The very possession of governmental control in Eretz Yisroel is a sin. The opposition to Zionism extends only to governmental control over EY, and to the idea of a Jewish “homeland” before Moshiach. Living in Eretz Yisroel has nothgin to do with Zionism c”v, and the reason for it is to fulfill the Mitzvos or the land, to live in its holiness, and, acocrding to some opinions, to fulfill the Mitzvah of living in EY which may apply nowadays. These Mitzvos and concpets applied equally before there was a Medinah as they do after. And they apply today to someone who lives in Southern Lebanon, which Halachicly is part of Eretz Yisroel, as much as in Tel Aviv.
Opposition to the government is due to the fact that there is much to oppose there. The heretics that run the government there have no right to violate the Torah, and no right to put Jews in danger, and no right to even present themselevs or their Medinah as representative of the Jewish People. All Jews have a right to live in Eretz Yisroel and fulfill the Torah – including opposing the government where appropriate – and no elected officials have a right to tell them they cant.
The Zionists were warned by the Gedolim that is they go through with their idea of making a Jewish State in Eretz Yisroel, they will be surrounded by hundreds of millions of Arabs, who were instigated by the Zionists’ threat of taking away the land where they live and making it into a Jewish State, into becomeing bloodthirsty enemies of the Jews, which will result in endless slaughter of Jewish lives. They heard this would happen but not being religious, they thought that having our own land will make us just like everyone else, and we will not be hated any longer. Our Tzadikim understood that anti-semitism hsa nothgin to do with social issues but rathre is a spiritual reality and that the “we-will-blow-you-all-up-with-our-tanks-if-you-start-up-with-us” attitude of the Zionists only serves to put Jewish lives all over the world in danger and just increase anti-semitism. Which it did.
So now you ask what to do? I dont know. I dont think there is a anything to do to “solve” the problem. We need to constantly see what to do to protect each and every Jew in EY and elsewhere, but the problem of the Arabs wanting the land will not be solved. And it cannot be solved by abolishing the Medinah because due to the behavior of the Zionists over the past 50 years the Arabs now hate our guts and want to kill us all, which makes giving the Medinah to the Arabs a terrible idea. After the Medinah was created, there was no going back. The problem was created, and, al pi derech hatevah, will be with us till Mohsiach comes. Only Hashem can get us out of this one. We have to return to Him with all our hearts and pray for His salvation.
