R’ Yaakov Shapiro’s Site’s List of Anti-Zionist Quotes – One Comment

The website “True Torah Jews” is now TorahJews.org. (I guess they feel they are winning.)

They have a section called “Rabbinic Quotes“. They of course foolishly quote Torah sages throughout the ages (mostly far before all the events which overturned the Oaths). That’s like quoting testimonies a woman is unmarried given before the marriage came to pass.

One particularly ridiculous distortion is the page for Rabbi Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, author of Ohr Somayach. The humble editors of this collection of rabbinic quotes (ostensibly just trying to make the rabbis’ voices heard!) bring 2 innocuous quotes from the Meshech Chochma but somehow forget to mention the well-known letter by Rabbi Meir Simcha after the San Remo declaration (סר פחד השבועות)…

They also ignore the glaring dearth of anti-Zionist proclamations on Rabbi Meir Simcha’s part from even before.

P.S., The old website used to include here a known forgery by the infamous anti-Zionist inventor of dozens of nonexistent rabbinic letters against Zionism, with zero credibility, that is Chaim Bloch! (There may be similar specimens still left on R’ Shapiro’s site.)
