All the Gedolim you mentioned agreed with the Satmar Rebbe regarding the State of Israel. The only major difference was most of those felt once the State was unfortunately created already, frum yidden should vote in their elections, whereas the SR felt that they should not.

When you live in a small, isolated enclave, you can continue to state; JUDAISM is NOT ZIONISM except that is not a truism or accurate statement for the world at large.
Chazal is full of examples and info on how to live in the Global WORLD, check out Avraham Avinu and Avimalech, etc, etc. As long as the World’s belief is that the State of Israel and JEWS/JUDAISM is identical, a new reality sets in that the Gaon Posak Reb Moshe zt”l saw and understood.

In syfer תיקון עולם you could find Birurim from more then 200 gedolem from before World War 2, all of them with the same shiteh AGENST ZIONISM.

This is despite the fact that NO ONE EVER has created any birur that eliminates the isirim involved with Zionism etc. that is mentioned is syfer VaYoel Moshe.

* Judaism is NOT Zionism *

to Hersh:
Obviously, compromises are always made (even by the Rebbe himself, like you point out!), but that misses the point. When times dictate to a Godol that compromises must be made, then that is now what must be done- LECHATCHILA. In other words, at such times, the Halocho is that you must do the Bdieved. For example, perhaps Rav Aharon ZTL Held that there was bdieved involved with Chinuch Atzmai, as you say- yet it is known that he gave precedence for fundraising to it- over his own yeshiva!!! Because at that time, the Halocho, and the lechatchila, was to do the Bdieved! As you said, the Rebbe ZTL himself did this! So for the author to then say that anyone that didn’t agree with the Rebbe ZTL’s opinion of what was necessary to compromise according to Halocho was, was doing so “to please the wicked!!!!” is outrageous. As you said, the Rebbe himself sometimes did this. So your entire comment totally misses the point.
Now, if the author was referring to specific Rabbis and specific compromises that were not Al Pi Halocho according to all the Gedolim, then that’s a different story- but that’s not what the author wrote, or in my opinion, implied.

There is actually a known story with the Divrei Yoel with LBJ where he said that such a person was expected to express support of medinas Yisroel, despite the Rebbe’s position.

The statement about concessions and compromises may refer to several things: voting, girls schools that teach Torah Sheb’al Peh, adopting modern dress and English as a spoken language, English high schools, taking money from the Israeli government.

People should not be offended by the word compromise since all gedolim who endorsed the above practices agreed that it was a compromise. Sometimes compromise is necessary. It’s called aveirah lishmah or eis laasos. Reb Reuvein zt”l writes clearly in Bayos Hazman that voting is an aveirah lishmah and we should do it as if forced into it by a demon. See the biography, p. 313.

Reb Ahron zt”l was the biggest supporter of Chinuch Atzmai, but he agreed it was a compromise. See p. 287 in the book.

The Tchebiner Rav, when Reb Amram Blau asked him why he supported Chinuch Atzmai, replied, “Adrabah, you go make a school system for all these kids and I’ll support it.” The gedolim saw it as a compromise but it was the best alternative, in their view.

The first to endorse girls schools that teach Torah Sheba’l Peh was the Zekan Aharon (2:43) in Poland – see page 463 in the book. He permitted it because it was the only way to keep the girls from going totally off, just like one can be mechalel Shabbos to save a child from shmad. Now that’s a necessary compromise!

Reb Shraga Feivel zt”l, who started the first English high school yeshiva, did it to keep the boys from attending mixed public high school. He had deep misgivings but he had no choice. See p. 415.

And the Rebbe himself made a compromise when he introduced English in his Talmud Torah. Some families opposed him on this. See p. 414.

To sum it up, compromise is not a bad word. It’s in the proper application of compromise that the Rebbe disagreed with others.

To MHY, Yirmiyahu Cohen is not from Neturei Karta. He has occasionally spoken for Satmar’s mouthpiece organization, Jews Against Zionism or Natruna, which never appears together with Arabs and has nothing to do with NK. The event video you posted above is the Hisachdus Harabbanim, the CRC, in 2007. Definitely not NK.
