Think big, I’m not interested in your polemic. Moreover, if you want to blame other Jews for anti-Semitism (which is the canard employed by the amti-Semites) feel free to do so. Personally, I look at myself as a Jew in a more favorable light. But I gues we all see different things when we (colectively) look in the mirror. You see Jews as the cause of their misfortune, I see Jews overcoming their misfortune and thriving despite it. And BTW, did you ever bother to consider what might have been had the Torah world followed Rav Kook’s lead? Of course we can never know. Sadder yet we’ll never have the opportunity to find out.

But let’s get down to tachlis. On a practicle level, please consider the consequences of you’re being right about zionism being moribund. If you don’t like those all too obvious consequences what are YOU (I mean you in the collective sense) prepared to do abnout it. And Please spare me some saccharine platitude about faith in the HKB”H. G-d does not expect us to sit on the sideliens as spectators in His game of life. We are the players He put on earth. Moreover, such sanguine protestations of faith didn’t stop the bullet from peircing R. Elchanan Wasserman’s head. Nor did they stop the Satmer Rav from saving his skin with the help of a Zionist. The extreme’s of R. Elchanan Wasserman’s faith led to his unnecessary death, and those of his disciples, while that of the Satmer Rav led to his ultimate hypocrisy.
