Troll of the Day

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
Today's troll of the day is not a statement made by somebody or a cute troll of a tweet but an actual election sign..
Troll of the Day
This election sign for the UTJ party quotes a passuk in the Torah saying "will your brothers go out to war and you sit here [at home]?", meaning, dont be complacent and choose not to vote while your brothers are out fighting for their lives. The irony and greatness of the troll is that this passuk is actually in context saying that all Jews have to go out battle, real war, for the nation, and it is the UTJ party adherents that do not go out to battle (mostly) but "sit here" and learn in yeshivas and kollels instead of sharing the burden of war that the Torah calls upon us to share.
