UFA-Federation, JCRC and yes even the IDF and the State of Israel are at times confused about Zionism. Their vision becomes blurry. So if for example, the Israel Day Parade parade is filled with BDS and or gay groups, homosexual groups sporting huge rainbow colored flags there to promote their degenerate agenda, it is deteriorating to the point where it is no longer serving a positive function.
In all due respect to Rabbi Ronsky and to all those who engage in character assassination and call 16 year old youth accused of slashing tires, "violent elements", "terrorists" or "criminal".... please withhold your slander. First of all, often these "price tag" accusations prove false and when investigated are proven to have Arab not Jewish perpetrators and are planted in order to slander, deligitimize and assassinate the character of the settlers. .
But let us assume that for this time, tires were indeed slashed by Jewish youth in response to IDF home demolitions. BTW Slashing tires usually fall under the category of vandalism, a far lesser crime than being a "terrorist". Why not at the very least "dan Lekaf zechus?" (judge favorably on the side of merit)
Arutz 7 reported that the
IDF tore down a new house last week belonging to Avi and Shoshana Lazar. The Lazar family was due to move into their new home this week with five children. It seems like a 16 year old kid slashed IDF tires. He was labeled a terrorist which escalated matters. More tires were slashed and the IDF then demolished 4 more homes in Yitzhar! Very Macho of them!
How would former IDF Chief Rabbi Ronsky respond if the IDF came and demolished his home in the name of Zionism and the homes of all his neighbors. How much of a "Zionist" would he be?
Talking of all coming under One big Tent....We all answer to a Higher authority. G-d's Umbrella/Tent and the IDF is included.
Is being appointed as Rabbi of the IDF means the IDF Rule of Law overrides G-d's rule of law?
Many feel that soldiers should refuse, according to the instruction of their Rabbi's to obey immoral IDF orders to demolish Jewish homes for political purposes. If Rabbi Ronsky is a true Rabbi why didn't he address the illegal house demolition of the Lazar''s a week ago? Rabbi Ronsky should have spoken up, as a Rabbi, with authority to stop Jewish destruction by the hands of Jews. The IDF perpetrated a criminal, anti Torah, and anti Zionist provocation and executed immoral orders of political higher ups. These orders had nothing whatsoever to do with ZIonism and/or protection of the Land and in fact emboldens and empowers our enemies to attack us!
If the Rabbi was thinking clearly he would admit that tires are easily replaceable and in this case was not a terror or criminal act but in response to a criminal act.
If I would defend this kid pleading guilty to the charges, I would find fault with Rabbi Ronsky and other Rabbi's who fail to condemn or prevent the IDF from acting recklessly.
The bottom line is that Rabbi Ronsky and the majority of Rabbi's including Chareidi Rabbi's who recently protested with hundreds of thousands "in the name of Torah" are now silent about what the Torah says about destroying Jewish homes in Eretz Yisroel. They fail, by their silence, to stop IDF bulldozers from destroying Jewish homes!
Are we going to experience another Gush Katif and Amona on a massive scale in Judea and Samaria?
Remember that these kids were young children who experienced deep and lasting trauma when they witnessed their beautiful homes destroyed and their lives shattered with the Gush Katif expulsions! We all know what happened in Sderot and southern Israel following the Gush Katif expulsions. Shame on you for blaming such kids who destroy tires! Look at yourself in the mirror and see that by your silence you are allowing the IDF, border police etc. to destroy homes and communities once again!
Don't be a hypocrite and condemn their "criminal" actions which are pale in comparison to yours! These kids deserve our apologies and assurances that the sins of the past are not repeated!
What you call Zionism is just the opposite! The kids know the truth!
