ROB:
mw13: Some of your statements are factually incorrect but this is not what I want to discuss.
If you believe anything I said to be “factually incorrect”, feel free to show your proof of the true facts. But kindly do not cast aspersions if you cannot back them up.
The simple fact is that unless you keep on showing that you are the “baalbos”, you lose your rights. If we forbid jews to go into he Har Habayis, our rights to that piece of land will be lost
We have already lost our right to ascend HHB. This right was not taken away by the Arabs, it was taken away by Hashem and His Torah. And nothing short of the geulah shelaima will change that.
and, soon our right to any piece of land in Israel will be lost.
Nonsense. Barring Jews from ascending HHB (in accordance with the opinions of the overwhelming majority of the Gedolai HaPoskim), except for Israeli police acting in security interests, will have no discernible affect on the Jewish hold on the rest of the country.
Principles are important.
True. And one of the most important principles in Judaism is the value of life, and the lengths we go to protect it. There are very few principles that override this one – namely avodah zara, giluy arayos, shvichas dumim, and certain forms of chillul Hashem. But asserting Jewish sovereignty is simply not one of them. We do not, and we may not, risk lives for this principle.
We do not put our lives and the lives of our fellows on the line just to prove that we own a piece of land. We know it is ours,and when Moshiach comes, the rest of the world will know it too.
