ZD: you mean to say that Reb Elchonon Wasserman — had he actually seen the state in action after 1948 — might have changed his previously held opinion and supported the state of Israel’s anti-religious stance?
What I meant in my OP was that knowledgeable yirei Hashem rabbonim who subscribed to the idea of zionism at the beginning of the 20th century might have revised or rescinded what said or wrote in 1915 after seeing what, in fact, actually transpired after 1948. Besides, in some cases their words need careful examination exactly what they supported and advocated in the first place.
