Views

An anti-Zionist, Lando has characterized Zionism as "a movement whose purpose is to establish the Jewish people on an explicitly secular foundation, rooted in heresy and rebellion against divine sovereignty." He has written that involvement in Zionist institutions such as the World Zionist Organization leads to the "desecration of God's name."{{cite web|url=https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-842602 |title=Senior ultra-Orthodox rabbi instructs his constituents to withdraw from Zionist institutions |publisher=The Jerusalem Post |accessdate=2025-02-23}}
