"Unrealistic" and "Impractical"

I have often been accused of being "unrealistic" and "impractical," particularly recently, and the frequency of these accusations has been increasing.

And what is it which makes me "unrealistic" and "impractical?"

Whenever I mention a Torah-based solution to anyone of the number of challenges we Jews face as a people, now residing in our true homeland, those knowledgeable in Torah tend not to strike down my suggestions. Rather they respond that these suggestions are currently unattainable.

I cannot dispute this. However, I refuse to accept this as an excuse for refraining from even discussing what the Torah provides as possible solutions to these challenges, and in some case the only accepted solutions, have been commanded to carry them out, let alone completely discounting what them as "unrealistic" and "impractical."

One of the goals of the Jewish People is to make Torah the reality in This World (העולם הזה). For some reason, this goal is only manifested in some ways, while others are discounted, or set aside due to fear of the secular, Ashkenazy controlled, Israeli Government, or of "what the goyim will say, ie. in my opinion חוסר אמונה (lack of faith).

If being "unrealistic" and "impractical" are crimes, if attempting to keep the focus on the above goal of making Torah the reality, instead of accepting, if not advocating the statue quo, then I plead "guilty."
