The obvious reason for the creation of yeshivos in the Zionist State – despite the Zionist invasion of the area and the Zionists’ harassment of Jews there – is that millions of Jews have moved there since then. Makes sense: millions of Jews living somewhere means that there will be lots of yeshivos there.
The obvious reason for the celebrated baal teshuva movement after the Zionists’ ordinary and non-miraculous military victory in 1967 is that the Zionists had shmaded all those Jews for decades prior. It would have been far better had the Zionists not shmaded them and for the baal teshuva movement to thus not have been needed.
The fact is that Israel’s wars were all by choice, especially the early ones as the Satmar Rav and others have written in their sefarim explicitly. The Zionists could also have gone to the UN and asked for a new mandate (against which the Zionists would not terrorize and battle, unlike the one they forced to end so that they could make their “State” in 1948).
Your playing the achdus card is perhaps the weakest argument of all. Achdus is under the banner of Torah, not violating it in any way including not joining with reshaim and not violating “lo sihye acharei rabim liRaos”. As well, it is actually the opposite. As the Brisker Rav, Satmar Rav and others noted, the Zionist State is actually holding back the geulah. So, as long as people worship that idol, we will need that much more rachamim from Hashem for Mashiach to come.
Last but not least, it is extremely obvious that YOU SIMPLY HAVE NO VALID ARGUMENT.
Sincerely.
