Although the Rebbe had been extremely concerned about previous dangers Israeli officials have brought upon the land of Israel, and had expressed protests from a genuine pained view of the dangers involved, when they personally arrived in 770 they were accepted with an attitude of Honor and warmth. In this way, the Rebbe had separated the attitude to the DEED from the attitude to the PERSON involved. Regarding the Pikuach Nefesh Issue, Rabbi Ashkenazi insists that only spiritual acts of Torah , prayer and Tsedaka, and increasing and enhancing mivtsaim activities, are apt to bring about positive results in this and any other threatening event without darkening the public image of Chabad or swerving from the behavior and attitude the Rebbe had illustrated for us.
