GAW, Kook’s kookery – being maspid Hertzel(!) – directly led to Avi’s tragicomic thinking. This makes him either a maisis, or, as Rabbi Wein (no kanoi by any stretch) describes him, “a gentle but confused soul.” Which is the best you can say about him.
1: All the Gedolim mentioned earlier in the thread would not say bad things about Rav Kook. Who are you compared to the Gedolim?!
2: Would you say the same about ???????? ??? ???? ? How about ?????? ?? ?????? The Lubavitcher Rebbe? R’ Akiva? (Re: Bar Kochba) How about the Satmer Rov R’ Yoel (re: A vs. Z & the violence in Beis Shemesh)?
3: A Mesis is a very strong term and has a halachic definition. This is not it.
I mostly agree with AinOhdMilvado, but will add one point. Hertzel was no different than any Sar, and Lev Melachim V’Sarim B’yad Hashem. He must have had some sort of Zechus to help give birth to such a Machazik Torah like the Medinah.
