You can believe whatever you want. However saying “you don’t belong on this forum” is not proper behavior. I didn’t say anything like that to you, did I? Why do you need to take things personally? What is it with some people, particularly Americans, that they cannot separate political / religious opinions from basic human behavior and decency? Why do you feel a need to attack someone merely because they hold a different opinion?
As for your “erev rav” comment: I think it is pathetic to accuse any frum Jews of being the “erev rav”. If you would want to accuse someone of being the “erev rav” I think the Liberals / Reform / Conservatives are a much more likely candidate for that category.
Personally, I think those who go around attacking Arabs and burning down mosques, leading to the international media to report that “Orthodox Jews deface mosques”, constitute the most dangerous type of “erev rav” possible.
Speaking about that – I don’t see a real threat in the State of Israel. When I speak about opposing Zionism, I do not believe the State of Israel should disappear or anything like that. I mean, it really should, maybe, but we all know that’s not going to happen and it’s not a realistic goal, that state exists and it will most likely remain until Moshiach arrives. No, what really deserves our attention and our protest is the actions of the extreme-right wing there who seek every single opportunity to incite the Arabs, to inflame the situation even further. Those who go on Har HaBayis, those who build more and more illegal outposts, those who attack Arabs and mosques, those who spread racism, who love hatred. They are the ones who are truly dangerous.
