JEWISH TASK FORCE

What The Bible Really Says
About Surrendering Jewish Land

(Originally published by JTF.ORG on July 21, 2004) Anti-Zionist Jews march with the PLO Nazi terrorist flag in support of Arab Muslim terrorism (July 9, 2004)

In return for legalized bribes to their corrupt "religious" institutions, supposedly Orthodox Jewish political parties like Agudah and Shas are willing to support Ariel Sharon's plan to surrender Israel's liberated lands (Yesha) to the Arab Muslim terrorists - Pictured above, Sharon's Bolshevik bulldozers tear down a Hilltop Youth outpost, desecrating sacred Jewish books and other holy Jewish objects

In an attempt to justify left-wing Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's evil plan to surrender the entire Gaza District and northern Samaria to the PLO terrorists, so-called Orthodox Jews have been involved in a campaign to deliberately lie about what the Bible and Torah Judaism define as the Land of Israel.

The anti-Zionist "religious" parties known as Shas and Agudah are willing to support Sharon's treasonous and suicidal retreat in exchange for government subsidies for their corrupt "religious" institutions.

Shas and Agudah have always been willing to sell out the whole State of Israel and the whole Jewish people in order to receive government money for their thieving "religious" organizations.

To justify this legalized bribery, Shas and Agudah twist and distort Torah Judaism beyond recognition.

In recent years, Agudah changed its name to the Torah Judaism Party. No name has ever been less appropriate for a political party. Agudah's real name should be the Anti-Torah, Anti-Judaism Party. Or the Bribe Us And We Will Give Away All Of Israel Party.

Anti-Zionist traitors like the "religious" politicians of Shas and Agudah opposed the creation of Israel and discourage young Israeli Jews from serving in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) - The best soldiers in the IDF are the Yesha Jews, who are also the heroic pioneers preventing Israel's suicidal surrender and the creation of a PLO terrorist state

Agudah was formed in the 1920s in Europe to combat the Zionist movement. In other words, to prevent the creation of a Jewish State.

Agudist rabbis and leaders warned European Jews that the Zionists were insane, and that Jews were safer and better off in Poland, Hungary, Germany and the rest of Europe than in the Land of Israel

The vast majority of those European Jews who listened to the Agudist rabbis and leaders were brutally murdered in the German gas chambers and ovens during the Holocaust.

Having learned nothing even after the horrific lessons of the Holocaust, the Agudists continued to oppose Zionism in 1948, when G-d miraculously resurrected the State of Israel after 2,000 years of nightmarish exile.

The fate of Jews who listened to Agudah, now known as the Torah Judaism Party - European Jews who believed in the assurances of their Agudah rabbis - that pre-World War II Europe was safer for them than Israel - were doomed to be the subjects of horrific Nazi "medical" experiments

Little Israel's breathtaking victories against all odds in the 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973 wars - in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy - still did not convince the Agudists that their cowardly anti-Zionism was wrong.

The Agudists have always supported Israeli retreats from Jewish land as long as Agudah was part of the coalition government making the retreats. In other words, as long as Agudah was being paid off with government subsidies for their shady "religious" institutions.

Shas, which falsely claims to represent the non-European Jews (Sephardim) of Israel, is the treasonous Sephardi equivalent of Agudah - Shas is anti-Zionist, supports Israel's suicidal territorial retreats, and enabled the 1993 Oslo "peace" accords which led to the murders of over 1,500 innocent Jewish men, women and children

Shas is a Sephardi (non-European) version of Agudah.

Like Agudah, Shas is anti-Zionist.

Like Agudah, Shas urges young Jews not to serve in the Israel Defense Forces.

Like Agudah, Shas supports suicidal Israeli retreats.

Like those of Agudah, the money-grubbing charlatans of Shas are surrendering Israel to Arab Muslim terrorism in return for Sharon's handouts to their phony "religious" schools, which are often non-existent - The grossly corrupt head of Shas, former Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, spent four years in prison for bribery and extortion. Long lines of Israeli businessmen and community leaders were forced to stand outside of Deri's office bringing him bribes in return for favors which he dispensed while a Cabinet minister of Israel. Blatant malfeasance is a constant of the Shas thieves, a number of whom, including some "rabbis," are currently under investigation by the Israeli authorities. (Shas chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Shas Party leader Eli Yishai are shown striking a deal with Ariel Sharon.)

In fact, when the Rabin-Peresite regime in 1993 sought to impose the infamous Oslo agreements with the PLO terrorists on the Jewish people, it was the support of Shas that enabled the Oslo disaster to pass the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) by a bare majority.

Without Shas' evil support, the Oslo agreements - which led to the mass murder of 1,500 innocent Jewish men, women and children - would never have been approved.

An Israeli soldier was murdered and five others wounded by an Arab Muslim terrorist bomb in the Gaza District (June 27, 2004)

Sharon is now formally conducting negotiations with Shas and Agudah to join his coalition government in order to ensure a Knesset majority for his plan to retreat from the Gaza District and northern Samaria.

As expected, the money-grubbing charlatans of Shas and Agudah have made it clear that they cannot wait to join Sharon's regime.

Sharon is also conducting negotations with the Bolshevik Labor Party to join his evil coalition government.

G-d will yet bring down Ariel Sharon, just as He has brought down every Israeli Prime Minister who has surrendered or sought to surrender any part of the Land of Israel

We continue to believe that G-d will eventually bring down the despicable Sharon regime. Every Israeli Prime Minister who has surrendered - or even sought to surrender - any part of the Land of Israel has been removed from office one way or another by G-d.

However, let us return to so-called Orthodox Jews distorting the Torah definition of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel).

These self-hating traitors claim that the Gaza District is not part of the Land of Israel.

"On that day, G-d made with Abram a covenant saying, 'To your seed, I have given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates." (Genesis 15:18)

Since the Bible clearly defines the southwestern boundary of the Land of Israel as the "river of Egypt," the Gaza District is indisputably an integral part of the Jewish homeland.

The Gaza District is indisputably an integral part of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel) - The Nile, which the majority of Talmudic sages regard as the western border of Israel, is indicated on the map by the red square. But even if, as a minority of Talmudic sages believe, the western border is Wadi El Arish, indicated by the purple square, there is no doubt that the entire Gaza District is part and parcel of the Jewish homeland. (As a further aid to understanding this issue, click on the image of the map or here for a much larger version which clearly and attractively shows the route of the Exodus and other features of the Jewish Sinai.)

The Torah (the first five books of the Jewish Bible) and the rest of the Tanach (Bible) repeatedly emphasize that Israel's southwestern boundary is the "river of Egypt." (See Numbers 34:5; Joshua 15:4; and Isaiah 27:12.)

What is the "river of Egypt"?

There is a machloket (dispute) among Talmudic sages about the definition of the "river of Egypt."

There are two different schools of thought:

1. Most Talmudic sources - such as Rashi, Targum Yonatan Ben Uziel and HaRav Yehuda Halevi translate "river of Egypt" as the Nile River. In his commentary on last week's parasha (Torah portion), Parashat Masei, Rashi says that the Nile River and the "river of Egypt" are one and the same (Bamidbar 34:5). HaRav Halevi (in the Kuzari) makes the same determination.

2. A minority of Talmudic sources - such as Rambam (in Hilchot Shabbat) and HaRav Saadya Gaon - contends that the "river of Egypt" is Wadi El Arish in the Sinai.

If the majority of Talmudic sages is correct - in claiming that the "river of Egypt" is the Nile - then the Land of Israel includes not only the Gaza District, and not only the vast Sinai, but all territory going far beyond the Sinai up to the Nile River. Again, this is the majority opinion of the Talmudic scholars whom all Torah-true Jews are required to follow.

It is completely forbidden even to consider surrendering a single inch of sacred Jewish soil - Arab Muslim terrorists raise the PLO terrorist flag over Bethlehem in July 2003

But even if the minority opinion in the Talmud is correct - in claiming that the "river of Egypt" is Wadi El Arish - then the Land of Israel still includes the entire Gaza District and roughly one-third of the Sinai.

Either way, there is absolutely no dispute that the Gaza District is an inseparable part of the eternal, G-d-given Land of Israel, and it is completely forbidden to even consider surrendering a single inch of this sacred Jewish soil under any circumstances whatsoever.

All self-hating Jews - including those claiming to be "religious" - who deliberately distort Torah Judaism are liars, frauds and traitors to the Jewish people - Ariel Sharon meets self-hating "Orthodox Jewish" U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) under a photograph of Marxist traitor David Ben Gurion, the first leader of resurrected Israel

Israel's "religious" parties are standing by and not attempting to prevent - or taking part in, for their personal ambition and profit - Ariel Sharon's frantic effort to vivisect the tiny Jewish homeland - The opportunist Shaul Yahalom of the National "Religious" Party dozes in the Knesset while Sharon proceeds with his work to destroy Israel

All self-hating Jews - including those who claim to be "religious" - who deliberately distort the clear teachings of Torah Judaism are liars, frauds and traitors to the Jewish people.

The only Torah-true political party that will bring G-d's blessings and protection to the Jewish people is the Chayil (Valor) Party of Jewish hero Baruch Marzel.
