It’s Not Really About the IDF, You Know.

We Jews are a stiff-necked people, and sometimes Hashem pounds on us to force us to understand that achdus is the key to Jewish survival in a post-Holocaust world, not sinat chinom. Jewish history is replete with epic battles between the left and right, religiously and politically, even since before Yetziat Mitzrayim and the destruction of the Batei Mikdash.  Frum Jews have been battling each other forever. Eibeshitz vs. Emden, Hasidim vs. Mitnagdim vs. Agudah, Satmar vs. Zionists, Satmar vs. Satmar, and now Haredim vs. secular Israeli society and parts of the dati leumi community. Each group places itself “Yotzoey Min Ha Klal.” It’s time we realized that Hashem wants people to act respectfully bein adom le chaveiro and come together to make peace. Or we will all suffer the consequences.
