Rav Shimon Schwab, ZT"L, took essentially this approach. Indeed, for 
many years he would not attend Agudah Conventions, because the Agudah 
had originally been part of the Israeli government at the time of the 
founding of the State.

However, after a number of years he was prevailed upon to attend. 
Some Baalei Batim said to him, "True, you do not agree with their 
philosophy regarding Zionism. However, is it appropriate to deprive 
them of your Torah." I cannot vouch for the preciseness of this 
recollection, since I no longer recall whom I heard it from.
