Reply To: Refuting the Three Oaths [Gimel Shevuot]

The Gentiles of the world have certainly failed to abide by The Third Oath:

“DO NOT OVERLY SUBJUGATE THE JEWS DURING THEIR EXILE.”

The structure of the Talmud statement makes it clear that
The Three Oaths were a contractual relationship —
once one of the sides breaks its commitment,
so too the other side is released from the contract.

Though the Talmud does not define precisely how much
subjugation is too much, it can be assumed that centuries of:
Crusades, Inquisitions, Blood Libels and many other false accusations,
Pogroms, Jew-Taxes, beatings, tortures, unjust imprisonments,
and the horrors of the Holocaust have effectively severed
the Jewish people’s obligation to remain in Exile.

Rabbi Teichtal, in his book “Em Habanim Smeicha” offers this explanation:

Although the Jews were sworn not to enter Eretz Yisrael forcefully,
the nations of the world were also sworn not to persecute the Jews too much.

Over the course of the exile, the Jews were severely persecuted by the gentiles.
Because the gentiles violated their oath, the Jews were no longer bound by their oath.
