Health:
Welcome back, all should always be well with you and everyone, and thank you.
Avram:
Thank you.
Sam2:
I am surprised you even had that hava amina.
I explicitly stated in that very same paragraph about Hashem’s “will” that “…bechira chafshis and other related matters, which of course do not in any way contradict Hashem’s omnipotence”.
I also wrote from the Brisker Rav how Tefillah can bring about disastrous results, with his case in point being the State of Israel.
So, the clear implication of that is that the State was (again) of course from Hashem, although it was a result of (terribly mistaken) tefillos to Hashem, not the kefirah of “reishit tzemichat geulateinu” (since you brought up kefirah) or any of that other nonsense.
Although you obviously don’t agree, my salient point to d.s., as “drey kup” wrote and as you surely realized (but which you probably don’t like), was and is “…it’s simply a non-starter that the mere existence of Zionism should somehow grant it any Torah legitimacy.”
