Matzav is reporting that the video of R Shmuel about Israeli elections is about Israeli elections
While the recording about WZO is still about WZO (as is clear from the recording)

I’m not partial to Peleg et al. but the way this is being pushed through the media outlets, particularly VIN smacks of manipulation, and I don’t like being manipulated. Speak to your Daas Torah or at least someone you respect and go with that. But when this becomes just another spin item and/ or a platform for bashing anybody (especially in the comments) stay far away.

To be 100% fair, it seems like Rav Shmuel had a hard time hearing him (he was speaking fast). It may be that he understood that he was asking about the Israeli elections.

In the Israeli elections you vote as a citizen of Israel, regardless of the policies and beliefs of the founders/government. With WZO it seems you have to affirm the mission statement of the WZO.

Rav Shmuel? He didn't say anything specifically in the audio clip that couldn't have been meant for the Israeli elections, if he actually misheard. I'm not saying that happened. I'm just saying that it's a remote possibility.

From the beginning of the recording I thought that as well, but it's clear seems clear from the end of the conversation that he was referring to WZO

I know. But the video mentions R Gershon, while the voice recording sounds like a personal psak

Hard to say there was anything personal, caller specifically mentioned R Shmuel does not know him, and he even asked if he should push his “talmidim” to vote as well.

Personal as in his own shita not coming from aforementioned gedolim besides himself

But doesn't the MK need to swear an oath that would affirm specifics that would have similar issues?

It seemed from the recording that he was pretty clear about the WZO

Nope - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_office#Israel

Quote
In the Knesset, the oath of office (or "declaration of allegiance") is as follows:

Oldest member of Knesset or chairperson: I pledge myself to bear allegiance to the State of Israel and faithfully to discharge my mandate in the Knesset.

Each other member of the Knesset, in turn: I pledge myself.

Someone ought to say it like it is. Vosizneias is a cesspool. They think that they, and the vile comments they give a platform to, can turn a disagreement among talmidei chachamin into a Rush Limbaugh political episode or a trashy tabloid piece. עפרא לפומייהו

The answer to that question differs depending on who's answering.

Maharats: They are all Orthodox at heart

Rabbi in Flatbush/Five Towns: Eretz Hakodesh and Mizrachi

Rabbi in Yerushalayim: Eretz Hakodesh

Rabbi in Brisk: NONE!
