Avi K: the amount of Sheker spread in you post is unbelievable. I will respond to your points

The Shalosh Shevuot are a halachic non-starter.

1. They are aggadata not halacha. In fact, none of the codes (Mishna Tora, Tur, Shulchan Aruch, Rema) mention them nor do the Rif, the Rosh or the Nossei Keilim.In fact, Ramban (Sefer HaMitzvot, Mitzvot that Rambam “Forgot”) states that there is a Tora mitzva to conquer EY is our time.

2, In his introduction to Sefer Etz Chaim, Rav Chaim Vital writes that they were only for 1,000 years.

To be sure not everything Rav CHaim Vital says is Halacha. BUT he does not even say this. Rav Chaim Vital quotes the Zohar in bereishis which is talking about Hashem’s oath to keep us in Galus will only be for 1,000 years (the zohar say after 1000 years is because people did not do teshuva). Not talking about the Shalosh Shevuos.

There are lots of refutations to your last 3 oaths I just dont have time right now.
