Also, all you have pointed is is that Zionism is not Judaism. We already all know that. Zionism is a secular movement, not a religious movement. We Zionists couldn't care less about what Judaism has to say. You also say Zionism isn't Jewish, I think you mean to say that Zionism isn't Judaic.
Quote:It is not only a matter, I believe, of religious observance and practice. To me, being Jewish means and has always meant being proud to be part of a people that has maintained its distinct identity for more than 2,000 years, with all the pain and torment that has been inflicted upon it.-Golda Meir
What is ur evidence that Palestine was empty ? And is that legal taking over someone else's land even if it was empty?
And if they don't care about jews' opinion about creating a land why do they give themselves the right to start a movement that aims to create Israel to gather the jews in it? I mean they dont even care about their opinion ..then why to care about protecting them from antisemitism?
If it was a secular movement that doesnt really care about religion or faith.. then why Jerusalem ? Why they chose the holy land to be theirs? They r not loyal to any religion , then why caring about antisemitism, jews and the temple of Solomon?
U know what .. I'm really interested to hear more explanation .. its the first time I know that they r actually people who justify the existence of zionism I thought even jews dont agree with that! Plz continue .
