Hakatan: “That makes no sense and is also a lie

You’d need to explain why it makes no sense. It isn’t enough to simply explain as much. To me it makes very much sense. If the oath is merely an activity that one shall not engage in, what does that have to do with a state that already exists?

You are making up an issue that Chazal did not mention. There is no mention of creating, living in, protecting, or keeping a Jewish state. It was only about trying to leave the Galus. There’s surely no Mitzvah of going back into Galus!

And you’d have to quote the קריינא דאגרתא fully, because i recall him making The exact point that you said makes no sense. He was responding to someone who tried invoking the three oaths, and he was upset about it.
