truthsharer, why are statements prior to 1948 irrelevant?
Besides, the Chazon Ish and Brisker Rov, among others, had plenty to say after 1948. Like instructing the baal tefillah to say tachanun on Israel’s Yom HaAtzmaut even though there was a bris to take place that morning.
The only difference among Torah authorities from before 1948 to afterwards is the tactical approach to dealing with Zionism. Some held it was assur to have any part of it while others held that it was permitted to work to save what could be saved even from within Zionist organs like its “Knesset”. But the treif of Zionism.
Is anyone so misinformed/uninformed that they (very mistakenly) believe that the gedolim’s opposition to Zionism stopped in 1948?
