“The Zionists caused the loss of Jewish access to the Kosel and Yerushalayin from 1948.”
The anti-Zionist lies get bigger and bigger. Zionists in the Old City were fighting the Arab rashaim who would have killed every Jew, Zionist or not, had they had the chance. (And they did just that at Kfar Etzion.) Jerusalem was under siege but rather than consolidating forces in more defensible areas the Zionists desparately tried to save the Jewish presence in the Old City and did not surrender until there were just a few dozen healthy fighters left. The Zionists included the entire spectrum from Shulamit Aloni who would eventually become the vitriolic anti-religious cabinet minister in the 1990s, to then-rabbinical student Shear Yashuv Cohen who would serve as Chief Rabbi of Haifa for decades.
It is unlikely that Charedi participation in the resistance would have changed the outcome as the Zionists had so little equipment and ammunition. But a little hakarat hatov would be in order.
