rob: Many of the gedolim opposed to the medina live and lived in Eretz Yisroel. That does not substract one iota their strident opposition to zionism and the medina. Many, in fact, lived there before the medina existed. Others after.
And they all in fact DID rail againt the medina after it existed. Read the writings and speeches of Rav Hutner. They are readily available in the old issues of the Jewish Observer and other places. He was quite strident in his denunciations of the medina. So were the others (Rav Weissmandel, Chazon Ish, Rav Kotler, etc.)
