Religious Opposition to Zionism

Yisroel discusses the historical resistance of religious Jewish communities to Zionism, emphasizing that many viewed it as blasphemy and a violation of divine command. He highlights the significant opposition from leading rabbis who compiled their views in a book, asserting that the movement was not accepted by a large segment of the Jewish world. Additionally, he touches on the political backing from Britain that facilitated the creation of a Jewish state, largely disregarding the sentiments of the religious communities in the region.
