cantoresq, I don’t know what you believe regarding the matter or not, but the canard that the “European Rabbis” somehow prevented European Jewry from escaping is one of the major so-called “defenses” of the zionists for their WWII activities.
rabbiofberlin, Why don’t you ask any of those Yeshivos/Mosdos/Chasiduses if they consider themselves “crypto-Zionists”? Either they’ll burst out laughing or they’ll feel real bad for you. In any event, you have a very unconventional definition of zionism, something it clearly does not mean. Based on your redefinition, many of the Yeshivos/Mosdos/Chasiduses including Hagoen Rav Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld, the Satmar Rebbe, Neteurei Karta, etc. would be zionists since they are based in Eretz Yisroel. The mere fact that an institution compromised and agreed to participate in the functional organs of the medina (i.e. elections and financing) hardly makes them zionists. Nevertheless, I hardly expect you to allow yourself to be convinced of this obvious.
