The ‘quote’ (mis)attributed here to the Chazon Ish regarding yain nesech doesn’t make sense at all ??????, and IMHO could not have been said by him. (Or else something is missing from the statement or the context.) The burden of proof is on whoever makes such a sensational claim to provide verifiable sources.
Seriously folks, on both sides of the never ending fight, let’s try to understand:
1. SECULAR ZIONISM IS LONG SINCE DEAD AND BURIED.
Secular Zionism is the belief that by establishing a state the Jews would be accepted into the ‘family of nations’ as equals, ending antisemitism. In other words: ??? ????? ??? ?????. That is straight ?????????. That was the real goal, and settling the Land was simply the means to the goal, but a state in Uganda would also have been fine for them. That is what the ?????? were fighting against, and all quotations on this subject pertain to an era when that belief was current. At the time, there were unfortunately ‘religious’ Jews who bought into that ideal. (Not the Uganda stuff, but the idea of ‘auto-emancipation’.) Nowadays no sane person can seriously believe any of this, because it is so painfully obvious that Zionism did nothing to ameliorate antisemitism, and the Jewish people will never be accepted by the Goyim, with or without a state. (Not a surprise for us…)
2. THE RESHAIM CURRENTLY FIGHTING ?? ??? ??????? IN ??? ????? ARE NOT ZIONISTS.
The Secular Left in Israel today mostly subscribe to what has been referred to as ‘Post-Zionism’, meaning they believe that the whole concept of a Jewish State is wrong and unethical, and they seek to establish a ‘State of all it’s citizens’. Vis-a-vis the ‘Palestinian’ issue, this is sometimes referred to as the ‘One State Solution’. This comes from the postmodern/progressive opposition to nationalism in general. They are viciously anti-religious and pro ?????, as well as all the other garbage Progressives hold dear. Some of the more extreme ones actively help enemies of the State of Israel, as has been reported on this site in several articles.
3. NOT ALL OF TODAY’S ‘RELIGIOUS ZIONISTS’ EVEN BELIEVE IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL AS ????? ????? ??????? ETC.
The term ‘Religious Zionist’ as used today encompasses a broad range of groups, from people who are barely ???? ????? altogether, to those who are completely Chareidi in their lifestyle and standards of Yiddishkeit, but they also believe in building settlements on the hills of the Shomron to hasten the ?????. Many of the latter groups do not even hold of the State, or even serve in the Army. In fact, it is well known that boys who show up to the ???? ????? wearing a certain ‘look’ associated with certain ‘Religious Zionist’ groups are usually rejected automatically…
