Also, there are far more children of RZ families who become more charedi than vice versa as it once was. Even some nominal RZ have charedi hashkafas especially after the double shock of Yigal Amir (framed or not) and Gush Katif which led to a general decline in the self-image of religious Zionists and questioning of their ideology.

Today’s real religious Zionists, the hilltop youth, Bat Ayin etc, are new age neo- Charedim who follow a strange mixture of Chabad, Breslov, Carlebach (music or ideology – I am not sure) and the writings not so much of Rav A”Y Kook but of his more radical son. Their rov is the decidedly charedi Chabad mekubal R’ Yitzchak Ginzburgh and I believe they also respect R’ Eliezer Berland of Shuvu Bonim who is politically somewhere to the right of R’ Meir Kahane HY”D. Strange people and way outside the mainstream but at least they have real values which they put themselves on the line for and are not corrupted by the medine that has so disappointed their sincerely old line RZ parents.
