AAQ – We did not cry to Hashem � we can�t learn Torah because Russian Czar is not providing us with childcare.
(Aside from the fact, as has been explained to you ad nauseam, that this isn’t “just” about learning, this is about “integrating the Chareidim into Israeli society” = OTD shmad = ????? ??? ?????. If and when this will really be about the operational needs of the IDF, the brass will have to choose between secular/progressive ideology and operational needs, they can’t have both.)
We sure did cry to Hashem when the Russian Czar drafted Jewish boys to his army. And we did every shtick in the book to get out of that, legally or otherwise. By the way, the Russian Army back then believed in Hashem in some form, prioritized the safety of their own soldiers before that of enemy civilians, and did not draft girls…
The Russian Czar provided no one with subsidized childcare… Those few rights Russian citizens sometimes had were often denied to Jews. That is called discrimination. Israel provides more rights and benefits to its citizens… Continuing to provide those same benefits to Arabs (who don’t usually serve in the IDF) but specifically not to Chareidim, is also a form of discrimination.
Hashem cares about everyone, more than they care about themselves. That doesn’t stop Him from doing things you and I don’t always understand. Gedolei Yisroel care about everyone more than you and I do. That doesn’t stop them from taking the course they are taking now. Why do you think that is so?
