“My averois here in a place where we are bringing people back to Yiddishkeit… are worth more than your questionable mitzvah of yishuv ha-aretz.”
This is what is wrong with you kannoim. It isn’t a mitzvah, fine — there are such opinions. It’s better for my avodas Hashem in America — in hachi nami, stay gezunteheit. But you don’t leave it at that, you feel the need to attack everyone else and in doing so, say things that are beyond the pale of yiddishkeit. I once heard a proponent of this shita, not NK mind you, but mainstream as you please say that we shouldn’t care whether or not moshiach comes or daven for it because our tafkid is to stay in golus and moshiach will come whether we daven or not. He felt the need to say this because it happened to be the shabbos after 5 iyar. The Divrei Yoel zy”a himself falls into that trap in Vayoel Moshe (I believe siman 74, have to check) when he says davening is also a violation of the three oaths. I beg you as a fellow Jew, don’t let your kannaus make you say things you’ll regret after 120.
