Back in 1956 when I was an Israeli soldier in uniform, was travelling in an egged bus from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv with my companion, we encountered 2 haredim who were just returning from the big demonstration in Jerusalem for building a men/women swimming pool. During the confrontation, we asked them I they served in the Israeli army. Their answer was emphatically "NO. God will protect us from all enemies." Then we asked them "How come God did not protect the 6M Who perished by the Nazis just short 11-15 years prior, they answered without missing a beat: "Maybe they deserved that". At that point some other passengers , mainly HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS jumped on them, wanted to lynch them; but they were saved by the hero bus driver who stopped the bus and literally threw them out in the middle of the road. He was applauded by all the passengers. Thank you.

I saw hundreds of Haredi men and boys on the news tonight, and I could not stop laughing. Those silly hats and plats, and acting like demented woodpeckers with their heads and upper body. No wonder these freeks don't fit in anywhere in the world. I would never allow any of them to live in my neighbourhood.

Most Haredi rabbis cannot fathom God’s providence during the Holocaust when trying to come to terms with the destruction of their communities. Since the prophets ancient Israel ceased from prophesising, we never have understood the ways of God and we never will. It is foolish to hypothesise on the reasons for such tragedies. In the case of the Holocaust, it was the free choice of men to do evil and we can put the blame squarely on them. We can also place some of the blame on the evil Zionists who were so intent on creating their national home that they were willing to sacrifice Jewish blood (a lot of it Haredi – the Agudah was only given a 5% quota) in order to attain their dream, for if there had been no Holocaust, it is doubtful the UN would have voted Israeli into existence, and the Zionists knew it. So according to them, the unfortunate Jews of Europe DID deserve it: “Bedam acheinu nikneh artzenu” was their motto. And as the majority of those who perished were Orthodox/Haredi – if some rabbis who survived wish to suggest a reason why their families were butchered, namely that God was punishing them and that the Jewish nation deserved it, they reserve the right to do so. On whether it is God or the army who protects Jews, it is a mixture of both. The Purim story was directed by God from behind the scenes, but when the time came, the Jews took up arms to defend their families and kill their enemies. The reason why religious Jews refuse to join the IDF is because they cannot stomach defending a county established upon the blood of the grandparents who marched into the gas chambers because the Zionists insisted “only to Palestine!” I don’t understand why Haredi Jews decide to go and live in Israel which is governed by a group of heretics who have settled in the Holyland only to defile it. But the Haredim you met on the bus are most probably descended from the Yishuv Hayashan and have every right to despise the foreign Zionist conquerors and their institutions which have brought only gloom and despair upon them.
