The Gemara says that the gestation period of a snake is seven years, but the fact is that it’s between 3 and 9 months. What do you say about that?

Thanks for clarifying the difference between Halachic and Aggadic Kefirah. You’re correct that people conflate the two.

To Menachem Shmei

I agree with you that the Chabad stance is still anti-Zionist. Years ago I organized a charity event for victims of Israeli terrorism. The Rabbi of the shul is Chabad, but the shul itself was, at the time, MO. I wanted to begin the program by having a Chazan sing Hatikvah. The Rabbi went ballistic that Zionism is Kefirah so I took it out.

To someJew.

You’re making a mistake in labeling all those who support Israel as Zionists. In fact, there are 3 categories. Zionists who may be religious or anti-,religious. anti-Zionists like yourself
But then there are Jews like yours truly who simply care for Acheinu Bes Yisroel including those in Israel. Let’s try to discuss this point instead of engaging in name-calling.
