Just Emes:

This is still not emes, and I already pointed this out to you earlier.

If you read the rest of that article, you will see that their “support” for a State was predicated on the assumption that it was going to happen regardless of their support and also based on their expectations of the Zionists.

As the Brisker Rav pointed out, they were wrong on the former point because Hashem doesn’t look at what reshaim do, but at what tzaddikim do and, as you like to quote, the “B”D” of Klal Yisrael” is what caused the State to be created, (and the Brisker Rav seems to agree that this and the tefillos of misguided Jews in meah shearim were the true catalysts).

And as history more than amply pointed out, the conditions these rabbanim set for their acceptance of a State, like the condition how the Zionists would not interfere with religion in the new State, were very much not met.

Again, there is no halachic basis and also no mesorah for any flavor of Zionism.
