Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan [ZTL ZYA] said this in
his HANDBOOK OF JEWISH THOUGHT,
volume II, chapter 3, paragraph 24, top of page 23:

“Experience has shown us that when Jews
are not ready to defend and die for their fellows,
an even greater number are killed in the end.”

AviraDeArah said:

“Yankel, the Zionists caused the Arab threat.”
=========================================

FACT: Muslims have been attacking and killing Jews non-stop
for over 1,400 years, or if your prefer, for more than 14 centuries.

Even Mohammed, the founder of Islam who lived over 1,400 years ago,,
massacred many hundreds of Jews, and took their wives and children as slaves.
These massacres are recorded, with many details, in Islam’s most sacred holy books.

To say that: “the Zionists caused the Arab threat” is a false re-write of verifiable history.

=========================================
Mohammed’s last words before he died:

“O Lord, kill the Jews and Christians!”

SOURCE: Hadith Malik, 511:1588.
Hadith is a major Islamic holy book, like the Koran.
Those words were written many centuries before the first Zionists.

=========================================
Mr. Ali Adi [an Arab who lives in Israel] said:

“The truth, which the entire Arab world already acknowledges,
that the Israeli army is more humane and considerate
than the Arab armies, fills me with pride.”

=========================================
The Koran’s 5th chapter, verse 82 says:

“You will find that the people most hostile towards
the believers [Muslims] are the Jews and the polytheists…”

=========================================
Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 56:
Narrated by Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger [Mohammed] said,

“The [Final] Hour will not be established
until you fight with the Jews,
and the stone behind which a Jew
will be hiding will [miraculously] say:

“O Muslim!
There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him!”

SOURCE:Sahih al-Bukhari 2924, Book 56,
Hadith 137, Volume 4, Book 52, Hadith 175

=========================================
At a [year] 1937 [CE] lecture to the British
Foreign Ministry, the King of Saudi Arabia said:

“Verily, the word of Allah teaches us,
and we implicitly believe this…
for a Muslim to kill a Jew…
ensures him immediate entry into Heaven…”

SOURCE: The Holocaust’s Most Vicious Killers
by Edwin Black, The Jewish Press, 2011/1/21, pages 1 and 91.

=========================================
Abdul Aziz told this to Harold Dickson in [year] 1937 [CE]:

“Our hatred for the Jews, dates from God’s condemnation of them
for their persecution and rejection of ‘Isa [J C] and
their subsequent rejection later of His chosen Prophet [Muhammad]…

“Verily the word of God teaches us – and we implicitly believe this O Dickson –
that for a Muslim to kill a Jew [in war], or for him to be killed by a Jew,
ensures him immediate entry in Heaven and into the august presence of God Almighty.”

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan [ZTL ZYA] taught (in his “Handbook of Jewish Thought”,
volume 2, chapter 24, paragraph 18, bottom of page 365):

“There are numerous traditions that the Jewish people will begin to
return to the Land of Israel as a prelude to the Messiah.

The ingathering will begin with a measure of political independence,
and according to some, with permission of the other nations.”

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan [ZTL ZYA] taught (in his “Handbook of Jewish Thought”,
volume 2, chapter 24, paragraph 20, page 366):

“There is another important reason why the ingathering of the exile
[to the Land of Israel] must precede the coming of the Messiah…”

================================================
Given these teachings of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, we cannot believe
that The Three Oaths were meant to be binding
in the way that is claimed by the anti-Zionists.

The anti-Zionist interpretation of The Three Oaths has been refuted
by these teachings of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan,
who was not only a great Rabbi, but also a great genius.

If you doubt the accuracy of my quotes, then please feel free
to read Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan’s “Handbook of Jewish Thought”,
which I highly recommend to all Jews.

May G*D grant all Jews a very happy Rosh Chodesh Nisan,
and a very happy Pesach, and a very happy Chodesh Nisan.

So far, nobody in this Coffee Room has refuted these, or even tried to refute these:

Arizal stated that the Gimel Shevuot [Three Oaths] did not apply after 1,000 years of exile.

The 16th Century Kabbalist, Rabbi Chaim Vital expressed the view
that the Three Oaths were only binding for the first thousand [1,000]
years of Exile, in his Introduction to Sefer Eitz Chayim.

Yankel Berel, everything you said is true and logical.

Unfortunately, the anti-Zionists who comment in this Coffee Room
are fanatical, narrow-minded, close-minded zealots,
who will NEVER LISTEN to anything you say,
and will NEVER LISTEN to any person who disagrees with them.

The misguided piety of the anti-Zionists can push the Jewish people
into a JEWISH CIVIL WAR, which will result in millions of Jews DEAD.
And a super-massive Chillul HaShem.
But that will not stop them, and it will not even slow them down a little.

AviraDeArah said:

“Of note is that before Zionism,
Jews were able to go to the kosel freely.”
================================================

What you just said is FALSE — it is a rewrite of Jewish History,
custom-tailored to fit your anti-Zionist ideological requirements.

Before the Kotel was liberated by “the Zionists”,
only a small part of the Kotel was accessible for Jewish prayers,
and Jews had to pay money even for that.

During the British Mandate, one Jew was thrown in jail
because he blew a shofar at the Kotel on Rosh HaShanah.

This is not the first time that the anti-Zionists have
created a false Jewish History that is custom-tailored
to fit their anti-Zionist ideological requirements.

The anti-Zionists falsely teach that:
“Before the Zionists, Jews were treated well in Muslim lands.”

That statement is very false, and it has been refuted many times.

But the anti-Zionists still believe it, because it is a falsehood
that is custom-tailored to fit their ideological requirements.

Rabbi Chaim Vital expressed the view that the Three Oaths
were only binding for the first thousand years of Exile,
in his Introduction to Sefer Eitz Chayim.

So far, nobody in this Coffee Room has refuted this,
or even attempted to refute it.

A member of the Haredi community, Rabbi Chaim Walkin,
points out in his book, Daat Chaim, that Rambam
discussed the Three Oaths only in the Epistle to Yemen,
but not in his Halachic work, the Mishnah Torah.

Rabbi Walkin postulates that this is because while Rambam
saw these oaths as important, he did not consider them
to be legally binding as Halachah, only that they serve as
“warnings that these actions would be unsuccessful”.

HaLeiVi: anon1m0us just made a valid point, which you chose to ignore.

For 18 centuries, the land of Israel was a barren desert wasteland,
with very few crops and very few people.

That holy land is now filled with many farms that produce
huge amounts of crops, and millions of people.

Even the Gentiles are amazed by the transformation
of the land of Israel from barren desert wasteland
to highly-productive farmlands.

EVEN THE ARABS are very impressed by the transformation
of the land of Israel from barren desert wasteland to
highly-productive farmlands, and they are jealous of this!

The only people who are not impressed by this modern-day
miracle are: UJM, AviraDeArah, HaKatan, the wicked traitors
of the Neturei Karta, and brainwashed Israel-bashing zealots,
who only see the bad in those Jews
who do not meet their standards for kedushah.

If G*D really held by The Three Oaths, then He would not
have permitted this this modern-day miracle of agriculture.

Rabbi Lazer Brody (from Breslov) said:

“People think they can eat whatever they want on Shabbat because it tastes good….
rich chocolate éclairs or colas and all kinds of chemicals and all kinds of drinks.
Even on Shabbat, you are not allowed to eat things that are detrimental to your body.”

In year 1922 of the Common Era, the League of Nations
designated both sides of the Jordan River as a future homeland FOR JEWS.

The British Empire was given a mandate by the League of Nations
to administer and rule that land, until it became a future homeland FOR JEWS.

Since the League of Nations represented almost every nation (at that time)
Jews who return to Eretz Yisrael are NOT REBELLING against the nations,
and the Three Oaths NO LONGER APPLY (assuming that they ever applied at all).

edited – hate filled accusations against people for being hate filled canceled each other out

The anti-Zionists complain that “The Zionists” push Jews away from Torah;
but the anti-Zionists have also done things that push Jews away from Torah.

The author of the “Haflaah” maintains that The Three Oaths apply
ONLY to those who are in the exile of Bavel, and not in other lands.

HaKatan said: “Which poskim rule that they are not halacha?”

================================================

ANSWER: The Three Oaths are an Agadic Midrash,
and therefore they are not Halachically obligatory,
because Agadic Midrashim (as opposed to Halachic Midrashim)
are not traditionally understood as a valid source for Halachah.

Stated simply: Midrashim are not Halachah.

YWN Moderator said to me:

“Just curious – do you accept these as fact because you read them online?”

MY RESPONSE:

I have read dozens of books about nutrition and health,
and I have taken detailed carefully type-written notes
for ***ALL*** of the nutrition books that I read.

Everything that I said in my previous message can be verified;
not just once, but multiple times, if only you invest the effort
to study many books about nutrition and health, like I did.

The fact that you could even question the very-well-known facts
that I reported in my previous message is an irrefutable proof
that my previous message was desperately needed.

If you live near a public library, then you should
be able to borrow an read nutrition books for free.

you cut and paste clips from books and websites instead of having conversations. I was just wondering if you consider all this valid because you read it online.
