The Oslo Accords: Fruits of ‘Daas Torah’

There is a famous essay by Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler where he “retcons” the political “Da’as Torah” inerrancy doctrine into Megillas Esther. It seems that Mordechai was getting everyone in trouble by not bowing to Haman, but he was right all along, etc.

Moshe Feiglin:

“Since Oslo, 6 times more people have been murdered here, 20 times more have been wounded, and the Accords have cost us 1.2 trillion shekels.”

It’s the 25th anniversary of the Oslo Accords. How long must we wait to read “brilliant” essays explaining how the Gedolim were prescient in retrospect, eh? And also about the expulsion from Gush Katif?

Note: This isn’t to comment on the debate whether Mordechai was correct in this case (the Gra says no, for instance). And this isn’t about the halachic aspects of Oslo, covered by Rabbi Yitzchak Brand shlita elsewhere.
