THE ILLUSION CALLED PALESTINE

from Deeper Look At The Parsha · host Rabbi Pini Dunner

Western governments are rushing to recognize a Palestinian state — but what they are really recognizing is an illusion. Like Voltaire’s famous quip about the Holy Roman Empire, “Palestine” is neither real nor a state. Parshat Re’eh warns against false prophets. Rabbi Dunner shows how rewarding terror with statehood is a false prophecy that imperils truth, justice, and stability.
