Torah perspective

Senior rabbis warning against repeating the Oslo mistake touch something deeper than politics. The verse "Lo tichaneim" (Devarim 7:2) is read by our sages as a prohibition against giving a foothold to those who would oppose us. Oslo was not merely a failed diplomatic gambit; it was a violation of this principle, dressing foreign presence in the language of peace. The current warning about foreign forces in Gaza reflects the same concern: a covenant with powers that do not share the Torah's vision of who holds this land. History does not repeat by accident. It repeats when we refuse to see what the previous round taught us.
