An update to the previous post: It turns out that Sunday’s 150,000 person charedi battle in New Jersey against Israel has been cancelled/ postponed. The given reason is that the necessary state permits could not be obtained.
Apparently Torah is strong enough to defeat Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and the West Bank Palestinians and Iran, but it’s not strong enough to overcome the state of New Jersey.
I'm going to say again that Jews (anyone, really, but that's another story) protesting against Israel outside Israel is just wrong, period. For any reason. So obviously for such a wrong cause as this, but before anyone jumps on me, I'm on the record that the lefties who were protesting judicial reform outside of Israel last year were also very, very wrong. And if you accuse me of bias, I can assure you that, even as a crazy right winger, I was very much opposed to all the anti-Oslo protests that went on the US as well back in the day. There's a time and place for everything, and protesting Israel by people who don't even live there is, again, just wrong, and during a war and at a time it's being attacked by others, even more so..
This should be obvious, but apparently it isn't to everyone.
(I also don't approve of protests *inside* Israel, but for entirely different reasons: In a democracy, policy should not be determined by mobs. Not to mention all the inconvenience it causes, but of course the Attorney General בכבודה והעצמה declared that protests *have* to inconvenience people. Madness.)
Wishing you a refuah sheleimah and a good year
