Do they not realize that their public displays serve to legitimize the actions of anti-semites to harm ALL Jews?
I have yet to meet a Jew that realizes this….
Not ALL the rabbis — some gedolim were Zionists
I think I know what you’re getting at, but I don’t have time to look into it before Shabbos begins. But you mean like Rav Kook,etc, right?
Are we talking about the same thing here though? For instance, the rabbis were not against Jews making aliyah & small groups of Jews always have been making aliyah for the past 2,000 years. They were all for that. But the rabbis were against the massive “wall” of Jews making an “Aliyah”, since they knew that it would disrupt the inhabitants of the land…which as we see it did.
