Is it true that "ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH FAITH?

Question

AND TORAH LAW THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE FORBIDDEN TO HAVE THEIR OWN STATE WHILE AWAITING THE MESSIANIC ERA"?

The Creator gave us the Holy Land thousands of years ago. Yet, when we sinned, He took it away and sent us into exile. Since that time our task is to wait for Him to send the Messiah. At that time, the Creator alone, without any human being lifting a hand or saying a word, will bring us together and take us out of exile. He will likewise establish universal peace among all mankind and all will serve Him in good will.

Some religious Jews, confused by Zionist propaganda quote Biblical verses that state that G-d gave the children of Israel the Holy Land. They overlook, unfortunately, those verses which say that He took it away due to our sins. They further ignore those prophecies which explicitly describe the last exile's conclusion as a Divine, not a human process.

The Creator has commanded every Jew to follow the ways of peace and to be loyal to the country where he lives.

Torah true Jewry waits patiently for the Messianic redemption. They have nothing to do with any kind of pseudo "Jewish State" and its aggressions against other peoples. They have a deep sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians who have suffered the most from Zionism's false teachings and barbaric actions. The Zionist state is not a Jewish state. The Zionists alone are the only ones responsible for their actions. Authentic Jewry has and will continue to oppose the very existence of this blasphemous state.

What do Jews have to say about this? Christians also, this is in your scripture also. What do you think?

Answer 1

Its very true. Unfortunately, even we Christians over look those particular Biblical verses and have fallen sway to Zionist teachings. If someone would step up and take the religeous fervor out of both sides of the Middle East conflicts, there might be peace across all of the Middle East. But what do I know, I'm a secular Christian.

Answer 2

I cannot answer this question with certainty, but I can assure you of some facts:

1-I can never believe that a GOD may prefer some of his human creatures to the others. Someone who does so can never deserve being a God. A God must be justful, or must even represent and embody the absolute value referred to as "justice."

2-Isn't it strange that a God may ever ask one of his prophets not to leave a single person alive in all the towns he invades?!! What God is this? I think even the "Undertaker" (wrestling superstar) cannot ask for such a thing if he were to be a God!!!!

3-I am so confused about another point. Why do many western christian countries hate muslims but have tolerance and sympathy when it comes to judaism, although it was the jews who had made all the mistakes that harmed Jesus Christ? Is it a sort of stereotyping? Or is it the result of zionist propaganda that makes great use of the holocaust?

Sorry for being a bit off-point.

Answer 3

The source for your quote is Neturei Karta, a small group of religious Jews who are known for their anti Zionism. However, even other religious anti Zionists groups, such as Satmar, have condemned them for their antics.

My point being is that they are not a reliable source for what is considered acceptable according to Jewish religious law.

Also, a majority of religious Jews are either Zionist or non Zionist and thus are a majority pro Israel. There is no conflict between this and Halacha (Jewish religious law).

Answer 4

The God of Israel gave the land from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates to Israel as an EVERLASTING covenant.

The Land is Israel’s for ever, upon this earth and throughout eternity (Gen.15:18, Eze.37:25 below).


Gen.15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

Eze.37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have GIVEN unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for ever (Gen.13:17, Gen.15:18, Gen.17:19, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13): and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.

Answer 5

Rabbis (religious scholars) have differing opinions on this subject. Some say wait for the messiah. Others say the messiah waits for us.

As with most things, ask two Jews and get three opinions. Gevald. You should see the discussions I've had with mine cousin. [Said with a Brooklyn-Yiddish accent, like mine cousin's.]
