You may want to review Hil. Avodah Zara pereq 10. (Please use an uncensored version e.g. R' Qafah or Maqbili)<br /><br />BTW, Hillul HaShem is a halachic status of an action or actions. Yet, you have failed to state how this was a Hillul HaShem al pi halacha.<br /><br />R' Shmuel Eliyahu presented a halachic argument. If you want to refute it, please do so with halachic sources.<br /><br />P. S. When are the Mamlakhti FINALLY going to see that there ARE stiroth between halacha and Israeli Law, and that those stiroth are on the steady increase?<br /><br /><a href="http://esseragaroth.blogspot.com/2010/12/esser-agaroth-on-rca.html" rel="nofollow">Esser Agaroth On The RCA</a><br /><br /><a href="http://jewishfist.blogspot.com/2011/01/pop-quiz-for-rca.html" rel="nofollow">A Pop Quiz For The RCA</a>Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-60987550231451793132011-01-07T17:54:00.867+02:002011-01-07T17:54:00.867+02:00you may find this post enlightening - a halachic p...you may find this post enlightening - a halachic perspective.<br />http://www.torahlab.org/doitright/lo_sichaneim_do_not_grant_them_favor/Tzvi Haberhttp://torahlab.org/doitrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-13274581364184844382010-12-29T18:34:27.333+02:002010-12-29T18:34:27.333+02:00"The Hillul HaShem is an expression of their ..."The Hillul HaShem is an expression of their inability to communicate Jewish concerns in a manner that can command anything close to respect."<br /><br />Thank you for this thought.

Does it apply in what is considered a "Jewish neighborhood" in Eretz Israel or outside it? Does it take into account that here in Eretz Israel the Arabs (as a group) view themselves as being in a permanent state of war with the Jews and that intend to retake possession of the land in the country? Would the Rav himself sell his house to an Arab, or would be be "machmir" like the RAMBAM on himself and not do so? If a prince from an Arab Gulf State were to come to Alon Shevut and offer 30 residents there twice the value of the houses in order to purchase them and set up a neighborhood for Arabs, would the Rav say they should take this good offer, according to Tosafot? Would the Rav say that the yishuv should set aside public land in the yishuv then be set aside for a mosque to be built for the convenience of the new residents?Y.

The only thing I'd add, and you covered this in general terms, is that the ban as stated greatly undermines our many friends and supporters around the world who's support is often based on our "shared values".Michael Lipkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501487897038161582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030144.post-29072630991921745162010-12-15T17:41:40.543+02:002010-12-15T17:41:40.543+02:00agree with pretty much everything. an important p...agree with pretty much everything. an important point which undergirds basically everything you are saying is the crying need for broader education among the rabbinate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
