What about Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef who permits hallel?

Jul 26 2012

You dont even address those religious Gedolim who call themselves zionists(with no relation to secular zionism)i.e Hacham Mordechai Eliyahu or those who permit hallel without a baracha i.e Rav Ovadiah Yosef.

Why do you turn Jews away instead of being mekarev them?

Jul 26 2012

The early Zionists weren't religious. They were anti-religious. Yet you expect them to uphold what the Gemara said about not taking the land of Israel by force.

How do you know the Zionist state wasn't send by G-d to save the Jews?

Why don't you show love for your Jewish brethren?

Jul 11 2012

Dear Rabbi,

Fighting Zionism is like fighting chalav stam
