During an early stage of Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628, the the Sasanian Persian ruler Khosrau II made a pact with the Jewish Reish Galusa Nechemia Ben Hushiel. By enlisting the aid of the Jews in their war effort against the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius they would grant the Jews an autonomy in the land of Israel. The Jewish army comprising of 20,000 Jewish soldiers joined the Sasanian army commanded by Shahrbaraz and conquered Antioch Syria. Thereafter they marched on to conquer Caesaria in Northern Israel . The army was then joined by Benjamin of Tiberias who enlisted and armed additional Jewish… Read more »
You ask: Can a group of Native Americans or Mexicans take over parts of Texas or Florida and claim that they are not occupying their own home? I answer: Firstly, possibly yes! Who says indians don’t have land rights to parts of today’s USA? Secondly, The Jews are the only nation alive today which have a credible claim to historical sovereignty over the land of Israel. Jews have lived there as indeginous people for some 2000 years from the time of Yehoshua, until the 6th century(!). and then again for another 750 years from the time of the Ramban, until… Read more »
She is so intense. He was amazing to stand strong in truth. One day the world will get it. For now, we suffer.
In 1948 the Israeli army had little and was attacked by strong enemies from all sides. Hashem saved us with something beyond physical nature. This happened again and again (56, 67, etc.). No country gives up their secret weapon. The Torah brings Hashem into the world and HaKol Kol Yaakov is stronger than haYadayim Yedai Eisav. There are a group that change Torah, go on campaigns against “chareidim” and call themselves Orthodox. They also campaign for “rights to gittin without counseling” making marriage without relevance and attacking the Jewish family at its core. Bennett has been supported by them and… Read more »
He’s awesome, Chabad should only vote for him!!
This is #12.
“What right do I have not to go to the army?” Assuming I am a bochur learning in yeshiva, than you should look for your answer in Shulchan Aruch and if you are Lubavitch I assume you would also want to look into the Rebbe’s teachings.
However your assumption is incorrect, as I am a woman…
Just in case you think women should go in the army (anything is possible when one relies on his own logic in matters that are governed by halacha), I direct you again to the above sources.
Best Wishes.
How can you call her an antisemite when she’s married to a Yid?
he backs up his talk with action when it counts (he’s part of the cabinet). Too often these guys are tough talkers on TV ( isn’t Bibi great at these interviews?) but fail to back it up when it really counts. i.e. not releasing terrorists or giving away land.
Big talker, why don’t you just packup & go to the army.
I’m not quite sure how convincing this argument is.
Can a group of Native Americans or Mexicans take over parts of Texas or Florida and claim that they are not occupying their own home?
THIS WOMEN IS IRANIAN MUSLEM AND VERY ANTISEMITE
Dont lecture bennet. What valid excuse do you have not to go to the army??
Are you all Mad???
Every chareidi in Israel knows what Bennet stands for. He hides behind this facade in the thin hope the chareidim will vote for him as prime minister. But he is aligned with Lapid, a wolf in sheeps clothing.
a kindness from Hashem that we have MK who speaks English, can argue with press, wears a yarmulkah & willing to criticize his own coalition partners. tremendous Kiddush Hashem
I see that there is desperate education necessary regarding what Bennett has been doing internally in Israel to frum life. Chabad is also very negatively affected. I hope someone will explain more in the following comments.

The Israeli High Court of Justice has ruled that Israel holds the West Bank under “belligerent occupation”.[7]
So Minister Naftali Bennett, you are fighting your own government !
(Of course the Jews have a G-d Given right to ALL of ‘The Holy Land.’
‘Nuff said.’
Bennett should run the country and straitened it for the coming of moshiach
And that’s the way it should be said ALL the time! Yashar koyach!
He is the only realist in the whole kenesset
is british with a MOSLIM father.
it is in her dna to talk like that
Is it just me or do Israeli advocates stink at Israeli advocacy.Israeli’s always seem nervous. We need people who can speak English well and confidently. Strong and intelligent.
good for him. there is two new mk’s in the knesset that say it the way it is…and its commendable. naftali bennet and yair lapid…yair lapid says yersulaim is the jews period..he says it the way it is…hes proud of it and always says its dovid hamelech city and its not mine to negotiate but dovid hamelechs and the Jewish people.
finally a man who speaks the truth what a pleasure to hear thos words so simply ststed
Well Done!!!
yasher koach, please speak out more about this, even more make a bumper sticker… one does not occupy ones own home
