#2 info I have is that Hasidic leaders are telling their followers to report for military duty while other Haredim leaders are either silent or advising against reporting for military duty

#3 one suspects the disruption they cause will offset the manpower considerations. Hopefully an article 6 months down the road will provide enlightenment... and entertainment...

#6 Sounds like the Chinese of the 19th Century. They figured their failure to keep true to the old ways was the cause of their downfall. The Japanese figured it was the technology and gave the West a run for its money in the 40s. By the late 80s the Chinese caught on.

#7 China's woes were due to a hostile and aggressive UK that started repeated wars in an attempt to take over the world. This eventually bankrupted them and they had to give it up in favor of developing their own country. Let's follow their lead and skip to the end without the bankrupting wars with China.

#8 Like all dynasties it suffered from corruption, multiple European states getting 'concessions', and unwillingness to 'Westernize' its industry, infrastructure, and institutions. The Japanese did exactly the opposite.

#9 Do your part physically or get out. They are out breeding the rest of Israel and in 50-70 years they will be the majority and not doing anything WILL assure Israel's destruction.
