Dear Neville,
I also lol. But still I think there is a point here. It doesn’t matter if they are lower on the scale. The question is here if it works. There is an area where MO seems to work. Individuals seek out better religious circumstances than they are given. We tend to justify it a bit first. My earlier question as to what goes on in yeshivshe and chassidishe circles when the peer pressure evaporates and nobody is looking, was ignored.
So you get to label who is Zionist and who is anti Zionist when that in itself is a metaphor for Authentic Jewishness? That is not admissible evidence. Just argue that (blank) group is too dismissive of Torah and Mitzvos to advocate it’s political or idealistic causes. You are not being any more specific in any case by calling them out as Zionists. (What does that even mean anymore?)
