does not promote Achdut because it comes from a community that does not educate their youth to do what is depicted-- combine Yeshiva learning and army service.
So for them, it is nothing more than a Purim costume, good for only one day of the year.
Nevertheless, some of the commentators here should dislike it for a different reason- the lyrics ["אין לנו עוד מדינה" ] to the song emphasize the significance of the State of Israel
You know what the worst thing about that Pashkvil is? That it's signed by Rabbis from the North African, Asia Minor and Middle Eastern Jewish communities. Yes, the once normal rabbinical leadership of these communities have now been brainwashed and infected by the diseased "hashkafa" of the spiritual descendants of the Polish, Russian and Lithuanian communal leader and rabbinical supporters of the Khappers who ensured that only the orphans and the children of the poor and the widows would be forced into the Czar's army at age 12 (unless their mothers were able to marry them off younger than that or able to gather up the strength to chop off their own child's trigger finger - something that Fishman guy would only say he'd do, but wouldn't actually do!)
"Now, some people - generally those in communities that do not send their children to the army - see that as a correct and valuable message. But others - especially those in communities that do send their children to the army - see it as wrong, dangerous, and offensive."
It us unfair to omit the fact that some DL do see it as a valuable message, as shown by True Settler in his comments below and here:
אני חושב שצריך לחוקק חוק שמגייסים חרדים, ושכל חרדי יתפלל שלא יגייסו אותו. אם התפילה שלו נענית, אחלה. אם התפילה שלו לא נענית, הוא כנראה לא כזה טוב בלהתפלל ולכן גם ככה אפשר לשלוח אותו לצבא.
Thanks for sharing those pics.
Love the costume!

Hey, this is just hot off the press!

It takes a special person to get so rallied up as to write two (sic!) posts about a Purim costume that doesn't bother most people.

Could not have written this post better myself!!
Half a Doctor plus Half a Rabbi equals....

And the soldier on Irrationalist Modoxism...
It's not achdus only cuz you guys can't accept that other people have different views than yourself. That's on you, not on us.
I wonder how many kids will wear a version of this as a Purim costume.
Great suggestion here:

"The video clip of the adorable charedi kids dressed as half yeshiva student, half soldier has gone viral. "
So much for the video. Have the costumes become a best seller?
Respect and love other types of Jews
