GAW:
I have written above that the issue of working “within the state” for the benefit of Torah and Jews is a legitimate halachic dispute between the Satmar Rav, who forbade it, and others, who permit it, which is why there is no Satmar MK but there are other frum MKs. Incidentally, the Brisker Rav advised a certain frum MK in certain matters, for this reason. But there is no dispute that Zionism is assur.
And any observer of the news, even as we write our posts here, should be quite aware that Zionist shmad has certainly not ended. The Zionists themselves admit it when they speak of making chareidis into Israelis, etc.
Zionism was, and very much still is, shmad.
