Ambassador Huckabee, Justice and Truth in Judgement and the Israeli Mindset

by Moshe Burt

This visit by US Ambassador Mike Huckabee to the Arab town of Turmus Ayya during this past Shabbat, and the Ambassador’s seeming knee-jerk reaction of “dangerous and threatening settlers,” which was actually found to be the driver of the Ranger vehicle and his passenger who were on a security personnel detail, has irked and rankled Israelis.

According to the driver’s explanation on “X”: read more

The Questions General Winter and His Amcha Yisrael Party Must Answer on Hareidi Draft?

The Questions General Winter and His Amcha Yisrael Party Must Answer on Hareidi Draft?

By Moshe Burt

Winter Responds to Netanyahu: This is What Endangers the Right-Wing Bloc

“What endangers the right-wing camp is allowing people to evade military service instead of fighting for the integration of the haredim.”

It is being said by many commentators that the number one campaign issue is drafting and integrating Hareidim into the IDF.

General Winter, YOU are known to be a Torah Jew fighting Milchamtah Shel Torah. But what about the commanders and generals of the High Command Echelons? Will the military see to the religious needs of the Hareidim they draft? Or will it be more of the same: mixed-gender tanks and troop carriers, mixed gender concerts forced on religious soldiers — both Hareidi and Religious Zionists, severe discrimination against Hareidim and not seeing to their Kashrut and religious needs? Will you clear out the ROT among high command echelons? Will you see that Religious Zionist, and yes, hopefully Hareidi officers are promoted and advanced based on their actions on the battlefield and their qualifications, not based on political ideology and agenda? General Winter, you need to answer these questions clearly and succinctly! read more
