Pursue peace, the Rav proclaimed, return the Land, Pikuach Nefesh overrides all. Such was his Da'as Torah. The Oslo disaster ensued. The government gave autonomy to the PLO, gave them weapons, and called it peace. The Arabs called it war and used the acquired freedom and the received weapons to shoot Jews and explode busses. Who would believe it? Pikuach Nefesh! Go tell the victims, the families and friends of the 1500 murdered Jews, the myriads of wounded.
Astonishingly, the rebellion continued. Da'as Torah brought us another disaster. We shall not forget the dates: 10 Tevet 5765 and 9 Av 5765.
Da'as Torah brought us the Disengagement. The absurd, senseless, and wanton destruction of the life's work of thousands of productive Jews, the destruction of Jewish villages, Jewish industry, Jewish agriculture, Jewish learning institutes, synagogues, graves, without any reason, without any purpose.
Once more "Pikuach Nefesh" was claimed. Who can still bear hearing these words, uttered by "gedolim?" Too much they sound like "Sinat Chinam."
Pikuach Nefesh - Who would believe it? Only fools do not shiver at what is happening today. Very very dangerous rockets are transported from Egypt to the northern border of Gaza. Israel's major cities are becoming shooting targets.
The worship of man has evolved into outright rebellion. The Chabad heresy is challenging the first commandment. It seeks to replace the proper longing for Moshiach, and to demolish the proper perception of the Divine. Myriads of souls it has caught. A complementary mirror image is found in the world of Da'as Torah. Having enslaved the many souls of their insulated communities, the "gedolim" have come to use their power to challenge the commandment to settle the Land of Israel, and to fight the miraculous settling that has already occurred.
When rockets are fired from Gaza, all understand that the Arabs did it. Most will acknowledge that the Left enabled the Arabs to fire. The standing challenge is to clearly and loudly identify the enablers of the Left, and to fight them with the sword of the truth.
