HaKatan – I have, in fact, read significant parts of the Satmar Rav Z”L’s magnum opus, and I definitely do think – which is why I don’t follow Satmar’s shita. If you actually read my response, I’m questioning the Satmar version of the “facts” – i.e., that all was just wonderful for Jews in Arab-ruled lands prior to the arrival of “evil Zionists”, as well as their absolute conviction that the existance of the State of Israel is a Ma’ase Satan, rather than a Chessed from HKB”H.
You should try learning some Sefarim by those who disagreed with the Satmar Rav yourself, even if you continue to follow Satmar – at least you should acknowledge that there is a basis for other views. May I recommend Eim HaBanim Semecha, by Rav Teichtel HY”D, as a starting point? He was an acknoweldged Gadol in pre-war Europe who was killed by the Nazis YM”SH, but his Sefer, written in 1943-44, survived.
