There are many comments here speaking with such high ground about how the leftists just want to destroy the country and overthrow the government at any cost etc etc. I just spent the day in tel Aviv speaking to many of these protestors, and I can assure you, there is nothing further from the truth. These people feel the pain of the hostages, soldiers, and their families, and simply don't trust that the government is doing what they can to save/protect them. Go to a hafgana for five minutes and listen to the emotion in their voices, and then come back and tell me that it's a leftist 'religous' doctrine that they're looking to aid Israel's enemies and fight against the government at all costs. It's an abhorrent lie.

There is no indication anywhere in the Torah that learning Torah is a substitute for fighting. None whatsoever. As for the swords, they used them to kill the egel worshippers.
