I actually do agree with you about some of this. The christians persecuted us quite severly in the past. That doesn’t mean anything about your other point though. The different nations take turns bashing our skulls in and now it’s the moslems. That’s the point – it’s not zionism, it’s just their turn. That doesn’t mean we should let it happen. You need to recognize the fact that right now the christians are relatively good to us but the moslems are not the ones you want ruling over you. That’s why I cringe at akuperma’s and Confucious’ comments that we should live peacefully under the moslems and the only reason they don’t like us is because of zionism.
As for me, I choose to wake up and smell the galut. That’s why I don’t think we should live under the rule of the christians OR the moslems. Certainly akuperma will jump on the fact that it’s better than living under the horrible zionists who are all anti-Torah. He’s wrong! The beginnings of the zionist movement were anti-religion but apparently akuperma has missed the past 60+ years of it. There have been a few changes once the frum Jews finally woke up. There are wonderful things, religious things going on here now! I just heard a radio ad today on a horrible zionist radio station reminding us all that there’s a daf yomi shiur every morning at 5:00 AM. This is a beautiful country and it’s our job to make it better.
Just a note – the satmar shita on the state of Israel is actually the minority – I mean the original Satmar rebbe’s opinion on the topic that the current satmar movement bases their rhetoric on. The rest of the Torah shitot on the topic may or may not have agreed with the Jews coming back to Israel to create a state but none of them would advocate the extreme things that the Satmar do now that it’s here. So, it’s here and it’s time for all Jews to come here and make it a better place.
