“……was founded on principle of and continues to operate a systematic divestment of religion….”
Only partly true.. Yes, there were people in the movement who felt that way, but most did not. ( Please read, Rav Teichtal in Eim Habonim , , Rav Reines in Or Chodosh Al Tziyon & Rav Yitzchok Nissenbaum in Ketavim Nivcharim )
Why don’t you look at flowering of kashrus, yeshivos, kollelim, …. more Torah in EY than anywhere in the world.
Why be a Kohen who stares at the skin and declares Tzaraas…. Why not be the Kohen who sees NO Tzaraas… ..
Would you condemn Ezra who went up to the land with his mechallelei Shabbat’nikes, and those married to non-Jewish women and built the Bet Hamikdash? Remember when Rav Zeira called those talmidei chachamim who stayed in Bavel, ‘tipshei d’Bavleh’.
“……Can one not claim to love the land Hashem gave to the Jews and still call out the zionists for what they truly are….”
By all means, call them out. Nobody disagrees with the those who despise religion.
But why not look at the entire picture instead of staring at Tzaraas? If you love the land so much, why don’t you work to bring the brethren to make Aliyah and vote them out?
That’s what the Gur Rebbe said 80 years ago…. Make Aliyah frum Jews, and influence the land. R’ Sonnenfeld, the anti-Zionist said exactly the same thing.
Why aren’t you guys trying to influence by taking an approach that draws Yidden into Torah instead of battling and battling?
Have you ever heard of Rav Aryeh Levin?…. And how he worked with non-frum, and what kind of Kiddush Hashem he made?
If you love the land so much, how come you choose not to see the miracles DESPITE the bad actors…
If you love the land, why don’t you preach and teach these miracles to one and all and draw people ever closer to the Torah?
If you love the land, you observe Yom Haatzmaut…. AND Yom Yerushalayim…. Because that’s what Hashem orchestrated.. Despite the overwhelming odds against its survival..
Don’t try to be G-D’s Cossack… he doesn’t need that…
