| Nov 27, 2014 at 18:37 | comment | added | הנער הזה | @DavidMichaelGang I'm well aware; this is quoted by R. Hershel Schachter as well (Nefesh Harov pp. 97-98, and in "Land for Piece" printed in RJJ vol 16). Please note the last line in my answer and comment above that I don't endorse this opinion necessarily. However, I should also note that this opinion may be questioned from the Gemara Berachos 3b. One could explain that the possible war there would have been one without risk to Jewish life, but that's a stretch I think | |
| Nov 27, 2014 at 18:16 | comment | added | David Michael Gang | This view is not hold by all rabanim. Rabbi J. B. Soloveychik in the book "ish al haeda" page 257 holds that pikuach nefesh doche kol hatorah kula. Even erez jisroel. The question is what will be less pikuach nefesh in the long term | |

| Nov 26, 2014 at 15:22 | comment | added | Ryan | Thanks for charitably reading the question, providing many references and a clear answer. I accept this answer because of its nuanced, rabbinical character, not as an endorsement of the underlying beliefs. | |
