(IsraelNN.com) Large numbers of Chabad
Chassidim from World Lubavitch Headquarters at 770
Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, New York, are expected to join in a
massive protest against the creation of a Palestinian state on Monday,
traveling to Washington DC by bus to
express their outrage in front of the White House.
Publicized on the popular Chabad website Chabad.info,
Chabad Chassidim are invited to board free buses from Crown Heights
and Manhattan for a day-long excursion to Washington,
marked as a protest and show of support for Israel.
Timed to synchronize with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's first diplomatic visit in
Washington since the assumption of the US presidency by Barack Hussein
Obama, the May 18 protest will elaborate spiritual and security reasons
why the establishment of a Palestinian Authority state on land biblically
assigned to the Jewish people would bring disastrous results.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson, the spiritual leader of
Chabad Lubavitch and a rabbi accepted by many as the greatest of the last
generation, adamantly opposed the surrender of Israeli land tracts to
other nations, and argued that Israeli politicians should not even
discuss the possibility.
In the book 'When Silence Is a Sin,'
published hastily by Sichos in English in 2005 in a bid to thwart the
expulsion of Jews from the Gaza region's Gush Katif communities by the
Sharon government, Rabbi Schneerson emphasized the spiritual value of
Jews uniting in protest against schemes of enemy
nations.
He also urged Jews to settle all parts of the Land of Israel, establishing synagogues, Torah study centers, and mikvahs wherever they
go, as a means of forestalling international pressure and providing
security for Jews in the Land of Israel. Furthermore, the
Lubavitcher Rebbe suggested that settlement of all parts of Israel by
Jews would even affect the other nations of the world, who would come to
reject evil and assist the Jews as a result.
Monday's protest will seek to impart these and other
messages to the Israeli and U.S. leaders in Washington.
According to organizers and co-participants in the
demonstration, U.S.-based AMCHA and well-known activist Yosef Rabin, numerous reasons should encourage
Netanyahu to reject U.S. pressure to create a Palestinian
Authority state.
To set up the world's 24th Muslim state, say
organizers, approximately 300,000 Jews would be forcibly expelled from
their homes in Judea and Samaria. The
surrender of the Judea-Samarian mountain range would leave almost all of
Israel's major cities exposed to attack, not to mention the Temple Mount and its environs. Also at
risk, say protest leaders, is Israel's water supply, one-third of which
would be transferred to Arab control as a part of land concessions.
Convicted murderers, criminals, and terrorists would
also be released back to Arab society as part of a state deal, further
endangering Jews.
Those interested in joining the protest are encouraged
to meet the group at Lafayette Park across from the White House from
10:00 am to 3:00 pm, rain or shine
