No, I am very clear. IF the state HAS to be, and since it IS at this point, it HAS to be at least for the near future, then it must do what has to be done to protect Jews and stop causing anti-Semitism abroad. It would be better that the state would not exist anymore and if it could be peacefully dismantled without Moshiach that would be perfect.
However, FDR the rosho YMS did not allow Jewish refugees into the US during the way. Therefore, the world felt a medine was necessary even though after the war other countries could have absorbed the refugees. The state also created its own Jewish refugees in the Arab world (and their descendants are leaving E”Y to join their more prosperous brethren in the US, France, Australia etc). Therefore, this travesty occurred but still it does not have to continue in its self-destructive and harmful folly.
The Jews who I had in mind who were secularized were those arriving from countries such as Yemen and Morocco. I know full well that tzioinus was part and parcel of the same folly as Communism, haskalah etc and it was imposed on many who were brought to EY against their will or had no other place to go.
Why are the same proud Sefardi names, in some cases those of our greatest sages (Azoulay, Ben-Atar etc), found on successful business and professional offices in Paris, New York, Florida and LA, …and on the prison rosters of E”Y???
