BS”D
But those ARE NOT the words of what is sung in the medine. “Lihyot am chofshi beartzeinu” was added later if what you have is the original text.
And sorry to say but every Chabad Chossid has nothing but contempt for the medine especially after Gush Katif (and if he keeps it quiet it is because he has to do so in order to get more important parts of Yiddishkeit across).
With the exception of one menuval who was thrown out of Chabad by the Rebbe ZYA (a VERY difficult achievement that I believe was shared by only one other person, a violent mecharcher riv whose name I cannot share because I know only his surname and confusion will result if I post that), I am not putting down other Jews.
If you feel that bringing sources against an entity that has done so many negative things to Jews is putting down other Jews, then you must feel very insecure knowing perhaps that you mistakenly support the medine only because it is “politically correct” to do so, or that Rav Kook ZL really does not have much of an halachic leg to stand on (most of his writings are very emotional in nature) and that in any case few people really follow in his ways especially after the Gush Katif disaster that showed what the medine really does to protect Jews by giving up land won bederech ness and letting Kassams rain down on the poorest of its citizens.
Gut shabbos everyone – I am in the same timezone as that entity which means that Shabbos will soon be here.
