Here we go again. Another thread that has disintegrated into the old Zionism arguments.
Let’s look at the original premise of the thread: why do we have these arguments? There are legitimate Rabbonim on both sides, so why don’t we just say each side should follow its own Rabbonim, and that’s it?
Let’s look at some other well-known machlokisim:
Next week, Bonei Olam is having a Chinese Auction – in Williamsburg! But the Satmar Rebbe held that IVF was NOT allowed, and children born from it could be mamzerim! Why don’t Satmar chassidim protest the Bonei Olam auction?
Many chassidim never accepted R’ Moshe’s heter for regular milk in the US. For them, it’s not chumrah, regular milk is assur! Yet I’ve never seen chassidim arguing strongly against someone accepting the heter and drinking regular milk!
Why is Zionism different? Why don’t people just accept that it is a machlokes, and people should just follow their Rav’s opinion?
