Reply To: Why was the National Anthem or G-D Bless Ameirica not sung by Siyum Hashas?

So, bottom line. Hatikva wasn’t sung at the Siyum HaShas because (tongue firmly planted in cheek) clearly the medina represents everything that is wrong with the world. But america, the goldener medina, where nobody is forced to serve in the army, whose entitlement programs probably support more torah than anyone in the world bar none (well perhaps aside from “the medina) and whose policies and culture help foster growth in yiras shamayim, surely her national anthem should have been sung.
