This is not the first time that cowardly Jews have been the cause of suffering because of their fear of offending the gentile.

This is not the first time that cowardly Jews have been the cause of suffering because of their fear of offending the gentile. 

At the time of the horrendous holocaust, the United States had the opportunity to blow up the railroad tracks and thereby stop (or at least minimize) the journeys of the trains to the death camps. There were Jews who knew what was happening and put pressure on the US President of the time (Roosevelt) to give the instruction to do so. However, certain Jews came forth and silenced the matter with the argument that it is forbidden to exert pressure on the President of the United States because of the law ‘do not offend even a minor nation’. Among them there were also Rabbis who had received false information and argued that it is forbidden to be in conflict with Washington! Great numbers of Jews could have been saved from annihilation had the US blown up the railroad lines.

Today those Rabbis have their disciples who influence the conduct of the US and Israel. Shamelessly they utilize their influence in exactly the same way. When confronted with the argument: “See what you did in the past. All the fasts you will undertake will not be sufficient to atone for the hundreds of thousands of Jewish People who were murdered in the wake of your influence not to say a word against Washington. At least today take a back seat!” Not only do they not take notice of this argument, but to the contrary, they continue to play the role of “Your destroyers and annihilators will come forth from among you" (the Jewish People) [Isaiah 39.17]. We find ourselves at a time of war preparations.

There is no time to influence or educate the timid ones to stop being fearful and weak hearted. We cannot even be certain that we will succeed because even to tell him of the results of his previous actions will not help. Therefore what can be expected of him now is “go back home” and resign his responsibilities. This is a clear ruling in the Code of Jewish Law. To our pain, all necessary conditions enumerated there exist now: ‘Go out to war fully armed to protect all locations whereby the Land can easily be conquered".

This conduct is demanded where the danger is no more than a faint possibility, certainly in our situation of certain threat to life. There are Jews today, certainly one Jew, who is afraid of the nations. He is used to receiving from them honors, and has come to the conclusion that the ultimate state of perfection for him in this world is, that they should say that he is a good man. For this he is prepared to endanger the Jewish People. 

Now is not the time to educate him since every moment that the borders are not being settled, the Jewish people are being endangered, may G-d Protect us! It is possible to settle the borders in a very short time, in a moment. The situation demands action. The army is prepared to move in, yet he won’t permit it because of his fear. He must resign! Whoever is concerned for the life of even one Jew must do all in his power that all borders be settled. 

By not doing so, it is interpreted by the world community as Israel’s fear. The pressure of handing over Hebron, the Old City of Jerusalem, and all of the territories will be averted, and Israel will show the world that she is not intimidated and many Jewish lives will be saved. Every moment that those who are able to utilize their influence that the borders should be settled but do not do so, they shoulder the responsibility.
