Abelleh -“But Health, you still never made an argument; the Stamir position is very hard to understand in light of the Balfour Declaration and the UN’s Decision to grant the Jews a homeland in 1948”
For the second time I’m not Satmar, even though I agree with their position on the Medina. But you have to read a lot to understand their Shittos -try reading those two Seforim I mentioned.
I’m sure you don’t mean it, but you are very ignorant when it comes to the history. There was a Balfour Declaration, but the antisemite British balked on implementing it. They just pulled out of Palestine without giving it to anyone. The Zionists at that time decided to establish a State in the vacuum. Whether they did it because they were scared of the arabs and that they might take over or they saw an opportunity or both -I don’t know. But starting a country on your own caused an extreme hatred from the Goyim, esp. the arabs.
