Lichvod HaRav Eliashiv: re: testimony that will help stop destruction of Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria

Bs"d

Lichvod Harav Eliashiv, shlita, amv"sh

Please see below article regarding Rav Shlomo Goren's statement against giving away parts of Eretz Yisroel to Arabs and his position to disobey orders from the IDF when they violate Torah law.

Lichvod HaRav Eliashiv and other esteemed Rabbanim on this list, amv"sh:

The nations of the world are accusing Am Yisroel of being occupiers. They claim Har Habayit, Hebron, Kever Rochel and Shchem as theirs and that we must end the "occupation". Davka, they pick the places which according to the Midrash were bought by our Jewish ancestors. They understand better than we do that when they choose these places they are in essence taking claim of the entire Eretz Yisroel and when we claim these places we are taking claim to our Biblical boundaries of Eretz Yisroel.  That is why they are incensed and angry when we dare challenge them when it comes to these holy places. When we fail to claim these Holy sites we submit to their tantrums and give in to their demands against the Divine will thereby nullifying the Covenant between Hashem and our forefathers Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov. In Parshath Nitzavim Hashem says Devarim 29 Pasuk 13 "Not with you alone do I seal this covenant and this curse, but with whoever is here standing with us today before Hashem, our G-d , and with whoever is not here with us today. " (that means us)

In Selichos we say Vayikra 26 Pasuk (42) "Vezacharti as Brisi Yaakov, Veaf as Brisi Yitzchok, Veaf es Brisi Avraham Ezkor, Vehaaretz Ezkor". I will remember My Covenant with Jacob and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the Land. (43)The Land will be bereft of them; and it will be appeased for its sabbaticals having become desolate of them; and they must gain appeasement for their iniquity, because they were revolted by My ordinances and because their spirit rejected My decrees.


Settlers are woken up in the middle of the night and their homes and possessions including synagogues are demolished as per orders of the GOI  (Governement of Israel). How can this be allowed according to Torah law?  According to Torah, what is the status of Judea and Samaria? Clearly it is within the delineated borders of EY of Parshat Maasei. We would like Rav Eliashiv along with a Rabbinic army, Tzivos Hashem, to testify to that thereby saving homes now slated for destruction from being demolished and destroyed or even moved to a different location. Jewish soldiers may not throw their brethren from their homes.  Why must Jews call these parcels of Eretz Yisroel "disputed territories"?  According to Torah it is clear as day that these are not disputed and belong to the Nation of Israel and to the Nation of Israel exclusively as per the Divine Covenant with our forefathers Avrohom, Yitzchok and Yaakov. It is called the PROMISED LAND for precisely this reason!

 If peace and prosperity is to reign in the world it must be according to the Divine Roadmap.  If the settlers compromise it is not because they accept in principle the concept of "disputed territories".  It is because they are traumatized by a government that has lost its ideology and have forgotten the Torah. Let us unite to raise the banner of Torah throughout the world and create a Kiddush Hashem!

Even if the Nations will tantrum at these truths, it is critical testimony that when affirmed by the majority of Jews living throughout the world.  It will  save Jewish homes from destruction in Judea and Samaria and in homes in low lying areas from rocket attacks. It will stem the Islamic fundamentalism that has overtaken Europe and much of the world and is now threatening United States and Canada. The leadership of the Palestinians have transplanted themselves in America because they were left unchecked. (CAIR). Is it any wonder that anti-Semitism is on the rise?

 If one with the credentials of a Gadol Hador BeTorah UMitzvoth refuses to testify this given, aren't they chayav beDinei Shamayim? Also Har Habayit under the Waqf is used as a soccer field. Doesn't the Torah say Es Mikdashi Tiraoo. Given all the Mitzvoth that require davka HaMokom Asher Yivchar Hashem, how can we allow this continued bizayon and Chillul Hashem on Har Habayit? 

The following comes from the post


RABBI GOREN INSTRUCTED IDF SOLDIERS NOT TO COMPLY
WITH DISMANTLING OF SETTLEMENTS UNDER HALACHA LAW
 Shlomo Goren adamantly believed that IDF soldiers should uphold the Torah law. Accordingly, he profoundly opposed the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords.  Believing in the redemption of Israel, he did not want any land in Eretz Yisrael to be illegally yielded and ceded to Israel’s arch-enemies. 
As he clearly said below, “an order to uproot settlements” was “contrary to Torah law.” Thus, he instructed IDF soldiers not to comply with such orders, which violated the Halacha. As he further said, “settling the land is a commandment, and uprooting the settlements is breaking the commandment.”
"It is clear that according to Halacha, a soldier who receives an order that runs contrary to Torah law should uphold the Halacha, and not the secular order. And since settling the land is a commandment, and uprooting the settlements is breaking the commandment, the soldier should not carry out an order to uproot settlements.” . . .  – Rabbi Shlomo Goren’s quote published in Hatzofeh National Religious Party newspaper on 12/19/93. (Source of quote: Ahavat-Israel.com)
Indeed, the clandestine illegal so-called Oslo “peace process” made with Arafat’s PLO Palestinian “terrorists” has admittedly been a “mistake”  an enormous mistakefor the State of Israel’s sovereignty and all Jewish People worldwide.  If Rabbi Goren could see what “violators of the covenant,” “traitors” to Jewish people, and “conspirators” with Israel’s arch-enemies have done to “holy” Eretz Yisrael after his death in 1994, no doubt, he would stay rolled over in his grave. It would be better for him to wait for a resurrection at the coming of the Mashiach into a better World to Come (Olam Haba) with a New Holy City of Jerusalem, than to weep with eternal sorrow in his heart over precious “holy” land relinquished to Palestinian “terrorists. (Read Post Summaries on right side of this web page regarding the illegal Oslo Peace Accords Suffocation of Legal/Political Rights to Judea/Samaria; Shimone Peres’ lifted up heel against Israel; the 1920 San Remo Resolution; and the Oslo Peace Accords betrayal of Ben-Gurion’s speech.)
Shlomo Goren served as a Chief Rabbi of Israel; a Chief Judge of the Supreme Rabbinical Court of Appeals; and a Chief Rabbi and Rabbinical Court Presiding Judge of Tel Aviv.  He was also the President (Nasi) sponsor of Yeshiva Har Bracha headed by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed (a well known author on Jewish Law).
According to interesting reports, Rabbi Goren and Rabbi Getz (the Chief Rabbi of the Western Wall and holy places in Israel) also searched for the Ark of the Covenant under the Temple Mount.  In June of 2011, the Israel Postal Co. issued a stamp honoring Rabbi Shlomo Goren – a remarkable Orthodox Torah observant Religious Zionist. (See stamp on top left side of this web page.)
ISRAEL HAS THE GREATEST MILITARY POWER ON EARTH BY THE SUPERNATURAL FINGER OF GOD!  It is time to tap into this supernaturalpower, once again, by upholding the sacred Torah Law of Moshe like the spiritual Orthodox Zionist Major-General Rabbi Goren did in the IDF.
There are no short-cuts to the ancient Holy God of Israel. Since the days of Moshe, God has always required that the Children of Israel fear (reverence) Him; walk in all His ways (according to applicable Torah law commandments, statutes, and judgments); love Him; and serve Him with all their heart and soul. (Deut. 10:12)  Without observance of the Torah, the supernatural power of God cannot manifest to God’s Chosen People, whom He created for His praise and glory on earth.
Indeed, God established a “holy people” from the House of Jacob/Israel so “all people of the earth” would see they are “called by the name of the Lord” (YHVH) – and would be “afraid” of Israel. (Deut. 28:9,10) That’s exactly what happened in the 6-Day War.This war was won by the supernatural finger of God,” “fear of God,” and “fear of the Jews.”
An article of eyewitness accounts and reports of “miracles” published in Arutz Sheva 7 (5/14/07) regarding the 6-Day War is discussed below, in part. The article is titled: “Miracles in the 6-Day War: Eyewitness Accounts”:
·         IDF surprises brought the “fear of God” and “fear of the Jews” upon the Arabs:
"The Arabs were surprisedthe fear of the Jews fell upon them. In Hevron, and in Shechem, in Jenin and in Jericho the Arabs were heavily armed. There was not even one small Arab village without arms. With great haste, the Arabs, however, hid their weapons and didn't consider using them. They raised their hands up, and flew white flags of surrender from every edifice. The fear of G-d fell upon hundreds of thousands of proud Arabs, who were filled with hatred and loathing for Israel. Only yesterday, they had sworn to fight until their last drop of blood."
·         A dumbfounded German journalist’s summary of the 6-Day War:
Nothing like this has happened in history. A force including a 1000 tanks, hundreds of artillery cannons, many rockets and fighter jets, and a hundred thousand soldiers armed from head to toe was destroyed in two days in an area covering hundreds of kilometers filled with reinforced outposts and installations. And this victory was carried out by a force that lost many soldiers and much equipment, positions, and vehicles. No military logic or natural cause can explain this monumental occurrence.”
·         Ezer Weizmann’s profound words about mysteries in the 6-Day War:
Major-General and IDF Director of Operations in the 6-Day War, Ezer Weizmann (who was later elected President of the State of Israel), was asked by a fallen pilot’s father to explain the following mystery:  How could the Israel Air Force fly planes for three hours “from one Egyptian airstrip to another destroying the enemy planes,” without Egyptians warning their forces via radio of oncoming Israeli attacks? After some silence, Mr. Weizmann responded to the father’s question with these profound words: “The finger of G-d.”  
·         Haaretz Newspaper’s admission of supernatural “help from heaven” in the 6-Day War:
By its own admission, the secular Haaretz Newspaper acknowledged Israel’ssupernatural victory as follows:
 “Even a non-religious person must admit this war was fought with help from heaven.” 
(As referenced in the Arutz Sheva 7 article above,

Rabbi Menachem Kasher, Chap. Sichu B’chol Niflaotav, pp. 445, 446, 452 (2000 ed.)

RABBI GOREN’S PROTÉGÉS: 7 TORAH OBSERVANT EX-IDF RABBIS
Like God’s Divine complete number 7, Rabbi Goren left a spiritual legacy of 7 Torah observant protégés with Makabim spirits of righteousness according to God’s will. Indeed, this writer believes our journey in life is Divinely predestined, and not by chance. Surely, such 7 Children/Sons of Light protégés will carry on Goren’s spiritual legacy in these End Times of Good vs. Evil, which our generations are witnessing before our eyes.(See “Mobilizing Children/Sons of Light” link on the bottom left side of this web page.)
          As reported on Matzav.com (1/1/10), Rabbi Goren’s 7 protégé ex-IDF rabbis of the air force, navy, and IDF Educational Division ruled that Halacha supersedes any military orders that contradict Jewish Law (including the Torah law). These 7 rabbis are members of the LAHAV organization – an acronym “TO STRENGTHEN JUDAISM IN THE IDF.”
BARAK’S ORDERS TO EVACUATE JUDEA/SAMARIA STRONGLY REBUKED BY THE 7 RABBIS:  In a strong letter of rebuke, the 7 rabbis informed Defense Minister Ehud Barak to “stop the “incitement” against Hesder yeshivas, and to reinstate Har Bracha expelled from the Hesder framework. Hesder yeshivas give religious Jewish soldiers the opportunity to participate in the IDF, and also study the Torah. Barak expelled Har Brachafrom the Hesder framework after head Rabbi Eliezer Melamed (mentioned above) gave his full support to IDF soldiers for “refusing orders” to evacuate Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria.”
            The letter to Barak signed by the 7 Rabbis Yosef Harel, Meir Keller, Yosef Wasserman, Yechiel Farber, Shlomo Garbarchik, Abshlalom Katzir, and Pini Isaac (LAHAV’s chairman), further made it crystal clear to him by saying:  “As protégés of former Chief IDF Rabbi Shlomo Goren… there are clear directives with regard to orders that contradict Halacha” as follows:
  “If the soldier is convinced that the order contradicts Halacha, he is not to carry out the order.”
These 7 rabbis also made it crystal clear to Barak that “protection for religious soldiers from being coerced into carrying out acts that contradict their religious beliefs was built into the IDF’s military codes.” They also cited the book “Piskei Hilchot Tzava” (Halachic Rulings of the Army) written by Shlomo Goren with a Chief-of-Staff’s emblem on it. These rabbis also demanded that Barak “stop transgressing” “explicit” IDF “written directives” as follows:
“We demand that the defense establishment and those who stand at its head follow directives enshrined as law in IDF regulations. We call on them to stop transgressing these explicit, written directives, which have governed the IDF since it was first established and which enabled religious soldiers to adhere to commandments while serving.”
IN THIS WRITER'S VIEW, RABBI GOREN AND HIS 7 TORAH OBSERVANTPROTÉGÉS IN ISRAEL WERE PREDESTINED IN GOD'S DIVINE WILL – FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
It is time for a Torah observant Prime Minister with a Makabim righteous spirit to lead the State of Israel.
It is time for all military leaders in the IDF to uphold the sacred Torah Law of Moshe like the Orthodox Zionist Major-General Rabbi Goren did before his death in 1994; or they shouldn’t lead the IDF.
It is time that non-religious leftists/atheists “violators of the covenant”; “traitors” to the State of Israel and Jewish People worldwide; and “conspirators” with Israel’s arch-enemies seeking to divide and destroy Eretz Yisrael from without and within  – be voted out of the Knesset and/or removed from office in loathsome shame. This includes all those seeking to illegally divide, relinquish, and destroy the “Holy” City of Jerusalem today. Without any legal authority or power to do so (pursuant to the 1922 “Mandate for Palestine” and under international law discussed in article posts on this Web Blog), they have already illegally made the enormous “mistake” of yielding and ceding precious “holy” land in Judea/Samaria/Gaza/Hebron to a "foreign power." Eretz Yisrael belongs to our Jewish People forever – not to Ishmaelite/Arab PLO/PA Palestinian “terrorists”! ENOUGH!
Finally, it is time for the “remnant of Jacob” to rise up like a “great lion” among all the heathen Gentile nations seeking to divide and destroy Israel. May the supernaturalfinger of God,” “fear of God,” and “fear of the Jews” manifest again in many ways – like it did in the 6-Day War of “miracles.” So be it!

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Prov. 28:1)
“And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of the sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.” (Micah 5:8,9)
“God brought him [Israel] forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee [Israel], and cursed is he that curseth thee.” – Balaam’s blessings upon Israel (Num. 24:8,9)
