On that day of apologies what struck me was not who offered them, but who did not.
Israelis won’t forgive or forget the left’s weaponization of the hostages to do Hamas’s dirty work for it.

The Biden-Harris administration wants Bibi out to work with "their" PM: one who presumably would be delighted not only to have a terrorist Palestinian state on his borders and a nuclear Iran, policies promoted by Obama,

Hesder yeshivot go a long way toward debunking the secularization concern, but hesder yeshivot have also made various religious compromises. And philosophically, religious Zionist soldiers embrace certain nationalistic elements foreign to the charedi belief system.
