mogold: the first three gedolim that you mentioned died before or during the Holocaust(reb Elchonon) , so we cannot know what their views might have been- see Rav Teichtal zz’l who changed his mind, see the vishnitzer rebbe, the gerrer rebbe , even the belzer rebbe and more who lived and embraced the medinah (not the policies, just the fact of medinat yisroel). Only the Brisker rov zz’l lived during the medinah days and I have yet to heasr that he espoused the satmarer rebbe’s shittah that Medinas Yisroel should be dismantled. Please supply writings to that effect.
