HaKatan said:
“Had the Zionists not invaded, the entire area would have remained peaceful,
and Jews would have been able to continue to live in not only Palestine
but also in Arab countries in even better conditions
than they already were living, as the world “modernized.”

MY RESPONSE:
If you are not a Navi [prophet], then you cannot know
what would have happened. You can only guess.
Additionally, the Middle East was not “peaceful”
because the Ottoman Empire, which ruled the Middle East,
was at war during World War I and other wars.
Additionally, Jews in Muslim lands were often
persecuted and killed, even before Zionism.
Even when Jews in Muslim lands were not persecuted,
they were never legally equal to Muslims.

Duvidf was correct when he said:
“…observant Jews on one level or another bought into
Satmar ideology that wipes the Mitzvos of conquering
and settling Eretz Yisroel out of the Torah.”
And that comment helps to explain why Religious Zionism
is the true Derech HaTorah, that was received by
Moshe Rabbeinu on Mount Sinai and taught
to his loyal student, Yehoshua HaNavi.
