Hakatan- I am not blaming anyone chas vishalom- I am just reporting the brisker rav’s thought on the moetzes decision that the state will come about. From what I understand the gedolim that allowed it said that it should be religious as well. That was their decision. They said that- 11yrs prior to founding of state and before the holocaust- it is very possible that because of the holocaust the practical outcome of the state becoming primarily religious had changed because many frum Jews were killed and Torah institutions were uprooted during that time. Plus the gedolim at the time were dealing with a theoretical issue as the state required a lot more items in the process to come about. Plus that is all based on a story from the brisker rav’s position on the issue – it does not mean that the that everyone held that bizmanenu their decisions would make the outcome
