We stand alone. Heretics abound. Many are caught in the apparent contradiction between truth and redemption.
Many believe that the world is ancient, and therefore, they do not believe in "Jewish" redemption. Among the heretics of redemption are the Conservative Jew, the Reform Jew, and the Israeli Chiloni, and the non-Jew.
Rav Ovadia Yosef, and anyone similar, is a heretic of the truth, the truth being that the world is old, and that mankind is old. In fact, truth, general truth, has long disappeared from religious Psika, a deep reason for the failure of the "Land for Peace" psak. One sees no Cheshbon Nefesh after this failure, because really, in their heart, also the followers do not believe in the truth anymore. This includes many of the Talmidim of Rav Kook, who also do not believe that the world is ancient. It is strange but true. They believe in Judaism, and therefore they do not believe in the truth.
We stand alone.
