I see what comes out of these discussions: we need to separate between views of 50-100 years and current matzav.
There were widely diverging views 100 years ago and whatever views they were, we are not able to make judgment on them, when what is history for us, was an unknown and uncertain future for them. And their views and actions fashioned the today’s situation, whether for better or worse. Same, as some say, that Vilna Gaon put herem on chasidim – are chasidim today avdei avoda zara? some say, that is because Gaon brought them to senses. Not trying to divert the thread, just bringing an analogy.
So, when we discussing today’s world, we need to recalibrate to what exists today. Anti-religious Zionism, judging by votes and polls are a minority in EY. Another large group is “traditional” and large religious group that did not exist (in numbers like now) 100 years ago.
