Kerry Warned by Rabbis He Will Share Fate of Haman, Quitting Politics!
“Conspire a plan and it will be frustrated; talk the talk and it will not be fulfilled, for G-d is with us!” (Isaiah 9:5)
(Photo: Facebook) A group of rabbis in Israel known for their right-wing views have written an open letter to U.S. Secretary John Kerry, chastising him for the political upheaval Kerry has brought upon Israel. The letter was sent by the Committee to Save the Land and People of Israel which is associated with the Our Land of Israel Party, an activist organization that opposes any territorial concessions or political agreements with the Palestinians.
The letter was signed by Rabbi Sholom Dov Wolpo (founder of Our Land of Israel party), along with four other rabbis including Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, the founder and Chairman of the Temple Institute; Rabbi Yigal Pizam, the Dean of a Yeshiva and a leader of the Chabad community in the Haifa neighborhood of Kiryat Shmuel; Rabbi Gedalya Axelrod, the emeritus head of the Haifa Rabbinic Court; and Rabbi Ben Tziyon Grossman from the town of Migdal Haemek.
In the letter, the rabbis said that Kerry had openly declared war on G-d through his peace mediation efforts between Israel and the Palestinians. They warned Kerry that he should stop all peacemaking efforts in order to avoid divine punishment.
“By the power of our Holy Torah, we admonish you to cease immediately all efforts to achieve these disastrous agreements – in order to avoid severe Heavenly punishment for everyone involved,” the rabbis threatened.
The rabbis argue that Kerry’s peace framework puts the lives of Israeli Jews in danger by bringing them within close range of potential rocket and missile attacks from the West Bank.
“Your incessant efforts to expropriate integral parts of our Holy Land and hand them over to Abbas’s terrorist gang, amount to a declaration of war against the Creator and Ruler of the universe! For G-d awarded the entire Land of Israel to our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in order that they bequeath it, as an everlasting inheritance, to their descendants, the Jewish people, until the end of all time,” the letter reads.
The rabbis view Kerry’s peace initiative as “destructive” and that it “will ensure your everlasting disgrace in Jewish history for bringing calamity upon the Jewish people – like Nebuchadnezzar and Titus who destroyed respectively, the first and second great Temples and the entire Holy City of Jerusalem, and who, by Heavenly punishment, brought eventual disaster upon themselves too.”
In related news, Kerry announced to CNN yesterday that he will be quitting politics once his term as Secretary of State is completed. He has “no plans whatsoever” to run as a future Democratic candidate for president and will be retiring completely from politics.
“This is my last stop,” Kerry told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
As Secretary of State, Kerry has placed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as one of the highest priorities on his agenda. Having made 11 trips to the Middle-Eastern region so far, critics of Kerry have called the Secretary of State obsessed with making peace in the Middle East.
Kerry came under fire recently when comments he made at the Munich Conference came off as threatening Israel with increased boycotts should they fail to make peace with the Palestinians. Kerry defended his comments when he told CNN, “My comments need to be properly represented, not distorted. I did not do anything except cite what other people are talking about as a problem.”
“But I also have always opposed boycotts,” Kerry said. “I have 100 percent voting record in support of Israel for 29 years in the United States Senate. Unfortunately, there are some people in Israel and in Palestine and in the Arab World and around the world that don’t support the peace process.”
When it comes to his critics, Kerry is unflinching to their criticism. “I’ve been, quote ‘attacked’ before by people using real bullets, not words. And I am not going to be intimidated,” he told Tapper.
Kerry’s full interview will be aired later today on CNN.
