How is the belief in Jewish self-determination not political?NB: the poll asks for your opinion as an atheist which is the most rational political philosophy? It is true that many Jews (including Israelis) are atheists. Nevertheless, Zionism is surely a religious movement. Ultimately it appeals to the notion that the Jewish god Yahweh deeded a very precisely specified piece of real estate to his people ca. 1800 BCE, and if in the last 2000 years other people have planted olive trees there, it's too damn bad for them because the land belongs to the Jews, olive trees and all.
