The author of the posting forgets that the whole idea of Zionism was to free Jews from the yoke of Torah and to wipe out learning Torah. To them, closing down the yeshivos and drafting the students is a “two fer” (they get more canon fodder and sharply undermine Torah scholarship and they hope to strike a fatal blow against Yiddishkeit). If all the Zionists wanted was to Jews being able to live in peace and devote themselves to Torah and Mitsvos, they had that option a century ago, and turned it down. Frumkeit is not really compatible with conquering the neighboring goyim and bending them to our will, which is the concept of “sovereignty” that it the core of the zionist dream. The Zionists have painted themselves into a corner through their own bigotry and pig-headedness (choice of animal is not a slip of speech).
