In general, I have vowed that I will not discuss this matter here anymore – as the positions are stuck in concrete.
However, I cannot allow falsehoods to be printed here.
Joseph writes that Rav hutner zz’l was amongst them who “could not tolerate any Jewish sovereignty over Eretz yisroel in the middle east pre-moshiach”.
he writes “as a talmid of Chaim berlin”.
Well, I too am a talmid of Rav Hutner zz’l and I NEVER EVER heard him say that. Unless joseph can supply actual WRITTEN sources on this irresponsible statement, I will throw this ‘assertion’ in the garbage where it deserves to be.
I cannot vouch for the others although quoting Rav Elchonon is clearly irrelevant as he died in 1941 al kiddush hashem.
The only one that has consistently espoused this view is the Satmarer rebbe zz’l and he is surely a solitary voice.
So- joseph, please supply us with ‘verbatim” quotes from these gedolim that you quoted.
