<DIV>While it's true that the Rav was a very complex person, and while it's also
true that there is a great deal of revisionism going on concerning the Rav's
legacy, it is simply impossible for "anti-Zionists" to claim the Rav in light
of Chamesh Derashot, Kol Dodi Dofek and the Rav's breaking with his family
by leaving Agudah and assuming the honorary presidency of Mizrachi. And
"he never talked about it in shiur." So what?; that was shiur. He
talked about it where appropriate; i.e., in his numerous lectures for Mizrachi
and in KDD.</DIV>
