akuperma – I’m not sure where you got this idea that Agudath Israel, Degel ha-Torah and Shas. HaRav Shach, z”l stated clearly years ago that they share the same views of the Medina as Eidah Hareidis and Satmar. The only difference between them is how to deal with them. We are no more their friends than you. The only difference is you hold to separate yourself entirely and we feel to work with them in order to protect ourselves. I can’t tell you who’s right. It is two different approaches and in the end we will know.
BTW – which camp do you associate yourself with? Please don’t tell me that you sit amongst the reckless Neturei Karta hoodlums!
