ROB, you have already stated on these boards that you would not renounce your idolatry of Zionism even if proof were presented to you that your eigel is treif, and it was. So anyone reading your leitzanus post above should understand your “qualifications”.
Two of your fellow-countrymen who reside under Zionist rule have chosen to point out in this thread to their fellow Jews that the Zionists are turning up the heat in their 100+ year-old quest to turn Jews and our Judaism into, CH”V, Zionist warrior “Hebrews” and Zionism.
As valuable as their posts are to people who don’t live there, they’re also not the only ones who recognize this about Zionism (besides for, of course, people who were not deceived by Zionist lies and fallacies in the first place).
I read an article the other day that recounted yet another horrifying story about how a chareidi man joined the IDF in a chareidi unit and the Zionists convinced him to “temporarily” go to another non-chareidi unit so he could advance. After the inevitable yeridos occurred, along with the (immediate) consequences from those yeridos, the poor wife of this man went to a Torah-observant rabbi crying that “the State of Israel has betrayed me”, which, of course, the State was happy to do as they shmaded yet another Jew and created yet more tzaar in Klal Yisrael.
As the Brisker Rov wrote, and as a study of Zionism’s tragic history and current events would easily indicate, the Zionists shmad – not because they need a State; rather, they need a State in order to shmad.
Yet people actually believe in Zionist heresy contrary to the Torah giants of yesteryear’s dire warnings and severest condemnation and the hindsight of history and power of modern communication to inform on current events.
As he also said (as I recall), if one seeks to understand the eigel (haZahav), one need only observe (people’s relationship to) Zionism; it is the same matter.
