Count on just about nobody paying attention to this jerk. Our sons and daughters will enlist as required and serve with distinction.
2. Amen - he is the glove for the iron fist of evil dictates

by those who either disenfranchise the electorate or maintain power without the benifit of elections
3. With all due respect

I understand that Rav Dayan is making a mistake by looking at any soldier of the IDF as an enemy. The enemy are the arabs! We may not agree with many decisions (actually I don't like the army's behavior under Ehud Barak) but we must understand that this is our land and that we must defend it first from the arabs and then from people who don't believe in HaShem.
4. no to rabbi

israel is a small wonderful state that has to make compromises in the world we live in. All israelis who are able must serve in the armed forces. otherwise, the jewish state will fail. Now, i don't agree with livni, barak and olmert. However,t he law is the law. Get into politics and run for office so you can advance your point of view. But israelis have to serve in the idf and you have no business to advise them not to serve. As if you have special powers from God. It reminds me of olmert running to rabbi yosef to get a blessing and kiss to help him be well in his prostate surgery. What rubbish! Yosef and all rabbis have no such powers. What they have is some ability to give advice.
5. No. 3 Ricardo

I think you'll find that quite a few of the defenders of Israel are themselves "people who don't believe in HaShem" yet they're willing to make the ultimate sacrifice defending the State. The reality is not every agnostic and atheist is a lunatic fringe leftist who would willingly hand Israel to the Palestinians on a silver platter. In fact, many of them are committed Zionists who are actively protecting Israel and its citizens, while the those who are civilians work hard to support Israel in other ways. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and these people aren't your enemies by any stretch of the imagination.
