That I don't know. They may have known something then that many people seem to know now.yaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-39690101406998979772013-01-14T18:49:53.874+02:002013-01-14T18:49:53.874+02:00Maybe the religious parties are not such a good id...Maybe the religious parties are not such a good idea in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-29998516799482570242013-01-14T18:11:42.438+02:002013-01-14T18:11:42.438+02:00as far as I can recall, he only began speaking out...as far as I can recall, he only began speaking out against the Yosef family and associates after he was attacked many times.... he keeps repeating, whether true or not I dont know, that when he was given by permission from Rav Steinman to start his own party, that he should concentrate on bringing in voters (who would otherwise vote for secular parties) and not talk against existing haredi parties...Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-36870347993575227942013-01-14T17:54:33.295+02:002013-01-14T17:54:33.295+02:00and why they are fighting so strongly against Yitz...<i>and why they are fighting so strongly against Yitzchak and his party. I am not sure what they were so afraid of, and I don't know if the approach taken did more good or harm.</i><br /><br />They're fighting him since he spoke out against Rav Ovadia's family and later, Rav Ovadia himself. They are protesting the Bizayon Hatorah. If he would have just kept quiet about Shas and said that he's trying to salvage some mandates from Hilonim, Shas would not be as vociferous in their response.<br /><br />And if it's a matter of Kavod Hatorah, it doesn't matter whether it will help or hurt their party - they feel they need to defend Rav Ovadia at all costs.yaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.com
