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

You and a number of gedolim (no, I am not putting you in the category of those gedolim) have stated such an issur. Many others disagree with you, and those gedolim. Be that as it may, and I have no desire to get into a halachic discussion, its been discussed, argued and rehashed ad naseum, your argument that the current hatred from the arabs is centered on the establishment of the state, then why dont you put forth the argument that the state be dismantled and the reigns given over to the current PA leadership, or the current hamas leadership, after all, once there is no more medina, they have nothing to hate us for. Lastly, if you truly believe that giving the land to turkey will not result in jewish blood being shed, you must really be drinking spiked kool aid. Can I have a sip, must really be good stuff.
