Joseph, vey well put.
Rabbi of Berlin, may i attempt to give you different perspective?
You and Poshut keep saying we have our facts wrong about what happened during ww2 and the founding of the state. We think you have your facts wrong. Its simple. Did you ever hear of the play-on-words, that history is HIS STORY? It is probably safe to assume that both sides are emphasizing (exagerating?) what they want to and ommitting what they dont want known. Every reporter is going to use his own bias to cover the story the way he wants to.
So all we have is to look to our gedolim to understand how to view the war, the zionists etc. Their perspective of daas torah is what counts, not what the “reporters” choose to report.
Btw to insinuate that the tzaddik visiting the prison in any way shows his support of zionism is about as far fetched as can be. What about visiting them to be mechazek them because they are jews?
