Israel creating another Jewish diaspora. There's something ironic in that.
"buy tickets and go"
This dude doesn't know how military mobilization works.
I mean. True, but also people with the means are already leaving. Many will manage to leave before getting swept up in this, though if they went for full mobilization they could certainly restrain many more from leaving after that point. The idea of Israel as a place where jews from all over the world immigrate to is already not looking nearly as appealing as it did 6 months ago, if they start restraining people from leaving and pressing them into military service I think it'll be dead for a generation. (assuming isntreal even survives that long). I guess this guy is betting they wouldn't dare. Perhaps wrongly.
it honestly gives me great hope. If Oct 7th turns out to be the first domino in a chain reaction that leads to the economic collapse of israel... Well let's just say I'll be rejoicing. It certainly seems to be hurting them, but whether it's recoverable remains to be seen.
Yitzhak Yosef, as the Chief Sephardi Rabbi is pretty dripped out though
Making a jewish ethnostate was bound to fail. They should just ramp up conversion and give citizenship to white South Africans or white American evangelicals
Isn't that already kind of their bit? I thought they had tons of white American evangelicals.
Go where?
Cause y'know sooooooo many other nations are just waiting for the influx of Haredi's so that they can hand out money for people to leech off society and read religious books all day for the rest of their lives...
They're not exactly skilled labor
