Who can really blame them? They have no Torah backgrounds so they came to hate Israel because that's all they hear on the street and read in the media ....
They don't bentch where we bless Eretz Yisroel in every single bracha... and they don't daven Shemonah Esra where we beg Hashem to return us to Zion three times a day.....
My question is .... how far is their non-Torah thinking from the now Satmar/Yeshivish Torah thinking? What do they think when they utter the words:
נודה לך ה' אלקינו על שהנחלת לאבותינו, ארץ חמדה טובה ורחבה
וברכת את ה' אלקך על הארץ הטובה
על הארץ ועל המזון
What is going thru their minds when they say those words?
Do they really believe that?
They answer ...Israel has chillul shabbos etc ....
well why don't you skip those words in bentching....?
For 2,000 years the land lay desolate ... there was hardly anyone there.... it only became ארץ חמדה ..... when Jews came back to inhabit her.
You don't like the Jews living there? Then why are you any different than the Harvard Students?
What makes you different? Because you put on tefillin and in your box it says :
והיה כי-יבאך ה' אל ארץ הכנעני
But you don't believe what's in the box ... if you really believed it why are you building monstrous shuls on 15th Ave? On 48th street? On Rodney Street?
Why are you paying over $1,800 for a pair of tefillin when in your heart you don't believe a word that is in those tefillin?
Why are you saying .... לשנה הבאה בירושלים?
Why?
You mean on vacation? ...Is that what the Baal Haggadah meant?
Oh! I get it ... you are waiting for Moshiach to come!
Liar!!!
If you were waiting for Moshiach to come you would run right now to buy property in Israel...
Tell me again.... why are you any different than the misguided naive Harverd students?

A group of undergraduate students at Harvard University has formed what they call an “anti-Zionist Jewish organization” that supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel.
The Harvard Jewish Coalition for Peace introduced itself in a public statement posted Monday on Facebook as “a new organization founded in the idea that Jewish liberation is inextricably bound up with the liberation of all people.”
The group said it will focus on Palestinian solidarity work; fighting anti-Semitism and for the safety of Jews and all people through solidarity; and creating Jewish spaces and events outside of Hillel.
