Another thought based on reading Chofetz Chaim letters that do not seem to contain condemnation of Palestinian Zionists and mention of shevuos. Any Rabbi who was writing publicly in the time of early Zionists and does not mention shevous should be presumed to not hold by them. It might be murkier later on, when state politics might make someone more or less vocal on the issue, but European Rabbonim, like Ch Ch had all opportunities to express their opinions. We know, for example, where R Elhonon Wasserman was holding. Did he quote his teacher, Ch Ch?
