“an Israeli Yid” – is that another Zionist ignore-the-facts approach in a futile attempt to be mitaher the A”Z of Zionism?
Of course Hashgacha Pratis did not stop in 1948. Who said it did?
And who said nothing before and after that was a maaseh Satan?
One can also infer from the Brisker Rov’s words that this is not the case:
Again, as the Brisker Rov stated, “The State of Israel was the Satan’s greatest triumph since the Egel.”
Notice he said “**greatest** accomplishment since the egel”, not the “only” one. This implies that there were other triumphs (and could certainly be others post-1948, as well) but that none of those other accomplishments were **as great** as the Satan’s accomplishment in creating the State of Israel.
Zionists just can’t stop putting out these non-substantive “arguments” which, since these aren’t serious and do not address the myriad problems with their idolatrous theology, simply mean that Zionists are so infatuated with their idolatry R”L that they either can’t or simply don’t want to consider the overwhelming evidence contrary to their idolatrous fallacies.
As I posted above:
“Religious Zionism” is, as Rav Elchonon said, Religion and A”Z.
And Matisyahu’s post in the thread mentioned there is a great read on this topic.
May Hashem redeem us all with the true geulah when we will all be zoche to the true geulah with “Umalah HaAretz Deiah es Hashem…”, without any, CH”V, idolatry of Zionism, BB”A.
