Rabbi Motkah Blau, one of the "Degel HaTorah" activists, made an outrageous comparison this morning (Wednesday), in a conversation with Udi Segal and Anat Davidov on 103fm, between issuing conscription orders for the ultra-Orthodox - and the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews in the Holocaust.

"For some reason we are reminded of the dark period of the last century, the 1930s, the Wannsee Commission, where they sit and discuss how to make a final solution," said Blau. "The whole goal, the whole trend, is a final solution for the world of Torah, a fatal blow to the Haredi sector and public."
He added: "I want to say that there is a feeling, and I speak from a feeling, that they took a sector and turned it into a punching bag for Mr. Yuli Edelstein, the liar, the schemer, who decided that he runs the country exactly the same way Mrs. Miara thinks she runs the country. Hello, we talked, this is not a draft law, this is not an evasion law, this is a law regulating the status of yeshiva students."
"Now, you want to talk about the issue of the Haredi public in general, the working - we'll talk. We'll talk about those who don't work. But first of all, there's the regulation of the status of yeshiva students and the Torah world, as it has been here since the founding of the state. So now they're taking advantage of a political situation, each of their own private interests, we know exactly where Yuli is aiming. He's aiming to oust Bibi and move to Bennett."
Then he tried to justify his outrageous words. "I'll explain under what influence I said these things. First of all, I meant spiritually, that's also destruction. A few minutes ago I received a video from a Knesset committee that is sitting and discussing where to capture the deserters and where to put them. Dan Harel, Deputy Chief of Staff, says: 'I can set up a tent camp in the Judean Desert in a short time and I will put 15,000 Haredim there,' is that the discourse?
"We are sitting in a government with which we signed agreements, and we signed a core agreement in principle with it. Why didn't you ask in the War of Independence when many more people were killed than now, and Ben-Gurion was right to understand that the world of the Torah should be allowed to exist because it is the existence of the people, because he studied the Bible."
