Ultra-Orthodox leaders and newspapers rejoiced at the impending dissolution of the Knesset and government — the latter being one of the few in recent memory that didn’t include Haredi parties — and many attributed its downfall to divine intervention.
“His name is praised in the world!” said Rabbi Shalom Cohen, the spiritual leader of the Shas party, which represents Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews. “A government that harmed and tried to destroy Judaism and the sanctity of Israel and harmed the weak has been driven from the world. The holy one, blessed be he, has had mercy on the people of Israel.”
Cohen, 91, made his pronouncement from his hospital room on Monday night shortly after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced his plans to call for the dissolution of the Knesset, which will send the country back to elections for the fifth time in less than four years.

ReplyDeleteBut only when you get what you want. Then His name isn't praised. I love the conditional faith.

ReplyDeleteIt's a repeated pattern. When this government was established, God was nowhere to be found. Must be the Satan in the command chair or something. The government falls and suddenly, He's back!
ReplyDeletethe next election has not been won yet, and it is not clear who will win. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
ReplyDeleteI suppose to make this really work, they need a gematria for the number of days the government lasted. Or the number of days between the foundation of the previous government and the next one. Or between one election and another.
