The State of Israel was established through the m'srirut nefesh of brave Jews who returned to our land from the four corners of the earth, and "hand in hand" with ha'Kadosh baruch Hu', fought off the British and the invading Arab armies who thought that they could thwart the redemption process of the Jewish people. While others may have thought otherwise, the goal of Zionism was, and is, to establish an independent Jewish state in the land of the Jewish people, the Land of Israel. The purpose of returning to Zion was to sanctify the name of G-d and to bring the Jewish people one step closer to the final redemption by fulfilling many of the prophecies written in Tanach. We came here to live as Jews in our land and in accordance with the ideology of the Torah. There is no other place on earth where a Jew can call home and although we are obligated to uphold the Torah anywhere, it can only truly be observed in the Land of Israel. The issue here is not political or financial it is religious. Jews NEED to have Jewish sovereignty over the land of Israel in order to properly observe the Torah and Jewish sovereignty over the land is a great Kiddush HaShem after thousands of years of gentile oppression. (Unfortunately, most Jewish leaders have been willing to accept less - they seek merely a safe haven for our oppressed nation) with agreed upon and secure borders. (this last comment of "agreed upon and secure borders" is the lead in to your article, but it is mentioned "derech agav") But the fact is, no country in the world determines its borders as a result of international (consensus) agreement. (Normal?) Countries establish their borders by being a strong enough force in the region, until their neighbors must accept them. As Rabbi Kahane bluntly put it, "if a bully pushes you and you step back, he is going to push you again". That is the way of the world. It is a tough place, and even tougher if you re a Jew. Secure borders for the state of Israel are not something that will happen because of the understanding and goodwill of the goyim. The State of Israel's borders will be safe and secure when our leaders realize that these borders will be only be recognized by the world after we establish facts on the g round with our army and with the help of God. By using our might to make our point, we will be accepted and respected by the nations of the world. The international pressure on Israel to capitulate is caused not only by anti-Semitism, but by the disgust of a world that sees the Jews as crybabies and whiners - "he started", "its not my fault", "its not fair". A world that enters Afghanistan and Iraq to protect its' citizens from terrorists on the other side of the globe, cannot fathom a Jewish people who possess a renowned army, yet refuse to eliminate terrorists from within their midst. Our leaders have not yet overcome the ghetto mentality. They do not act as rulers of an independent state but of a vassal state, or a community committee lobbying the world to provide protection for their district. We must get back on track by bringing to power leaders who are dedicated to establishing a sovereign Jewish state in the Land of Israel. We have seen Ha'Shem's hand in the battles of '48, '67 and '73. We must acknowledge Ha'Shem and accept our role and His gifts to our people, realizing that the Jewish people exist in the Land of Israel only because God wishes so. We do not need the approval of the nations. God has given us the military might to protect our borders. The sovereignty of the state of Israel will be accepted, respected and recognized not because the nations so please, but because they have no other choice. |
