The average secular Israeli does not wish to be forced to observe Shabbos and sees laws demanding its enforcement as an imposition. Fair enough.<BR/>But from the Chareidi perspective, army service is an evil thing that they are always at risk of having imposed on them.<BR/>We see army service as a necessity and a sign of participating in national life. That's our perspective so we don't see the idea of chareidim being forced into the army as wrong. But they do have a right to their perspective, as much as we would disagree with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627627202031486081.post-62731965357921167572007-12-13T20:27:00.000-05:002007-12-13T20:27:00.000-05:00>> They are also members of an "enlightened" socie...>> They are also members of an "enlightened" society that would never tolerate such abuse of any other ethnic group. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Any other ethnic group is not trying to impose its will on secular Israelis, except maybe for some of Israel's neighbors.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>> Unlike the makers of the commercial, they simply do not know better.<BR/><BR/>Garnel, I hope that you are not saying that halachat nibbel peh does not apply to secular jews.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704885840004960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627627202031486081.post-15876882529637235952007-12-13T19:21:00.000-05:002007-12-13T19:21:00.000-05:00Then so was the ad.Listen, neither was right but t...Then so was the ad.<BR/><BR/>Listen, neither was right but there's also a difference in context. The guys who developed the commercial know their target audience (the secular Israelis) and the kind of satire that will make them laugh and pay attention (dancing religious Jews). They are also members of an "enlightened" society that would never tolerate such abuse of any other ethnic group. What would have happened if they had shown Arabs going out to riot in Jenin then breaking into song? Could you imagine the uproar? In other words, they went for cute but should have known better.<BR/><BR/>The Chareidim who came up with the ad are part of a far more primitive culture. Unlike the makers of the commercial, they simply do not know better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627627202031486081.post-85123350131396785452007-12-13T16:05:00.000-05:002007-12-13T16:05:00.000-05:00>> on lp blog you wrote that athiest guys can talk...>> on lp blog you wrote that athiest guys can talk to girls. isn't that why your an athiest?<BR/><BR/>I am not an atheist.<BR/><BR/><BR/>>> the tv ad maligns every chareidi. that stupid caricature only represents the idiocy of the guy who printed it.<BR/><BR/>The tv ad was just a joke.SJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704885840004960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627627202031486081.post-39339078768997883022007-12-13T14:51:00.000-05:002007-12-13T14:51:00.000-05:00on lp blog you wrote that athiest guys can talk to...on lp blog you wrote that athiest guys can talk to girls. isn't that why your an athiest?<BR/><BR/>the tv ad maligns every chareidi. that stupid caricature only represents the idiocy of the guy who printed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
