During 5784, we were warned of the horrors that can befall us if we misjudge the innocent and instead favor the wicked.
The gematria of 5784 matches the 3 successive verses in Tehillim that read:
How long will you judge unjustly and favor the wicked forever?
עד מתי תשפטו עול ופני רשעים תשאו סלה
Judge the poor and orphan; justify the humble and the impoverished.
שפטו דל ויתום עני ורש הצדיקו
Release the poor and the needy; save [them] from the hands of [the] wicked.
פלטו דל ואביון מיד רשעים הצילו
We paid a heavy price on October 7, 2023 for appeasing the Hamas neighbors when according to Jewish law we should have taken the offensive - long before October 7th! We were obligated by Torah law to attack them and kill them! See Shulchan Aruch below. Not only did we not kill them, not only did we offer them food, water and electricity, we even allowed them to enter our borders to earn money.
The year after:
The gematria of 5785 matches this single verse in Torah:
Or if it was known that it was a [habitually] goring bull since yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner does not watch it, he shall surely pay a bull for a bull, and the dead body shall be his.
או נודע כי שור נגח הוא מתמול שלשם ולא ישמרנו בעליו שלם ישלם שור תחת השור והמת יהיה לו
Last year, 5785, we hesitated to kill the raging bull, allowing world opinion to stop us from destroying the enemy. Until today, in fact, the enemy still has water, food and electricity that sustains them - at our mercy. We must simpy destroy them with no compromise. Alas we paid a dear price this year as well in terms of human life.
I am not insinuating the solution is psychologically simple and that we must not consider saving the hostages, but according to Torah, the law is clear - we should stop all their access to food and electricty. We must obliterate them.
Now that 5786 is upon us, there are two successive verses in Torah - again related to a bull:
You shall bring the bull to the front of the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lean their hands upon the head of the bull.
והקרבת את הפר לפני אהל מועד וסמך אהרן ובניו את ידיהם על ראש הפר
You shall then slaughter the bull before the Lord, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
ושחטת את הפר לפני יהוה פתח אהל מועד
Again we see that in 5786, we need to slaughter the bull. Period.
What, in fact, is the Torah laws that apply to this "Palestinian"/Hamas question? We need look no further that Orach Chaim #329:
עכו"ם שצרו על עיירות ישראל אם באו על עסק ממון אין מחללין עליהם את השבת באו על עסק נפשות ואפי' סתם יוצאים עליהם בכלי זיין ומחללים עליהם את השבת ובעיר הסמוכה לספר אפילו לא באו אלא על עסקי תבן וקש מחללין עליהם את השבת: הגה ואפילו לא באו עדיין אלא רוצים לבא [א"ז]:
Regarding non-Jews who besiege Jewish cities: if they come for money, we do not desecrate the Shabbat [to protect ourselves], but if they came to kill or come with no presented reason, we go out with weapons and desecrate the Shabbat. In a city that is near the border, even if they just come for straw or hay, we desecrate the Shabbat. Rem"a: Even if they haven't come but they want to come (Or Zarua).
יש מי שאומר שבזמן הזה אפי' באו על עסקי ממון מחללין שאם לא יניחנו ישראל לשלול ולבוז ממונו יהרגנו והוי עסקי נפשות [ומ"מ הכל לפי הענין] (פסקי מהרי"א סי' ק"כ):
There is one who says that in our times, even if they come for money, we desecrate the Shabbat, because if we do not allow them to plunder the money, they will kill, and so it becomes a case of saving life. (In any event, everything is according to the situation(Piskei Mahara'i Chapter 156).)
This is the year (5786) it is incumbent upon us to slaughter the enemies at out borders - once and for all!
