"Ac...Aharon,<br /><br />You missed the note at the end:<br /><br />"According to the Ramba"m (Teshuvah 148), and the Beth Yosef and the [uncensored] Ba"H (Rabbi Yoel Sirkish) in their respective commentaries on the Tur, Lo Tehonem, ALL hold that the use of the term 'oved 'avodah zarah indicates a goy who does not keep the Seven Torah Commandments of B'nei No'ah."<br /><br />Also, the reference to the verses in Bamidbar were to show the "I told you so" nature of what is occuring.<br /><br />When I was in the bomb attach on 9 Tammuz, 12 years ago, I received shrapnel in my "side," while another boy, received "stingers in his eyes."<br /><br />I agree with what you said about such speculation. Yet, it just continues and continues and continues.Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-86788605451810157042014-07-02T11:41:33.185+03:002014-07-02T11:41:33.185+03:00I knew before I even saw this post that you were g...I knew before I even saw this post that you were going to write something along the lines of "this occurred because the gov't doesn't follow the torah". As far as the first three people quoted (which I know don't necessarily reflect your own views), I am not a big fan of trying to play connect the dots. People need to stop trying to pretend their prophets and act like the know why these happens. As far as the commandment to drive the inhabitants out of the land, quoted from Bamidbar, I believe that is only referring to the 7 Caananite groups. While I dont agree with all of the decisions by the government either, neither they or the "mamlachti" Rabbis are the cause of a pagua. you can argue that the gov't doesnt do enough to prevent terrorism, or that its a national security problem to let our enemies live with us. Terrorist attacks are caused by the terrorists themselves. So I would say that they were killed due to a savage culture with no regard for human life.<br /><br />p.s. much chapter 10 of the Rambam's avodah zara refers to idol worshipers, not all goyim. Most poskim do not hold that Ishmalites are idol worships. Though I think we would both agree that a large number (maybe the majority) of them would not be considered ger toshavAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32118121.post-2845740795569349962014-06-30T23:12:17.060+03:002014-06-30T23:12:17.060+03:00Dear Esser Agaroth,

I apologize for my impatience.<br /><br />I know that you, of all people, would not be ignorant of what happened! <br /><br />There is no comforting us. Too many of us have been the victims of damned arabs. We need to learn to fight - and not just through the army. We civilians need to be able to chase our enemies out too!HDG, Yerushalayim, E"Y Shlemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943174572566458612noreply@blogger.com
