    Yosi,

    1. His name was Hillel Rivlin. One of his descendants was Shlomo Zalman Rivlin, who published it without the more esoteric parts but did not write it. It was accepted as authentic by Rav Teuchtal, Rav Tzvi Yehuda (Kook) and Rav Menachem Kasher.

    2. The descendants of the Gra are numerous. It could be that some drifted into NK but they are actually a branch of Satmar.

    3. How many proofs do I need? Do I have to repeat each one 400 times like Rav Preida (Eruvin 54b).

    Avi k- Please look up the piece by Rav Shterbuch I mentioned. Also, the primary descendants of the Gra today, for example, Rav Shternbuch, are anti- zionist so that is good enough for me.

    3) Well, look up the sources from the previous page you said you would look up.

    Avi K : Thanks for your elucidation.I thought that this was the case. The caps on beer or mineral water are already caps-and it only requires to unscrew them. The caps that are made in one piece and where the bottom part breaks off can indeed be a problem as th action of breaking the bottom makes the top a “kli”- albeit a very tiny one! I think that-going back some decades- sardine cans were similarly a question and-if I remember correctly- the Tselemer Rov zz’l paskened that it is ok-as long as you threw away the empty can and never used it.

    hi I am new to CR.

    one great reason to debate Zionism is to have something to talk about…

    Avi: The NK are pure Litvaks and from the Talmidei HaGRA. They even daven Nusach Ashkenaz in their shuls.

    Lior, according to the Wikipedia article they are descended from both Lithuanian and Hungarian Jews whereas according to the Jewish Virtual library they are mainly of Hungarian descent. I would imagine that their ideology would attract Satmar Chassidim (who originated in Hungary). In any case, all agree that they are are miniscule group.

    Wiki and the JVL are incorrect. They’re what I said earlier and Satmar is distinct and unaffiliated with them other than an overlap of some viewpoints. Don’t make the error of assuming all or even most opponents of zionism are Satmar.

    I didn’t say anything about what they mean. I just said if they’re chasidish or litvish. What does “mean well” mean when they endorse murderers?

    Lapid, Bennett, and Lipman cause actual damage with the laws they pass with their legislative votes and advocacy. What actual damage do those clowns do other than looking like buffoons?

    I had an interesting thought over Shabbat about the 3 oaths and Islam:

    I am not an expert on Islamic law, but it seems that the Muslims believe that Israel belongs to Islam because they had sovereignty over it throughout the Middle Ages. Even though Britain had legal ownership over the land, the Muslims did not accept that as ownership, and the Arab League rejected the plan to give Israel to the Jews.

    Therefore, the oath may still have applied in the 1940s, because we rebelled against the goyim who believed they had rights to the land, namely the Arab League in representation of Islam.

    It means they have pure intentions I know members personally and there really tzadikim even if I don’t agree with the Palestinian flags and such so I wouldn’t call them “clowns and buffoons” their general message is %100 right there methods are more debatable

    Their general message is right? That the president of Iran is right? What makes them tzaddiks? That they wear chasisidush clothing?

    It is not debatable that embracing those who would ch”v do the unspeakable to us if given the chance does not bespeak an abundance of ahavas Yisroel. These reshaim (since you don’t like the terms “clowns” or “buffoons”) are complete outcasts from Satmar.

    DY: They’re outcasts and buffoons everywhere and their thinking they’re today’s Yochanon speaking to Vesapian is clownish. But how are they reshaim? All their doing is making a spectacle. They’re best ignored, IMO. I never got why their given all the attention they get. That’s what they want, in fact.

    Reshaim are reshaim even if they’re not successful, but I dont get how you don’t seem bothered by the chillul Hashem they cause. Halevai the media wouldn’t cover them, but since they gleefully do, we need to point out that they are outcasts and do not represent our views.

    I’m with you on pointing out they’re outcasts and represent no one. I’m questioning why you’re deeming them reshaim. What are they not successful at? Of course I’m bothered by the cH. If that’s why you deem that as such, do you deem all others who commit other types of cH as such as well?

    You said, What actual damage do those clowns do other than looking like buffoons? , so I’m pointing out that they would be reshaim anyhow just for their sinas Yisroel, and that they do in fact cause actual damage, namely, chillul Hashem.

    “I am not an expert on Islamic law, but it seems that the Muslims believe that Israel belongs to Islam because they had sovereignty over it throughout the Middle Ages. …., because we rebelled against the goyim who believed they had rights to the land, namely the Arab League in representation of Islam.”

    We don’t live by sharia.

    I just learned with my son last night the Mishnah in B”M that says if a deer is on your property but is running normally, you don’t have any claim to it (unless you can catch while it’s still on your property, which is not normally the case). In this case, we don’t recognize their looking at E”Y and saying “mine” Other mishnayot in that first perek also reinforce the fact that one must be koneh something with an action and not just say “I want it therefore it’s mine.”

    No Arabs are enemies of zionists not Jews the problem us that the the two are frequently bundled together

    #1101979

    Even if you want to say that arab terror has been caused by zionism, it is too late now. At this point, the muslim world hates us period. Also in recent years muslim terror has been reaching unprecedented levels, even if this is because of israel, it is too late to simply turn it peaceful. I have seen NK protesting in East Jerusalem, and I have been verbally attacked multiple times in East Jerusalem, even though they know not all jews are zionists. They dont ask if you are a zionist before they attack you, and of you do not believe me, ask those murdered by terrorists in recent days. Ask the chossid in belgium who just got stabbed. These are the facts, do woth them what you wish

    Text of the Agreement

    Agreement Between Emir Feisal and Dr. Weizmann (relvant articles)

    3 January 1919

    Article I

    The Arab State and Palestine in all their relations and undertakings shall be controlled by the most cordial goodwill and understanding, and to this end Arab and Jewish duly accredited agents shall be established and maintained in the respective territories.

    Article II

    Immediately following the completion of the deliberations of the Peace Conference, the definite boundaries between the Arab State and Palestine shall be determined by a Commission to be agreed upon by the parties hereto.

    Article III

    In the establishment of the Constitution and Administration of Palestine, all such measures shall be adopted as will afford the fullest guarantees for carrying into effect the British Government’s Declaration of the 2nd of November, 1917.

    Article IV

    All necessary measures shall be taken to encourage and stimulate immigration of Jews into Palestine on a large scale, and as quickly as possible to settle Jewish immigrants upon the land through closer settlement and intensive cultivation of the soil. In taking such measures the Arab peasant and tenant farmers shall be protected in their rights and shall be assisted in forwarding their economic development.

    Thus we see that the Arab leadership agreed to a Jewish state in the Ottoman province of Palestine – and this was in 1919 when it included what is now Jordan. Later, the Mufti of Yerushayim ym”s caused trouble in order to gain personal power. However, opposing one group cannot be called rebellion. In any case, the vast majority of the other nations supported establising a Jewish state.

    I think the Har Habayis issue is an example of how the Zionism issue is still relevant:

    voos- are you really starting up again? I would like to give you an insight into how the people you disagree so much with view people life you:

    I grew up in that community so I see it first hand.

    They think you are close minded and that you think you are so frum but you just hate them for loving Israel.

    My opinion in this matter is completly irrelevant, I just wanted to let you know theirs. They think you don’t love them, and Im sure you think they don’t love you either. That is completly wrong. Put aside your differences and recognize they are a Jew first and foremost.

    You want to make Hashem proud, work on your Derech Eretz bein adam lechaveyro before you go and be machmir on hating Israel. And the same should go for the passionate zionists. You both take extreme approaches. You must take a balanced approach, emphasizing one mitzva at the sake of 100 others is a huge problem.
