in the blink of an eye

As the first rays of the morning sun. Like Howard Zinn made a career out of destroying or at least exposing America’s founding myths as being blatant lies founded on a contrived aegis of moral rectitude, wisdom and a few sprinkles of manifest destiny. As to much the same malaise, the identical imperial project can be attributed to Israel so goes it for Israel as well, that Zionism has brought tragedy upon jews and to some extent the entire world, being based as it is in the center of the world. Gunter Grass aside, Israel the state, is an instrument, a tool; Do you blame the prostitute or the pimp? The small dope pusher or the grower/distributor?

Chabad Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpo, an ardent messianist is perhaps the most visibly political Chabad Rabbi involved in a number of controversial campaigns, and has called for people not to celebrate Israeli Independence Day in response to Ariel Sharon’s disengagement plan. He told a conference in Jerusalem that “the remedy for the disengagement is to understand that the State of Israel is a terrible thing. We should not bless or praise the state that was founded by criminals and heretics like Herzl.” Read More:http://www.chabad-mafia.com/israel.php

Anyone who says that the State of Israel is the beginning of the Redemption is comparable to someone who says that the making of the Golden Calf en route to conquering the land is part of the redemption from Egypt….

…May G-d protect us from such a “Redemption,” starting when many of our fellow Jews are being driven from their faith while actually in
Eretz HaKodesh itself – the exact opposite of what the Rambam writes about Moshiach compelling the Jewish People to walk in the path of
Torah. Jews uproot other Jews from the heritage of their forefathers, destroy flourishing settlements, demolish synagogues and yeshivos,
hand over portions of Eretz HaKodesh (including some of the most strategic) to those who seek to harm them, establish a terrorist state
on the Jewish homeland – the exact opposite of what the Rambam writes about Moshiach winning “the wars of G-d.”…Read More:http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4018993,00.html

And what of Herzl, the values of secularism as ideology, and the common belief that the establishment of the state portends to a spiritual significance, part of the larger plan of in-gathering of exiles as symbol of the “end of days” :

Anyone who says that the State of Israel is the beginning of the Redemption is comparable to someone who says that the making of the Golden Calf en route to conquering the land is part of the redemption from Egypt. ( Shalom Dov Wolpo)

WHO WAS THE “VISIONARY OF THE STATE” –
THEODOR HERZL?
“About two years ago, I wanted to solve the Jewish question…with the help of the Catholic Church. I asked…to obtain an audience with
the Pope, in order to tell him…I am creating a large movement among Jews so that they will come freely and proudly to Christianity…openly…with bells ringing…without shame…but with pride.”
“Writings of Herzl,” Vol. 2, Diary 1 (Neumann Publishing, 5720)

“He saw conversion as merely a step in the disappearance into non-Jewish society, as he explained himself: ‘Children should be baptized
before they can be responsible for their actions, before they can act for or against…they m

disappear in large numbers.’”
“Herzl,” Amos Elon (Am Oved Publishing, 5737

“Herzl educated his children in the lap of the Christian religion. On the twentieth anniversary of his death, his son converted from Judaism
to Christianity. When the press attacked him for his actions, he publicized his father’s diaries, where it shows that he refused to
circumcise his son, lit the Xmas tree each year, and ordered the teachers to pray the Christian prayers with his children, morning and
night.” “Splendors From The Past,” Joseph Nedava, 5721, p. 69 Read More:http://beismoshiach.org/_pdf/566.pdf
