    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.

    If I remember correctly, 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
    would cause 8 million Jews to SIN with Chillul HaShem.

    Sefer Pele Yoetz is a classic Mussar sefer.

    Sefer Pele Yoetz, Perek Catav, teaches that
    every Jew must learn how to read and write;
    and not only Lashon HaKodesh [Hebrew],
    but also the language of the land that he lives in.

    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.

    On 2025 May 4, I wrote this comment in this discussion:

    The so-called “peaceful” dismantlement of the State of Israel
    would soon result in the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION of:

    [1] Every synagogue in Eretz Yisrael.
    [2] Every yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael.
    [3] Every mikvah in Eretz Yisrael.
    [4] Every stone in the Kotel.

    The anti-Zionists have NO RESPONSE to this truth.

    On 2025 May 4, I wrote this comment in this discussion
    in which I mentioned that the “peaceful” dismantlement
    of the State of Israel would result in 8 million Jewish refugees,
    with no country willing to accept that many Jews and
    no combination of countries willing to accept that many Jews.

    The anti-Zionists have NO RESPONSE to this truth.

    The anti-Zionists want Muslims to COMPLETELY DESTROY
    every Jewish holy place in Eretz Yisrael and make
    every Jew in Eretz Yisrael into a literal homeless person.

    In addition to being a gigantic act of cruelty,
    this would also be a gigantic Chillul HaShem.

    That is their idea for the “peaceful” dismantlement of the State of Israel.

    Any person who advocates for the dismantlement of Israel,
    he is a Jew-hater and a RODAIF and a MOSAIR, and he should
    be treated like a Jew-hater and RODAIF and a MOSAIR.

    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”…

    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,

    “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

    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.

    HaKatan:

    Your anti-Zionism is always funny,
    but this one might be my favorite:

    “Zionism is an extremely strong force of assimilation.”

    This is the exact opposite of the truth

    Zionism, as evil as you think it is,
    is the strongest antidote to assimilation.

    Intermarriage without Zionism, eg in America, is over 50% .
    In Israel it is negligible.

    In Israel, as you may know, all can read and write Hebrew,
    making it much easier to come back.

    CONCLUSION:

    HaKatan wants to “dismantle” the one country in the world
    that has the lowest rate of intermarriage: ISRAEL.

    “Had the Zionists not invaded, the entire area would have remained peaceful,
    and Jews would have been able to continue to live in not only Palestine

    than they already were living, as the world “modernized.”

    MY RESPONSE:

    If you are not a Navi [prophet], then you cannot know
    what would have happened. You can only guess.

    Additionally, the Middle East was not “peaceful”
    because the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Middle East,
    was at war during World War I and other wars.

    Additionally, Jews in Muslim lands were often
    persecuted and killed, even before Zionism.

    Even when Jews in Muslim lands were not persecuted,
    they were never legally equal to Muslims.

    __________________________________________________________________
    Duvidf was correct when he said:

    “…observant Jews on one level or another bought into
    Satmar ideology that wipes the Mitzvos of conquering
    and settling Eretz Yisroel out of the Torah.”

    And that comment helps to explain why Religious Zionism
    is the true Derech HaTorah, that was received by
    Moshe Rabbeinu on Mount Sinai and taught
    to his loyal student, Yehoshua HaNavi.

    What would be the best way to peacefully dismantle the Neturei Karta?

    Place them all in permanent cherem?

    Ban them from entering all Orthodox synagogues and Jewish organizations?

    Ban them from entering Eretz Yisrael, even temporarily as tourists?

    Expel all of them from Eretz Yisrael, permanently, forever?

    Throw all of them in Israeli prisons, with no parole, until they all die?

    Send all of them to live in Iran?

    Have the Rabbis declare all of them to be non-Jews?

    I suggest that ALL of these ideas be implemented, as soon as possible!

    Trying to dismantle the State of Israel peacefully is like
    grabbing an ax, and using the ax to cut a lamb’s head off,
    without killing the lamb.

    Just as it is NOT possible to cut a lamb’s head off,
    without killing the lamb, it is also NOT possible
    to dismantle the State of Israel peacefully.

    This should be obvious to every person whose IQ is above 75,
    but some Jews have been brainwashed by extreme anti-Jewish hate.

    UJM and HaKatan have still not explained where 8 million
    Jewish refugees are supposed to go to,
    after they dismantle the State of Israel “peacefully”.

    I cannot think of any country or any combination of countries
    that would accept even half that number of Jewish refugees,
    or even half-of-half-of-half that number of Jewish refugees.

    DaMoshe said this on 2025 May 4 in the YWN Coffee Room:

    “It should be noted that the Ponevezher Rav did do more
    than just raise the flag – he also had the yeshiva omit Tachanun.

    It was only after he passed away that this changed. R’ Shach zt”l

    For HaKatan:

    I do not hold by the Satmar Rav and I do not care what he said.

    He was one of the most over-rated Jewish leaders of all time,
    an insignificant person whose entire community is based
    on total isolation from world — not only isolation from non-Jews,
    but also total isolation from all Jews who are not Satmar.

    Satmar is not a valid shita; it is an extremely severe mental illness,
    and the Satmar Rav does not deserve any praise for being their leader.

    Half of Satmar is permanently on welfare, and don’t get me started with
    true stories about Satmar chassidim behaving worse than animals.

    Yeshivas Ponevezh on Thursday upheld its mesorah of
    hanging an Israeli flag on the yeshivah’s roof on Yom Ha’atzmaut.

    The minhag began after the establishment of the state
    at the instructions of the Ponevezher Rav,
    HaGaon HaRav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, z’tl,
    to fly the flag on the roof of the yeshivah for eight hours.

    Since then, the flag is hung from the yeshivah’s roof
    every year on Yom Ha’atzmaut from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

    Apart from the flag, there is no indication of Yom Ha’atzmaut at
    the yeshivah, with tefillos, shiurim, and sedarim taking place as usual.

    or they do not know enough to be considered “heretical”.

    Without these so-called “evil men who became soldiers”,
    all of the Yeshivahs in Israel would be destroyed,
    and all of their teachers and students would be brutally murdered.

    You should have gratitude to the people who protect your lives:
    The soldiers of the Israeli Army. Thank them. Praise them.

    If the State of Israel were dismantled, there are two possibilities:

    Either the Jews remain in the land of Israel OR they leave the land of Israel.

    If the Jews remain in the land of Israel, without the Israeli Army to protect them,
    they would all be killed, slaughtered, annihilated, murdered and massacred.

    Some of the surviving women and children would become SLAVES to Muslims.
    This has actually happened before, so what I say is historical, not merely theoretical.

    If the Jews would leave the land of Israel, then approximately
    8 million Jews will become homeless refugees.
    Which countries will accept approximately 8 million Jewish refugees?

    I cannot think of any country or any combination of countries
    that would accept even half that number of Jewish refugees,
    or even half-of-half that number of Jewish refugees.

    If millions of Jews were massacred, the nations of the world
    would interpret that as G*D abandoning the Jewish people,
    which would be a very great Chillul HaShem,
    which would cause even more persecution against Jews.

    If millions of Jews became homeless refugees, the nations of the world
    would interpret that as G*D abandoning the Jewish people,
    which would be a very great Chillul HaShem,
    which would cause even more persecution against Jews.

    Last but not least, dismantling the State of Israel,
    even “peacefully”, is the fantasy of every neo-Nazi,
    radical anti-Semite and fanatical Jew-hater.

    The fact that UJM agrees with millions of neo-Nazis,
    radical anti-Semites and fanatical Jew-haters
    SHOULD be a very big warning that he is pointed
    in the WRONG direction; but just as radical anti-Semites
    and fanatical Jew-haters refuse to listen to logic,
    the Chareidi anti-Zionists also refuse to listen to logic.

    The Chareidi anti-Zionists will eventually go to the
    same place in Gehinom as the millions of neo-Nazis,
    radical anti-Semites and fanatical Jew-haters.
    They will be neighbors and roommates in Gehinom.

    PS: The so-called “peaceful” dismantlement of the State of Israel
    would soon result in the complete destruction of:
    [1] Every synagogue in Eretz Yisrael.
    [2] Every yeshivah in Eretz Yisrael.
    [3] Every mikvah in Eretz Yisrael.
    [4] Every stone in the Kotel.

    Most of those soldiers who died were NEVER religious and NEVER Shomer Shabbat.

    Yet Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach CRIED
    when they heard that “OUR soldiers” had been killed.

    Notice that Rabbi Paysach J. Krohn refers to them as “OUR soldiers”,
    even though they were never religious, and even though they were never
    Shomer Shabbat, and even though they took orders from
    Secular/Chiloni commanders and a Secular Jewish State.

    Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and Rabbi Leizer Shach CRIED
    when they heard that “OUR soldiers” had been killed.

    Approximately 10% to 20% of Jews are Orthodox and Shomer-Shabbat.

    Other Jews are intermarrying with non-Jews at a rate much higher than 50%.

    Hundreds of thousands of Jews have converted to the religions of the Gentiles.

    Even among Orthodox Jews, there are HUGE amounts of Lashon HaRa being spoken.

    When people hear Lashon HaRa, the result that occurs most often is that
    the listeners immediately accept the Lashon HaRa as being 100% true,
    even without the smallest amount of evidence,
    and even when the person who started the rumor is stupid and wicked.

    There are more problems, but I want to limit the length of this comment,
