Menachem Shmei,
“many chose (in their ignorance, thanks to the Zionist propaganda) to engage in waving the Zionist flag, etc., instead of engaging in true Judaism”
I’m from a major Jewish community & the most well known & respected Chasidish Rebbe attended a local (not in the community) Pro-Israel rally. In the pics he’s holding a “Zionist flag”
This Rebbe is engaged in “True Judaism” 24/7/365. Whether running his wonderful Shul, helping people, giving Shiurim, or teaching at schools.
I think the difference is in many places Yidden fight or at best ignore each other until the Nazis take over. Where I’m from there’s a lot lower threshold that triggers cooperation. Yidden in Eretz Yisroel are being killed & held hostage. Antisemitism in America (& elsewhere) is skyrocketing. Perhaps (he does) this Rebbe has Chochma. When the Non-Frum Jews at the rally who only know how to wave a Zionist flag see a real Chasidish Rebbe in Chasidus garb right beside them also waving a Zionist flag the message that sends is priceless.
