Muman, I know you are very sensitive to how poseks are discussed, but I didn't say anything to insult Rabbi Yosef. I don't care for many of his decisions, but did not attack him. I do hope that he turns from his non-Zionist Charedism and embraces true Torahic Zionism.
We'll just have to agree to differ on this. Chaim knows much more about Rabbi Ovadia Yosef than I or most others here, and so he would be the best person to ask questions about him to. I am almost positive that ROY once declared that Arabs are the brothers of Jews. I do consider that very unfortunate, and think it is sad that there are devout religious Jews in Israel who believe that.
As Tzvi said, this discussion is over. I know some people don't care for me or others criticizing rabbis, but the truth is that I am much, much harsher on Christian leaders. I do not single anybody out.
Thank you for your compliment at the end of your response.
