Arso- not that I doubt it- he actually just went to the trouble of photographing about 6 pages of scholarly research about the Rebbes yichus- but that I know it’s not about answers with you. So I’m glad that it is addressed in that sefer, and maybe some other time I’ll take it further.

Yes I quoted the Gemara, and yes we were discussing. But you brought sources on the Rashi- (the Rashi itself merely lists the two kgons- shades of/ examples, and you’re deciding to read it like the interpretation that it means it can only be these two. Which I don’t have to do that. And even so, taking it further – it would seem even according to that- that that only applies to that very generation. So yes, there’s the Ramban, and yes there’s the explicit Gemara, The sdei chemed, abarbanel etc etc. And the Rebbe about his father in law which didn’t seem to be any issue before Gimmel Tammuz because I probably would have heard of it.

Yes the 2 hostages families took on hachlotos, when urged to by shluchim. Guess where that inspiration came from?

And yes I think it is horrible to make a ceasefire- there could have been another way for them to be released as just happened. Fact is though- there has never been such a “good” ceasefire and terrorist exchange rate ever- feel free to correct me. I guess my point with this was that the Rebbes influence is definitely alive and well today, as will continue to be until we finish this golus forever.
