Urgent Message from Professor Paul Eidelberg - Government of Israel nothing more than temporary custodian!

Bs"d

Dear Friends, amv"sh


The Moetzet Gedolei Hatorah in Israel and America,  Agudath Yisroel of America, the OU, the Young Israel and Chabad International have affiliated shuls, Yeshivot, members etc numbering in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.   In order to be worthy of  G-d's precious gift to Am Yisroel the Nation as a whole needs to express their love and desire to keep the Land and observe the commandments which is a prerequisite for peace and prosperity.  As a first step we need the Land in order to observe the commandments in the Torah to reach their highest level of observance.  Many commandments are dependant on the Land.

We call upon these Torah  organizations as well to mobilize their communities to make a Kiddush Hashem and show that indeed our desire is Lishmoa, Lilmod, Ulelamed, Lishmor, Velaasot, Ulekayeim es kol Divrei Talmud Toratech Beahava.. To Listen, Learn, Teach, Keep, Do and Observe the entire words of the teachings of our Torah with Love.  It can not be merely lip service or sitting and learning.  We need the Land of Israel in order to do and to observe (Laasot and Lekayeim).

An Urgent Message from Professor Paul Eidelberg

President, Foundation for Constitutional Democracy 

I urge all thoughtful and responsible Jewish and Zionist organizations in America—especially the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI)—to issue a joint statement addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Land of Israel belongs, by Divine law, to the Jewish people; hence, that the Government of Israel is nothing more than the temporary custodian of this sacred land.   

Further,  

Whereas Israel is a proven strategic asset of the United States, having supplied the Pentagon with intelligence and technological assistance far exceeding in monetary value U.S. military and economic aid to Israel; and 

Whereas politically impartial American military experts, including former U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, have affirmed that Israel must retain for its security the Judean and Samarian highlands, the Jordan Rift, and the Golan Heights,  

Therefore, 

Jewish and Zionist organizations should urge Mr. Netanyahu to resist the reckless territorial withdrawals demanded by the Obama Administration—withdrawals that would bring Israel back to its pre-1967 Auschwitz lines.   

Moreover: Jewish and Zionist organizations should accuse the Obama Administration of  pursuing a policy that would result in the ethnic cleansing of 300,000 Jews from Judea and Samaria—a racist policy reminiscent of Nazi Germany.  

Furthermore: instead of merely reacting to deadly peace plans foreign powers propose on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Israel's Government should publish its own demands, such as: 

1. The PA must publicly renounce those provisions of its constitution that call for Israel's destruction—which provisions violate international law concerning genocide. 
2. The PA must publicly recognize Israel as a Jewish state as do other countries like the United States of America. 
3. The PA, in accordance with international law, must dismantle its terrorist infrastructure.

 

Therefore, Jewish and Zionist organizations should insist that the Government of the United States curtail all economic and military aid to the Palestinian Authority so long as it fails to fulfill its obligations under international law as mentioned.   

Finally, by rewarding the PA, the Government of the United States itself stands in violation of international law, and it is the duty of Jewish and Zionist organizations in America to call their government to account in this matter.  The rule of law demands nothing less.
