yes no one claims the state MADE them frei. of course they would have been just as frei without the state. this has nothing whatsoever to do with what anyone is talking about.
they would have been just as frei but they would not have been able to promote a prideful, arrogant, in Hashem’s face so to speak, dance, arrogance and disgusting pride of the wicked abominable sinners IN THE HOLY STREETS OF YERUSHALAYIM!
chas v shaolom that words like this should even be seen by Jewish eyes.
the basic makeup of the state today, not only its founding, are those jews who are ashamed of being Jewish and their response is to hate Judaism, to hate Hashem, and our Torah which he gave to us. this is what the state is, a desire to find safety from persecution and to be just like all the other nations that have no Torah. this is its founding and its present form.
