  1. “Go nuts?” Is there any evidence of that. Like, for example, setting fire to dumpsters, or throwing rocks at buses and police, or cursing, or blocking traffic?

  2. The seculars are becoming more emboldened and going for all almost all-out war against the religious and Torah, in general. There is an orchestrated effort in Israel against Yiddishkeit on many fronts. The question is why is it being allowed and why is it being pursued?

  3. If the secular can micro-manage the religious sites(i.e. forcing the cuckoo section at the Western Wall), then why can’t the religious micro-manage the secular sites(i.e. movie theaters)?! However, we’ll probably be more effective by inviting the secular people for Shabos and such; you can’t change minds by using force.
