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.(December 15, 2013 at 11:10 am)TaraJo Wrote: Because Zionism isn't a political philosophy.Yes it is. How is the belief in Jewish self-determination not political?
