Ingratitude at its peak: the new "jewel" of United Torah Judaism

Yehuda Schlesinger attacks United Torah Judaism candidate Elikim Stark for comparing the arrest of Haredi draft dodgers to the Holocaust. Schlesinger writes that the comparison is inappropriate, since his grandparents had a deportation order, not a travel ban, and that the state has given the Jewish people more yeshivas than any generation since the destruction of the Temple.

Yehuda Schlesinger, a commentator on Channel 14, sharply attacks United Torah Judaism candidate Elikim Stark, who compared the arrest of Haredi draft dodgers to the Holocaust. Schlesinger writes that the comparison is inappropriate, since Stark's grandparents had a deportation order, not a travel ban, and that the State of Israel has an army and a flag. He adds that the state has given the Jewish people more yeshivas and kollels than any generation since the destruction of the Temple. Schlesinger states that Stark is allowed to fight the draft law, but he must not be ungrateful. The article concludes with the assertion that the State of Israel is a miracle, the answer to the Holocaust, and the beginning of redemption.
