I just saw your post now and went back to find my post cuz I’m shocked that I would ever write that. I couldn’t find the post that compares the two but if I did ever compare them, my intentions were the extreme zionists. I grew up in a zionistic community, school, home etc. if anyone can understand you, it’s me. If I was not referring to the extreme people in my post that you found, I’m referring simply to the fact that in my community, which is quite large, even moderate zionists (not all) will bash chareidim and their views. Which not going into, but I understand, cuz lots of chareidim do the same. What bothers me is that people think it gives them a right to just hate another Jew just because they view Israel in a different light. That’s not what God wants from us. I, unlike a lot of people here am able to see the perspective of a typical religious Zionist. I say the tefila for the soldiers. I am on here to hopefully show people that just cuz your Zionist doesn’t mean your not frum. And I may not be as zionistic as you, I still respect you, and respect why you have chosen to view Israel the way you do.
