Mixed Combat Service
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is mixed combat service (artillery, etc.) forbidden according to Jewish law?
Thank you
Answer
Of course not. Why would it be forbidden? There may be undesirable situations, but there is no prohibition.
Discussion on Answer
Not one, not two—three!!!
Sorry for the blunt intrusion, but certainly all three!
1. Fighting for Zionism and the state is literally idolatry, truly truly so, and even worse than that (according to the leading sages of the generations, and there is no need to elaborate).
2. It will lead to a situation of “girls in the turret,” and so on (those who understand will understand).
3. Killing with artillery the sons of the religion of peace and brotherhood is genocide (according to the International Court, etc.).
What if it raises concern about the three severe transgressions?
