And about the frei country, the Moshiach himself comes from ma’ase Yehudah ve”Tamar, Lot and his daughters, Dovid and Bat Shevah and so forth.

Yeah, and nobody holds that any of those were a mitzva. Part of G-d’s plan–yes. Just the same as the Holocaust and the ????? ?????.

So mazel tov, you think your state is the same as the ????? ?????.

I don’t know if it is necessary or not; I don’t know enough about what G-d is intending. Perhaps mashiach will come by a frum majority electing him as machiach. But even that would not lend any religious significance to the state, and it would only be as necessary as the Holocaust was.
