HaLeiVi, I disagree. Nationalism/Zionism is just as illegitimate (ie an invalid position) as Tikun Olam promoted by the Reform or the ethical hashgacha promoted by the Conservative. Even though both positions have “Orthodox” rabbi supporters, and in principle isn’t a violation of halacha. Much like the early Reformade innovations that weren’t a direct violation of Halacha but we’re nevertheless denounced by the Rabbonim.
