[Avodah] Vayoel Moshe- misrepresntations?

[regalkit at aol.com]

I’ve never posted here before but seeing the knowledge you as
group posses let me give this a shot. For the better part of a year I’ve been
studying the issue of “Sholosh Shevuos” and “Mitzvos Yishuv EY” and have
pretty much gone through the Vayoel Moshe. As he was universally recognized as
a great and learned man by friend and foe alike, I am puzzled by what I see as
continuous misrepresentations on the sefer’s pages. I have found that when I
checked the sources it did not always seem to be saying what the SR said that
it did. I am not very learned and I’m sure that I must be making errors so I
would like to present 2 instances, one of the (possible) misrepresentation of
the historical events, and one of the (possible) misrepresentations of a shitta
in a sefer.





In the Maamar Sholosh Shevuos #86 he writes, “After the UN
gave permission for the State of Israel to come into fruition, they revoked
their permission and gave it to the Zionists as a TRUSTEESHIP, however the Zionists didn’t obey the UN. Does anyone
know if this is in fact an historical fact, and if it isn’t, does that mean the
Zionists do have a right to be there according to the Satmar shitta?





In Maamar Yishuv Haaretz #58; 4 opinions as to the
commandment of living in EY are presented. He brings the Ramban that it’s a mitzvas
aseh Dioraisah even during Golus, however he says the Ramban’s loshon is unclear
if it’s talking about if the inhabitants are forbidden to leave or if a golus
jew is required to go to EY. He also questions that now that there is a “Gezeiras
Golus” may be the Ramban is not referiing to this time. A simple look at the
Ramban (Sefer Hamitzvos Lihorambam, Hasogas HoRamban Mitzva 4), is as clear as
clear can be that the chiyuv is “ Bidor min hadoros” it can be done with force,
the chiyuv of Kibush still applies, “Mitzvas Aseh Lidoros Mischayav Kol Yochid
mimenu veafilu bizman hagalus”. Look at his wording and see if it is possible
to misunderstand his meaning.





The sefer, in my humble opinion, is full of these misrepresentations;
can someone guide me as to how I can understand a Godol Hador’s writings?





Thank You.
