Re OP: what does zionism, or anti-Zionism rather, have to do with being chassidish in general…? This always confused me greatly and has always been something of a פלא by me…last time I checked, chassidishkeit b’klal had everything to do with learning, living, and spreading Toras HaChassidus to the entire world, as we see in the known story of the בעש״ט when he went to the chamber of Moshiach and asked אימתי קאתי מר? Moshiach didn’t reply “when you stop Zionism” he replied, “כשהפצת מעינותיך חוצה״….so maybe it’s time to get back to the basics and start focusing on what being a CHASSIDISHE yid means…you don’t have to be a Zionist R”L…but let’s not make a טפל the עיקר and forget why we’re b’davka chassidim in the first place my friend.
