HaKatan said this on 2026 June 3 at 11:21 AM:
“There are at least three oaths there,
and they are totally independent of each other
for numerous reasons.”

MY RESPONSE:
The famed Rabbi Shlomo Kluger explains that
if the gentiles do not observe their oath,
then we are exempt from ours.
Nobody who learned about the Holocaust can
take the gentile’s oath seriously, as if they did not
“oppress us too much”, so we clearly are no longer
obligated by our oath, and it is no longer “before its time”.

MY RESPONSE:
Rabbi Teichtal, in his work, “Em HaBanim Smeicha,” explaijns:
Although the Jews were sworn not to enter Eretz Yisrael forcefully,
the nations of the world were also sworn not to persecute the Jews too much.
Over the course of the exile, the Jews were severely persecuted by the gentiles.
Because the gentiles violated their oath, the Jews were no longer bound by their oath.

MY RESPONSE:
Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz also said that:
The Three Oaths DO NOT APPLY because the nations of the world
violated their side of the deal, by persecuting Jews excessively.
[For example: The Crusades, The Spanish Inquisitions of 1391 and 1492,
Islamic persecutions, the Chmielnicki Massacres, and The Holocaust.]

MY RESPONSE:
HaKatan knows very well that many Rabbis disagree with him,
when he says that:
“There are at least three oaths there,
and they are totally independent of each other…”.
He has seen that belief refuted many times, in this Coffee Room,
but he chooses to ignore all refutations,
because he is a stubborn shameless liar.
