twisted:
taxation was one of the reasons cited for the revolt
The revolt that was not supported by the chachomim and
eventually led to the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash?
That’s not a very good argument for fighting.
the need to define what is ezras yisrael mitzar haba aleihem
If you’re interested, go ahead. Patur Aval Assur might be willing to help.
would a non halacha sanctioned malchut
(government for example) have a mitzva to act
Wouldn’t anyone who could act have a mitzvah to?
We still have at least part of the mitzva of bet din based government, which today is oppressed by the PTB, this alone is reason for a mini chanuka
Seeing as the gedolim have not called for revolution,
they apparently do not agree with you on that.
Even if it is true, it would not require endangering our lives.
