yechezkel89:
It is common knowledge that there is a strong dispute between Rabbi Soloveithchik and many of the Charedi gedolim of the time. So instead of opening up that can, I meant to imply that there were many who disagreed with his hashkafos to begin with.
Similarly zionisim even in its religious incarnation is an ideal that is generally not accepted in the charedi camps. Hence we have Rav Kook who although he was an incredible illuy, when his views on zionism became known many gedolim distanced themselves from him. This explains my statement on Rabbi Herzog.
I am not saying at all, that they were not huge talmidei chachamim. But what I am saying is that because their views diverged in a strong way from the gedolim that I follow, I too have to distance myself from their views.
