Health, then what is the solution to galut? Hashem promised us EY not Boro Park.
KJ, the Mufti ym”s was born in 5657 so he could not have had any relationship with Jews prior to the impending creation of a Jewish state. While it is true that at first he supported Emir Faisal, who was pro-Zionist, his rivalry with the Nashashibi clan, which favored non-violent opposition to Zionism and later partition of EY, for intra-Arab power led him to be both anti-British and anti-Jewish. The statement from the Jewish Observer you quote is itself shameful. It whitewashes the Mufti. It is like those liberals in the US who blame crime on discrimination and never mind that the vast majority of the victims are black (similarly the Mufti’s forces killed many more Arabs than Jews). He chose his way. He could have just as easily followed Emir Faisal’s lead and urged co=operation with the Zionists for the mutual benefit of Arabs and Jews. Likewise the British chose to follow an Arabist policy. EY is ours. Period. In fact, Ramban says that the Tora starts with Creation so that WE will know this. Arabs can be gerim toshavim but they must accept Israel as a Jewish state.
