@HaKatan: Its not “people” who were zionists. Irs gedolim that were zionsits. The “people” followed the gedolim. Who says Satmar Rav or Brisk was the only gadol. Should I relist the gedolim who supported zionsim. Lets start with all the rizyna rebas. If you’d like call me a rizyna chusid. Am i Kofer now? Yes or no?
Re R Elishyav : I told you already. You mix up two things. Zionism and secularism. His alleged issue with the WZO was because its secular and not just the torah. The fact that he worked for the state tells you he isn’t anti zionsim as long as its torahdik. (His work was in torah)
If its so easy to find these letters against R Kook then go find them. Are you shy? And like I said its doesn’t prove he dodn’t hold of R Kook in pricnpial. He didn’t hold of R Kook being so mushy with secular anti torah. Again the issue wasn’t zionism. I challnege you to walk in to Ger or R Shual Alter and ask them.
But lets circle back to my main point. Lets say I am a rizyna chusid. Am I kofer now for believing in my “reba” who held of zionsim ? yes or no will suffice. (Oh only Satmar & Brisk is correct and noone else matter)
