Deputy Minister of Education (Yahadut HaTorah) R� Meir Porush join those criticizing Pope Benedict XVI who is visiting Israel, accusing the pontiff of �feeding the fires of hate and dispute� by expressing his views on the matter of a two state solution between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority).
�
Porush sent a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman urging them once and for all to send a clear message to the world, to visiting dignitaries, that Eretz Yisrael is rightfully the possession of the Jewish People as it is the Promised Land.
�
He stressed the need to make such a statement to a visiting dignitary such as Pope Benedict, who represents millions of followers worldwide towards putting an end to statements that we are �occupiers�.
�
Porush emphasized it is critical that this message is heard in a definitive unabashed tone.

Meir Porush is 100% correct. He has made me proud.
Just if you make statements like that then you need to recognize that you accept the legitimacy of the Jewish state as a Jewish state (with all of it’s warts, no fooling ourselves) and participate in it fully, not just as beggar demanding handouts. (participation in general public discoourse – not just on ‘Haredi’ issues, serving in army, complete economic participation etc. )
