avhaben – Then it should be so in chutz l’aaretz too (it’s not).
Health – Free access? Free to put up mechitzot, read from siddurim etc? History records otherwise. I suppose you believe that’s a zionist plot though.
More Torah learning without the medinah funding millions into it? Then it should be so in chutz l’aaretz too (it’s not).
The medinah is far from perfect, but I’m not about to pretend it somehow slipped through the net of hashgacha pratis. According to the Rambam’s first principle of faith, it’s heresy to suggest that the Jewish people’s return to Eretz Yisrael is anything other than the will of Hashem. So too, I think it’s pretty shameful that you would let the medinah be your excuse not to fulfill the mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisrael and follow the pretty clear directives of tzaddikim from the Gra/Besht to today.
