@ziongate- Your post is totally and utterly paradoxical. The zionists are bad. They founded a movement against God. They do not like Him, did not like Him, and, institutionally, will never like Him. I love EY. I live here, in the face of very difficult circumstances. I’m not going to go into specifics, but suffice it to say that in this instance, you’re preaching to the choir. How in the blazes did you transition from what gedolim said about EY, the land God gave us, to supporting zionism?! How in the blazes does hashgacha pratis on an unparalleled scale lead to “If you love the land, you observe Yom Haatzmaut…. AND Yom Yerushalayim…. Because that’s what Hashem orchestrated..” Why in the blazes to you insist on subscribing to a movement that hates God simply because you love EY?! Where is the connection?!!! There is zero logic in your statement. You agree that love of EY does not dictate that you are an institutional zionist, yet somehow it means you must celebrate the founding of a state? What in the blazes? Did you throw your brain into the ocean on the way over here? Argh. Just Argh. (This is without going into the present reality that there is very little old religious zionism left, let’s leave that out. First, let’s have you make some sense.)
