In reply to Actually the Rebbe defended the zealot. Can you please also post the clip from the end of the speech where he does mention Hashem, how Hashem will help us win the war?

In reply to Inyono deyomo!. The Rebbe defended Pinchos for his zealosness in attacking Zimri. The Rebbe's message: Don't be critical of those who speak up for Yiddishkeit and say that they are looking to be negative.

Just in this Parshe, the phenomenal sicha (chelek 8) of those who criticized Pinchos (dissecting and discrediting how good he did, commenting that he did it for his negative and cruel impulse inherited from his grandfather etc) and the lessson the Rebbe takes and gives to us: if someone did something good, do not seek to detract from it! Obviously it could have been better or did it for some interest etc etc etc but do not open your mouth (or dont write) and discredit what he did !!

In reply to Perspective.

I agree that it’s important to emphasize the good in people.
It is experienced in so many areas in Chassidus etc that Speaking about the good of a person, brings out the good even more.
May Hashem bless Bibi to continue to have the strength to be strong and always do what’s right!!!

I think it’s important to put things in perspective. The tone seems to disapprove of Netanyahu for not using the exact argument The Rebbe said. It is true that following The Rebbes advice and strategy to a tee is the surest way to victory. However, did you think Netanyahu is a Lubavitcher chossid? Is he Moshiach?

In the beginning of the war, I never heard him mention Hashem, only the bravery of the idf etc. the fact that he has since put on tefillin and shared publicly, is mentioning Hashem, and now gave a speech quoting pesukim, affirming that Eretz Yisrael is Jewish period, and mentioning Hashem is amazing growth!! We should be applauding that, not denigrating him for not being perfect. It’s not all or nothing.

And to be honest, it will be very hard for a politician who isn’t frum to give The Rebbes argument because he is fully aware that he himself doesn’t live according to the Torah, so why would he want to open himself up to attack- oh you base your claim to the Land on the Bible, but you don’t care for the Bible in your personal life- how hypocritical etc.

Just saying we should strengthen the growth we see and encourage it further…

In reply to That’s not how American Christians perceive it. I hear your point, but the Rebbe was stalking about how to talk to the nations, most significantly America, and he clearly said not to mention the historical claim but mention Hashem and his promise. Apparently there is a need to spell it out clearly.

I see many people are overexcited by Netanyahu’s speech. I appreciate Anash.org providing the Rebbe’s shita.

You can see with plain eyes how right the Rebbe was! You see how enthusiastic they are at the simple statement that Eretz Yisroel is ours from Biblical times. Every believing Christian knows this to be true.

If only he would get up and say the whole truth that G-d gave it to us (and believe in it!), we would have the Christians firmly behind us, and the others would slowly dissipate before the truth.

As the Rebbeim famously said: In the face of truth, all become nullified.

By Bibi referencing verses and people from the Bible, Americans understand him that Eretz Yisrael is a land that the Torah / HaShem has given to the Jewish People.
They hear holy words they connect it to G-d and his Bible.
And that was his intended audience not Frum Orthodox Jews.

And also with regard to his plan for Gaza after the war, by leaving G-d out of the picture, he said he will give it to non- radicalized, non- militarized people. But it belongs to us!!
He mentioned G-d a few times in the speech, which is great. Now he needs to follow what G-d said- to claim the entire land, and not to give any of it away.
