Be careful with your writing/ talking as well. Words like these will only cause an emotional response (maybe not here, but depending with whom you are speaking). Instead of dealing with the issues these types of conversations lead to my Rabbi vs. your Rabbi debate. Which no one wins because each has his own ego and his own "team" they are cheering for.
I mean that phrase based on the quality of the arguments, not the personalities involved. It could not be more clear that Rav Yosef's justification of the israeli govt contradicts the mishna and the unassailable way to understand the overall issue. Anyone can "take him to the cleaners" by pointing this out in a clear and concise way, and Rabbi Bar Hayim did that here. When you say " this is a certainty and that's only a possibility" you leave yourself prone to being mopped up.
Its funny too because this was the exact same justification given by a certain menuval socalled rabbi to his followers immediately after the deal. (Told to me by a friend). I wonder if some centralized directive went out like "here is how to diffuse the complaints and outrage and how to use Torah to justify the deal..." sorry but I have become very cynical.
As for cheering and the like, I don't cheer for any teams I only cheer for the truth which should always win out. Arguments from authority are pretty worthless in my eyes. And speaking of truth, rav shternbuch was also against this deal and I think his teshuvah published in the yated also KO's Rav Yosef.
