Rabbi Melamed: "If I'd Been Asked, I would have Denounced the Act, but I won't Capitulate to Government Pressure."

Rabbi Eliezer Melamed commented on the recent developments regarding the Har Bracha Hesder yeshiva opposite the IDF, saying that if the Shimshon soldiers would have asked him whether or not to wave the subordinate signs, he would have told them not to. However, after the fact, he did not agree to sign the letter because of the manner in which Barak acted. “One must not sit does in discussion under government pressure, and a rabbi must be able to express his inner truth."
