The "Losers" of the IDF

There's such a "shortage of manpower" in the IDF that they just have to arrest and force yeshivah students into service, even if it means giving them a job instead of sending them into the fields.  Not only that, they have completely ignored the abundance of actual draft-evaders among the non-observant Israeli public.  And not only that but they are currently sending their volunteerly conscripted fighters home or to prison. 

Commander Removed Over Kusra Prayer Incident

The Israel Defense Forces has dismissed a reserve commander following an incident in which his soldiers participated in a prayer service alongside settlers in the West Bank village of Kusra, according to a report Tuesday evening by Kan News.

The military completed an investigation into footage showing Home Front Command reservists praying together with settlers in Kusra, located in the northern West Bank region of Samaria. The incident occurred while a Palestinian family was under siege in the area.

According to the investigation's findings, the force commander had received explicit instructions to avoid any actions that could be interpreted as support for illegal activity and to maintain distance between his troops and the settlers. Despite these directives, when asked to complete a prayer quorum, the minimum number of ten men required for certain Jewish prayers, he authorized his soldiers to join the service.

Military officials determined that the documented incident caused significant reputational harm to Israel and was interpreted internationally as army endorsement of rioters. Based on these conclusions, the IDF decided to remove the force commander from his command position. No disciplinary action will be taken against the other soldiers involved, as investigators found they had acted in accordance with their commander's orders.

As long as the IDF is controlled from the top by a bunch of real losers, there is no winning in this war unless it leads to the collapse of the current bastardized system.

WW3 Is On The Brink Once Again

UPDATE@11pm:  Iran is lashing out with ballistic missiles in every direction.

* * *

And the on-again-off-again US vs. Iran war has gone hot again, too.

In addition to this, there are reports of Russian "attacks" on both Germany and Poland - that means NATO.  It appears to be bombings of drone facilities or drone production facilities intended for Ukrainian use against Russia.

I always wondered, since Germany was instrumental in starting both WW1 and WW2, whether they might eventually have something to do with starting WW3 as well.

Israeli Election: Reversal of Redemption?

19 Elul 5786 

Those who think the Zionist State of Israel embodies the fulfillment of our redemption need look no further than the party slates for the upcoming election to see that this idea is erroneous.

If you look honestly at the historical record, it is easier to track the trajectory.  The Jews have been steadily losing ground to the Israelis over time - both literally and figuratively.  Think about it!  From Pride Parades only in Tel Aviv to parades in every city in Israel.  From no public transportation on Shabbat to regular desecration of Shabbat by public transportation.  

Now, we have come to the most glaring example of all.  For the first time in its history, an Arab party is including an Israeli "Jew" and a Jewish right-wing party is including an Israeli Chr*stian Arab.  The early Zionist leaders must be rolling over in their graves.

This is the proof that we are headed to a revolution before there will be a complete redemption, because this is too far off the path to bring us to our desired destination and it's only going farther and farther astray with every year that passes! 

We have to stand our ground now and begin clawing back what we've already lost because there is no such thing as a "status quo".  Either we are advancing toward geulah or we are sliding back into the abyss of exile.  No middle ground!  The enemy does not allow it and neither does HKB"H!!
