July 3, 2025 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm in reply to: The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel” #2421309SQUARE_ROOTParticipant
Several weeks ago, one of the fanatical anti-Zionists
who often comments in this Coffee Room suggested
that the State of Israel could be dismantled peacefully,
because the former Soviet Union (USSR) was dismantled peacefully.The former Soviet Union (USSR) was VERY DIFFERENT from Israel.
The former Soviet Union (USSR) was NOT surrounded by
hundreds of millions of fanatical bloodthirsty terrorists
whose religious beliefs required them to KILL as many Russians as possible.The Soviet Union was NOT surrounded by hundreds of millions
of brainwashed death-cult terrorists whose religious beliefs
required them to commit genocide by killing ALL Russians.In others words, the former Soviet Union (USSR) could be
dismantled peacefully, because they were NOT surrounded
by countless millions of relentless bloodthirsty terrorist enemies,
like Israel is.Peaceful dismantlement is NOT POSSIBLE for Israel, because
of the hundreds of millions of fanatical bloodthirsty terrorists
whose religious beliefs required them to KILL as many Jews as possible.Peaceful dismantlement is NOT POSSIBLE for Israel,
because of the hundreds of millions of brainwashed
death-cult terrorists whose religion requires them
to commit genocide against Jews by killing ALL Jews.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantEvery member of the Neturei Karta is an ALLY of Hamas.

The meraglim in the time of Moshe Rabbeinu were the original anti-Zionists.
If the meraglim were alive today, they would be the Neturei Karta,
and the Jews of the anti-Zionist yeshivahs.Yehoshua and Calev were Religious Zionists; they wanted to enter Eretz Yisrael,
even if it meant fighting battles that would take them away from full-time Torah study.SQUARE_ROOTParticipantWhen Joe Biden was President, the USA government
gave tens of millions of dollars to THE NEW YORK TIMES.In August 2024, the USA government gave $4.1 millions dollars
to THE NEW YORK TIMES, and that was one of many payments.All of this money came from the unfortunate taxpayers,
without their consent and without their knowledge.So now we know why the newspapers were always
so eager to attack the Republicans and cover-up
for the Democrats and defend the Democrats.So now we know why the newspapers always
tell lies and falsehoods to defend the Democrats.June 30, 2025 8:46 pm at 8:46 pm in reply to: The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel” #2419947SQUARE_ROOTParticipantYankel Berel:

who wanted to fight to conquer Eretz Yisrael.The Chareidim are like the meraglim, who wanted to avoid

[The following rules apply] when gentiles lay siege to Jewish cities:
If their intent was financial gain, then Shabbat laws should not
be violated because of them, nor are we allowed to wage war against them.If a city is located near the border, however,
we should march against them with weapons and wage war against them,
even when they are [merely] demanding hay or straw.In any location, if the gentiles’ intent was [to harm] Jewish lives,
or if they engaged in battle with a city or laid siege to it,
without stating a specific intention, we must wage war against them
and the Shabbat laws should be violated because of them.It is a mitzvah for every member of the Jewish people
who can come [to their assistance] to go out and help their brothers
who are under siege and save them from the gentiles [even on] Shabbat.
It is forbidden to delay until after Shabbat.After they [the Jewish soldiers] saved their brothers,
they [the Jewish soldiers] may return home with their weapons
[even] on Shabbat, so that a dangerous situation will not be created in the future.June 30, 2025 9:22 am at 9:22 am in reply to: The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel” #2419593SQUARE_ROOTParticipantShulchan Aruch, chelek Orach Chaim, Siman 329, Sif 6:

באו על עסק נפשות ואפי’ סתם יוצאים עליהם בכלי זיין ומחללים עליהם את השבת
ובעיר הסמוכה לספר אפילו לא באו אלא על עסקי תבן וקש מחללין עליהם את השבת
הגה ואפילו לא באו עדיין אלא רוצים לבא [א”ז]:(6) Regarding non-Jews who besiege Jewish cities:
If they come for money, we do not desecrate the Shabbat [to protect ourselves],
but if they came to kill or come with no presented reason,
we go out with weapons and desecrate the Shabbat.In a city that is near the border, even if they just come for straw or hay,
we desecrate the Shabbat.Rem”a: Even if they haven’t come but they want to come (Or Zarua).

that fanatical anti-Zionists like HaKatan, UJM and SomeJewIKnow
ignore logic and facts that they cannot refute.They are totally stubborn and brainwashed, and they cannot be
reasoned with. We cannot ignore the possibility that they are
being paid by Iran or Hamas or Hezbollah, to constantly attack Israel.They also tell many lies: lies against Israel, lies against secular Zionists,
lies against religious Zionists, and lies against people who disagree with them.HaKatan, UJM and SomeJewIKnow are not merely Baalei Lashon HaRa;
they are Baalei Motzi Shem Ra, and they did it many times.___________________________________________________________________
Anyone who wants to take possessions from one Jew,

The Wikipedia article about Rabbi Moshe Sherer says this exactly:“Throughout his career Rabbi [Moshe] Sherer strongly
supported the State of Israel and advocated on its behalf.”In 1975 [CE], after the infamous “Zionism is Racism” United Nations resolution,
[Rabbi Moshe] Sherer, then-President of Agudath Israel of America, wrote that:“Though the resolution was supposedly aimed only at secular ‘Zionism’…
the slander is an attack on the entire Jewish people.”Even if the hatred was aimed only at certain Jews, he continued,
“we (Agudath Israel adherents) would feel precisely
the same responsibility to come to the defense of our brethren.He also said:
While we may have our own quarrel with secular Zionism,
when Jews are libeled, their affiliation does not matter;
our love for our brothers and sisters draws us to their side.”But what is more, he stressed,
“the U. N. resolution is aimed at ALL Jews,
for it assails the historical Jewish right to Eretz Yisrael.
The Torah bestowed that right, and any attack on it
is an attack on Judaism and the Jewish people.”__________________________________________
PERSONAL COMMENTS:This short quote shows that Rabbi Moshe Sherer ZTL ZYA
considered a non-Jewish attack against “secular Zionism”
to be an “attack on the entire Jewish people”.He also referred to Secular Zionists as “our brothers”,
for whom we have “love”.He also mentioned “the historical Jewish right to Eretz Yisrael”,
and “The Torah bestowed that right.”
This comment strongly implies that he rejected the belief
that “The Three Oaths” are binding in our times.June 23, 2025 7:07 am at 7:07 am in reply to: Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky and the modern State of Israel #2416401SQUARE_ROOTParticipantfrom from the ArtScroll History Series biography

Let me get this straight.
Anyone who disagrees with you is guilty
of “kefira” and trying to “destroy yiddishkeit”?If the Rabbis of the Talmud had taken that
attitude towards each other, then the Talmud
never could have been written!You, and the other anti-Zionists, are very eager
to accuse people who disagree with you of
major sins like “kefira” and “destroying yiddishkeit”
and worshiping idols, yet you seem to not understand
that big accusations require big proof and big evidence,You are much too eager to accuse people who disagree
with you of committing major sins with little or no evidence.If I wanted to, I could bring many proofs that the
anti-Zionists are guilty of kefira.But unlike you, i am not eager to accuse people
who disagree with me of kefira or idol-worship.Constantly accusing those who disagrees with you
of major sins like “kefira” and “destroying yiddishkeit”
and worshiping idols, will not lead to teshuvah;
it will lead to a Jewish Civil War, with Jews
shooting at each other and killing each other.I know that you will NEVER LISTEN to anything I say,
but I had to try, so I can tell the Beth Din Shel Maalah that:“I tried to warn them, but they refused to listen.”
Sincerely,

“I left the Democratic Party because
it is lead by an elitist cabal of woke warmongers.They are driven by an insatiable greed for power,
and they are willing to do whatever they deem as necessary,
even the destruction of our freedom,
to get what they want, and to stay in power.This is the challenge and the threat behind those
who are abusing their power in more brazen ways

Igros Rabbi Chaim Ozer, where he supports
the creation of the State of Israel?I thank you in advance.

“It also affirmed the halachic reality of the Oaths.”
==============================================
MY RESPONSE:The Three Oaths are never mentioned in the Rambam’s Mishnah Torah
or Rabbi Yosef Caro’s Shulchan Aruch, because they are NOT HALACHIC.The Three Oaths are never mentioned in ANY classic Halachah sefer,
because they are NOT HALACHIC.This fact has been repeated many times in this Coffee Room.
==============================================
Rambam [Maimonides] in his Epistle to Yemen specifically
states that the Three Oaths are “metaphorical”.Rambam’s Mishneh Torah never rules that The Three Oaths are halachah.
On the contrary, Sefer HaMitzvot positive mitzvah 187 Rambam rules
that the mitzvah to eradicate the Seven Nations is binding for all time.
Meaning that Jews are obligated for all time to conquer and settle Eretz Yisrael!It appears that Ramban [Nachmanides] implicitly REJECTS
the Three Oaths as Halachically binding.
[He also ruled that aliyah is an obligation for all generations].Arizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths]
did not apply after 1,000 years of exile.
Meaning we could have come up by force to conquer Israel after that.
But we did not even do that.The 16th Century Kabbalist, Rabbi Chaim Vital expressed
the view that the Three Oaths were only binding for
the first thousand [1,000] years of Exile,
in his Introduction to Sefer Eitz Chayim.Rabbi Meir Simcha from Dvinsk (the “Ohr Sameach”) wrote that
after the Balfour Declaration in year 1917 CE and San Remo Conference
in year 1920 CE, when the powers of the world recognized
the Jewish claim to Eretz Yisrael, the “Three Oaths”
were no longer “nogeah” (applicable).
The same thing is true for Mandate for Palestine plan
approved by the League of Nations on July 24, 1922.Tzitz Eliezer went a step further: He held that since the
United Nations Organization voted to establish a Jewish Homeland,
it would be rebelling to ignore them,
and therefore we were obligated to form the State of Israel!!Rabbi Shlomo Kluger held that since Jews were severely persecuted
by the other nations, The Three Oaths were no longer binding.
He relied on the Shulchan Aruch which rules that
both sides are needed to maintain an agreement.The Three Oaths are Agadic Midrash, and therefore they are
NOT Halachically obligatory [they are not legally binding].If the Three Oaths are Halachically obligatory, then
why are they NEVER MENTIONED in Rambam, Rif, Rosh,
Shulchan Aruch or Kitzur Shulchan Aruch or Mishnah Berurah?May 31, 2025 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm in reply to: The Peaceful Dismantlement of the State of “Israel” #2405402SQUARE_ROOTParticipant19812262 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
