OURTorah:
In order to have any sort of educated opinion on Zionism and WW II, you first have to know a number of facts, some related to religion and other related to plain history.
Rav Chaim Brisker remarked that people mistakenly think that the Zionists feel the need to shmad Jews (this is around 100 years ago) in order to get a State.
In reality, it is the opposite: they need a State in order to shmad Jews.
The raison d’etre of Zionism is to turn the Jewish nation into a secular nationalist nation, obviously devoid of Torah, just like the Italians in Italy and the French in France.
Next:
The Zionists were already a political power long before 1948 and even before WW II.
The Zionists were recognized by the nations as the representatives of World Jewry.
The Zionists adopted the slogan “Rak biDam tihye lanu haAretz”, that they needed Jewish blood to be spilled in Europe so that the nations would feel sufficiently “guilty” to give them a State afterwards.
The Zionists lobbied governments AGAINST allowing in any Jews fleeing Europe because doing so would weaken Zionism, knowing full well that these Jews would be gassed as a result.
The Zionists’ acts and non-acts during WW II caused Jews to die in WW II.
There’s plenty more, but that’s sickening enough.
The Satmar Rav goes further in blaming Zionism for WW II, but I will refrain from posting further about that.
Regardless, it is a most sad irony to see a Holocaust survivor who is also in any way a Zionist.
