Reply To: Hakaras Hatov for Israeli Soldiers (IDF)

Hakatan- your logic is ridiculous – The British who were in charge of Palestine/Israel passed off decision -to the totality of the UN to decide by majority vote and they did – in favor. the fact that arab nations who were part of the UN did not like it – is irrelevant – it was not their land it was the England’s land and of course they abstained – that is the reason they gave it to the UN in the first place -but Britain accepted as binding the majority vote of the UN. In any case — even look at our current political situation- the Palestinians want to make a state in the UN and not just be granted UN observer status– they do this because a majority vote in the UN constitutes world opinion. Also, you keep on saying the zionists have no answers and i agree they don’t- but i do- and i am not a secular zionist but a Torah true Jew -who based on many gedolei yisroel disagree with you and your minority viewpoint. Any violence against British was by small minority groups and was completely batel to the vast majority of jews. And in reference to pikuach nefesh- the arabs were going to try and kill us anyway at least now we had a fighting chance al pi teva to survive. The fact that the state which is democratic and neutral- in prinicpal- and which today is governed by many tinok shensha jews and charedim – doesn’t change the fact the state, although started by many zionists and some charedim -is independent halachikly from zionsim in its secular form which is against the Torah –stop mixing issues up already it is getting taxing.
