Joseph, for how long have you been a Zoroastrian (you obviously believe in a god of good and a god of evil)
That’s a terrible mischaracterization of the Satmar Rebbe’s shittah (all Joseph did was quote him).
HKB”H often has His malochim do His bidding. If the malach he commands to do something is the Satan, it is ma’aseh Satan. The Satmar Rebbe’s point is that the success of the IDF creates the false impression that Hashem is somehow pleased with the redefinition of Am Yisroel as a nation based on land and language, not the Torah. This doesn’t ch”v mean that it wasn’t allowed or even commanded by HKB”H.
To take the Rebbe’s shittah and describe it as sh’tei r’shuyos ch”v is an egregious error.
DaMoshe, shame on you for casting such aspersions on the motivations of a Gadol bi’Yisroel. You’re better than that.
I second both parts of that.
