A lot of the charedi establishment in Israel sees mutual resentment as a beneficial contribution to maintaining a barrier and preventing negative influence.

It is a polar opposite of Chabad, and while extreme the difference in positions was already illustrated by  Yehousha who mingled with the Mergalim to help them as opposed to Caleb who isolated himself to preserve his own righteousness.
mingling vs isolating can be debated. purposely breeding resentment and being משניא torah and mitzvos to fellow jews, is something else entirely

I'm sure you realize that a barrier works both ways. So it's beneficial to maintain a barrier and create a resentment to Yiddishkeit amongst huge parts of the Jewish population?

Yes, indeed. The Rebbe does see things very differently.

BTW, this is also reflected in the Rebbe's approach to taking money from the Zionists for torah education. While it might be easier to say we won't take money so they don't have a say, by not taking their money we would be depriving them of the זכות of לימוד התורה דרבים!!!

Yup.

I didn’t go so far as saying anybody advocates provoking resentment, only that the resultant barrier is beneficial.

One of the rumored potential defectors

https://twitter.com/yairnetanyahu/status/1405185350771879937

The context is a brewing crises where the coalition doesn’t have enough votes to pass the annual extension of a law that blocks naturalization of some Palestinians - as has been done for the past 17 years, and it’s unclear if the right wing opposition members will come to the rescue.

It’s unclear if the opposition will lend a few votes (Smotrich has a long reasoned thread about his debate), but if they don’t, they will shift the blame onto the coalition but saying they agree to vote yes but demand votes from the coalition on other Right wing interests

Ask anyone. There is only one "The Rebbe".

There might be a lot of אדמו"רים, רבנים, etc. But everyone knows who "The Rebbe" without any adjectives or qualifiers refers to.

Do you have any reason to believe that the Rebbe's perspective on this issue changed after the histalkus?

I think what he has reason to believe is that the Rebbe's ability to perceive (in any regard) changed after the histalkus?

Yehousha who mingled with the Mergalim to help them as opposed to Caleb who isolated himself to preserve his own righteousness.

Their differences in approach can be interpreted in multiple ways, but the takeaway is always that both approaches are valid/have their place.

In my circles, “The Rov” refers to the Brisker rov. In other circles, “The Rav” refers to Rabbi JB Soloveitchik.

I guess it's because you hold like me that everyone is a Lubavitcher (to the extent that it is at all possible to be one).

In Belz, "The Ruv" refers to the Belzer Rebbe. In my house "the Rav" referred to the Badie Hashulchan
I'm sorry for all those Lubavitchers who think that every reference in the world to "The Rebbe" means their rebbe, it's just not true and only means that you haven't ever gone very far out of your circles.
It's probably time to move the last few posts to the "Ask a Lubavitcher Anything" thread
