I failed to explain myself properly. I always believe that G-d is in the drivers seat controlling Jewish history. We will never understand G-d’s reasons for allowing the holocaust to occur. But afterwards the Jewish people were so demoralized that if He had not restored us to our land and granted us some sovereignty, we would have (G-d forbid) given up. In Egypt 3300 years ago the Jews were also on the edge of complete demoralization and Redemption had to come before we gave up.
Based upon this line of thinking those who say the entire Jewish State is from the Sitra Achra (closest English translation – “dark side of the force) are in fact denying G-d’s Providence with the Jewish people.
Joseph: Your virulent attacks on Zionism and the Jewish State are attacks on one of the pillars of my faith.
