AY, the State did no such thing. Some people who worked for it did those things. In fact, Rav Soloveichik pointed out that the establishment of the State saved Jews from mass conversion. Missionaries were using the Holocaust as proof that Hashem had divorced us c”v.They even accosted him during his travels between Boston and NY. The great kiddush Hashem that was the establishment of the State shut them up and gave renewed pride to faltering Jews. It is impossible to deny the miracles that Hashem has given to us in all of the wars, the ingathering of exiles, the tremendous economic progress of the past decades. One is ungrateful to a person is considered worse than a dog. How much more so one who ungrateful to Hashem.
