When will we recognize that it was our betrayal to Torah and our brothers in Gush Katif that put us in physical danger now?
The Torah says that when we keep the Torah in the Land there will be peace.
Gush Katif consisted of productive, flourishing, agricultural communities. Residents of Gush Katif were Torah believers. They were by enlarge Torah abiding Jews who endeavored to keep the Mitzvoth of the Land.
Gush Katif protected Southern Israel. Gush Katif absorbed thousands of rockets. Numerous Nissim Gluyim, open miracles, protected the settlers and all this has been documented in the Gush Katif Hagaddah.
The gov't of Israel with the partnership of the Chareidi parties gave away Gush Katif to our enemies. We, the nation, destroyed the homes of our brothers.
Rabbosai. Is this Torah????? Where was the voice of Torah then? Where were the hundreds of thousands of protesters from the Chareidi camp against this aberration of Torah?
Hamas took over. Radical Islamic Jihad have been sending missiles ever since! The War in Lebanon was fought with a demoralized army who didn't know what they were fighting for. Who is the real enemy? Hezbollah or the settlers of Gush Katif?
"Operation Cast Lead" Baruch Hashem was more successful and masses of people, most importantly the soldiers themselves, turned toward heaven to pray.
There has been some quiet but the missiles are coming again. It's a reminder to us not to repeat mistakes of the past.
We are facing another expulsion of Jews like what happened in Gush Katif in Judea and Samaria. A Palestinian State. Again Jews are confused. Confusion is coming from the Chareidi camp. Who it the real enemy? Iran, Islamic Jihad in Gaza or Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid?
So Hashem sends some rockets to remind us....
Israel needs the IDF to clean up the mess once again, the mess that the keepers of Torah bear responsibility..... How so?
Did the keepers of Torah do their job? Was Torah learning merely an intellectual mental exercise? What about the Covenant of the Land with our Forefathers. What about all the Gemorrahs about property rights? Not relevant???? Silence....
Unfortunately for all, but mainly for the Chareidi community, they partnered in the Expulsion, a terrible sin, and now we, collectively are paying a price.
Shouldn't the Chareidim now admit their mistake and help clean up the mess? How about a historic delegation of respected Torah Leaders, Scholars and teachers to Hebron proclaiming our Jewish Heritage. Let us proclaim our eternal connection to our ancient Biblical Homeland especially Judea and Samaria. No part of Israel can ever be given away to any foreign sovereignty neither by the Prime Minister or member of his gov't as the Land belongs to G-d and He determines who the rightful owner is. That is what is written in Torah.
Israel is the only Nation that is able to sanctify the Land to bring blessing upon all of mankind. But Chareidim, (those that feel that they have a monopoly on Kedusah), are not letting it happen especially if they continue in a self absorbed message.
It's important to rehash our mistakes from the past so that we don't repeat it!
From Israel National News:
Terrorists Resume Rocket Fire as Far as Ashdod, Ashkelon Published March 13, 2014
by Maayana Miskin 
Gaza terrorists fired on major Israeli cities on Thursday morning, setting off the Red Alert rocket sirens in Ashdod and Ashkelon. The Iron Dome defensive system shot down at least one rocket that was on course to hit Ashkelon.
Two other rockets were later found near the city. Both had hit open areas. The rockets did not cause physical injury, but several people were treated for shock.
Terrorists had fired several rockets at southern Israel earlier on Thursday morning, setting off warning sirens in Sderot and surrounding communities.
According to AFP, just one of the rockets hit Israeli territory, while four others apparently struck within Gaza.
Gaza terrorists have fired nearly 100 rockets since Wednesday morning. Over 60 rockets have hit Israeli territory, while dozens more have fallen short inside Gaza.
Terrorists have previously caused death in Gaza with misfired rockets. In one notable incident, terrorists
killed the infant son of a BBC stringer – a death that the BBC, along with other international media outlets, initially blamed on Israel.
Israel's Air Force responded Wednesday night to the rocket attacks by
striking 29 targets in Gaza used by the Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorist groups. Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility for all of the rocket fire so far, while the Israeli government says Hamas ultimately bears responsibility as the ruling power in Gaza.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
condemned Israel's response to the rocket fire, accusing Israel of a "military escalation." He did not condemn the rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
So far, there have been no casualties reported among either Israelis or Gaza residents.

Dear Rabbi Pruzansky,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I appreciate the honesty which you express in all of your posts and your openness to the feedback you receive in the comments.
While I take issue with several things that you wrote (at least some of which have been raised by others), they all pale in comparison to one: Why do you a feel the need, let alone the right, to use the loshon of "Talmid Chacham she'ein bo da'at"?
I understand that you think you're correct on this matter. Whenever one expresses his opinion, by definition he believes it to be correct. And perhaps other rabbonim agree with you as well. But aren't we talking about dozens of big Talmidei Chachamim, Poskim, Roshei Yeshivos and Marbitzei Torah who have spent their lives immersed in Torah?! Isn't it at least possible that they're right and you're wrong? Couldn't you have expressed your position while still showing a bit of respect for theirs?
And even if you'll say that you're 100% convinced that you're right and they're wrong, why do you feel the need to denigrate these Torah scholars by speaking of them in such a way? Couldn't you have at least shown some kavod, if not for their opinions, for their gadlus in Torah?
