Or Shalom in Washington Heights
OT1H Rav Yosef Breuer was an outspoken opponent of Zionism and also of YU
OTOH My predecessor R Ralph Neuhaus invited speakers from YU all the time, EG Dr. Israel Miller, Dr. Louis Feldman, etc. His shul proudly flew the Israeli flag opposite Old Glory.
Nevertheless, the Neuhaus family and the Breuer family had a cordial relationship. Rebetzin Neuhaus's father taught at the Breuer Yeshivah.
Is there something we can learn from this?
Kol Tuv,

Winston Churchill said this in year 1921 CE:
“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities,
but the influence of the religion [Islam] paralyses
the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde* force exists in the world.”
* VOCABULARY NOTE:
The word RETROGRADE refers to an object
which moves in the backward direction
or degenerates to a worse condition.

Winston Churchill said this in a parliamentary debate 1921 June 14:
The Wahabis*, Churchill noted, “profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others. They hold it as an article of duty, as well as of faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahabi villages for simply appearing in the streets. It is a penal offense to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette…”
* HISTORY NOTE:
In July 2004, the 9/11 Commission identified
Wahabism as a cause of Islamic Terrorism.

In the year 1922 CE Winston Churchill said this:
“Left to themselves, the Arabs of Palestine would not in a thousand years have taken effective steps towards the irrigation and electrification of Palestine.
They would have been quite content to dwell, a handful of philosophic people, in the wasted sun-scorched plains, letting the waters of the Jordan continue to flow unbridled and unharnessed into the Dead Sea.”

Winston Churchill said this in year 1922 CE:
“The Arabs would have sat in the dark forever
had not the Zionist engineers harnessed the
Jordan River for electrification. Now they
swarm into Palestine in seeking the light.”

This comment from Winston Churchill
appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle
dated 1929 September 12, one day after he said it:
“The Jews have developed the country, grown orchards and grain fields out of the desert, built schools and great buildings, constructed irrigation projects and water power houses and have made Palestine a much better place in which to live than it was before they came a few years ago. The Arabs are much better off now than before the Jews came, and it will be a short time only before they realize it.”

The 1929 September 13 edition of the New York Times
printed an article which quoted Winston Churchill saying:
“To Jewish enterprise, the Arab owes nearly everything he has.
Fanaticism and a sort of envy have driven the Arab
to violence and for the present the problem is one
of proper policing until harmony has been restored.”

As for the Arabs of Palestine, [Winston] Churchill
wrote [in year 1929 CE], they had been brought,
as a result of the Jewish presence there:
“Nothing but good gifts, more wealth, more trade,
more civilization, new SOURCEs of revenue,
more employment, a higher rate of wages,
larger cultivated areas, a better water supply;
in a word, the fruits of reason and modern science.”
