THIS Is Exile, Too!

4 Elul 5785 

Just like when we were ruled by the Greeks or the Romans!

Trump expressed hope that a full conquest could be avoided and an agreement reached beforehand.

Tony Blair and Jared Kushner participated in a meeting on Gaza at the White House on Wednesday and presented President Trump with ideas for a post-war plan,....

▪️EGYPT TRAINING PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY TO TAKE OVER GAZA? Wall Street Journal: Egypt has begun training Palestinians to be part of a force of up to 10,000 soldiers who will 'provide security' for the Gaza Strip, and in fact will control it in the day after the war. According to the report, most of the recruits will come from the Palestinian Authority security services in the West Bank.

Exile will end when we are free of the domination of the nations...
The idea is most famously articulated in the teachings of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag, also known as the Baal HaSulam, who focused on Kabbalistic and Hasidic thought in the early 20th century. His work elaborated on the distinctions between the state of exile (galut) and the state of redemption (geulah).

Key elements of this theological concept:

The nature of exile (galut): In this view, exile is not defined solely by the physical dispersion of the Jewish people. It is fundamentally a spiritual state of subjugation where the Jewish people and the divine are subject to the will of other nations and forces. This involves both physical oppression and spiritual concealment.

The nature of redemption (geulah): Redemption is the restoration of freedom and honor. It is a state where the Jewish people live in their own land, their sovereignty is established, and God's glory is revealed to the world. It is the spiritual and physical reversal of the conditions of exile.

The central distinction: The core difference lies in the shift from being a subjugated people under the rule of others to a sovereign nation with self-determination. This transition from domination to self-rule signifies the end of the exiled state and the beginning of the redeemed one.  (Source: Google)

This situation of complete sovereignty has never yet been realized in the modern era.  The State of Israel has only always been a vassal state.  May the end of this war realize the vision of complete sovereignty of Jews in the Land of Israel - a Final End to Exile!

  1. Trump has not pushed a Gaza "deal." In fact he and Rubio both said that nothing short of the release of all hostages and the complete defeat of hamas is acceptable. They refused to respond to the so called mediators.

    1. All either of us has to go on is whatever is reported. This, however, has been very consistent over the long haul. "Deals" are what Don does best...

      When asked why he was optimistic about reaching a hostage and ceasefire deal, Witkoff stated that the Trump administration expects the conflict to end by 2026.

      “We think we’re going to settle this one way or another, certainly before the end of this year,” he said.

      “Hamas is signaling that they’re open to a settlement. The Israelis, when they announced this operation, also announced at the same time that they were funding $600 million of aid to go into Gaza, and in addition to that, they also announced that they were open to continuing discussions with Hamas.”

      "It's not a maximalist approach on the Israeli's part. They are indicating that they have accommodations to make if Hamas decides to make them."

  2. Nothing makes sense today; one doesn't know what to believe, since most everything turns out to be lies.
    What irks me when I read about this horror that Am Yisrael went through, and the utter chutzpah, insanity that Chamas, yshv'z, and
    audacity of them talking about a 'settlement';. they were 'totally defeated' and lost, they have no say! Instead, the world demands (talking of chutzpah) we feed them, worry about them and make 'deals' with them. NO DEALS FOR THE WICKED!
