Has Rabbi Berland fled Holland?

It may be a desperate attempt to get pageviews using a catchy headline even though it's detached from reality, or maybe it's just lousy reporting, but while the Dutch and Israeli police are scratching thier heads trying to figure out if Rabbi Berland is in Holland or not, and even his students in the village are waiting to hear word from him, the media, on Monday, have already proclaimed "It's official". However in the very same article they quote the Dutch prosecutor who says it will only be known on Tuesday.

It is very possible that the Rabbi is no longer in Holland as much as it's possible that he is. Nothing is "official" as of yet. The only thing certain is that those who are seeking his harm will not succeed. Those who are waging war against him are going to learn their lesson sooner or later.

Here is a comment which we found on one of the websites:

When will they learn that no one can touch the Tzaddik?!
He will return to Israel whenever he wishes to and no one can force him. He is on a Global mission to return lost Jews to their father in Heaven, no one can stop him from doing this no matter how hard they try. They tried stopping him in Israel to no success and they will not succeed in chu"l either. When will they learn? Look what is happening to the Israeli police, the same people who started the war with him are falling one by one. Perverted people who are covering up their own daily perversion by creating false claims on the Tzaddik. Ochlei Chazir, Bo'alei Nidah, Michalelei shabbat have no power whatsoever over the Tzaddik.
He already made it clear that he will not stop bringing Jews closer to their creator until he brings the Moshiach. Don't waste your time and energy looking for him and chasing him. You are making fools of yourselves, and defeating your purpose. Because the more you continue with this relentless war the more people are coming to him to see the truth and thereby being brought back to religion. If these accusations were on a regular person who is actually guilty of it, he would not sit one day in jail, and you would not search worldwide for him. The policemen who actually do these acts that you are falsely accusing him of are let off the hook the next day and back to their positions. So why are you spending millions of shekels and energy in your war against the Tzaddik? Because it is a war against religion and you are making it clearer by the day.
יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נוֹסְדוּ יָחַד עַל ה' וְעַל מְשִׁיחוֹ
Just like King David and his small group that stuck with him were chased by thier fellow Jews and he later became king of Israel, so will be with Rav Berland. The torah teaches that the greater the Tzaddik the more he is persecuted by his generation, the greater the persecution the more he is raised up when it's over, just look at history.

The day will come…
כִּי יוֹם נָקָם בְּלִבִּי וּשְׁנַת גְּאוּלַי בָּאָה.
It will come soon. Don't worry he'll be back in Israel, but none of those who chased him will be there. Those who believed the stories that the media propagates will be sorry and repent. "Israel will rejoice in their Creator, the sons of Tzion will rejoice in thier King"
יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֹשָׂיו בְּנֵי צִיּוֹן יָגִילוּ בְמַלְכָּם

"May my soul be like dirt to everyone"

During the nine minutes of the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth Jewish month, a time which according to Kabalah is auspicious for bringing down spiritual sustenance to the world, the Judges in Amsterdam issued their decision regarding Israel's extradition request of the Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland.

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov explains the meaning of our three time daily prayer "May my soul be like dirt to everyone", that just as the dirt on the ground everyone tramples on it yet it provides for the world all sources of sustenance and good things, all food and livelihood, gold and precious stones come from the ground, so too the Tzaddik who has fully integrated this prayer becomes the stamping ground for all to trample on and in that way he is able to provide sustenance both spiritual and physical for the entire world. For a Tzaddik pays no attention at all to his own needs or his own honor only to the needs and honor of the world around him, and he is willing to lower himself for all to step on in order to accomplish this.

Rebbe Nachman goes on and explains "May my soul be like dirt to everyone", that just like the earth has a gravitational force and everyone is naturally pulled towards it, so too the Tzaddik has a gravitational force and all are pulled towards him. Some understand that it is in order to recieve teaching and guidance from him, while others don't understand and are convinced that there must be something strangely wrong here and therefore make it thier business to speak evil about him, cause him harm and constantly chase him for nothing. Either way there is a gravitational force and it is up to each individual to use it for good or for bad.

Update: The Courts Decision regarding extradition of Rabbi Berland

The Rabbi will not be extradited. Further reasoning is needed by Israel and if given, the court will reopen the case.
