So just because I’m Haredi I have no standing to make claims? I’m astonished. Maybe you’ll also decide that because I’m Haredi I use matzot mixed with blood.

Not just logic. Reading comprehension too. The situation is hopeless. Blood libels are a useful tool against someone toward whom we have no justified claims. As far as the Haredim are concerned, that problem does not exist, thank God.

Making an anti-Semitic assertion that because I testify that I am Haredi I have no standing at all in these areas is also an unjustified claim.

Rabbi Michi,
It is completely understandable why, in your opinion, the Haredim in general, in light of their conduct, have no leg to stand on in these matters.
But a specific Haredi is writing to you here, speaking in his own name, and maybe this is a guy who finished career military service as a combat soldier, and today is a senior high-tech executive who brings startups into Israel’s economy from around the world, all while volunteering with Magen David Adom and Brothers in Arms, and planting trees in the Negev.
The fact that he identifies as Haredi may simply mean that this is the sector he belongs to—in the communal sense: community, family, educational institutions, voting in elections.
There are Haredim like that. True, when looking at the Haredim as a whole, there is clearly no reason to attribute these things to them because of anecdotal cases,
but here a person is addressing you privately—why attribute stereotypes to him?

Let him identify himself by name or by a nickname. Someone who identifies himself as “Haredi” can be presumed to have come to provoke.

That’s the least vague nickname, rather than just saying my name is such-and-such pseudonym. In this case Shmuel was right: not only did I serve, I had the highest clearance there currently is in the army (and from here you can understand why I conceal my name completely), and I gave not only my younger years in the most significant contribution that can currently be given in the military (I’ll only hint that part of the successful opening operation that took place in Iran is closely connected to the revolution I brought about in the Air Force, which is connected among other things to concepts from the Theory of Constraints and bottlenecks, which this is not the place to detail, after I implemented it first in the American Air Force and afterwards here in Israel, along with many other classified actions that Michi will not know about until the day he dies). And not only that: after my years of service ended, I volunteered literally for free for more than 20 years (not as a career soldier in the standing army; thank God I’m not lacking money). Mainly to throw mud and filth—well, that’s what there is.

Impressive that you managed to do all that with such low intelligence. I mean, it could be that you’re an exceptionally gifted mechanic, but to carry out a revolution in the American Air Force and then make changes in Israel, when by your own account your role is related to engineering, industrial management, and information systems—I would have expected clearer expression, fewer spelling and grammar mistakes, and a basic ability to understand data. Strange.
On the substance of the matter: by your reasoning, could Bennett voters in those days when he became prime minister have ignored the law? What nonsense…
If your building committee decides by majority vote on yellow lighting in the lobby, when all your life you’ve declared how much you hate yellow lighting, does that exempt you from paying building fees? Move or pay like everyone else.

I have no idea about your great intelligence (if in fact you have it, as you are trying to hint, you could have arrived at an insight along the following lines). In any case, I’m originally Australian, and my Hebrew comes from interaction with my students in the Air Force and not from ulpan studies and the like.

Friends, I suggest not getting into an in-depth discussion here about people’s intelligence.
