Rabbi Avi Schwartz's response to the fires burning across Israel

I don't know if Daniel Greenfield is on target re: Obama's grandiose plans but I think that we have enough evidence to know that Obama empowered, and in all likelihood will continue to empower, evil...be it Muslim Brotherhood, Nuclear Iran and ISIS.
If we investigate Hillary and the Clintons and their operation, my guess is that many illegalities will point back to Obama and his administration and to their network of no good doers as well.
Trump should go full steam ahead with a full and thorough investigation, identify and correct the factors that created an environment where evil and corruptness was able to thrive and flourish... Alternatively, America will end up paying a heavy price and suffer the consequences of evil unchecked.
If for no other reason, he owes it to the people who voted for him...to those who expect Truth, Justice and the American Way to finally prevail over the forces of evil.
Obama's efforts should and must be neutralized before damage occurs. That is why Trump must be vigilante to include and surround himself, especially in his inner circle, with G-d fearing individuals who have a proven track record to first and foremost act on principle and Faith rather than on greed and lust for power.
Josef wisely counseled the Egyptian Ruler Pharaoh when he told him in Bereishit - Genesis - Chapter 41:33
לג וְעַתָּה יֵרֶא פַרְעֹה אִישׁ נָבוֹן וְחָכָם וִישִׁיתֵהוּ עַל אֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם:
33 So now, let Pharaoh seek out an understanding and wise man and appoint him over the land of Egypt.
The hearts of Kings is in the hand of G-d.
משלי כא א: "פלגי מים לב מלך ביד ה' על כל אשר יחפץ יטנו"
Mishlei - Proverbs - Chapter 21:1 A king's heart is like rivulets of water in the Lord's hand; wherever He wishes, He turns it.
Therefore the people must be worthy for G-d's benevolence and Trump's administration must be above board in ethics and morality, free of scandals that stem from corruption and moral decay. That is the preventive cure to stop any evil plans in its track and scatter them like dust in the wind.
Psalms 149:8
8 To bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron.
ח לֶאְסֹּר מַלְכֵיהֶם בְּזִקִּים וְנִכְבְּדֵיהֶם בְּכַבְלֵי בַרְזֶל:
9 To execute upon them a written judgment; that will be splendor to all His pious ones. Hallelujah!

Peace and Blessing:
You asked my opinion on the issue of Eretz Israel as well as the issue of handing over territories
to enemies claiming to make peace – as they call it, "peace in exchange for territories," or
"territories in exchange for peace." You also asked whether a rabbi should issue a ruling in
either direction.
Eretz Israel in its entirety was given as a gift to the Jewish people, not to Esau nor to Ishmael,
and they have no part in it. There is a commandment to conquer the land and not to abandon it
and certainly not to relinquish it to foreigners, especially to an enemy.
Peace is made in exchange for peace, because peace itself is a supreme and sacred value that
cannot be bartered for anything else.
There is a Halachic principle that one rabbinical court cannot override the ruling of another
court unless it is superior to it in wisdom and in numbers. The council of the former Chief
Rabbinate, as well as the great luminary who was proficient in all areas of the Torah with
amazing clarity, the Lubavitcher Rebbe of saintly memory, ruled against relinquishing territory,
and no rabbi has the right to override them. As mentioned, today there is no one who can
compare to them in wisdom and numbers.
This is particularly so when we see that this is not even a flawed peace. Rather, they are making
preparations to declare a Palestinian state and so on. Therefore, every rabbi is fully entitled to
rely on the aforementioned ruling and to state unequivocally that it is forbidden to relinquish
territories to foreigners, and certainly not to an enemy. No minister nor rabbi should protest
against them for upholding that view, even if he thinks that it is contrary to the Halacha.
I wish to add that they have no right to issue a verdict that it is permissible to relinquish
territories if in their opinion they are "civil servants." Especially when this is a matter of pikuach
nefesh, an issue of life or death, who can assume responsibility to take such action?
May it be the will of G-d to bestow a pure and holy spirit on the Jewish People. May we no
longer hear of woe and calamity in our Holy Land, and may we merit the Final Redemption
speedily in our days. Amen, so be His will.
With blessing,
