mdd, I did mention both sides of the Moetzes debate, for what that debate was worth. Since you obviously missed it before, here is Rabbi Reisman, as quoted in the Flatbush Jewish Journal:

“Although most of the Torah rabbis opposed the establishment of a Jewish state in our ancient homeland, once it was established in 1948, the attitude of some leading rabbis changed to one of working with the government…As Rabbi Reuven Grozovsky wrote, the ideals don’t change. The ideal of sticking to the three oaths remains. But because the facts on the ground have changed, therefore our behavior is different.”

Notice he wrote “most of the Torah rabbis”, not “Brisk/Satmar” rabbis. Notice also that even after 1948 “sticking to the three oaths remains”. So regarding lying/distorting, is this, perhaps, a case of kol haPoseil biMumo Poseil?

To clarify your mistake, it is the Zionists who have no answers.
