This thread has fallen off of the point.
You must remember that when one person says something in the negative, the other will invent their own positive. Claiming that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel means that it is islamic land to other people. Not that it is just in a holding pattern of some sort in waiting. Stating the obvious, that this is not true, does not invite Jewish blood to be spilled. They were doing it long before 1948. Secondly, I do not understand this thought that Jews aren’t allowed to live there at the moment but squatters can just come in.
The only thing this declaration says is this. By not stating the obvious fact, that everyone throughout history has always known, has not contributed to the so-called “peace” process which has been going on for GENERATIONS. The only thing that fake reality does is to keep some people in nonsense jobs who spend their days analyzing the “peace process” for pundits as so-called “experts”. It doesn’t advance peace or stability, it’s a job’s program.
I’m born unaffiliated, but even I know enough to know that the Rebbe was not against stating the obvious, and was not against the state of Israel. He stated that Jews live in the land, and therefore we, to paraphrase, we can’t ignore that fact. Then there are the miracles of 48, 67, etc. Doesn’t matter if you didn’t want Israel, it has already miraculously happened and you need to accept this. There are Jews there.
You can keep ignoring it’s existence, and pretend that Jerusalem is as islamic as Ramallah or Rome, it won’t make it so.
