Great lecture of Rabbi Mizrachi

<< < (2/2)

Here is the section I transcribed from that Rabbi Mizrachi lecture where he answers the question "Why do most Rabbis fear telling the truth like Rabbi Kahane told the truth?"


1:13

Rabbi Mizrachi:
You mention Rabbi Meir Kahane

Rabbi Kahane was very strict, he spoke the truth in the face of the Arabs
He wasnt one in his heart, one in his mouth
Everything he thought he was saying in their face.
They used to come to his lectures and argue with him
And he told them in their face, "The land doesn't belong to you!"
"It belongs to us, we're doing you a favor that we are willing to pay you to leave the land."
How many people were against him.
What was his end?
He got killed.
Why?
Because the people who say the truth sometimes they pay a heavy price for it.
But I want to give you another example.
The prophet Yishaiah , one of the greatest prophets we had.
What happened to him?
Got killed by his own grandson.
His grandson was a wicked king. Menashe.
He sliced him to slices with the sword
You understand why? Because he told him the truth.
Baruch Hashem it hasn't happened to me yet.

q_q_:
muman.. that was very good and accurate to transcribe it.. a summary would have been fine because there wasn't much that he said.

just Kahane Was Right - in different words.  He was careful to only say that he spoke the truth to the arabs..

It was a very safe thing to say.. Totally avoiding any issue where he disagreed with kahane.  He is not a religious zionist.

The site is currently down, but they did make a forum (I just registered and I think that one can access lectures by signing on- I'll check right now).

I just signed up for the TorahAnyTime forums... Not many sections there yet but it is a good idea.
