I decided long ago not to respond to “joseph”s rantings on zionism and eretz Yisroel. However, for once, let me point out his sophistry and twisted logic. He accuses the state for all the dead Jews in the last sixty years, maintaining that, if there would not be a medinah, the jews would live there peacefully, as it was in previous centuries (dubious but let us accept that). Does anyone with a smidgen of “sechel’ even believe that this would be the case today? When the X-ians in Lebanon were killed and exlied in droves decades ago , when the X-ians of Iraq are being murdered today wholesale and driven out of their ancestral home, when even within the Arab nations, they murder each other mercilessly, when all around Israel, hundreds of thousands of human beings are being slaughtered on both sides, do you, for one moment, believe that the jews in a so-called palestine would be spared? Maybe, just maybe, HKBH allowed the medinah to be formed because He knew what would happen in future years- like today- and that the jews of eretz Yisroel needed to be independent to defend themselves. That scenario is a lot more plausible than the fantasmagoric assertion that all is from the sitra achara.
