What Does the Torah Say About the "Deal of the Century"?HaRav Avraham Yitzchok HaKohe Kook.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe
The Rebbe on talks of concessions to Rav Gershon Salamon from the "Temple Mount Faithful", Nemanei Har HaBayit. 

Rav Salamon:  "I want to ask you, Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir is about to have talks with the Arabs about Eretz Yisroel. It is important that the Rebbe tells the gov't and all Jews that it is forbidden to talk to the Arabs about Eretz Yisroel and to give territories of Eretz Yisroel to the enemies."

The Rebbe: " They promised me, and surely they will keep their promise  that of all the talks there will not be any concessions of territories. The talks are only so that the public shouldn't say that Eretz Yisroel is not interested in peace.. It doesn't mean they are right. But this is a criticism that is hard to counter especially among Jews. "

The Rebbe also says "Think good and it will be good:" 

When the then Prime Minister Yitzchak Shamir's office called the Rebbes office for a Bracha when they knew of a global attack plan of the Arabs, the Rebbe advised his Chassidim to study more Torah, give more charity, equivalent to 3 meals and say 3 more verses in Tehilim especially the last Tehilim 150 which says כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל יהּ הַלֲלוּ־יָהּ: (תהלים פרק קנ

What the Lubavitcher Rebbe said.
"Any sign of willingness to even speak about relinquishing land to our enemies is sure to encourage terrorism in Israel and abroad."

 Rabbi Moshe Goldsmith of Itamar. This is a brilliant Rabbinic analysis of when deception is permitted as a tactic in warfare, connected to the Parsha and how it relates the the Deal of the Century. A must view!

The Peace Plan is a Non-Starter
by Helen Freedman

Anita Tucker on FB
Nothing has changed.
Our Arab enemies reactions are based on their cultural values . They see every willingness on our part to compromise, to give up any part of our G-d given land as a huge weakness on our part . On weak people they trample .
That is their Arab culture.
If one is strong and show your strength you are worthy of respect . If one is weak you are worthy to be trampled upon.
The examples are endless in both directions.
In short in accepting Trump's plan, as good as it may be in some of our eyes, we should expect extreme terror and violence on part of our Arab neighbors as our willingness to give up our land is seen as weakness and therefore in their eyes we are to be trampled on .
We only progress to agreements with Arabs when we show extreme strength and are then greatly respected . Check this out in your history books .
I lived with my Arab neighbors closely for thirty years in Gush Katif in Gaza .....this was their culture on every level of relationships, towards us as well as towards each other, as well as within their family relationships .
Simple to understand.
Our accepting President Trumps plan and giving up our land is weakness in their eyes and so we are to be trampled upon.
Different cultural values and rules here!!

"...The Philistines had captured the Holy Ark and destroyed the Tabernacle at Shiloh. But the presence of the Ark in the Philistine cities brought plagues upon them.  Recognizing the hand of G-d in their suffering, the Philistines returned the Ark with a gift of tribute to G-d.  'The same will happen in future times when Israel's oppressors will recognize G-ds majesty."

The Deal of the Century: Cautious pessimism. Rabbi Pruzansky

In answer to RZA and Rabbi Pruzansky. See above links and read the comments below....

My additional comments to those praising the deal.

Bsd 

Rabbi Pruzansky,

I know that the individuals behind the Deal of the Century love Israel and the Jewish People. Their intention is to help Israel and not Chas VeChallilah the opposite.

But the following concerns are very real:

Before the Deal of the Century, in the last few weeks, they were expelling Jews on hilltops with no real explanation. Check out Nerya Zarog. Why were they doing this? They also recently arrested Jewish Settler teenagers for "Arab property damage" and denied them a lawyer using immoral administrative detention justification for denying them rights.

Naftali Bennett for all his laudable statements about the Golden opportunity to now annex Settlement in Judea and Samaria has slandered the hilltop youth in an Op Ed in the NY times in July 2015 Immediately following Duma arson. He along with the Prime Minister, President, Defense Minister, Bagatz, Shabak, MKs, Yesha Leaders and many Rabbonim are part of the problem spreading slander that there is a radical right religious Jewish Terrorism element.

These 15 communities, places like Yitzhar etc. have been the targets of malicious slander. It is almost a "given" with even respected pro Israel spokespeople,  that there exists  "extremist radical religious Jewish Terrorists" yet it has NEVER been proven with fact or evidence.  These communities will now be engulfed in the "State of Palestine ". Will they be annexed and protected?  Will the "Palestinian State tolerate a strong IDF presence which will be necessary to defend these 15 communities, or will these communities be forced to wing it and defend themselves. Will they then be accused of terror activity against their attackers when they exercise their basic human right to defend themselves?

They were promised that they will not be forced to move as part of the Deal of the Century Land Swap as they were from Gaza in the 2005 "Disengagement" (very traumatic) but will they need to move because their lives will be in constant danger surrounded by the enemy if they choose to stay? Will these 15 Communities be given the permission to have their own militia if they do choose to stay?  See David Ha'Ivri's article above.

Why we have reason to be worried about these 3% of Jews.

Let's first see how many Jews live in Judea and Samaria

463,901 Jews living in Judea and Samaria
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/275484

3% of 463,901 is almost 14,000 people...one and a half times the number of people living in Gush Katif who suffered major trauma before during and after the expulsion.

 3% of Arabs who find themselves under Israel's Sovereignty will probably rejoice.

 The Real Reason Arabs in Israel Do Not Want to Live in 'Palestine'
by Khaled Abu Toameh
February 4, 2020 
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/15516/arab-israelis-peace-plan

 Another article that supports the reality that Arab population know they are best off under Israel.

 Responding to the deal’s suggestion that Arab communities be transferred to a PA state, Israeli Arabs reject the opportunity, saying they prefer to live in Israel.
https://unitedwithisrael.org/israeli-arabs-reject-nightmare-of-living-under-palestinian-authority/?
" Indeed the situation is explained in the following video [see link], published a year ago, featuring Ramadab Dabash Muktarm a resident of the Arab neighborhood of Sur Baher in eastern Jerusalem, who said in an Al Jazeera interview that 90 percent of residents have no faith in the PA and that “we identify more with the Israeli side.”
“We want to stay with the blue [Israeli] ID card, living in east Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty,” he affirms."
So what will happen to the 3% of Jews living in the State of Palestine? What is their fate?

 Recent clashes between Settler youth and security forces are very worrisome in the sense that they are pointless unless there is a political agenda behind it.

 Will we deligitimize the Settler's first?! Chas Vechalila!!!

Itamar Ben Gvir's Betrayal.... Turning it Around by Educating and Legitimizing Rabbi Kahane Ob"m and His Teachings Based on Torah Truth

There is also the current reality,  which BEH is changing for the better,  that the left leaning Israel Supreme Court is biased against Jewish Settlers. The Arabs have well paid lawyers Funded by EU that fights to stop demolitions of Arab homes. BeTzelem, Adalah etc. are helping Israel's enemies to defend terrorists and stop demolitions of homes of Arab  Terrorists.  Jews homes are demolished merely for existing in Judea and Samaria and for no other legitimate reason.  

So what can we offer the 3% of Jews that don't fall within the Israel section of the map in the Deal of the Century?

Perhaps there is an alternative to Land swaps for these 15 beautiful Communities who will not be annexed by Israel and will not benefit from being protected under Israeli Law as their brothers and sisters in the Settlement blocs who do fall under Israel's portion of the map. 

They too are loyal Israeli citizens, they are the salt of the earth, they pay taxes and their children are combat soldiers in the IDF.  They want to stay in their beautiful homes.  These homes are magnificent on so many levels, many built with their own hands, with Love,  Blood,  Sweat and Tears. Their view is breathtaking.  These Settlers love the Land with the entire heart and soul!

Thinking out of the box. This was written in response to the Gush Katif expulsion fiasco years ago but perhaps the time is now ripe.
