Reply To: Matzav article about Golus and Eretz Yisrael

Responding to HaKatan:

Religious Zionism is part of the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu:

Just look at the first Rashi on Chumash.

Just look at the first mitzvah that G*D gave to Avraham Avinu.

Just look at the many tractates of Mishnah that apply ONLY in Eretz Yisrael.

Just look at the 6th book of Tanach, Sefer Yehoshua.

Just look at the direction we must pray towards every day — Eretz Yisrael.

Just look at the Talmud, which teaches that
�whoever lives outside the Land of Israel,
he is considered as if he has no G*D.:

Since Religious Zionism is part of the Torah, those who
attack Religious Zionism are ignorant wicked heretics.

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

HaKatan also said that The Three Oaths are “undisputed halacha”.

Yet they are NEVER MENTIONED in Yad HaChazakah or Shulchan Aruch.

Additionally, the nations of the world approved the creation
of a Jewish state in Eretz Yisrael in 1920 CE and again in 1948 CE.
Therefore, The Three Oaths cannot apply in our times.

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

FACT: Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman died in 1941 of the Common Era.

FACT: The State of Israel was founded in year 1948 of the Common Era.

CONCLUSION: Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman NEVER SAW the State of Israel.

He never saw the miraculous victory of the 1967 CE “Six Day War”,
that started a Baal Teshuvah movement that lasted half-a-century.

He never saw the formation of religious units of the Israeli Army,
like the Nachal Chareidi and the newly-formed Chashmonaim Brigade.

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

FACT: Sefer VaYoel Moshe was written in the 1950s,
when Israel was still a Socialist state.

FACT: The State of Israel abandoned Socialism around 40 years ago.

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

HaKatan’s arguments have been refuted many times.

Yet he never changes his arguments; instead he just repeats
them endlessly, as if they has not been refuted many times.

And he never admits that people who disagree with him have valid logic.

The unrealistic policies that he advocates would certainly
lead the Jewish people towards a Jewish Civil War,
with Jews murdering Jews, followed by massive attacks
on Eretz Yisrael that would cause another Holocaust.

This makes HaKatan an apikuris and a rodaif and a mosair.
And not just once, but 8 million times, for 8 million Jews.
