would have been Neturei Karta or <BR>Satmar in his attitude towards the
modern Israeli state if he were alive <BR>today. I am certain that
is NOT true. He would have been RWO, non-Zionist but <BR>would have
viewed developments in E'Y as overwhelmingly positive and a sign of

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT size=3>I simply don't understand how anyone can predict
how the Holocaust and the actual creation of the State of Israel would have
affected RSRH's thinking about Zionism. One can as easily say that he
would have become the Honorary President of Mizrachi as say that he would be NT,
Satmar or RWO. Oh, sorry, that was a different gadol who switched
from being a member of the presidium of Agudah to the Honorary President of
Mizrachi after the Holocaust. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
