I’m already in E”Y, B”H, so I can’t come 😛 . For all who do come, thank you for having a realistic outlook about things and not just blindly dismissing everything. Yehi Ratzon that you are going to make Aliya, and if you do, to a better Medina than there is at the moment.
For those who criticize the Medina, I agree it is NOT perfect in every, or even MOST of the ways. As a settler, I have witnessed first-hand the injustices against religious Yidden and against patriots by the police who follow the Medina’s campaign of self-destruction and appeasement to Obama and the “UN” Yimach Shmam. But I still live here, and happily! PBA: this ‘maase satan’ is a product of your imagination. Read the sefer Hatkufa Hagedolah by HaRav Kasher zt”l. An eye-opening work, I say. You will see the list of rabbonim who supported the Medina, and the reasons why. There is another sefer that has a long list of Rabbonim and quotes on their support (I don’t remember the name, I’ll check today in the Beis Medrash and post it later). But believe me, their support did not depend on whether it is to their liking at first or not (Well, at least most of them…). It was the IDEA of a medina they supported. I know that some of the aforementioned Rabbonim got disillusioned with the idea because it didn’t fit the image of a religious state, but that is NOT a majority. We waited 2,000 years for our own Medina, and just because in the first 63 years of independence it dosen’t fit our dreams dosen’t mean we should follow NK and go kiss and make up with Sonei Yisrael like Ahmadinejad Yimach Shmo. We waited 2,000 years for an opportunity for this, we can wait a little bit more to see the product before dismissing it as ‘maase satan’. As the Israelis say: ‘??? ???’.
