And secondly, would you use the same reasoning to allow eating from a neveiloh?
No comparison, for obvious reasons based on the rules of logic.
You can’t compare issur with heter. If it were g’neivah, it would be assur. But it’s not. It’s a hashkafa issue, and an old machlokes between gedolim, going back decades. The Chazon Ish, the Neturai Karta (real one), Eidah Chareidis, Brisker Rov, Satmar Rov, etc. all weighed in on this, and due to my limited intellect, I will not take sides, other than for whatever is practical in my own life, for which I will follow the mehalech of my rebbeim. The gedolim used their massive, Torah honed intellect to decide these matters, and didn’t take these matters lightly; they “learned it up” with yiras shomayim andyegiah rabbah, as they would the most difficult sugyas in Sha”s.
You should be more humble, recognize your stature relative to the gedolim, and not c”v insinuate that those who follow the path of the Chazon Ish are disingenuous or hypocritical.
This is my last post, at least for a while, so everyone have a wonderful summer, and may we all meet soon in Yerushalayim Hab’nuyah bv”a.
