Zushy – to answer your question, Chazal state – יפתח בדורו כשמואל בדורו. There are indeed pro-Zionist quotes attributed to the Gedolim of previous generations (besides for all the quotes that are taken out of context or just downright fabricated to portray a hasidic rebbe or rosh yeshiva as being sympathetic toward Zionist kefira חס ושלום). But notice that I said PREVIOUS generations – you will not hear any pro-Zionist statements from ANY of the current Gedolei Hador שליט”א. Baruch Hashem to that! This has been the case ever since the Godol of the Gedolim, the ineffable Rav Shach זצוקללה”ה, reinstated saying Tachanun on Yom HaAtzmaut in Ponevezh, despite the fact that the Ponevezher Rav omitted it. So we are obligated to follow the CURRENT gedolim who pasken without a doubt that ZIONISM IS KEFIRA!!!
