There’s a world of difference between rabbonim who were happy to have a place to go after the Holocaust, and those who were nationalistic, who believed in a state as an ideal, in contrast to the mesorah of how jews ought to behave in galus. Rabbi kook in oros wrote that the souls of the ochlei nevelos and mechalelei shabbos and kofrim bashem were “yoser mesukanos”, on a higher level than frum jews.

This is the pri chatas of not believing that only Torah matters, only Torah makes us Jews, only mitzvos connect one to G-d. All the kabalah in the world cannot go against that basic fact.

Religious Zionists as a result routinely give weight to other things besides torah. They believe it valuable to serve in thea army, that any and all soldiers are martyers and holy, despite living with women in the same barracks.

They turn to tanach instead of chazal to justify their positions, believing themselves to be heirs to the davidic dynasty. A false moshiach if there ever was one.
