I think, if i may, that if we would separate each topic for itself, with honesty, then we would have a lot less disagreements & more Sholom Al Yisroel .
Take for instance those solders that lost their lives for Eretz Yisroel & Am Yisroel , whether or not their intentions were for “Hashem & his Torah” They still lost their lives for Eretz Yisroel & Am Yisroel, they ARE Kidoishim, we’ve heard stories of those that came back in the dreams of others & let them know that they are considered in Oilom Habah as Kidoshim only they couldn’t enjoy their reward since they didn’t have any Zchus of Torah…
On the other hand if you’d like to discuss the intentions of the “Midinah” that doesn’t need much of explanation, it’s defiantly not in any direction of “Hashem & his Torah” . However we can discuss the fact that in-spite to their intentions, Eretz Yisroel did become the home land for Torah & Avodas Hashem.
Now we have another point to discuss, the people of Israel. It’s true that a Jew even a Choloni is still a Jew & will be warm to another Jew including the Charedim too, unless they’re deeply imbittered of the Charadim etc .
