Jews' role in global conflicts is not politics or opinion, but serving Hashem through Torah and teshuva. Wars signal a call for our teshuva, not news obsession. Such obsession is *bitul Torah* and the true source of tragedy; lack of Torah, not leaders, brings suffering. Our only weapon and salvation in any war is diligent Torah study, its publicization, and teshuva.
