Reply To: Agudah Supports Palestinian Statehood

I would just like to point out that I don’t necessarily think that the Agudah supporting a Palestinian State is inherently a negative position. 5ish, I think, would disagree with me on this point. But IF the creation of a Palestinian State as part of a peace treaty would have the net effect of saving more Jewish lives, it would be a positive.

I should also point out that Phil is dead wrong about the Moetzes. This statement came from the Agudah’s political office led by laymen. And I can confirm from first-hand information, something that’s well known to anyone familiar with the Agudah, that the press releases and statements made by the Agudah’s lay office are NOT vetted or approved by the Moetzes. Including this January press release.

In any event, the primary point here is the Agudah’s language praised the Trump peace plan, including specifically mentioning in a positive manner the offer for Palestinian statehood.
