they died so that others might live. they died defending the innocent. they died for the sake of zion. they died for the city of david, yerushalyim. they died for the jewish nation. they died for those who love and those who quarrel. they died for the sake of the name.

had Israel been a Jewish country, a Torah country, the way Gd wants it to be, there would have been no death and no enemies because Gd would fight the enemies to the end. Instead, Israel's goal is to be as secular as can come, from the top 10 immoral countries in the world and you expect Gd to be pleased. Read the Torah and see for yourself. The government should thank haredi Jews daily for following the Torah, thus protecting the land at least somewhat.

#2 If israel would follow your advice, there would be no Israel

Sorry, but I cannot recall a single United States soldier dying in the cause of Israel. I can, however, easily recall a whole heckuva lot of Americans dying in Lebanon. In Iraq. In Afghanistan. In Kuwait. In Saudi Arabia. In Libya. Protecting and defending a bunch of Moslem terrorists, most of whom also happen to be Arabs. You need a reality check, sluggo.

genocide on the defenseless, forceably transfer the native population.

I live in the diaspora..However,my thought to our productive and the only democracy in the whole ME is a beacon of fairness and she--Israel flourishes despite the slings and arrows that are slung at it.My whole families live,have been are there even before the "rebirth" of Israel.May God preserve and keep her safe.....Amen

defend it. The ONLY way to defend it is via the Torah as clearly stated in the Torah. Anything else will not stop the enemy and will "vomit its inhabitants" including Jews.

for two thousand years we were exiled. our tzadikim, rabbanim, our people studied torah and prayed as it was commanded. torah kept our people united even in exile, even during expulsions. yet our people were continuously murdered and tortured. in our greatest catastrophe, one and a half million jewish children were murdered in unspeakable conditions. we had no weapons to defend them. their parents and their communities were helpless and their prayers were not answered. today we have weapons. torah is just one of our weapons. the torah teaches that we were given a land and we were given an army and weapons with which to defend our land and our people. the torah does not teach passivity. to the contrary, the torah teaches self defence.

So, why don't you defend Israel and get rid of the tunnels in Gaza and Lebanon? That is how Israel is going to be attacked by bombs and rockets delivered by tunnels.

have been killed and maimed since 1948 IN ISRAEL not in exile? And that's not through pogroms or expulsions. If Israel would only trust Gd and keep His Torah, instead of acting like non-Jews or worse, Gd Himself would do the job of fighting. He said so, but of course Israel is not interested in Gd. They want "independence" of Gd and His Torah and then they're upset at the amount of fallen soldiers. Well, you can't have it both ways; you can't be a Jewish nation in Gd's land living like non-Jews and expect Gd to defend you. The Torah teaches self-defense, where? Secular Jews like you and Sarah always interpret the Torah to suit your non-Jewish immoral ways. If anything, the Torah clearly states it will vomit its inhabitants and bring enemies onto them if you do immoral stuff and that's exactly what's happening.

Israel needs to take the offense with "Palestinians" and other foes. You don't win defending. As former U.S. President Harry Truman put it: "Bring the battle to the enemy. Never let them bring it to you".
