Your considerations in opposing the hostage deal

שו”תCategory: generalYour considerations in opposing the hostage deal
asked 8 months ago

Hello Rabbi,
I saw that you wrote that the consideration of future danger in releasing terrorists is not a consideration for you in opposing the deal.
 
I wanted to ask why not? And also, what is the consideration for your objection?

If you saw this, you could also see my explanations there. Hamas remaining is an outcome that we must not accept.

But Hamas's continued existence is also a future danger, and in your opinion, this is not a consideration compared to a certain salvation in the present.

מיכי Staff replied 8 months ago

The continued existence of Hamas is not a future danger, but a certainty. And not a danger to individuals, but to the public.

אורן replied 8 months ago

And isn't the release of thousands of terrorists a danger to the public? And according to the law of large numbers, there is also certainty here.

מיכי Staff replied 8 months ago

The law of large numbers means that individual people will be harmed, not the public. It's about a tiny chance that any of us will be harmed versus the certainty that the kidnapped will be harmed now.

אורן replied 8 months ago

But even if Hamas remains, the chance that any of us will be harmed by it is tiny.

אורן replied 8 months ago

In other words, how is Hamas remaining in power different from releasing thousands of terrorists?

מיכי Staff replied 8 months ago

I don't understand what is unclear here. I explained that when Hamas remains, it is a harm to the public and not to individuals. Therefore, the chance of any of us being harmed is irrelevant.
A public harm means that our territories are under threat and it is impossible to live in them normally. That the army is on alert without a break, and repeatedly goes on operations.
