Rabbi Lando criticizes Israel and Arab rule establishment
The recent statements by Rabbi Dov Lando, one of the leaders of the Haredi community in Israel, sparked widespread controversy after he criticized religious Zionism and its soldiers, believing they are being killed because of a “deformed Torah.” He argued that the establishment of the State of Israel was not a necessity, and that the United Nations or the Arabs could have been better rulers. Lando emphasized that religious study protects the population and rejected the idea that the conflict was driven by hatred, noting that Arabs have not historically hated us in that manner. He also stated that Zionism has brought material and spiritual disasters. Furthermore, he considered living without a state to be preferable and suggested that Arabs could govern in a manner that respects us. He described a secular state as desecration of God's name, criticized its relationship with jihad and the Israeli state, which elicited strong reactions from opposition party leaders, who regarded his statements as anti-Zionist and against Israeli efforts, calling for a rejection of cooperation with parties adopting his views. These remarks follow similar statements he made in July regarding the conscription of Religious Zionism, which also drew widespread criticism from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and security officials, who expressed their disapproval.
