Avi K -“1. The Medina through its various organs, including the IDF, supports Tora instituions and learners. It even supports those who are not exactly learning full-time. If not for this they would have to (gasp) work for a living.”
False! Many Yeshivos right now (gasp) don’t take money from the Medina and they survive just fine!
“3. Do you really think that the UN would support Tora? Anyway, the Jordanians occupied Yehuda veShomron and Yerushalayim in nay case and would still be in control. Don’t forget, the Arabs rejected the partition plan that included internationization. The Kotel would be inaccessible and Jews would not be allowed to set foot in the Old City.”
The Turks should be running Palestine and you wouldn’t have all these problems! The UN can’t run itself, let alone another country. Jordan only took the West Bank & the Kosel because the Tzionim decided to start up with the Goyim. Before that they allowed Jews to visit the Kosel!
