rabbiofberlin:
Your discussion of what amounted to mass murder by the zionists during the holocaust, is effectively a whitewash that you decline to discuss.
Be that as it may, the Netziv, R’ Zvi Hirsh Kalisher, the Talmidei Besht, etc. that you mention desired to SETTLE in Eretz Yisroel. This is a high madreiga that anyone, from Brisk to Satmar to Agudah completely agrees with. That is not zionism. Zionism is CONTROLLING (i.e. governmentally) Eretz Yisroel. This is something the aforementioned Tzadikim expressed no desire and indeed would not contemplate taking control of the land from the Ottomons, the British, or whoever else controlled it. Provide me any source you have indicating that these Gedolim proposed CONTROLLING (governmentally) Eretz Yisroel.
THAT IS THE QUESTION.
