ZD- if you read all my posts, I very clearly allowed for the possibility of someone being Chareidi and zionistic. I distinguished between someone who self-indentifies as Chareidi even though he’s zionistic as opposed to someone who feels that his zionism is such an important part of him that he labels himself as Dati-Leumi. I also mentioned that there is such as thing as being Chardel (Chareidi Leumi) which could possibly be considered Chareidi (although it could also be considered not-Chareidi).
I also brought up the differences in Daas Torah.
I don’t consider l’vush to be part of the definition of Chareidi. A person can be Chareidi and dress modern. A person can also dress “Yeshivish” and be dati leumi.
Likewise, I don’t consider attitudes towards secular studies to be part of the definition of Chareidi.
