Avhaben: He had the very logical Shittah that we must recognize the Nissim and be thankful to HKBH for what He gave us in Eretz Yisrael now while at the same time acknowledging that the current government has major faults. You’re repeating what he says. Moreover, by using the far-too-broad term “Zionist”, you’re confusing what he says. The definition of a “Zionist” even then (and certainly nowadays) was very different than the definition of a “secular Zionist” that the Gedolim in the early 20th century fought so strongly against. Almost every religious Zionist will tell you that those secular Zionists did not have Yiddishkeit’s best interests at heart, to say the least. But using one term “Zionist” to combine both camps is misleading and only causes more (unintended, usually) hatred.
