A Rift Within The Religious Zionist Camp? You Don't Say?

Excerpt from Arutz 7: Rabbinate Vote ‘Exposed Rift in Religious Zionism’
Member of voting board says religious Zionists chose hareidi-religious candidates. ‘Deep rift in religious-Zionist society.’

Maayana Miskin, July 28, 2013

The results of the elections should lead to serious thought, she (Sarah Eliash) warned. “The religious-Zionist community was divided from within. That raises questions about our ability to keep working together,” she said.

“Our inability to put forth a candidate who would be accepted by the entire community reveals a deep rift within us. I hope that the Bayit Yehudi, which is just starting out, will learn from what happened and will work together,” she continued.

“If not,” she warned, “we will continue to lose.”

Esser Agaroth (2¢): 
Lose against whom? Lose against what? The Torah?

I am not sure where Sarah Eliash, a former high school principal and current "central activist in YeSh"A," has been for the past several years,...or really, much more than that. But, there has been a "rift" within the Religious Zionist camp for quite sometime now.

Any "Religious Zionist" with half a brain should be able to see that Rabbi Dov Lior (Hevron-Qiriyath Arba) and Rabbi Shlomo Aviner (Petah Tiqwah) have diametrically opposed points of view regarding "Religious Zionism."

Left: "A Student and his Rabbi," Right: Aviner expulsion photo op.
Far Right: Mrs. Aviner's hand-she was also wearing an orange "rav" vest. Hmm...

Any Religious Zionist who wasn't so deeply in denial, and believed that the State would never go through with the expulsion of nearly 10,000 Jews from their homes in Azza (Gaza), and their lands over to hostile Yishma'elite enemies who want to see us annihilated, remembers very clearly Rabbi Avraham Shapira ztz"l ripping up Rabbi Shlomo Aviner's opinion piece on the pending expulsion,...in public.

Of course, I am also not sure how anyone could possibly compare the Chief Rabbinate of Israel to the Sanhedrin, especially when the process for choosing the Rabbinate is not even a Jewish process, and many of those involved in the selection process would be disqualified from providing most forms of testimony before a rabbinic court (ie. non-kosher witnesses).

There are the Real Religious Zionists and there are the Mamlakhtim (undying State loyalists).

There are those worship The Almighty, and hold His Torah above all other authorities, and there are those who worship the State belong to the State's dance troop.

There are those who have awoken to the true colors of the traitorous YeSh"A Council, which collaborated with the government to expel those Jews from Azza (Gaza), and there are those who believe that the YeSh"A Council members are saints.

There are those are easily able to see that there are increasing numbers of conflicts between the Torah and Israeli Law, and there are those who refuse to believe that such conflicts exist that we be patient, and love all "Jews," even though they battle against the Torah left and right,...right in front of our eyes.

In short, there are Religious Zionists...

Torah Source: Genesis 15:18-21

And there are "Religious Zionists..."

See any similarities between the two? Or are you still asleep?
Torah Source: None

And this, Sarah Eliash, is why we will never be able to find a candidate who fits every Religious Zionist's bill, because there isn't just one bill to fill, but two,...at least two.

Sarah Eliash, where have you been all of this time? Educating our daughters?

Oy!
