Shmuel Koenig on Current Misconception About the Nature of the Jewish State

bs"d

I want to correct a current misconception about the nature of the Jewish state.

It is fashionable nowadays to say that Israel is a racist state.

Race has nothing to do with having a Jewish state.

Hashem has created the world and given the Land of Israel to the nation that observes Torah. We fulfill the destiny of the Land of Israel by keeping the Torah in that land.

 

Our rights to Eretz Yisrael are not derived from Theodore Herzl or from a need for security or democracy. Our rights are based on the Torah.

 

As the famous commentator on the Torah, Rashi states in commenting about the first verse in the Torah.

 

"IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH" that should someone come and claim that we stole the land, we should reply to them that God created the heaven and the earth and gave the Land of Israel to whom he chose (the children of Israel).

 

Anyone from any race can join us in observing Torah.
