Reply To: Words from an ex IDF solider for Yom HaZikaron

I think it makes a lot more sense to say that the hakamas hamedinah was Hashem telling all of us to return to EY. Many at that time were homeless following the Holocaust, and the time was ripe for all of Klal Yisroel to return. We chose not to and we planted ourselves in the USA instead of EY. If we all would have went together, Mashiach would have joined us.
