GAW:
Regarding Zionist money and Agudah, et al., I still don’t understand the relevance: Just because Zionism is A”Z, I don’t see how it automatically follows that getting money from the Israeli government must be mamon A”Z. Again, their Rabbinic board can paskin on that. But if Agudah were CH”V espousing Zionism, that would, of course, be a different matter.
It is Assur to be Neheneh from Avodah Zara. Hence, if Zionism is AZ, then it is assur to take Zionistic money.
Are you saying they have a different Shittah?
Regarding the Israeli Parliament, I don’t see your point. Let’s assume that it was permitted for Rabbi Lorincz to enter that abominable place (and for the current ones to do so). That has no relevance to the overall issue that Zionism is A”Z.
If is is permitted, then it is not Avodah Zara. It is Assur to enter a Makom Avoda Zara.
Regarding the wine:
Please see my response to DY above (assuming it gets posted).
But, no, just because their wine is not ruled yayin nesech does not change the reality that the gedolim held that Zionism is A”Z.
Regarding the Zionists setting E”Y aflame and foolishly provoking the savages:
I’m glad we agree on this.
We don’t agree, but I do know what your shittah is. Standard Satmar/Neturei Karta.
