Joseph, I did regret making a certain statement ONCE and ,if you remember, I asked mechillah from all. I also promised never to use that phrase again.I will accept your apologies and I will tell you that I am very proud to be an “apologist” for the Zionists and for the medinah. My very voluminous postings show why I believe in that shittah today, in spite of its many shortcomings. You (and others) have strongly disagreed. So be it. At least, this is par for this course.I have not made attacks of any kind on rabbonim and you can check that too.
As far as the story of Kastner, what I fail to understand is why you and other detractors of Kastner are so vehement about this episode of the Holocaust. I came into this some time ago and my only consistent position has been that no one knows what really happened. I came to Kastner’s defense because I think that no one knows the real story and especially in view of the fact that who knows how WE would have reacted in those difficult moments.
I can only come to the conclusion that, on this website, Kastner stands in for all those ‘evil Zionists” and you and all the others are assuaging your conscience on the Holocaust by painting those “evil Zionists” in the blackest way.
In reality, this is a sterile debate. I prefer to talk about Eretz yisroel today and yes, the success of the Medinah. You will disagree but at least, this is a real debate.
