Ask one, then. Meaning, ask a real posek who is not also the rabbi of a local Young Israel or similar YU-type shul. You are also assuming that Zionism and/or the opposition to it has lessened. Both of those are false, of course. If anything, the opposition has increased, as recent news stories are only beginning to indicate.
“Minhag Yisrael” also “paskined” against married women covering their hair for some decades (and is still the case among a number of the “Modern Orthodox” maskilim, as it happens). That’s not “Minhag Yisrael”, it’s called a pirtza and an anti-Torah laxity.
Yet you still stick to your assumptions for no known reason. As quoted before, “…just for example, Rav Elchonon states b&w in kovetz maamarim that “Dati leumi” is literal idolatry. The Brisker Rav published a KK signed by the Gerrer Rebbe and many others that “Dati Leumi” education is a “sea of heresy mixed in with a drop of Torah”.”
Why don’t you take that to a real non-Zionist posek and ask what is the practical “therefore” of all that, rather than just assuming that your perception of “minhag Yisrael” trumps explicit statements by gedolei olam?
Finally, you seem to have missed my most recent post:
“It is possible, according to some opinions, that one could believe in heresy yet not be considered an actual heretic. But the heresy in which they believe is still 100% heresy.
Regardless, that same Chazon Ish stated that “Dati Leumi” wine is yayin nesech.”
