COLlive.com presents Shabbos Night Live, a weekly web class with Torah thought, chassidic stories and timely inspiration.
Presented by Rabbi Shmuel Butman, Executive Director of the Central Lubavitch Youth Organization (Tzeirei Agudas Chabad Hamerkozis) and a long-time columnist and radio broadcaster.
The program is regularly viewed by Jews from all walks of life and from all over the world, including many rabbis and educators.
The Rebbe did not use those words in the conversation with this journalist, as is evident in the video of this encounter.
Loved the story of the Stoliner Rebbe & the Rebbe Rashab. The Rabbi’s interpretation was brilliant!
I have to ask you point blank,
How do you expect israel get rid of Hamas,without going in on ground. How do you destroy the tunnels without entering gaza??
The Rebbe said
אלו הרוצים להלחם עם ישראל הם לא זקוקים לסיבה מיוחדת. הם עושים זאת מאנטישמיות טהורה, כך שתמיד ימצאו את הסיבות להתנגד לישראל ואין שום נפקה מינה אם ישראל תתנהג כך או כך
These are the words of the Rebbe related in the program.
Incorrect, as you can see clearly in this unedited video of the exchange:

We have to destroy them completly from the air. We can then think how to go in.
The Rebbe once spoke about a similat situation in Lebanon.
It is clear from the Rebbe that they are out to fight Israel and it dosn’t make any differance if Israel will do “This way or that way” they will still fight us.
