That viewpoint does not reflect the mainstream opinion of Orthodoxy. Most Orthodox Jews support the existence of the state of Israel as a homeland, even though it is not the theological state of Israel that will be brought about by the messiah.

Jewish settlers were buying land from the Turks prior to 1900 and much of the land bought from Arabs was nothing but swamps and marshes sold at highly inflated prices.

God is a Sovereign entity that has designed the course of the heavens right down to the smallest molecule and it's course and position of the atom in all living matter. Therefore the Jew's right to live in their homeland has been allowed by God. Otherwise they would not be there.

They have taken these marshes and deserts and today they truly reflect God's promise to them as possessing a land of "milk and honey" by their own efforts and intelligence.

To deny these people something that they deservedly own and have created out of arid and uninhabitable lands is indeed a miracle from God to them. Also the Arab nations in vastly superior numbers have never claimed any victory from them in spite of the fact they were outnumbered. Another miracle from God, imo. Anyone who actually thinks that they should be once again displaced is suspect of anti semitism in my thinking.

Lev 20:
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
