The Empty Wagon is a compelling masterpiece exposing the treachery of the Zionist Movement and its’ state, the state of “Israel”. The book is a scholarly work meticulously researched, containing countless quotes and 2833 footnotes siting sources for every idea presented. The author, Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro שליט"א, clearly a selfless lover and staunch advocate of the Jewish People, brilliantly delivers the information in a manner understandable and enjoyable for the scholar and layperson alike. My wife תחי' and I, study and discuss each fascinating page together and thoroughly relishing the truth and ‘breath of fresh air’ wafting from each page (my wife is reading the book for the second time).
Much criticism is leveled in the world with regards to the injustices the State of “Israel” has committed and continues to commit to the Palestinians, and rightfully so. However, after reading the (unanimous) opinions of the Torah Sages זצ"ל of the previous generations and learning of the evils the Zionist movement and its’ State perpetrated and continue to perpetrate on our People הי"ו, we now understand those most harmed, are the Jewish People. The author incontrovertibly demonstrates that the Zionist movement (enormously assisted by its’ state) was and remains NOTHING more than a massive social engineering project to transform the Torah Nation into a nation like all other nations. Tragically, one glance of the Jewish People today and compare it with the picture of the Jewish People before the project began (Sic 1850), reveals the “Zionist project” was almost entire successful. For this, and many other reasons brought to light in the Empty Wagon, it is now clear to us that the Zionist (a name synonymous with Reform) Movement and its’ State (fraudulently and deceptively named the State of “Israel”), is the greatest catastrophe and deepest shame that has ever come upon the Jewish People. Perhaps the saddest aspect is, for the most part, this brain washed victim (the Jewish People), actually supports and takes pride in its oppressor and the source of their global disgrace.
Much gratitude is felt to the author for lifting the darkness from before our blind eyes and redeeming us from a bondage of deceit. The author has performed a great act of loving kindness for the Jewish People at great personal sacrifice.
An urgent read for every Jew (and Gentile). Equally urgent, we must pass on its message to our People and the Nations of the World, the state of “Israel” has no affiliation with the People of Israel, rather, it is the antithesis to every value and belief held by the Torah Nation, and thereby restore the dignity of G-d, our Torah and our People so terribly besmirched by the Zionist [Reform] Movement and their State.
