Ohhh…. gotcha.
Well, I for one don’t hold with Israel being “what we’ve waited for for 2000 years”- I’ve been waiting for Moshiach, personally.
However, I do believe that the State of Israel has brought some great things to us, such as increased ability to learn Torah (something taken for granted until it was threatened recently), access to the kosel and other mekomos kedoshim, and a place for Jews, ALL Jews, to live if they so choose. I don’t believe that these are yemos hamoshiach, but I don’t believe that they’re sinful or anything either.
That is why I’m going to be a semi-passive observer to Yom Haatzmaut- I might wear blue and white if I remember, and I will have nothing negative to say whatsoever to my friends who do observe it more than I do. I wear an American flag tshirt on July 4th, also. Israel is a country that is close to my heart because of all of its Jews and its uniquely Jewish character (even if it’s not as perfect as you’d all like it to be). But I won’t celebrate it as more than a regular anniversary day.
