19812262 said:

“Just keep davening, and the the evil State of Israel will cease to exist.”

NOTE: I had to correct Mr. 19812262’s spelling of simple words.

=========================================

MY RESPONSE:

“The evil State of Israel” is the ONLY country in the world
where the percentage of Jews who intermarry
with non-Jews is less than 50%.

“The evil State of Israel” is the ONLY country in the world
where the number of Jews is actually increasing.

That is the state you call “evil”
That is the state that you want to “cease to exist”.

=========================================

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.”

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

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

=========================================

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.”

=========================================

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.”

=========================================

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.”

=========================================

from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 547:

“Such a committee of investigation would have served
as a ploy to unseat Prime Minister Menachem Begin,
for whom both the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah
of America and that of Eretz Yisrael had great respect.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:
This short quote proves that the Gedolim had
“great respect” for Israel’s Prime Minister: Mr. Menachem Begin,
even though Menachem Begin was the leader of a Secular Zionist state!

=========================================

from from the ArtScroll History Series biography
of Rabbi Moshe Sherer, chapter 22, page 547, footnote 9:

When Rabbi Porush conveyed these sentiments to Rabbi Shach,
the latter responded, “We must pray for the health of
[Prime Minister Menachem] Begin. Please phone [Menachem]
Begin immediately and tell him that I pray for him constantly.”

PERSONAL COMMENT:

This short quote proves that Rabbi Shach ZTL ZYA prayed for
Israel’s Prime Minister: Mr. Menachem Begin, “constantly”,
even though Menachem Begin was the leader of a secular Zionist state!

In a conversation with the Satmar Rav, shortly after
his talk on the U.N. declaration, Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz]
was subjected to the sharpest criticism for his “Zionist leanings.”

Later he told his family,
“I could have answered him [the Satmar Rav]
Chazal for Chazal, Midrash for Midrash,
but I did not want to incur his wrath,
for he is a great man and a tzaddik.”

He added with a twinkle, “And besides, he has a fiery temper”…

PERSONAL COMMENT:

Maybe the real reason why Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz
feared to disagree with the Satmar Rebbe about Eretz Yisrael
was to avoid getting attacked and beat-up by Satmar Chassidim?
__________________________________________
Both of these possibilities have already been mentioned
in this Coffee Room, and several times, and not by me.

Many people are not old enough to remember that
when Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ZTL ZYA was alive,
he was universally accepted as the ultimate authority in Torah,
by the Chareidim and also the Modern Orthodox / Religious Zionists.

When he died, there was no longer any Torah leader who united
both the Chareidim and the Modern Orthodox / Religious Zionists.

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan [ZTL ZYA] wrote a book titled:
“THE HANDBOOK OF JEWISH THOUGHT.”

In this book, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan explains that in
the time before the Melech HaMashiach comes,
Jews will have PARTIAL rule over the land of Israel.

This seems to agree with the Malbim on Michah,
if I understand it correctly.

When Joe Biden was President and Kamala Harris
was Vice President, American taxpayers were forced
to pay for the college tuition of 450,000 ILLEGAL ALIENS.

Many of those unfortunate taxpayers were not able
to afford college for themselves or for their children,
yet they were forced to pay for college for ILLEGAL ALIENS
who are NOT citizens and are NOT in the USA legally.

The Democrat Party has infinite mercy and generosity
for ILLEGAL ALIENS, even those who commit violent crimes,
and even for Hamas sympathizers,
who want Hamas to kill as many Jews as possible.

But the Democrat Party has ZERO mercy for the unfortunate taxpayers.

PLEASE, never vote for ANY member of the Democrat Party!!

NEVER!! NEVER!! NEVER!!

Talmud, tractate Ketuvot, page 110B:

Our Rabbis taught:

One should always dwell in the land of Israel,
even in a city that is mostly non-Jewish,
and not dwell outside of the land of Israel,
even in a city that is mostly Jewish.

Because anyone who dwells in the Land of Israel
is considered as one who has a G*D,
and anyone who dwells outside the land [of Israel]
is considered as one who has no G*D,
as it is written (Vayikra, chapter 25, verse 38):
“…TO GIVE YOU THE LAND OF CANAAN,
TO BE FOR YOU A G*D.”

But does anyone who does not dwell in the land not have a God?

Rather, it is coming to tell you that anyone who dwells
outside the land is considered as if he is worshiping idolatry.

And so by David it is written [in Tanach ]
(Shmuel Aleph, chapter 26, verse 19):
“…FOR THEY HAVE DRIVEN ME OUT TODAY FROM
BEING GATHERED IN THE INHERITANCE OF HASHEM,
SAYING: ‘GO WORSHIP OTHER GODS.’”

Now who told David to go serve other gods?

Rather, this is telling you that anyone who dwells outside
the Land of Israel is considered as if he is worshiping idolatry.
__________________________________________
PERSONAL COMMENT:

The Talmud, shown above, teaches us that living outside
the Land of Israel is considered to be similar to worshiping idols.

If the State of Israel is “peacefully” dismantled,
then millions of Jews will leave the Land of Israel,
which is considered to be similar to worshiping idolatry,
according to the Talmud in tractate Ketuvot, page 110B.

Therefore, dismantling the State of Israel, even “peacefully”,
will cause millions of Jews to *** SIN ***, by causing them
to leave the Land of Israel, without a Halachically-valid heter.

Even if leaving the Land of Israel were Halachically permitted,
[and it is not] no nation will accept even one-tenth [10%]
of 8 million [8,000,000] Jewish refugees.
There is no place for them to go to.
Which is why the State of Israel was created.

IN CONCLUSION, I therefore suggest that
the anti-Zionists completely abandon their plans
to “peacefully” dismantle the State of Israel.

as a hit piece on Israel’s Labor Party,
immediately before an election, headed by Ben Gurion,
and which Kastner was a member of.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of Hamas.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of Hezbollah.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of the Houthis.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of the Taliban.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of the Iranian Ayatollahs.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of genocidal Jew-haters.

Every member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of terrorist who kidnap and murder Jewish children.

<u>test of underlining</u>

According to Halachah, it is prohibited for a Jew to leave Eretz Yisrael,
and there are only a few valid heterim, such as parnassah or marriage.

If the State of Israel were “peacefully” dismantled, that would
cause millions of Jews to leave Eretz Yisrael, which is a sin.

David HaMelech compared leaving Eretz Yisrael to worshiping idols.

Therefore, “peacefully” dismantling the State of Israel
would cause 8 million Jews to SIN by leaving Eretz Yisrael,
which is a SIN that is comparable to worshiping idols.

If I remember correctly, Rashi’s commentary on Sefer Yechezkel
teaches that Jews living outside of Eretz Yisrael is a Chillul HaShem.

Therefore, “peacefully” dismantling the State of Israel

During the years that Joe Biden was President
and Kamala Harris was Vice President,
the government WASTED THE MONEY
of the unfortunate taxpayers on:

$10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique (an African nation).

$14 million for “social cohesion” in Mali (also an African nation).

$227,000 for Big Cat’s youtube channel.

When Joe Biden became President, he dismantled Donald Trump’s Task Force against Child Trafficking.

THE RESULT:

More than 300,000 children went missing during the 4 years that Joe Biden was President.

<u>Todah HaShem</u>

Dear A Heimisher Englisher,

I read what you said, and I have decided that I regret
my rather strong criticisms of the Satmar Rebbe
and Satmar Chassidim in general. I am sorry.

But please understand this about me:

I am sick and tired of the Neturei Karta and the radical
anti-Zionists in this Coffee Room, who constantly
use the writings of the Satmar Rebbe to make
relentless attacks against Israel, unfair attacks against Israel,
unbalanced attacks against Israel, and untrue accusations against Israel,

They really do not know when to stop, and that is a big problem.

If not for those relentless, unfair, unbalanced, untrue attacks,
I never would have said those strong criticisms of the Satmar Rebbe.

Last but not least, since you proved to me that you actually
read my comments, I am willing to take your comments seriously.

Sincerely,
SQUARE_ROOT

“On Friday, November 29, 1947, the United Nations
debated the issue of partitioning the British Mandate
for Palestine into two countries, one Arab and on Jewish.

Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] prayed fervently for partition.

He had no radio in his house, but that Friday he borrowed
one and set it to the news, leaving it on for Shabbos.

He waited with such tense anticipation to hear the outcome
of the U. N. [United Nations] vote that he did not come to shalosh seudos.

When he heard the U. N.’s decision to establish a Jewish state,
he stood up and recited the blessing HaTov VeHaMeitiv,
[He] Who is good and Who does good.

Without losing sight of the anti-religious nature of the leaders
of the yishuv in Eretz Yisrael, he nevertheless saw the creation
of a Jewish state an act of Providence and as a cause for rejoicing.

At the very least, there would now be one country in the world
whose gates would be open to the thousands of Holocaust survivors
still languishing in Displaced Persons Camps in Germany and Austria.”

Did you ever wonder what the Democrats did
when they had power IN both the house and the Senate?

Was it immigration reform? No.
Balanced budget? No.
Reduce waste fraud and abuse? No.

This is what they did:
Weaponizing the media against America, promoting lies
in order to divide our nation, and robbing us while we fight.

President Barack Hussein Obama signed HR 4310,
The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act.
Section 1078 of that law authorizes the use of propaganda
inside the USA, which had previously been banned
since 1948, when the Smith-Mundt Act was passed.

Hearing his criticisms of Zionism, someone once told him
[Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz],
“I too hate the Zionists. They should be cursed.”

“Chas v’chalilah (Heaven forbid)!”
Reb Shraga Feivel [Mendlowitz] interjected.

“To the contrary: They should be blessed, along with
all those who are building up our Holy Land.
I only pray that they observe mitzvos.

But chalilah to curse or hate them.
They are tinokos shenish’bu
(people who never received a Jewish education and so were led astray).”

This article recently appeared on the Yeshiva World News web site:

A recently published Pentagon report revealed that the Biden administration’s
failed project to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza via a floating pier
was a deeper failure than previously acknowledged.

Apart from wasting $320 million in funds and failing in its mission
to provide aid to Gaza, one soldier was killed in an operational accident
during the mission, and 61 soldiers were injured.

The pier was in place for three months but was operational for only 20 days,
during which one day’s worth of humanitarian needs were offloaded.
[It should also be noted that at the time, Gaza was not suffering from a lack of food.]

The Inspector General said that the US military was
not prepared with the proper equipment for the mission.
“Nor did they organize, train, and equip their forces
to meet common joint standards,” the report said.

A separate report from the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID) revealed that Biden administration officials ignored
multiple warnings of the operation’s pitfalls, including insufficient
preparation and training and a disregard for local environmental conditions.
