In reply to avi. I recommend you read the letter from the Rebbe Rashab printed in the introduction to Kuntres Umayan, page 46-53.

i think the article gives a mistaken impression that you are compering holding the Israeli flag to holding a dog. this is unfortunate and should be clarified. while it’s true that some in Chabad have ambivalent feelings about the flag, we also understand the high emotions attached to it, the mesiros nefesh that many jews associate with it, especially in a time of intense war. we as Chabad Chassidim are and should continue to be sensitive to do that,

The Rebbe told them to set up their table at a distance away from the parade to ensure they don’t appear as affiliates/participants. Even though being closer presumably would mean more opportunities for Tefilin. So who says it was the right thing to hold the flag?

Rabbi Avrohom Hersh Cohen agreed not to participate in the Israeli elections – despite the Rebbe’s position how important this is, since it was set as precondition for his giving a Tanya shiur in the Meah Sheorim shule, affiliated with Neturei Karta. They even advertised that this shiur is only for those who don’t participate in the Israeli elections. He later received the Rebbe’s approval for this move.
