Stop hating

Rabbi lord Jonathan sacks is a great man who yes has different views than chabad but a difference in opionan does not call for hate! Living in London I often see the rabbi and I am in close contact with people who know him well all who agree Jonathan sacks is a lovely individual.

He never said I support the two state solution.

He doesn’t say that he’s in favor of the 2 state solution. He just said that he supports that there should be a Palestinian state. He means the Arabs should have another piece of land far away from Israel. I don’t agree because the Arabs already have tons of land, but at least quote him correctly.

Rabbi Sacks ever said he supports a 2 state solution. He said he supports a palestenian State. He never said that it needs to be in Israel. All he did was reference that Israel offered Palestinians land before but they rejected it.

Oh what an outrageous outrage

This video about a two state solution is all about a two state solution. I wish that Rabbi Sacks would make a video about the BDS movement so that I could sit at my computer and comment about the BDS movement. But all Rabbi Sacks has done here is make a video about a two state solution. How outrageous. This video about a two state solution which speaks about a two state solution should at least mention the BDS movement. Then I wouldn’t be so outraged. But I am. Because I can type.

BS’D
The Rebe, Moshe Rabeinu of our generation, is totally against an Arab state inside our (Jewish) Holy Land. He says that even to speak about “autonomy” endangers Jewish lives!

Rabbi Sacks is not an authority on these matters

Though Rabbi Sacks has enjoyed a close relationship with Chabad, most people are not aware of his views on Israel. He has publicly supported Palestine and is not a supporter of Israel at all. People should not look to him for advice on these matters.

Rabbi Sacks?

He supports a pali state? Does he not know history before 1948? Very wrong message to support this. They have their own country called Jordan. Do some research.

He supports two state solution????!!!!!

Please explain and clarify, Rabbi Sacks says he supports a two state solution? He just said that loud and clear…. please explain yourself before I official BDS Rabbi Sacks.

the Rebbe

if I remember correctly, the rebbe was only against a 2 state solution because giving them land puts us in danger. However, if theoretically speaking there were to be no danger at all and only peace the Rebbe would be pro such a solution – sadly its just not practical

Very surprised

That Rabbi Sacks is in favour of a Palestinian state, I hope he means in Jordan.. Other than that the video was nice.

Surprised

I was surprised to heard the 2 state solution from Rabbi JS
Most of Jews in Israel also want a 2 state solution , they live there and they think that logically things are going to get much easier at least in the short run
I didn’t know this reality , I have a WhatsApp chat with more than 100 Jews from school time and approx. half of them live in Israel and almost everyone want a 2 state solution and don’t understand how the Palestinians don’t want it

After he moves to Israel, he will be an educated consumer

until then – anyone who thinks a two state solution is a good idea, doesn’t know what they’re talking about. There are loads of Muslims in England – maybe we should ship all our loving neighbors to his part of the world and he can create a two state solution there.

This two state solution will portend the physical death of Israel, not moral, as the rabbi does not say. Ask generals.
The good rabbi should read more.

This is insane

In favor of a two state solution negates all the nice pictures and half baked facts. I am beyond surprised to hear rabbi sacks put the terrorists on equal moral ground with Israel. This is insanity.
