Actually, I am indeed for real. The idea behind my name is that it provides ‘some’ anonimity but not too much.
@Avi K – nobody ever said you’re not allowed to flee. Similarly, nothing prevents Jews right now from fleeing Eretz Yisroel due to the danger of war with Iran. The unstable political / military situation in that area is certainly one of the reasons that contributed to me moving back to Europe. Here the risk of getting a knife in my back or being blown up on a bus or soon having Kassams flying around is a bit lower.
Now, would you care to name one single godol who said people should remain in Europe when the real troubles started? Everyone went as far as they could – those who could, fled anywhere they could: Russia, America, England, Eretz Yisroel – Mir even went to China! Nobody ever said we should sit in one place and let ourselves be slaughtered R”L.
It is absolutely not a problem for people to flee to anywhere they need to – including Eretz Yisroel – when needed. The problem with Zionism lies in the massive, organized nature of it that has absolutely nothing to do with the Nazis. When Herzl started his plans, Hitler was 7 years old (just checked).
Zionism has absolutely nothing to do with saving Jews from the Nazis. What they did was take us from a place where we faced goyim who carried out pogroms and took us to a place of continuous war.
When I was in Eretz Yisroel I saw soldiers everywhere with big guns, huge fences and walls to separate us from the Arabs who want to annihilate us, army bases everywhere and I am lucky I myself was not drafted into that army. The army is handing out gas masks, the country is building emergency shelters, preparing the hospitals to withstand rocket attacks and making sure decontamination facilities for chemical warfare are set up. You call that an improvement over the way Jews live in England, such as here in Gateshead?
Now as for NK: I think they made some errors of judgment in participating in rallies together with Arabs and the like. That is wrong. We should not openly join forces with them. I think it’s completely fine to go around and proclaim to the world that there are frum Jews who oppose Zionism. That is not the same as kissing Ahmedinejad in Teheran. They did go a little bit too far with that. So would you please stop equating me to Moshe Ber Beck and the like now?
