The Israeli media acknowledges the deep divide in the Zionist society
According to a Hebrew-language media, the problem is not the number of extremist Jews who have to go to military service, but the problem lies in the fact that extremist Jews have become a threat to the survival of Israel. |
according to the Hebrew group Tasnim news agency, Yediot Aharanot newspaper announced in a note: The problem is in the number Extremist Jews (Orthodox Jews) are not for military service, but it is because the leaders of the extremist Jews do not consider themselves a part of Israel at all, and they cause serious danger in various dimensions of the ideology of the ultra-orthodox of Israel and the structure of Zionism.
This note follows: Prime Minister Ben-Gurion mentioned the time in his memoirs: On the morning of October 20, 1952, in Bnei Brak, he visited Shazon Eich, the leader of the Orthodox I went to the extreme: this meeting received widespread attention from the media, I asked him a question that I have not received an answer from either him or my religious friends.
I asked him if we have multiple handcuffs? How are we going to live with them? How will we achieve unity?
Shazon Eich told me: Two camels are moving in the same direction, one of them It has a yoke on its neck and carries nothing else, according to Halakha texts, when we reach a narrow bridge, a camel that carries nothing must make way for another.
In explaining this, he said: We members of the ultra-orthodox community carry the burden of the Torah and its commandments, so the rest of the Zionists must open our way and give us priority whenever the path becomes narrow.
Ben-Gurion then writes, I quickly answered: Well, in terms of attracting immigrants, creating a government, establishing security, etc. are not considered.
In the opinion of the author of this note, these two figures are considered to be the most important figures in Israel, who have been in conflict with each other since that time. Although Ben-Gurion at that time recognized their right to study (and not to be in the army structure).
Now in March 2024 that Israeli soldiers are killed and wounded and they claim that recruiting extremist Jews is illegal, corrupt and non-Jewish, and more importantly, it is against Jewish law.
In another part of the note, many were shocked by the statements of Rabbi Friedman, the leader of the Quds branch, who announced in a meeting with representatives of the Brothers in Arms group (former soldiers who served in the Israeli army) that he would rather his children die than to join the army.
Some may think that Rabbi Friedman has an extreme view on the leadership structure of the ultra-Orthodox, but it must be admitted that his views are in line with others. The senior Torah leaders are not in ideology but in the use of words. It is not the religious schools that are supposed to join the military service, but it is related to the issue of the actual participation of the Haredi in the structure of Israel, an insoluble problem that many have tried their luck to solve but failed.
In any case, many who interact with this issue do not know enough about the scale of the problem, the problem is that the leaders of the ultra-orthodox do not consider themselves part of it at all. Israel does not know, and from various areas, the ideology of the ultra-orthodox endangers the Zionist structure. and use Israeli laws to strengthen their opposition to Israel.
Shai Piron, the author of this note, who is the head of Yatima movement and the former education minister of the regime He is a Zionist. He writes in the end: It must be said that we are not aligned with each other, it is true that we live in the same land, but the partnership between us is weak, now we have reached a narrow bridge and reached the top of the mountain of pain in the war of iron swords (Gaza war). and we have suffered casualties, we must declare once and for all, the whole world is a very narrow bridge, this time our chariot must have the right to move because we also have a perfect chariot.
