I’m not taking sides with either camp right now, but I want to clear something up…

When the Zionist posters say that the state has “historically” been religious, are you arguing that the early Zionists like Herzl (who supported banning circumcision) and Ben Yehudah were pro-religion?

If not, then can you really accuse the other side of “libel?”

Anti-Zionist posters: If the state had never happened, it would probably be a Muslim state. The British likely would have given up control either way. Seeing what happens when Muslim populations overthrow their kings and establish Islamic states, do you really think the Jews in the land of Israel would be better off with that?

If not, then can you really call it the yetzer harah?

Everyone: Do you actually think your posts will change anyone’s minds?

If not, then why are we here? Why am I posting this at midnight on a Monday?
