1. “Rock of Israel” was a compromise. Ben Gurion et al rejected the idea that the zionist claim was based on Torah (remember they were planning a very secular, socialist state – and a large faction wanted to ally with the Soviet Union), and this was the closest to referring to Torah they would allow.
2. During the 1948 (post agreement on yeshiva exemptions) to 2013 (yeshiva conscription) many rabbanim were quite willing to work with the state. They accepted the money and were content with the yeshiva exemptions (even if it came with a big price – most hareidim were legally banned from accepting jobs outside the hareidi community). That period is over, and it is clear that if conscription of yeshiva students is introduced, many rabbanim who were happy to “collaborate” with the zionists, will reconsider the 1948 to support the medinah (an alternative at the time was to have Palestine become an American colony) and perhaps go back to the positions that led to Dr. De Haan being murdered (and the groups that are now the Edis Hareidis being intimidatged into staying out of politics), names support for a single-state solution including both banks of the Jordan with an autonomous hareidi community under a majority-Islamic government (note that even the worst of the terrorists have rarely targeted hareidim and have never attacked an anti-zionist yeshiva – since 1929 which is well before the medinah and involved some dubious behavior by the British and perhaps the zionists both of whom clearly knew about the attack before hand).
