Degel HaTorah Leader Rabbi Dov Lando Condemns Religious Zionists for Military Service and Violence
Rabbi Dov Lando, leader of the ultra-Orthodox Degel HaTorah party, sharply criticized the Religious Zionist community during a conversation with heads of Haredi yeshivas. He accused some Religious Zionists, specifically those wearing kippot srugot (knitted yarmulkes), of being wicked for serving in the Israeli military and killing people. Rabbi Lando questioned the morality of their actions, calling it outright murder. He further claimed that these individuals incite violence and wage wars not merely for defense but to uphold national honor.
