Thanks.
When Zionism was first posited as an idea, and as Zionists got to work, the great majority of Jews, who were, unlike the Zionists, cognizant of their own religion, were anti-Zionists.
I, as a Jew, am content to wait until God decides, in His place and His way, to restore the nation of Israel. Any violence and oppression of others by Jews can only delay that day.
Zionist read the Scriptures backwards. They start with the diaspora, and end up in the Garden of Eden! Sorry fellas, the story goes the other way!
At last count, God has decided that a Jewish Nation is not a good idea. Perhaps He thinks Jews need lessons in getting along with others, I certainly don't know.
But I would very much like to hear how Zionism fits into any conception of religious Judaism. In fact, Jews are pledged, by the three Oaths, not to engage in Zionism.
Winsmith, if our God endorses the Zionist project, and wishes Jews to kill and dispossess others in their quest for a state, why shouldn't the rest of mankind hate us and see us as enemies. Hell, we could decide next that Zionism demands a state in the US just for Jews!
Israel, a state for Jews, based on English and French colonialism, it's location delineated by 19th century British Public-school Biblical geography!
Yeah, count me in! (not)
