Dear Someday,
So obviously the problem between the wars wasn’t Zionism, it was assimilation. Maybe there would have been more assimilation without Zionism. Fast forward a hundred years, and that is the more likely truth. [I am not advocating for Zionism as an antidote for assimilation. The only point is that it isn’t a clear anti-Zionism argument.]
The Old Yishuv made plenty of problems without the Zionists.
Rav Yosef Chaim preceded the Zionists by at most, two generations. There was a lot of history before then. It was a hard place for Jews to live.
There are around ten thousand actual casualties of actual wars. There are another ten thousand that were killed in more ‘peaceful’ attacks.
I have never met an anti-Zionist that was truthful. So, what is the point of this thread?
