Jews in the Israeli Army? What a preposterous statement my good man!

Or am I missing the point completely?

That's the problem, I believe. When you start including God things generally get much uglier.

No.

Stop blaming "God" for the acts of man. It's a scapegoat used by pseudointellectuals to shield themselves from the harsh reality that we are all capable of committing cruelty.

When you include people who believe violence is justified by God, things generally get much uglier.

I don't think having rabbis like chaplains in the army is a bad thing, the guys in the video seem to have very questionable motives though.

Thats the real issue isn't it though , the IDF is already having problems with discipline and troops refusing to follow orders, the last thing it needs is spiritual mentors who have their own version of gott mit uns und Lebensraum.
So Rabbis in the army , no problem. Crazy Rabbis in the army , big problem
