There doesn't go by a week that the Satmar Yiddish propaganda newspapers like Der Yid, Der Blatt, Der Zeitung and Der Shturmer write articles how the Jews and the Arabs got along fine up until Zionism developed. This of course has been proven to be fabricated . But proven facts mean nothing to the Hungarian/Romanian liars and they have succeeded to shlep the naïve Litvishe/Yeshivisha Roshei Yeshiva to their nests of lies.
In Israel we are going to read this Shabbas Parshas Shlach the parsha of the spies.
The meraglim weren't just simple Jews, they were hand chosen by Moshe Rabbeinu thru prophecy.
The Torah itself states:
כלם אנשים ראשי בני ישראל המה "they were all distinguished men leaders of the Children of Israel"
They were the "moetzes gedoilei ha'Torah" of that generation. They were indeed the"daas Torah" of that generation, and yet they succumbed to Satan.
And what was their sin, the sin that Hashem never forgave, and that the entire generation, save a few, had to die in the desert and couldn't enter Eretz Yisrael? Talking Loshon Hara? Against who?
Against earth, wood and stones!
Hashem gave the children of Avraham this land as a gift to his descendants, and these "gedoilim" wanted no part of it!
Parshas Shlach has an important message: one can be a "gadol" and yet can at the same time destroy the Jewish people, making them wander 40 years thereby forcing Klall Yisrael to have a "Tisha Be'ov for thousands of years.
Rav Teichtal in his sefer "Eim Habonim Semeicha" writes: "Are any of us bigger tzaddikim than the meraglim? But because they had "ne'geeus" they had personal bias in their hearts , they turned on eretz Yisrael."
and he adds:
אפילו צדיקים יכולים להיות מרגלים. על כן תדעו, שכל אלו אשר המה גם בזמן כזה שאנו בו כעת, נגד העליה ונגד הבנין וישוב הארץ. המה מכת המרגלים,וכל אלו הבוחרים בעליה, המה מכת יהושע וכלב
"Even Tzaddikim can be from the meraglim. Therefore take notice, those today who are against building and settling Eretz Yisrael, are from the meraglim. Those who choose Aliyah are from the camp of Yehoshua and Calev"
I have mentioned many times that the Yaavetz wrote in his siddur that all the tzuris that the Jewish people had to endure, like banishment of Spain, England, the crusades and Chelemetzki pogroms was only because the Jews didn't read the signs to emigrate to Israel.
Yes... but what about the three oaths?
I have written time and again explaining this issue, but let me just say this now. Even if you should erroneously say that they apply today, they don't apply to each individual Jew. Every single Jew has an obligation to make Aliyah. And that's how the Vilna Gaon,the Baal Shem Tov learned pshat in the 3 oaths, as they did everything they could to emigrate. The Chafetz Chayim also made concrete plans to make aliyah.
The Jews clinging on to the 3 oaths remained in Europe only to be slaughtered to the tune of 6 million. You would think that the survivors would now see this as a sign to get out of Europe once and for all, and finally make Aliyah but no. The Rabbis told them that the Zionists were evil, that the new state created in 1948 was an abomination. They told them to either stay in Europe and rebuild from the bottom up or emigrate to the USA which they themselves pre WW2 called "the trifene medinah" the "Treif Country"
The Satmar Rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum even predicted in 1957 and again in 1963 that there would be no Torah Institutions in 20 years in Israel. He predicted that 95% of all Jews in Israel would assimilate with the Arabs. I remember in the 60's when Satmar predicted that the State of Israel would no longer exist in 40 years
To bolster their arguments against the Zionist State, they brazenly re-wrote history and fabricated a false narrative of the relationship between Arabs and Jews and made up stories that Jews and Arabs lived in peace side by side. By the way this narrative is used by the Arab murderers as well.
Even though Satmar shouts לשנה הבא בירושלים and say in bentching ובנה ירושלים עיר הקדש and say three times a day in Shemona Esra ברוך אתה ה' בונה ירושלים
they don't believe it for one second .
I'm old enough to remember that when the goy, the then President Trump moved the US embassy to Yerushalayim and declared Yerushalyim as the capital, R' Aron Teitelbaum, the Monroe Satmar Rebbe who is married to a Hebrew speaking wife, said this declaration has no "shaichis" "no connection" to the Jewish people.
How does someone even utter such blasphemous words and remain a leader? How is it that his sheep still remained with him? The reason is because they get their news from the Yiddish Der Shturmer and are indoctrinated while they are still nursing, to hate fellow Jews.
I am reminded of what R' Chaim Volozhiner writes in Nefesh Ha'Chayim. When the Mishna in Sota 49b lists all the terrible developments that will precede the arrival of Moshiach. Chazal conclude
ועל מה יש לנו להשען על אבינו שבשמים
"Upon what, then, can we lean on? Upon our Father in Heaven"
R' Chaim explains that this last line is actually part of the negative forecast, in that instead of trying to correct things ourselves, we will simply say that it's up to Hashem and doesn't require our own hishtadlus!
This "orgy of violence took place 26 years before Herzl was even born!
The article below from a newspaper called "The Near East" does not mention "Zionism" at all. The "friendly" Arabs just killed Jews because they could. That's why we need a State! That's why we need an army. It's not perfect but we should thank Hashem for it ..
