Postermania XIII - Or Addressing Scourges of the Past Century Now

Free translation of above:
"Unfortunately, we are close to perceiving that the nesuyon (temptation) of this generation is the computer with the internet (internet phone). The haskala (Enlightenment), Zionism, and Communism rolled into one do not approach the level of of abandonment of faith and the destruction which this bitter device can effectuate. This is the cause of shmad (leaving our traditions) of the current generation, not to be wished on us or on you..."

(Harav HaGaon Rav Berel Katz - Av Bais Din of Bais Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky)

Lebanon War Over High Tech

According to a Wall Street Journal May 22 feature (here or here) the entire mini war in Beirut two weeks ago was over a high tech fiber optic communications network.

A rudimentary version of this network was what enabled Hezbollah to make such a good showing against Israel in 2006.

So now we can add to the causes of war such as land, oil, and prejudice, high tech.

Something we Torah True Jews should have no knowledge of or connection with.

orthodox jews and the internet.
