simcha613: When the Zionists first began their invasion a century or so ago, the Jews living in then-Palestine, including Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld ZT”L, begged the Zionists to go away and to stop inflaming the Arabs and causing the Arabs to hate Jews (thinking that other Jews are Zionists). The Chevron Massacre is a good example of this; the marauding Arabs murdered the talmidei chachamim (non-Zionists, of course) in the Chevron Yeshiva because their European features made the Arabs conclude that they, too, were Zionists who were threatening their Al Aqsa – as opposed to the sefardim in the town whom the savages did not touch because they knew that the sefardim there were not Zionists.
Actually, it was the Zionist provocations that caused those very white papers, and the borders to be closed, of course. Think: the British had recently issues the Balfour Declaration, which was rather magnanimous, even though, as they noted, the Zionists read far more into it than they intended (and wrote). The whole point was to allow Jews a safe haven in then-Palestine under British control. So, why would the British then follow that up with the White Papers? The answer, of course, is Zionist provocation of the Arabs. Had the evil Zionists not invaded, the doors would have remained wide open. There also would not have been a Holocaust, in the first place, if not for Zionism, but that’s a separate related point.
Your kefirah about the gimmel shevuos is, of course, disgraceful. The Maharal stated that they are indeed yeHareig viAl Yaavor. It’s also abysmally stupid to violate those oaths (and to mock the same) given what Hashem said he would do – and unfortunately did – in response. But to answer your question, even Rabbi AY Kook was against establishing a State via war. The few Rabbanim in Agudah who (unfortunately) gave their tentative approval to such a “State” did so only on a number of conditions including that it would be fully peaceful, not forever wars as all the gedolim for a century predicted Zionism would be.
In writing that “The World gave us a state when the British left and then the new state was invaded by the Arabs.”, you’re simply parroting Zionist lies and propaganda. What actually happened, as written above, was that the Zionists terrorized and fought against the British, forcing them to leave, and then blatantly disregarded the UN directive that they were going to start a new Mandate there by founding their “State” and started their first of many wars with the Arabs. This included the Zionists attempting to take Jerusalem, also explicitly against the UN which told the Zionists that Jerusalem should be an international city, which caused the British-trained Jordanians to enter that war, which caused the deaths of even more Jews on the altar of Zionism and also the loss of access to the Kosel Maaravi.
