Neither logic nor lomdus penetrates the hate-addled brains of a small minority of supposedly frum Jews who built a whole ideology around hating on a movement that has been defunct for decades. The facts (as elucidated very well by posters here): Rubum shel Rubum of halachic authorities believe(d) that living in E”Y is a Chiyuv, and that Aliya B’choma for a number of reasons doesn’t apply. In less than a few decades, “Tziyoinim” will be an insignificant minority group compared to the Chareidi demographic in E”Y, that will soon outgrow all others. There are 7 million Jews in E”Y and growing. We need a government to build/maintain roads, collect garbage, deter crime, and even defend Jewish inhabitants from enemies. We hope and pray we are witnessing Shivas Tzion but either way, the option of living in E”Y is a big gift from Hashem to be appreciated and valued, not scorned. If you think it’s chalila a curse, compliments of the so called Zionists, stay in Chutz L’Aretz, you won’t make it here anyway.
