OPINION
The Plot against Kosher Phones will Not Succeed

by Yitzchok Roth


3

Yoaz Hendel, Communications Minister, had decided to finally end the voluntary restrictions that are applied to kosher cell phone lines and allow free accessibility between the various companies. All pleas were fruitless. All attempts of convincing were futile and the minister decided that he knows the needs of the chareidi public better than anyone and in the framework of "reeducating the public", he will abolish the restrictions of kosher phone numbers.

Arrogantly enough, he exploits his position in order to grossly trample the limitations imposed by gedolei Yisroel to avoid the anarchy prevalent in the public at large, when they ruled to impose boundaries for kosher phone use, so as to stop the moral decline of the general public.

The iniquitous government of which Hendel is a member, has purposely acted to uproot everything Jewish, beginning with conversions, continuing with kashrus and outlawing restrictions on kosher communication. The gross intervention of the Communications Minister is to cancel the supervision arrangement of many years standing over the phone companies in order to avoid exposure to places of licentiousness and apostasy is part of the present government's mindset that the time has come to extirpate Judaism and "reeducate" the chareidi public.

When the first shameless cell phones made their appearance in Israel, it was clear that if they were not stopped right away, they would inflict terrible damage on the public at large, if not doom. Every child possessing a smartphone would be exposed to horrible things, with their parents helpless to do anything except scream. If the parents possessed them, how could they prevent their children to do the same?
