But I do agree with you that he had an almost unsurpassed ahavah of Eretz Yisroel and his fellow Yidden.

Obviously, w/o that point being agreed on there is very little to discuss as far as control when Moshiach will come, etc. <br /><br />But before then, so you know, I'm a big fan of everyone who wants living in Eretz Yisroel. The more the merrier! Vicki:

I think we can agree to disagree here because I am coming from a secular perspective, one that acknowledges that Jews have a clear claim to the land based on some archaeology that verifies that some events in the Tanakh did happen and that it is our homeland; but, at the same time, just because it is ours doesn't mean it also isn't the Arabs', who also have lived on it for generations.

To be able to see and experience our storied history "first-hand" and see the beauty of the land is more meaningful to me than politics.

Also, I love that wherever I go in EY I am surrounded by my brothers and sisters. That is what means to most to me.

No, he doesn't- the most ultra-orthodox (hareidi) Jews -like him- do not believe that we own this land...yet.<br /><br />But in all fairness, when Moshiach comes, iy"h, the land will revert to our control. And the fact of the matter is that the land was given to us, according to the Torah, etc. If you would like more sources re this please feel free to Twitter/Email me and I'd be glad to provide them.<br /><br />-YG Vicki:
