I would like to know who in the Israel gov't gave the authorization on this cruel Police activity against a religious Jewish family with 6 kids ages 1-12 whose only crime is their desire to settle and live in Judea and Samaria!  This can be definitely be classified as an "intolerable act".
Don't forget to take a look at the first Ben-David's house that was valued at 350,000 NIS.  http://www.inn.co.il/News/News.aspx/198660

The only illegal activity  in this unfolding of tragic and unfortunate events are these orders to destroy people's properties in a cruel and inhumane fashion. Those that are merciful to the cruel will be cruel to the merciful. This young family with 6 kids were not a bunch of terrorists who deserve to have their home destroyed.  They are scapegoats of a political process to intimidate Torah believers who insist on the Biblical Rights to settle the Land of Israel.  It is an act against G-d and the Torah.  It is an act that is clearly racist and self destructive to the Jewish people and to the world at large!

Fatah and Abbas honors suicide bombers and terrorists. http://israelbehindthenews.com/bin/content.cgi?ID=3853&q=1

Fatah is ideologically no different than Nazi Germany who honors those that murder innocent, defenseless Jews

The Mufti of Jerusalem, the Founding Father of modern Palestine was Hitler's partner Yemach Shemam. Can one make peace with the likes of Hitler Yemach Shemo? 

Don't be deceived by Arab and/or leftist propaganda. The Palestinians find justification in engaging in an armed struggle against  Jewish occupation on this Earth not just the State of Israel!  Israel is convenient because it has Jews in a ghetto like setting with a large Jewish Population in a relatively small area.

Netanyahu must be either blind because of accepting bribes (Shochad Meaver Pikchim, bribery blinds the wise) is being blackmailed. 

These three houses are a symbol of our struggle. Even one house would be.  If we sit by passively and allow this desecration to happen without protest then it will be a green light for further destruction of many homes G-d forbid in Judea and Samaria  and in aiding the establishment of a Nazi State.

Yes I am screaming. Come on, You can scream too! I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

More Destruction of Houses in Neguhot -- Preparing to Rebuild For the Third Time

Dear Friends,

Sunday night, January 4th, at 1 a.m., police and Yassam forces entered
the community of Neguhot in the southern Hevron hills, and, like
thieves in the night, went to the "Beit Hakerem" hill and ordered the
Ben-David family to get dressed, and leave their home into the night
cold. Once again, bulldozers destroyed their house, rebuilt only a
month and a half after their original, beautiful home was destroyed.
Two other homes, built nearby in solidarity with the Ben-David's, were
also destroyed. Again, the families' household goods were scattered
along the hilltop. The houses themselves, constructed of fiberboard
panels, were turned into a muddy conglomerate.

Yehudit Ben David called us early in the morning. This is what she told us:

"At around 1:00 in the morning we heard loud knocks on the door.
"Police, open the door!!" they shouted. We opened the door and saw the
troops outside. "We came to destroy your house. Get dressed and get
out". Then they cut off the electricity and the entire house was in
the dark".Yehudit and her husband told the police that their six
children were sleeping and they needed some time to get organized and
wake up the children, etc. The policeman said: "I must come in and see
if you are not lying and really have children sleeping here". The
policeman came in with a flashlight and confirmed that there indeed
were six children sleeping there, aged one year old to 12 year old.
"Get them up and get out" he told the parents. Yehudit said: "but
there is no light. You cut off the electricity. We can't see a thing.
Can I at least get one of your flashlights? Each and every one of your
policemen have flashlights- give us one". The policeman refused.

"Somehow we managed to get the kids up" says Yehudit. "Meanwhile Arabs
who had been employed by the police , entered our house and started
taking out our possessions, simply throwing everything outside, on the
muddy floor -  the fridge, the matresses, the linens,  the books, the
clothes..." After that the bulldozer came and destroyed our house and
an additional two that belong to our neighbors.

"Luckily, on the nearby hill that is also part of Neguhot, where some
ten families live, there was an empty caravan, and we temporarily
moved in there, till we can rebuild our house on the "Bet Hakerem"
hill, for the third time. "The problem is", said Yehudit ben David,
that now the "Beit Hakerem hill" is empty and Arabs who come by foot
from their village, kilometers away, approach the hill and steal our
belongings. They grab whatever they can and walk back to their village
far away.We must find a way of priotecting the hill.

Women in Green immediately organized a group of young men to stand
guard at the hill and together we drove out to Neguhot. The scene of
the destruction was heartbreaking. Just a few days ago we had come
there to protest the fact that Arabs had thrown a molotov cocktail
against a bus, wounding an 18 year old girl. Instead of trying to
catch the Arab terrorists, Israeli security forces were busy planning
the destruction of the Ben David house.

Through the ugly stratagems of Defense Minister Barak and the
deafening silence of Prime Minister Netanyahu, the power of the state
continues to be mobilized against "enemies of the state" like the
Ben-David's and their neighbors, whose "crime" is their desire to make
their homes in the Land of Israel generally, and within the legal
boundaries of their community of Neguhot specifically.  They built
their homes in a designated new neighborhood of Neguhot to prevent
Arab squatters from expropriating their community's land, as is
happening throughout the Negev and the Galil along with Judea and
Samaria.

The spirit of these families won't be broken: they are ready to
rebuild their houses anew. We, secure for now in our nice, warm homes,
have to do our own mobilizing -- of ourselves -- to provide them with
the resources to rebuild their homes for the third time.

We call on all lovers of the Land of Israel to contribute to the
Yibane Fund, currently being established by Women In Green for
building and settlement in the hills of Judea.

While organizing the launching of this fund, the destruction in
Neguhot gave us an object lesson of the fund's purpose and necessity.

We can rebuild the houses destroyed in Neguhot within 10 to 14 days if
we can collect the funding. It will take 100,000 NIS (some $30,000)
to construct three new very basic structures.

The struggle over the future of the Land of Israel is being waged on
the hilltops of Judea and Samaria.

We, with God's help and with your help, will ignore all anti-Zionist
and anti-Jewish decrees and continue to build our Biblical homeland.

On the Case of Yesha Autonomy Part 2, Tikkun Chait Meraglim

bs"d

Lichvod Rabbanim and Chavrei Knesset, amv"sh

Please visit On the Case of Yesha Autonomy  Part 1

I am of the opinion that the purpose of our generation is  to be Metaken the Chait of the Miraglim.    It was the philosophy of the Spies in the Desert (the Miraglim) to continue in their lofty level of Ruchniyus, spirituality, living off of the Manna in the desert without entering the Land of Israel.   The concept of glorifying learning Torah without keeping the Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz seems to be in sync with the philosophy of the Miraglim in the desert.  According to this opinion, there is no need to serve in the army since learning Torah is all that is needed and Hashem will fight our battles. According to this philosophy,  Eretz Yisroel is not even necessary in order to observe Torah. It is the opinion of many Gedoilim of our generation that Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz are not obligatory but rather optional MItzvoth, Mitzvoth Reshus and not Chovah (obligatory), as has been the case for two  thousand  years. They encourage their students that going to War to defend the Land and working the Land are not necessary because Hashem will protect us and provide for us if we engage merely in Torah Study.

This seems to be the root of our problems. What follows are arguments refuting this ideology that sitting and learning Torah is sufficient and actually the preferred method of being the ultimate observant Torah Jew:

Why would Hashem give us commandments about having a Machaneh that is Kadosh if there is no need for a real army?   Why did Moshe Rabbeinu strongly rebuke the Tribes of Reuvein and Gad comparing them with the spies saying that by not going into the Land to help fight and conquer it since they were discouraging the rest of the Nation? http://www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/679195/jewish/Were-the-Tribes-of-Reuvain-and-Gad-Scared.htm 

Even if according to the Ohr Hachaim these Tribes reasoned,  that G-d will fight Israel's battles and they weren't  needed to fight, Moshe made it clear to them that they must go to fight and indeed they did go, in the front lines.

Let us look at sources from Tanach which show that this passive approach is very wrong.

At Kriat Yam Suf the miracles only happened when they jumped in.  It wasn't only Nachshon that jumped. They all jumped up till their noses.

Didn't Moshe Rabbeinu actively lead the Jews into battle with Sichon and Og as an example of what they were supposed to do in Eretz Yisroel? Surely Hashem performed miracles for them but they did their hishtadlus.

Yehoshu conquered Yericho and the Nation as a whole did their Hishtadlus even though it was quite obvious that it was miracles that defeated the enemy.

Why is  Neviim Rishonim, Yehoshua, Shoftim etc. and Neviim Achronim a series of narratives rebuking the Israelites for not conquering the Land,  and rebuking them for not destroying  the inhabitants and idols and as a result the Pelishtim gained the upper hand and was a source of much suffering.  Please reread Shirat Devorah where she was quite specific in her praise for those that helped in battle and critical of those that didn't.

True Hashem fights our battles but we must do our Hishtadlus in order to be a vessel for G-ds miracles.  This means actively going to War and observing all the Mitzvoth for the soldiers that are applicable. 

The concept of sitting and learning and not needing to work the Land seems to contradict the commandments of 6 years we work the Land and the seventh year we rest (the Sabbatical Year).  Sitting and learning seems appropriate for the Shemittah year but not for the other 6 years.   Isn't Yom Shekulo Shabbat and Gan Eden for Olam Haba after Moshiach comes and not for now? Perhaps it is appropriate for Shevet Levi or Yessachar but doesn't seem to be the way for the majority of the Jewish People. Of course there might be some exceptions. But if the entire nation is learning full time on off Shemittah years,  then how will the Nation get food? How will the Levites be supported?  How will the poor survive w/o Leket, Shikcha and Peeh? Surely, you will be the first to say that one  is not allowed to bring the Ketz prematurely. After 2,000 years we finally have Jewish Sovereignty.  That is miraculous, a dream come true as a result of decision made by the League of Nations. 

Now the Torah demands that we have a Jewish army and keep the relevant Mitzvoth and we work the Land for 6 years and keep the Mitzvoth Teluyot Baaretz.  On the Shemittah year we rest.  Isn't Sefer Devarim also known as the Mishneh Torah, Moshe's direction of how to keep Torah in the Land.  Do all the Mitzvoth we read about on Hakhel serve no real purpose as is the case when we don't work the Land?

So how can we be Metaken the Chait Hamiraglim? This can done by Rabbinic and Public Jewish leaders remembering G-d's Covenant with the Jewish People, declaring Eretz Yisroel as  our entitlement from Hashem, and proudly declare like Calev ben Yefunah and Yehoshua bin Nun "Aloh Naaleh, Veyarosh Nirash Osah Ki Yachol Nuchal la".  It requires a willingness to fight and conquer the Land, removing all the idol worship, and establishing a Torah Sovereignty that only accepts non Jews who accept a Torah Sovereignty.

As The Case of Yesha Autonomy Part I suggests Let us start a public debate about a prototype Torah State in Yehudah and Shomron.   The establishment of the State of Israel had a serious flaw.  This flaw was the rejection of Torah.  The Medina in 1948 tried to erase religion as was clear with their treatment of the Yemenite population. Over the years the Medina did build up Yeshivoth etc. The flaw was masked.  However, now, the government is acting in ways that are anti Zionist, anti Torah and  self destructive.  This flaw has now turned into a crack.

Let us unite with authentic Torah leaders who might have rejected the State because of rejection of Torah in 1948 but have still the flame of hope and desire to establish a Torah government is burning strong.  Zeh Hashem Kivinu Lo, Nagila VeNismacha Biyeshuaso,


The "Peace Process" is the Hellinization of our generation. The Hellinists believed that Torah must conform to foreign influences.  They did not reject Torah outright, they merely diluted it with foreign ideas saying that the two can live side by side in peace and harmony. .

It seems therefore that intentionally or unintentionally, the Likud gov't,  Shas and UTJ are actual partners with the Hellenists of our time. The Hellenists are clearly the Left (Labor,  etc). The Peace Process is clearly an act of annulling the Torah.  Those that claim to observe Torah while at the same time sit passively while they join with a government that accepts the concept of a Palestinian State Chas veshalom, have been part of this modern day Hellinization process and have been actively engaging in violating many Mitzvoth D'Orayta.  Al Taamod al Dam Reiaacha (allowing terrorists to be freed, roadblocks dismantled etc), Gezela (destruction of property in Neguhot not to mention the destruction of homes in Gush Katif and the Shomron. ).  The list of Biblical violations go on and on....

 Rather then ring our hands and say that there is nothing to do, we must take the cue from Yehudah Hamakabee with Mi LaHashem Eilai.

First, let all Rabbanim daven and prostrate themselves in Hebron by the Kivrei Tzadikim Avraham Yitzchok and Yaakov Avinu.

Let us call for an actualization of our Tefillot each and every day for a governing Authority based on Torah.

Let us challenge the Rabbanei Yesha  who are Anavim to take the Leadership role of Mi LaHashem Eilai and protest a Palestinian State and against an IDF that expels Jews.  I have great admiration for Rav Yinon Ilani  from Arad who stood his ground. He was not afraid to stand up to his colleagues publicly and withdraw his Yeshiva from Hesder in spite of loss of gov't stipends.

But when the Roshei Yeshivot are ambivalent and silent and there is a Chillul Hashem, then individual soldiers had no choice but to protest... Isn't it the JOB of each and every Hesder Rosh Yeshiva to PROTEST against the policies of the gov't and the IDF to enlist soldiers to expel Jews from YESHA?   

The Roshei Yeshivot should declare that Torah is above the State Law and that soldiers are forbidden according to Torah to expel Jews.  In addition all Torah observant Jews should do whatever they can to build up Yehudah and Shomron  and protest quite vociferously any destruction of any home on any settlement and the dismantling of any roadblock within Eretz Yisroel Hashelima whose boundaries are delineated in Parshat Masei.


Today on Radio 10 on 95.1 in Brooklyn NY, a Rav was speaking about the time of Moshiach.  I wish I heard who the Rav was and who he was quoting.  He quoted a source that  said in the time of Moshiach , the Nationalist camp will have a stronger  Tikkun of the Nefesh.  This camp which represents the Nefesh of Am Yisroel will desire a Zionist State and aspires for  Eretz Yisroel to be a leader among the Nations. However the Chareidi camp, those not Zionistic will have a stronger Tikkun on the Ruach  with Yirei Hashem and observing the Torah. They will be successful in bringing back Hamonei Am, multitudes of unobservant Jews back to Torah and Mitzvoth.  This indeed is the reality of our generation.

Moshiach will come and unite the 2 camps.  The Nationalist will learn from the Chareidim to observe Torah Properly with sanctity and the Chareidim will learn from the Nationalist about Jewish Pride and being Holy KIngdom among Nations.

If anyone can elaborate on these thoughts and provide sources, please email me.

On the Case of Yesha Autonomy Part 3. Will be forthcoming Beezrat Hashem

Many of these ideas were discussed with Shmuel Koenig.

Sincerely, Robin Ticker

On the case of Yesha Autonomy, Part 1. Build UP an Independent Judea and Samaria!

bs"d

Dear Knesset Members and Roshei Yeshivot, amv"'sh

Yasher Koach! 

Thank you for your letters to Netanyanu to build up Judea and Samaria.

Let me suggest a novel approach which initially might be met with resistance but upon reflection makes a lot of sense. 

I am referring to a public debate about establishing a legitimate new Yesha Autonomy, a prototype government in Judea and Samaria based on Torah.  Surely such a novel idea can not be implemented on a large scale initially. That is why, in this writers opinion, it is not practical or advisable to implement the dream of Jews for generations on the entire State when there are many afraid of this concept who will sabotage any efforts in this direction.  Many roadblocks will be encountered and it takes a motivated population to work out the bugs.

Anavim Anavim Higea Hazman Legeulascham, Veim Ein Atem Maaminim, Reu ki Ohr Zoreach.


Whether or not the State of Israel chooses to abandon the residents of Judea and Samaria and especially when it does choose to abandon them and chooses not to protect them it appears that the time has come to speak about an independent Yesha Authority that is a sister to the State of Israel. This public debate takes on an added urgency when  Fayyad's plan is embraced by the State Dept. and several European governments to unilaterally declare Palestinian independence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza and Jerusalem in 2 years (as reported by Caroline Glick).

It would be our hope and dream that this Yesha Autonomy will govern using Torah as it's guide and will have Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches as well as a militia to defend itself against all aggression be it Kassam and Yassam. That is the the basic idea and the details will need to be brainstormed and worked out by Torah Scholars, Political Theorists, Economists and those that are well researched in Hebraic Law and Mishpat Ivri.

Surely this Yesha autonomy will be a much friendlier neighbor to the State of Israel than an autonomous Palestinian Authority who wishes the destruction of the Jewish State and glorifies suicide bombers by naming their schools after Shahids.   Surely they won't make murderers of innocent Jews who happen to be Torah teachers of little children into heroes and martyrs and surely they won't condemn Israel's right to self defense.  Surely they won't create a War Zone to bombard Israel as what happened when we gave away Gush Katif.  They will simply continue to be model communities living in Judea and Samaria that live their lives based on the observance of Torah and Mitzvoth

The residents of Judea and Samaria have suffered from intolerable acts long enough!  Either they receive their full rights and entitlements as members of the Jewish faith who rightfully are living in their homeland or they separate from those that have taken measures to take away their property, their communities and their freedom to live and grow and  practice their religion in peace and security.

As Knesset members, and as Rabbinic Leaders, together with Jews from around the world we must unite to  legitimize Jewish entitlement to Judea and Samaria at any cost.  This is  for the benefit of not only the Jewish people and the Jewish State but also to the entire world.  This must happen even if it means separating from the State of Israel especially as long as the State of Israel is acting as a puppet to foreign forces and acting in a self destructive manner.

More ideas regarding this novel approach are forthcoming and all those that wish to contribute are most welcome.

This will be posted on shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com

Shabbat Shalom to those of us in Chutz LeAretz and Shavua Tov to those of us in Eretz Yisroel.

Sincerely, Robin Ticker as per discussion  with Shmuel Koenig

More on a Torah Republic in Judea and Samaria Yehudah vs. Yosef

bs"d

In light of some of the comments I have received to my former post  http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2009/12/another-letter-to-rabbanei-hesder.html
let me respond.

 Rabbi Stein commented that the Rabbanim get their money from the gov't and therefore can't respond forcefully.  David Bedein suggests a massive PR campaign to the Israeli Public to prove to them that what the gov't plans to do to Judea and Samaria will directly compromise their own security.  Chashi said that what I propose is a last resort. 

I propose an autonomous government self supported based on Torah and Mitvoth.  We need G-d on our side to help fight our battles.  Why would a fancy PR campaign convince when the dangers to all of Israel are obvious and don't convince? Everyone knows that the assault of Sderot followed the expulsion of Gush Katif. It does not take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together.

My dear friends, The fact of the matter is that we are blinded by money and by our stubbornness not to make the observance of Torah the key point.  And to Chashi I ask, shouldn't we act before our ability to act is taken from us?

Let me suggest serious deliberation about the establishment of a working prototype, a model political Torah Autonomy in Judea and Samaria. It's best to start small in order to iron out the details and fix issues that arise before it is on a large scale. It seems to me that the majority of Israeli's are not spiritually, psychologically or emotionally ready for a Torah republic.  It's revolutionary.  Let the Jews in Judea and Samaria be the first to try living a Torah Autonomy and with Hashem's help they will be a shining light for the rest of Am Yisroel in Eretz Yisroel and then model a society that is a Mamlechet Kohanim VeGoy Kadosh.

Parshat Vayigash brings the conflict of two Kings Yosef and Yehuda face to face.  According to Breishis Rabba Yehuda faces this conflict with prayer, willingness to appease Yosef but if necessary prepared to fight.  (taken from the Midrash Says Parshat Vayigash)

How appropriate is this weeks Haftorah, read Chanuka time to the current events at hand and speaks about the divide between Judea and Israel and the final redemption.  The Haftorah  from Yechezkel speaks about the unification of the tribes of Yehudah and the tribes of Yosef  under the Leadership of Moshiah.  Moshiah is  from Shevet Yehudah, the Davidic dynasty who unites the Jewish people  under Torah Law and ultimately this brings peace and prosperity to all of mankind.

Let us keep sacred in our hearts and mind the ultimate redemption and unification read in this weeks Haftorah of Parshat Vayigash from Sefer Yechezkel.

It seems to me that in order to fulfill this prophesy of Yechezkel, some rift, some divide  between Yehudah and Yosef needs to be in place in order for the unification to happen.

Now back to the present:

There needs to be a way where the gov't of Israel gets real consequences, Midah Keneged Midah.  I am not talking about Nekama.  I am talking about taking away sources of funding that they are presently receiving from those who will suffer as a result of their policies. I am also talking about hurting the IDF before they get a chance to hurt us to the point where we will be unable to defend ourselves or do anything about it except carry resentment and ill will.  If the gov't of Israel chooses to destroy homes, businesses communities and the property of their citizens who are residents of Judea and Samaria, they should not reap the benefits of these citizens taxes.  Also, since the communities in Judea and Samaria benefits the entire Israel from a security standpoint, all Israelis should  withhold tax money from the Israeli gov't in order to help support Judea and Samaria thereby defending themselves as well. Many Israeli citizens would downheartedly agree that their security would be greatly compromised with an unchecked Palistinian State and the absence of Jewish settlement. The assault on Sederot and Southern Israel after withdrawing from Gush Katif is proof. I am sure that David Bedein and the Israel Resource Center would be helpful in PR in this respect.

As the government of Israel becomes a puppet of foreign powers, and stops representing the Jewish people and the Torah, stops protecting it's tax paying citizens and as a result creates major security concerns, then Jewish Leadership must take over.

The terror attack this past week against Rabbi Meir Avshalom Chai perpetrated by released terrorists is another example of how policies of the government is endangering its citizens.

Therefore, Judea and Samaria needs to be governed autonomously.  They need a governing body based on Torah,  they need services, and a militia .  The Hesder Yeshivoth united should stop sending their boys to the IDF while they are intent on expelling Jews and instead enlist them in the Judean Authority militia governed by Torah law whose purpose is to protect Jews. Needless to say, the IDF and the Judean Militia should work hand in hand in defending Jews. Hesder  Yeshivoth should receive their funding from the Judean Authority and not the State of Israel..

If the State of Israel sees that we are serious in Judea and Samaria, they will hopefully see that they are outnumbered and stop the freeze, stop plans of expulsions and future dangerous prisoner exchanges.  If however, they choose to be stubborn about this, then we must be prepared to fight them, with Hashem and our Torah guiding us. Yisroel Betach BaHashem Ezram Umeginum Hu.  We have no alternative.  We daven, we tried to appease and we are prepared to fight a war.  (Just like Yakov Avinu in preparing with his fight with Eisav and Yehudah in Parshat Vayigash).

The recent appeasement  of the Hesder Yeshivot did not work. 

In response to Barak's stubborness to exclude Rabbi Melamed and the Yeshiva at Har Bracha, all Hesder Yeshivot must unite and say we are all Har Bracha and not Har Kelala.  We agree with and stand with Rabbi Melamed.   We will advise our sons not to join the IDF or be part of an operation that expels Jews. Furthermore, we will actively do our best to defend our G-d given entitlement to live on our Biblical Homeland and fight against Kassam or Yassam or any Mishtara that threaten us. .

As I suggested in my previous email is a Judean Autonomy whereby the residents would pay local municipal  taxes.  Israeli's, businesses and private citizens that wish to support the communities in Judea and Samaria should withhold  taxes for the gov't and instead at the very least put it in Escrow until the gov't shows that they will protect the rights of the residents in Judea and Samaria and put an end to the freeze.  If the gov't insists on the freeze, let  this money go to establishment of a Torah Republic of Judea and Samaria ir whatever it's called.  I am against using youth, women and children as our front line.  I am against massive arrests that will put us and our families at the mercy of a Barak and his henchnan.  We were naive once.  We trusted that they wouldn't harm us because we believed them to be our brothers. We know now that many weren't even Jewish. Why be stupid again? We saw how the Judicial system treated young girls who had an ideological protest.  We saw what they did to unarmed kids at Amona, Those clubs and riot horses were not child's play. 

Torah must take the leadership position.


Let us take into account that once a military operation against the Jews in Judea and Samaria by Barak and his people  is in place chas vechalila any counter move will be much harder.

All comments to these ideas are most welcome. In fact the greater the discussion on the legitimate right of the residents of Judea and Samaria to form their own Autonomy given the series of intolerable acts against them, the greater is the deterrent for the government of Israel to implement expulsions.  This will be posted  on Shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com.  Please feel free to comment there so that others can see your opinion.

Thank you for reading and Shavua Tov!

Another letter to Rabbanei Hesder Yeshivot - Response to Construction Freeze - a stronger "anti freeze' action plan

bs"d

To the Rabbanei Hesder amv"sh

Of course I can't tell you what to say. You are learned and great Torah Scholars.  I can only tell you what I would like to hear you say or what I believe is moral  legitimate and justified, upholding Torah and ultimately will bring peace among brothers.

Given the leaked plan of the IDF and the State of Israel to implement expulsion from Judea and Samaria in a manner that treats the residents of Judea and Samaria as the enemy:

Given the fact that Israel is planning on establishing a Palestinian State, hostile to the entire Land of Israel thereby endangering Jews in Israel and worldwide

Given the fact that Israel is planning on expelling Jews from their homeland, stealing their property and their source of income, thereby raising havoc with the community and the family structure...and violating many Biblical and Rabbinic commandments in the process...

I feel that there is justification to make the following declaration.

We stand as one together with our colleague Rabbi Melamed and the Yeshiva at Har Bracha in teaching and instructing with our students, soldiers of the IDF not to participate in evicting Jews from their homes. We are Har Bracha....(as Rav Waldman declared..). We oppose the establishment of a Palestinian State and the expulsion of Jews from our Biblical Homeland.

We oppose releasing terrorists in a prison exchange. We support operations like Entebbe.

* We hereby declare Judea and Samaria as an autonomous entity, named for our purposes the Yesha Authority, separate and distinct from the existing State of Israel but still brothers and sisters under the same family whose roots stem from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob also known as Bnei Yisroel.

The Yesha Authority will exercise its rights to self defense against Kassam and Yassam. It will be governed by Torah Law with a Legislative, Judicial and Executive branches of government based on Torath Yisroel and will have an active set of Shoftim, Dayanimin and  militia as well.  It will not act aggressively against their brothers of sisters in the State of Israel unless acting in self defense and in protection or defending our entitlement to live and settle on the Land within the Biblical boundaries.

There is no question that we are better neighbors than a Palestinian Authority and will not be aggressive against our brothers and sisters unless provoked.  We would insist that nonJews within our Land accept the Noahide laws and accept Jewish Sovereignty. Otherwise they are free to leave to the 22 surrounding Muslim countries.  Acts of aggression against Jews will not be tolerated and will invoke harsh backlash in order to prevent further incidents.

I applaud many parts of the "Anti Freeze' Action Plan recently released by Grassroots organizations in the Yesha such as the call for No Dialogue and the Call for building.  But the part which calls for getting arrested seems to be dejas vous with disastrous results.  Let me remind you how the Yassam responded in Amona to the unprotected youth.  They hit them in their reproductive organs and made antisemitic remarks like we hope that the likes of you don't reproduce.

Please forgive me for reminding you but we must know our opponent and how they have responded in the past against unarmed civilians, namely a bunch of kids.They have imprisoned young girls compromising tzniyut with uncalled for body searches for months at a time for the crime of rejecting their court system.

Showing a willingness to be arrested indicates a willingness to be subservient and aversion to lead.  The State of Israel was established with a flaw.  That flaw is rejection of Torah.  Throughout the years however, the State did much to encourage a rebirth of Torah. That is until the intifada.  At that point the State seemed to undo their years of progress of building.  The Disengagement, the Hitnatkut symbolized destruction rather than growth.

Torah Jews can not operate under this anti Torah umbrella.  The flaw has turned into a crack. The time has come to correct this flaw.

If a Yesha autonomous governing authority is established, residents of the Judean and Samarian communities would pay taxes to the local municipalities and pay for the Judges and Legislature as well as for the services of the communities. Let there be a call among Torah Scholars, Talmudic scholars, academic scholars, political theorists, economists and those that research Hebraic Law (e.g. Selden) for papers addressing  a theoretical  model of a government based on Torah. 

We are talking about a population that respects authority.  However, how will the Rabbanei Hesder Yeshivoth look at their wives and children if Chas Vechalila the IDF comes by to evict them? Won't the women and children's eyes ask why was it forbidden to protest and mobilize the Jewish population to put an end to  these evil decrees rather than meekly agree to be subjected to getting arrested? Frankly, if I was in your shoes, I  wouldn't want my daughter to be arrested and I don't think she should be in the front line.  If they send in armed soldiers then, armed soldiers should be their match and not unarmed youth, women and children.

In my opinion, taking a strong position is justified and would be the only way to deter implementation of a future expulsion chas Vechalila.  All comments are welcome.  A healthy exchange of ideas is the civil way to respond to the looming threat of expulsion and any attempt to stifle a healthy dialogue would be indicative of failure to allow freedom of expression one of the basic Bill of Rights

Sincerely, Robin Ticker.
