I laughed out loud reading this. Typical Israel chutzpah (for lack of a better word)...

Should this be filed under the pros and cons of where you live? (Not that I am aware of any DDF member that lives in Parish, AL).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I can only equate him with the Poles who are claiming Holocaust victimhood in the #PolishDeathCamps saga. Everyone wants to be a special interest group and somehow fit their own experience into someone else's narrative.

90 minutes at a museum? For this nitwit? I could have told you beforehand that was a bad idea. I guarantee you he hasn't been to a museum since his 7th grade went on a class trip.

Wow...finally someone who speaks the truth.
and then there's this....Someone who actually served in both the US  and Israeli militaries, told me it was easier to be a religious Jew in the US army. That's sad....
Forced shaving
Forced kol Isha concert
Etc...

Somehow i think one has a better shot of remaining religious in the Israeli army. Forced shaving and kol isha concerts are the least of the issues in US Army. Im sure you must shave there too.

Dont change the subject. Rabbi Wein always says in his lectures that some people need to come to grips with the reality of a vibrant Israel and to stop fighting the fight that was fought 100 years ago. Yehuda Meshi Zahav just acknowledged that. Thats all this says. For all it faults the State of Israel is a success Boruch Hashem.

1.on a personal level, not an institutional level.
2. You still need to protest the faults

It's very possible that the success (religion-wise), is due to those who fought against the secularists. Also, his explanation of the anti medinah shita is very oversimplified. I'm not sure that the fact that things turned out better than expected (with regard to religion) would justify statehood and the government according to those opinions
