Lilmod: “Zionism is a hashkafa, not a sociological detail.”
GAW: “I would argue that Aderaba, Zionism is the biggest “detail” to split Torah society (at least in Israel) since the Chassidic/Misnaged divide, and maybe even the Pharisee chumrah of Chulin B’Taharah.”
That doesn’t make it a sociological detail as opposed to a hashkafa. Adraba, that is why it is so divisive – precisely because it IS a hashkafa.
