My initial reaction when I started reading this was ” this all sounds like things Reb Yaakov might’ve said, but I wish you would quote your sources” and then I scrolled further, and BAM sources!
Reb Yaakov was very middle of the road, very realpolitik.
He called out their kefirah when it was showing, he supported the good things they accomplished when they did, and most importantly he hoped for improvement as opposed to hoping to win a Pyrrhic victory at a time when we were just starting to recover from the holocaust.
