The Rabbi Mordechai Eliyhu Flip Flop

Rabbi Modechai Eliyahu has now withdrawn his statements urging soldiers to disobey orders. He also has this to say about his 'prophcey' that Disengagement would not happen:

Eliahu has been criticized by religious Zionist rabbis for promising thousands of his followers, many of whom are former residents of the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, that disengagement would never happen.

Asked what he had to say to those settlers who suffered material losses, because they believed his promises and did not pack up their belongings or cooperate with the government, Eliahu replied: "From the beginning I always said to the settlers that they need to act according to their level of confidence in God. Someone who is afraid, I said, should evacuate and leave and do what he thinks is right. Someone with more confidence in God should pack but not leave and someone with even more confidence should not even pack."

Eliahu said that those settlers who had confidence in God and did not pack would receive a heavenly reward.

And those who packed but did not leave? Why, they get nothing!?! Their faith was not great enough!?!

What utter bulls*#t! Mordechai Eliyahu was wrong, he damaged many Jews and did so when claiming 'prophecy.' The man is either a fool or a false prophet. Either way, he should be ashamed and should with draw from public life immediately.

This is the nature of the $100 promise

It is true. But what does "true" mean? If it means "reliable", then he lied. If it means "able to explain away falsehood", of what use was the promise?

Definition 1 was definitely the implication here. Will Rav Eliyahu pay back the people who relied on him?

Shame on you, mocking the words of the Holy. You are a fucken animal. Go to hell, the only place where you belong

True Story:
Many years ago a Israeli fellow came to the shul needing money, claimed something about he got some education job with the University and that money would come in but in the meanwhile he needed money for an apartment and such.
So he stung some people before it was found out he was a con man.
SOmebody said regarding the stung victims. "that was worth a college degree"

I would hope that people that listen to such rabbis (and lose much property) will start to use their brains.

So shmarya what started as an anti-rebbe blog has become an anti jewsih blog, you are aginst all rabbi's and anything jewish.

Do you think you have to understand everthing? It's people like you that started the enlightment movment (reform.....), they had to understand everything in their ways of logic and if it didn't make sense according to them then that was it, it was cut away from yiddishkeit becuase it made no sense.

(the only dif between you and them is that at least they were smarter people and just wanted to really understand, but you are a dumb idiot and just hate other jews, i wonder if you are bichlal jewish, there are three signs of a jew and you dont seem to have them.)
