nuts

The response of the typical frum person to any criticism of israel even in Gaza reveals the insanity that plagues the yeshiva world. In case you didn't notice, they are insane about everything. There is no area where they are normal whether it be the cold bloodedness of shiduchim, marriage as happy wife happy life, i.e. indulging the wife, dating resumes that tell you only where the brother learns, this mad notion of having a rav to run your life when he knows nothing about you, pilpul as the only acceptable Torah study, not studying Hebrew as a language while telling you to do nothing in life other than study, not having a way of earning a parnassah even though you need $200,000 a year to survive, excommunicating anybody who disagrees with them, boys wearing a hat on top of their tefillin, the boring clothing of the men, sitting the bochur across from the wife at the shabbos table, the oversized black hats, unhealthy diet with no exercise, having young men marry at 23 when their sex drives are roaring from age 16 even as masturbation is regarded as the worst sin, shiurim consisting of a guy reading from a book and doing it by racing through the Hebrew and then the English, school principals who don't work with parents but simply announce that "I consult with gadolim," the entire idea of gadolim as these perfect all-knowing beings, labeling every rabbi as a gaon, parnassah without any regard for job satisfaction, pushing away mitzvos and making the entire religion about pilpul, leaving the young women with nothing to do but sleep until noon on Shabbos, religion devoid of consciousness of God, pushing the average guy to study 16 hours a day, telling each boy that if he only tries hard enough he can be a gadol and if he isn't a gadol it's because he didn't try, $80,000 weddings, regarding the entire human race and most of Jewry with disdain, relentless verbal abuse by rabbis particularly of anybody with a question, interfering with the religious derech of anybody who doesn't want to be yeshivish and even those that do, viewing themselves as superior to every baal teshuvah and convert despite the evidence of who really is superior, constantly contradicting people and arguing with them, pretending to know the insides of people that there's something wrong with them, not having any sense of humor, obsessing about barely existent anti-semitism and exaggerating 'esau soneh yaakov into an absurdity, having 3 hour Shabbos meals which consist of lingering at the table and playing with food remains, insisting that everybody live in NY or Israel when houses cost $1 million, taking 1/2 an hour for weekday Maariv, burying the young women in homework and trying to turn them into yeshiva guys in any way they can outside of learning Gemara, being ignorant about the dangers of aliyah or in the case of Modern Litvish pushing everyone to move there. There's no area where they are normal, so why would you expect normalcy when they talk about Israel and Gaza?

Why are they like this? It's because they don't have mitzvos and don't have Hashem. For them, Judaism is lomdus only, so they go mad. Mitzvos give you a sane life. Hashem gives you a focus.
