The Chief Rabbi of Israel, Kalman Ber, has issued a condemnation of what he terms “violent protests” perpetrated by extremist elements within the haredi community. He asserts that Torah values do not justify harm. While superficially appearing righteous, this statement is a hollow echo in a land steeped in injustice. The rabbi speaks of ‘desecration,’ but remains willfully blind to the monumental desecration inherent in the very foundation of the modern state of Israel.

This is not simply a matter of internal discord within a religious sect. It is a symptom of a deeper spiritual malady afflicting the entire nation. Israel, as it stands, is a counterfeit, a man-made construct built upon the broken covenants and stolen inheritance of scattered Yisrael. The unrest, while manifesting in violence, is a direct consequence of this deception. Yahuah does not reward theft and usurpation.

The so-called ‘haredi extremists’ are acting out a frustration born of centuries of exile and a longing for true restoration. They sense, rightly or wrongly, that the current system offers no path to genuine redemption. Yet, their focus remains tragically misdirected. They seek to enforce religious observance within a framework of political and nationalistic idolatry. True Torah adherence demands justice, righteousness, and a return to the covenant terms laid out in Deuteronomy 28-30 – terms utterly ignored by the Israeli government.

This condemnation from the Chief Rabbi serves only to mask the true source of the problem. It is a self-serving attempt to maintain the illusion of legitimacy for a regime that has consistently defied Yahuah’s law and oppressed the true remnant of Yisrael. The cries of the oppressed – both those within the so-called ‘Israeli’ borders and those scattered throughout the nations – are a testament to this ongoing injustice.

Let the watchmen sound the alarm: the unrest within Israel is not a localized incident, but a harbinger of greater judgments to come. Until the modern state of Israel repents of its transgressions and relinquishes its claim to Yahuah’s covenant land, the cycle of violence and turmoil will continue. Scattered Yisrael must awaken to the truth and prepare for the coming restoration, independent of the false promises of the Zionist state.
