מצווה גוררת מצווה , עברה גוררת עברה .

English : One good deed will bring another good deed, one transgression will bring another transgression.

– Pirkei Avot 4:2

Update : I'm taking down and banning anyone who makes "conversion to judaism" posts , on this community , I'm completely against conversion and proselytism of non-jews in this community , The traditional rabbinic view ( that is also my view as well ) , dating back to Talmudic times, discourages accepting non-jews into judaism ,

Rabbi Helbo ;

“קשים גרים לישראל כספחת”

English ; “"Converts" are as hard to the Jewish people as a leprous scab on the skin”

The Rambam ( Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon ) ;

ואם לא נמצא להם עילה, מודיעין אותן כובד עול“ התורה, וטורח שיש בעשייתה על עמי הארצות, כדי שיפרושו.”

English ; “And if no justification is found for them, the burden of the Torah Ha-Qudesha is made known to them, and the effort involved in its observance is emphasized to the common people, so that they may refrain.”

Again , if some person or individual makes a post about "conversion" , it will be removed and the person or individual will be banned from this community ( from The Jewish Community of Lemmygrad ) .

When it comes to the question of why Israelis don't really confront the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Weltman holds the media largely, although not solely, responsible. "Mainstream news outlets here are duplicitous when it comes to not presenting a complete picture," he asserts. "They make a conscious decision to omit facts, or to present them as scandalous or controversial."

He offers as an example the recent comments by former [...] defense minister Moshe Ya'alon who said that the military is currently engaged in ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. "He was merely stating facts, facts that other right wing ministers admit are true," Weltmann argues, "and the entire media decided to present it as this huge scandal."

Which is not to say Israelis themselves are blameless. "Even if the media did show more of these images," Weltmann concedes, "I'm not so naive as to think the public would spontaneously change their minds overnight. We know that war causes people to move to the right and that would happen no matter what they saw on the news."

"But day in and day out," Weltman says, "the media beats the drums of war. They are not just reflecting this shift towards nationalism. They are contributing to it."

In terms of response to the campaign, Weltmann says that they've seen some calls among right-wing groups to confront the ad company who created the posters, but other than that no one has damaged the posters or tried to take them down. "As soon as we hung them up, we had lots of people reach out and tell us how important they think it is for these messages to get out there."
