PAA: You brought Rabbi Kook and Rabbi Soloveitchik into the conversation so I (indirectly) addressed that. (My comment addressing the latter and some other issues were deemed verboten by the powers that be with the reason given me that it was “too strong”. Consider some questions asked me addressed but not published.)
I very much sourced my citations of the Chofetz Chaim. Particularly:
1. Mishkenos Harayim 3:1-108
2. Rav Berel Soloveitchik’s frequent and public comments verifiable by many of his talmidim
3. Rav Yeruchem Gorelick’s frequent and public comments verifiable by many of his talmidim

(I’ll provide a link in a subsequent comment sourcing much of the above but it’s up to the mods whether to approve it.)
Regarding the kol korei, I’m not going to do your research to determine who signed what. I’ve demonstrated the alleged signatories that you cited what was a forgery by someone who you subsequently admitted made intentional concealment of facts to purposefully provide a false representation. As far as who issued a press release that they never signed, it isn’t the responsibility or possibility of a rov to keep abreast of every false representation made of him or issue denials every time, especially considering in this case the KK was only published in the Mizrachi Hatzofeh. I recall a few years ago that either Rav Chaim or Rav Elyashev said not to believe everything published in his name.
None of the rabbonim who supported a State where anywhere near the stature of the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Elchonon, the Chazon Ish, Rav Chaim Ozer, the Brisker Rav or Rav Ahron Kotler. Nor were any of the zionist rabbis who signed the KK or referred to a ?????? ?????? anywhere near that stature; and stature matters. In any event, the overwhelming majority and mainstream of opinions by the gedolim was that even if everyone agrees that the Jews should take the land and the whole world gives it to them on a silver patter, it is still prohibited.
