Avi K -“Health,
1. Convince him to be mitgayer and then come yourself and promote his party.”
You’re not allowed to go seek Goyim for Geyrus. He should rule as a Goy.
As long as Moshiach isn’t here -EY has to governed by Goyim.
“2.All of the rabbbanim of our generation with the exception of a small handful agree that we are in atchalta d’Geula.”
False! All of the rabbbanim of our generation & the previous one, with the exception of a small handful, agree that we are NOT in atchalta d’Geula!
“3. Nobody in Israel is or was ever forced to work on Shabbat.”
Wrong! They were forced to in the ’50’s – to work on Shabbos in the Jewish Agency’s absorption camps!
“4. Israel is not a treif medina as it is the fulfillment of a mitzva d’Oraita and according to all opinions, even those of Leftists, it has and should continue to have a Jewish character. This or that politician or government has nothing to do with the Medina as a medina.”
The Israeli government is Treif and this is what I mean by saying Treif Medina. Nothing to do with EY proper.
“5. Rambam says (Hilchot Melachim 5:12) that it is better to live in EY in a city whose majority are idolators than a city in Chutz La’Aretz whose majority are Jews.”
Acc. to Gedolim, this doesn’t apply nowadays. This would only apply if the gov. weren’t a bunch of Kofrim!
