I don't see why you insist on Talmud or Torah support for or against your post.

Because it is the premise of the speech.

Yes, it is the premise of the speach by a part of the Jewish people. My point was that this speach was also made at the time of the partition and creation of the state of Israel and Jews argued on both sides. Those who put their faith in the return of the Messiah believed that the Jewish state would be reborn by His efforts. Others believed that the scriptures had ample room for interpretation on this point, and how do we know that this is not the way the Jewish state should be reborn? I subscribe to the belief that enough searching in the Talmud and the Torah and you can defend most points of view. To identify the stronger side requires a clear moral understanding of the issues at the present time as well.

That the state should be reborn at the cost of many deaths ignors that there were many deaths that could have been prevented had their been a Jewish state prior to WW II. At any rate, a topic that purports to point towards a middle east peace seems to be high on blame and low on direction.
