DY, while I will endeavor to be more humble, unfortunately many people use the idea that one is challenging the gedolim as a simple “sha shtil” weapon in an argument, or as a way to deflect a new circumstance or a pressing issue that has not been addressed, or fully addressed.
“You should be more humble, recognize your stature relative to the gedolim, and not c”v insinuate that those who follow the path of the Chazon Ish are disingenuous or hypocritical.”
I am not insinuating, and I doubt that those who take without giving are following the derech of the chazon ish. I am saying that it is hypocritical to sit in the knesset while condemning it as an institution, it is hypocritical to take government subsidies on an institutional or personal level while not only criticizing the government and deriding those who elected it, but denying it the right to have established itself in the first place. It is hypocritical to use the infrastructure, water, energy, roads, social services, hospitals, without either supporting such things through taxes or through national service of some kind.
I have other issues with Neturei Karta, such as their palling around with holocaust deniers and modern day hamans, but at least they make a point of not taking anything from a government they don’t recognize (and even they aren’t perfect about it. They use roads, streetlights, and other infrastructure that they don’t support.)
Maybe you have a heter for hypocrisy. I don’t know. OK, that’s in your cheshbon, not mine.
