    I have an even better idea: LISTEN TO THE TORAH!!

    THE TORAH commands us Jews to destroy Amalek 100%,
    so that not even one of them remains alive.

    Hamas is the Amalek of our generation.

    Hamas hates Jews even more than the Amalekites
    who lived in the time of Moshe Rabbeinu ZTL ZYA.

    In the 1990s (or maybe the early 2000s), I used facts and logic
    to persuade a Chabad person that Rabbi Schneerson
    was NOT the Melech HaMashiach.

    This Chabad person was one of the worst meshichists;
    he was a missionary for meshichism and an Elokist.
    His email address was [email protected].

    Persuading him to abandon meshichism and Chabad,
    while remaining an observant Jew,
    was one of my greatest accomplishments —
    not just for that year, but for my entire lifetime.

    MY RESPONSE:

    Yaakov Yosef A, I acknowledge the factual correctness of your comment.

    But with all due respect, sir, and with no offense intended, you missed the point.

    The Neturei Karta [Neturei Kapos] are few in number, just like you said.

    BUT, they are constantly being given big publicity in: newspapers,
    magazines, television news, Youtube, and social media web sites.

    In the end, what matters is not how many members they have.

    What matters is the hundreds of millions of people who see them every year.
    What matters is the billions of people who see them every year.

    Do you understand the point that I am trying to make? Thank you.

    Over the past 40 years, thousands of young people
    in New York City whose parents were Orthodox Jews
    have gone “Off-The_Derech”.

    NONE of those young people were ever in the Israeli Army,
    yet somehow, they managed to go “Off-The_Derech”.

    QUESTION:

    Rabbi Moshe Sherer (born 1921 CE, died 1998 CE) was the President of Agudath Israel.

    What did Rabbi Moshe Sherer ZTL ZYA say about the modern State of Israel?

    __________________________________________
    ANSWER:

    Rabbi Moshe Sherer ZTL ZYA said these
    statements about the modern State of Israel:

    __________________________________________
    from the ArtScroll History Series biography
    of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 13, page 321:

    “He [Rabbi Moshe Sherer] assured [Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin…
    that he could always count on Agudath Israel of America
    to be strongly supportive of Israel’s security needs.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 1st quote of 4, which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!

    NOTE: This conversation occurred in, or close to, year 1975 CE.
    Yitzhak Rabin was Prime Minister from June 1974 to June 1977 CE.
    __________________________________________
    from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
    of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 15, page 356:

    “Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer responded at length.
    He pointed out that the opposition to religious umbrella groups
    did not preclude Jews joining together on issues as
    Israel’s security or combating anti-Semitism.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 2nd quote which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!
    __________________________________________
    from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
    of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 545:

    “Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer’s summary of a confidential
    June 17, 1970 [CE] meeting with Israel’s
    Ambassador to Washington Yitzchak Rabin
    reflects his lifelong approach to Israel’s security needs.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 3rd quote which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel
    was a Secular Zionist state with Secular Zionist leaders!
    __________________________________________
    from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
    of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 546:

    The offer of political support Rabbi Sherer made
    to Yitzchak Rabin was one he would repeat
    on many occasions to Israeli leaders.

    In a 1981 [CE] letter to Israeli Ambassador Ephraim Efron,
    for instance, he described Agudath Israel’s grassroots
    constituency as a “reservoir of manpower which is
    totally committed to the safety and security of Israel.”

    PERSONAL COMMENT:
    This is the 4th quote which proves that Rabbi Moshe Sherer
    was deeply committed to Israel’s security, even though Israel

    I stopped caring about Chabad, when they decided
    that a certain Rabbi who died in 1994 CE
    is [allegedly] the Melech HaMashiach.

    What bothers me the most about this tragic situation
    is NOT that they made a mistake.
    On the contrary, ALL people make mistakes.

    What bothers me the most about this tragic situation
    is that THEY REFUSE TO STOP,
    because THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN TO STOP.

    What bothers me the most about this tragic situation
    is that THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN,
    even though many intelligent people tried to correct their mistake.

    What bothers me the most about this tragic situation
    is the many thousands of Useful Idiots,
    who always defend Chabad, because they
    do not understand that it is possible to
    appreciate Chabad’s chesed, while at the same time,
    objecting to their false Melech HaMashiach.

    Reb Yaakov [Kamenetsky] felt that but for
    the creation of the State in 1948 [CE] a million Jews
    would have become assimilated as a result of
    the despair that followed the Holocaust and
    attributed the renascence [rebirth] of Soviet Jewry
    to the miraculous Israeli military victory in 1967.

    If only the Israeli government had also recognized
    Hashem’s miraculous deliverance in 1967 [CE],
    he added, history would have been changed.

    .…

    Similarly, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky] concluded, recognition of
    Israel’s role in preventing millions of Jews
    from losing any connection to the Jewish people

    must mitigate our kana’us, even as
    our love for our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisrael

    MY RESPONSE:

    I once learned that if a Jew speaks negatively about another Jew,
    and ONLY Jews are listening, then this is Lashon HaRa.

    But if a Jew speaks negatively about other Jews,
    and non-Jews are also listening,
    then that is also CHILLUL HASHEM,
    because non-Jews are listening.

    If I really wanted to, I could probably find the source for that.
    But 3 years in this YWN Coffee Room have proven many times,
    that it would not help anyway,
    so I will not make the effort to find that source.

    This is important, because when Rabbi Ahron Cohen
    speaks to “various countries” about the evils of “The Zionists”,
    that is both Lashon HaRa, and also CHILLUL HASHEM,
    because non-Jews are listening.

    Last but not least, Rabbi Ahron Cohen’s “solidarity with
    those who oppose Zionism” is really solidarity with
    terrorist murderers who have already murdered
    Jewish children and babies, and work every day to achieve
    their ultimate goal of committing GENOCIDE against 100% of Jews,
    thereby making the entire Planet Earth both Judenfrei and Judenrein.

    “Rav Shach and the Divrei Yoel cried over the deaths of IDF soldiers,
    though they did not know them personally. Likewise, the gedolim
    always felt the pain of the yesomim and almonos and all of Klal Yisroel
    caused by the wars (case and point Rav Koledetsky shlita during the recent war).

    Assuming you aren’t paid by the Ayatollah or Neturei Karta,
    why have you guys never expressed any sympathy for anyone
    or any regret at any point over nearly 1,000 soldiers killed over the past 2 years?

    Having read many of your posts on many boards, I am convinced
    that you are either paid to write what you do by parties outside
    of Yiddishkeit and/or spend little time learning Torah
    as all of your sources are stories and quotes

    Over the past 3 years, I cannot remember even ** ONE ** time

    You already know that Neturei Karta is comprised of sick individuals
    who openly support and advocate for the GENOCIDE of their
    Jewish brothers and sister – and are too dumb to realize they would be next.

    You also already know that in their lust for the spilling of Jewish blood,
    they willingly make themselves token Jews at pro-Hamas baby killer rallies
    –– including being Mechalel Shabbos B’farhesya
    on numerous occasions to participate in them.

    But did you know that they are also open Kofrim against the Torah?

    Just watch and listen to what this scramble-brained Neturei Karta
    member at a demonstration in London tells a pro-Palestinian
    interviewer who asks what he would tell people
    who say that Israel is a land promised to the Jews by God.

    “This is a total lie,” he says.
    “There is no promised land at all.”

    No promised land? Here’s a short collection of Pesukim
    where it says that Israel is, in fact, a promised land –
    and why it’s called “Eretz Yisroel” in the first place:

    רְאֵ֛ה נָתַ֥תִּי לִפְנֵיכֶ֖ם אֶת־הָאָ֑רֶץ בֹּ֚אוּ וּרְשׁ֣וּ אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִשְׁבַּ֣ע יְ֠הֹוָ֠ה לַֽאֲבֹ֨תֵיכֶ֜ם לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם לְיִצְחָ֤ק וּלְיַֽעֲקֹב֙ לָתֵ֣ת לָהֶ֔ם וּלְזַרְעָ֖ם אַחֲרֵיהֶֽם
    כי את כל-הארץ אשר אתה רואה לך אתננה ולזרעך עד- עולם” [בראשית י”ג,י”ד-ט”ז]

    וביום ההוא כרת ה’ את אברם ברית לאמור: לזרעך נתתי את- הארץ הזאת מנהר מצרים ועד הנהר הגדול נהר-פרת…” [שם ט”ו ,י”ח-כ”א]
    כי אב המון גויים נתתיך..והקימותי את- בריתי ביני ובינך ובין זרעך אחריך לדורותם לברית עולם להיות לך לאלוקים ולזרעך אחריך:ונתתי לך ולזרעך אחריך את ארץ מגוריך את-כל—ארץ כנען לאחוזת עולם והייתי להם לאלוקים”
    [שם “ז,א-ט]

    ואת הארץ אשר נתתי לאברהם וליצחק לך אתננה ולזרעך אחריך את- הארץ

    Their repudiation of the Torah’s open statements raises an obvious question:
    They call themselves Neturei Karta (Guardians of the City).
    Which city exactly are they guardians of?
    If Israel is not the Promised Land, then presumably it’s not Yerushalayim.
    What then could it be? Is it Tehran?

    Whether they’re Zionists or not, Jews around the world
    agree that Eretz Yisroel is the Promised Land.

    But for those masquerading as Jews while meeting with terrorists
    around the world and expressing their appreciation for them,
    it is anything but that.

    Shocking, yes, but is it surprising? Not really.

    As has been noted in previous YWN articles,
    no matter how much you despise these Neturei Karta creeps,
    you don’t despise them enough.

    This article is from YWN (Yeshiva World News) World Headquarters in NYC:

    Israel’s Interior Minister Moshe Arbel on Monday permanently revoked
    the entry visa of Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss — the twisted American spokesman
    for the fringe Neturei Karta movement — after Weiss was photographed
    meeting Iran’s foreign minister in Brazil and praising Tehran.

    Arbel, invoking rarely used emergency powers under the Law of Return,
    barred Weiss from ever setting foot in Israel, declaring he
    “will not allow anyone who acts against the State of Israel
    and identifies with its enemies to enter it.”

    Weiss, 69, traveled this week to São Paulo to participate in events
    around the BRICS summit. According to Iranian state media,
    he held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi,
    offered him flowers, and signed a memorial book for
    “martyrs of Zionist attacks on Iran.”
    Images posted online showed Weiss denouncing Israel
    to Araghchi’s face — a move Arbel called crossing “a red line.”

    Weiss has long relished the role of provocateur, championing
    Iran and other sworn enemies of the Jewish state.

    In 2006, he was filmed in Tehran at a government-sponsored
    Holocaust denial conference, and over the years has repeatedly
    praised Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian leadership while demonizing Israel.

    A resident of Monsey, New York, Weiss is
    the most visible face of Neturei Karta.
    His activities have left him ostracized by virtually every
    mainstream Orthodox Jewish body in the world.

    Israeli officials said Monday that Tehran was exploiting
    high-profile meetings with Jewish dissidents like Weiss
    to push propaganda delegitimizing Israel’s right to defend itself.

    “The message is clear,” Arbel said.
    “There will be zero tolerance for Jewish collaborators
    who embrace those who seek Israel’s destruction.”

    QUESTION:

    What did Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA say about the modern State of Israel?

    __________________________________________
    ANSWER:

    Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky ZTL ZYA said this about the modern State of Israel:

    The State of Israel was one example he gave of
    the need to replace kana’us with a more balanced view.

    On the one hand, he fully endorsed a letter issued
    by Rabbi Elazar Schach on the eve of Agudath Israel
    entering the governing coalition in Israel in 1977 [CE],
    which called upon the religious community
    not to be carried away by enthusiasm for a state
    founded as a secular state, whose laws are secular laws,
    and whose leadership is secular.

    He had himself frequently warned those leaving for Israel,
    “Don’t lose your head at the sight of a Jewish army.”

    At the same time, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky]
    disagreed with the view of the Satmar Rebbe
    that the miraculous Israeli victory in 1967 [CE]
    was the work of the sitra achra (satanic forces):

    [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky said:]

    I deny that miracles can emanate from a destructive satanical force.
    Miracles of such magnitude can only be performed by a force for good
    .”

    Reb Yaakov [Kamenetsky] felt that but for
    the creation of the State in 1948 [CE] a million Jews
    would have become assimilated as a result of
    the despair that followed the Holocaust and
    attributed the renascence [rebirth] of Soviet Jewry
    to the miraculous Israeli military victory in 1967.

    If only the Israeli government had also recognized
    Hashem’s miraculous deliverance in 1967 [CE],
    he added, history would have been changed.

    .…

    Similarly, he [Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky] concluded, recognition of
    Israel’s role in preventing millions of Jews
    from losing any connection to the Jewish people

    must mitigate our kana’us, even as
    our love for our fellow Jews in Eretz Yisrael
    must “not blind us to [their] shortcomings.”

    PERSONAL COMMENTS:

    [1] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky never said that
    the State of Israel should be dismantled.

    [2] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky never said that
    Religious Zionists were idol-worshippers.

    [3] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the quote shown above)
    recognized that Zionism helped to PREVENT assimilation.

    [4] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the first quote shown above)
    recognized that Israel helped to PREVENT “millions of
    Jews from losing any connection to the Jewish people.”

    [5] Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky (in the second quote shown above)
    said that a carpenter in Eretz Yisrael is fulfilling the mitzvah
    of building Eretz Yisrael — even though Eretz Yisrael
    was ruled by Secular Zionists, at that time. WOW!!

    “The Chazon Ish encouraged people from overseas
    to settle in Eretz Yisrael as it is a positive commandment,
    and he felt that Yiddishkeit was more prevalent
    and easier to practice there than in the diaspora.”

    Mr. Zohran Mamdami — a very dangerous enemy of Jews —
    was recently elected mayor of New York City (Rachmana Latzlan),
    partially because of the many votes of ILLEGAL ALIENS,
    because New York City does not require Voter Identification.

    Rabbi Meir Simchah of Dvinsk, the Meshech Chochmah,
    said that The Three Oaths no longer apply because
    the nations gave us permission to return to Eretz Yisrael
    in The San Remo Conference of 25 April 1920 of The Common Era.

    Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan (ZTL ZYA) taught:

    …American Jews are also the most complacent Jews who have ever lived.

    No matter what anybody may preach, no matter what lessons
    history has taught us, we all know that “it can’t happen here.”

    SEEN IN: Faces and Facets (part I, chapter 3, page 45, article titled:
    The Saddest Day) by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, year 1993 CE,
    Moznaim Publishing Corporation, Brooklyn, New York

    Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan was an Orthodox Chareidi Rabbi
    who lived in New York City from year 1935 CE to 1983 CE.
    During his relatively short life, he wrote approximately
    60 books about Torah topics, including the English translation
    of Yalkut Meam Loez, which is around 20 hardcover volumes.

    He was also a scientist, whose name was listed in
    “THE WHO’S WHO OF AMERICAN PHYSICS”.

    PS: Rabbi Meir Kanane [ZTL ZYA HYD] also said many times that
    “American Jews are the most complacent Jews who have ever lived”.
    For mentioning this unpopular truth, he was attacked and hated.

    Some major Rabbis held that the Three Oaths are NOT in force anymore,
    including: Rabbi Chaim Vital, Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, and Rabbi Shlomo Kluger.

    Even if they were in force, in 1948 CE, there were many Rabbis who held
    that they were not violated, because the League of Nations and
    the United Nations Organization both voted to establish a Jewish state,
    in 1920 CE and 1948 CE, so the State of Israel was NOT established by force.

    Also, the oath not to go to Eretz Yisrael in large numbers requires
    more than half the Jews in the world —- this is the opinion of
    the Shittah Mekubetzes, the Maharal, and Rabbi Yonasan Eybshitz.

    The Torah Temimah held that it only refers to when people
    are forced to move to Eretz Yisrael, not when they do so voluntarily.

    So do not falsely claim that ALL Rabbis held that they are in effect,
    or that Israel violated them.

    PS: Rabbi Chaim Vital says clearly in Shaar Hakdamos that
    The Three Oaths only applied for 1,000 years.

    Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

    “Critics of Israel who generally take no interest in human rights or civil liberties…
    have some explaining to do as to why they single out Israel for special condemnation.

    The same, of course, is true of nations with abominable records on human rights,
    who lecture and hector Israel on its lack of perfection in those areas.”
