HaKatan and Benignunan,
1. Nmae these “early poskim” and cite the places where they make these statements. Rambam in “Iggeret Teiman” says explicitly
“derech mashal” and does not bring them in Mishna Tora.
2. The Oaths did not do a very good job of protecting us.This menas that the deal is off. Other opinions, such as Rav Chaim Vital’s, are snifim, as anyone who has learned Halacha knows.
3. If rav Soloveichik’s opinion is no raaya because he was a Zionist, the Satmar Rebbe’s and Brisker Rav’s are also not raayot as they were anti-Zionists.
4. The forgeries were committed by the anti-Zionists. They censored the Chatam Sofer’s statementr (Sukka 35a) that any work one does in EY is part of the mitzva of building hte land and forged various letters (see “Forged Letters Against Zionism”).
5. Anyone can make up terutzim regarding Rav Cahaneman flying the flag. The fact is, he flew it.
6. On the contrary, Rav Moshe allowed of flying the flag even in shul (although he did not approve of it in the shul itself – but he would have had no problem with it outside) and said that it was to show love for the state (Iggrot Moshe Orech Chaim 1:46). Rav Soloveichik said that it is kadosh.
7. You are the ones who have nothing on which to stand. You are simply looking straight at the truth and saying “no, no, it can’t be”.
