A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Redemption of Israel'
in which he interprets redemption to mean the dissolution of regimes of enslavement and violent conquest
It is Judaism's designation to call on all people for peace – from all nations, peoples, kingdoms and countries. The redemption of Israel is not self-redemption, but rather a redemption of all persons, each from his numerous and bereaving wars, from his enslavement to pagan ideas, superstition and to tyrannical realms, or to falsified religious hypocrisy. Judaism seeks not to transform the world order or life's values, its great aspiration is to annul oppressive and crushing state rule that governs and conquers by sword and force: 'The only difference between this world and the days of the Messiah is but [with regard to] servitude to kingdoms' (Berachot 34b), and the one that is to be annulled in the days of the Messiah concerns not only Israel but humanity in its entirety.
