zionism

Question

I see that the topic of zionism has been brought up. Could you please elaborate on your father's opinion on this? It seems from your few posts that your father's opinions differs from that of the gedolim of the last generation. Rav Elchonon Wasserman zt'l called it " possibly the worst tragedy to befall klal yisroel. " Other gedolim such as the chazon ish zt'l, the chofetz chaim zt'l, Rav Moshe zt'l, and your father's rebbe, Rav Ahron zt'l, took a similar, if not identical, view. It seems from your posts that the creation of the state is okay if not for the fact that it was created by non-religious jews. However these gedolim all felt that it was a violation of the oaths, even if created by religious jews. I know the maharal meprague held it was yehareg vall yavor to violate the oaths. Am i misunderstanding you? Thank you for all your time and effort.

I didn't discuss it in that way at all, and I don't plan on having hypothetical discussions. I don't think you can deduce what you did from any of my comments. Is this just an opportunity to present the issue? AA
