 [[Frimet Goldberger]], writing in ''[[The Forward]]'' as someone raised in Satmar, argued that Chabad was not part of the radicalisation she saw in Satmar and other Hasidic groups. In her view, presenting Lubavitchers as the typical face of Hasidism, in America and worldwide, seriously misrepresents Hasidism. She wrote that many other Hasidic groups shun Chabad as a separate, modernised body, comparable to [[Modern Orthodox Judaism|Modern Orthodoxy]], whose religious stringencies are far more lenient than their own. She also said Chabad's skill with the media and its ease with secular society reflect a worldliness that most Hasidim, being insular, lack.<ref name="ForwardBlur" />

 Heilman writes that the B'nai Yoel dispute after 1979 produced a stream of lawsuits in New York state courts, because neither side would accept the other's rabbinical judges.<ref name="HeilmanSatmar192" /><ref name="HeilmanSatmar193" /> The dispute between Aaron and Zalman also went to the New York courts. It covered the Kiryas Joel cemetery where Joel Teitelbaum is buried, as well as study halls, schools, ritual baths, camps and matzah bakeries, assets Heilman values at about $500 million. Both factions held separate elections for the board of Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar in Williamsburg.<ref name="HeilmanSatmar201" /> Heilman says the judges treated the core issue as ecclesiastical and left it to the congregation to decide.<ref name="HeilmanSatmar202" /> In Moshe Teitelbaum's last years one faction asked a court to declare him incapacitated and to appoint co-guardians.

 [[Joel Teitelbaum]] set out his opposition to Zionism in ''Va-Yo'el Mosheh'' (1959–1961), which relies on the rabbinic "three oaths", and in ''ʻAl ha-ge'ulah ve-ʻal ha-temurah'' (1967), written after the [[Six-Day War]]. He also forbade the use of spoken modern Hebrew.<ref name="YIVOSatmar" /> [[Shaul Magid]] writes that Teitelbaum almost never discusses Zionist thinkers by name, and that he regarded [[Agudat Yisrael]]'s pragmatic acceptance of Zionism as like the righteous who were misled into serving the golden calf.

In ''Va-Yoel Moshe'' (published 1958–1961) he argued that the Shoah was divine punishment of the Zionists for violating the "three oaths".
