n0mesorah: So help me out and quote specifically which peer said exactly what in backlash to Rav Elchonon Wasserman hy’d’s statements regarding Rabbi Kook.
It is worth noting that Rav Elchonon was the eternally loyal Talmid Muvik of the Chofetz Chaim (the paragon of Shemiras Halashon himself), who spent his life disseminating his Rebbi’s Torahs. When the Chofetz Chaim was considering moving to Eretz Yisroel, Rav Chaim Ozer asked him who will take care of Klal Yisroel in Chutz Laaretz if he leaves. The Chofetz Chaim answered, “What do you mean? You have Reb Elchonon!”
