>> I have never met an anti-Zionist that was truthful. So, what is the point of this thread?<<
No point in answering you, with your sick attitude. However, for others here who also fell in to suffer from your words:
The problem in pre-war Europe was not assimilation. They married Jews. It was abandoning religion. (Which I suspect, you would not consider a problem.)
The issue was the Yidden suffering from terrible poverty. The Zionist, Communistm and Bundistin came along and offered their solutions to alleviate the poverty situation, which included abandoning religion.
>>The Old Yishuv made plenty of problems without the Zionists.<<
I have no idea what you are talking about. I doubt you do either.
>>Rav Yosef Chaim preceded the Zionists by at most, two generations.<<
Maran Harav Yoisef Chayim Sonnefeld z”l was niftar Feb. 6, 1932! That was well into the heat of Zionism. (According to you, Zionism began in 1972!!??) Zionism began in 1897. Before 1920, their movement was shmadding up Yidden and making the Arabs angry.
>>There was a lot of history before then. It was a hard place for Jews to live.<<
What is your point here??
>>There are around ten thousand actual casualties of actual wars. There are another ten thousand that were killed in more ‘peaceful’ attacks.<<
Those “‘peaceful’ attacks” were also because of the Zionists!!
>>I have never met an anti-Zionist that was truthful. So, what is the point of this thread?<<
I have never met an Israeli Zionist. Zionists are Dinosaurs. Today almost all Israelis just want to survive and make a living.
The handful of remaining Zionist, are the few kipa srugot and a few loudmouth Americans. I am sure you live in America, Mr. Zionist.
