Also, the fact that i can be targeted despite having no affiliation with the state or Zionism is precisely the problem – they have succeeded in making the massive chilul hashem that suggests that a bunch of ochlei nevala and mechalelei shabbos are our representatives.
“They were complicated” – no, they were rotzchim poshim and apikorsim. They railed against Torah jewry while fooling the naive religious zionists into thinking that they were allies at times.
There is no room in klal yisroel for mechalelei shabbos. They have the halacha of a non jew, whether or not they are tonokos shenishbu. Most of the early leaders definitely were not tinokos shenishbu. Halacha defined who has the status of a Jew, and one who is not oseh maaseh amcha is NOT part of us. Judaism is a religion, not a race or nation, as rav saadia gaon writes, the Jewish nation is only such because of its Torah! Our leaders must be at the very least part of the nation and without Torah they are not.
