And a chaveir of mine who learned by the Rov for many years said
"zionism? What Zionism? The Rov never talked about it in shiur!"

FWIW this fellow is a member of Breuer's

As Dr. Lamm noted, after the Rov's p'tira the right will claim him and
so too the left

Now the Zionists claim him and so too the anti-zionists.
