  1. 2 of the pashkevils reproduced in this article, do not actually name any specific person, nor do they mention what grave sin has been committed.

    other points - the JO was unhappy with the means by which R Goren was elected, but the JTA in a search shows that in early 1972, the NRP suggested R goren should be Chief Rabbi, and he initially refrained from standing.

    They also point out their displeasure of R Goren blowing the shofar on Temple mount, because it is a forbidden area. Here is an actual admission of the jealousy and anger of the Hareidim towards:

    Towards Israel and the IDF for liberating Jerusalem.
    Towards R Goren for being part of that apparatus, and moreover for him saying that this was part of the Geulah.
    Here is the problem - if they take the Satmar position, which they largely did, it is a denial of G-d's hashgacha. It leaves them with little wiggle room to have a coherent view of Hashem's appearance in world history. So this whole attack on Rav Goren is just shooting the messenger - Rav Goren was the one who spoke the message that the Hareidim are unwilling to accept - that there is a God in Israel!

  2. It was / is very difficult to get any hakaras hatov from the Hareidi world - they have been controlled by Satmar theology.
