The only point I want to make here is that the general position HaKatan is espousing is not a minority view but rather the majority view of gedolei yisroel. I’m not speaking the oaths specifically but rather of the overall impermissibility of the state, its formation and its subsequent actions.
Yes, but the tone is not mainstream, nor the kfiyas tovah towards individuals who risk their lives to protect Yidden, nor the referring to MO/DL as kofrim/ovdei a”z. The hashkafah is wrong, and is on the spectrum, but not to the extent that those who believe in it are classified that way. We do drink their wine and trust their eidus.
