Are you asking whether Jews should have a homeland (Israel) or live within other nations?Robanan wrote:Neturei Karta International issued a statement on October 28, 2005,
Within the abovemnetioned statement. I found the following Quote most intresting:
So I have a question: "Do you think that the Jewish are to mix with other nations or to live friendly within other nations?"Orthodox Jews have always prayed and till today, continually pray for the speedy and peaceful dismantling of the Zionist state. As per the teachings of the Torah, the Jewish law, the Jewish people are required to be loyal, upstanding citizens, in all of the countries wherein they reside. They are expressly forbidden to have their own entity or state in any form or configuration in this Heavenly decreed exile. Furthermore, the exemplification of one-self, with acts of compassion and goodness, is of the essence of Judaism. To subjugate and oppress a people, to steal their land, homes and orchards, etc., is of the cardinal sins, of the basic crimes, forbidden by the Torah.
Well if it is I say both then. The state of Israel has been in existence for 50+ years and millions of Jews live there now. So dismantling the state would not be practical, instead efforts towards a two state solution where Palestinians and Jews can live in peace side by side is for the best IMO, and that's in the process of being made true, but it's probably going to take along time for that to be fully achieved.
