You think zionism is a religious doctrine, it isn't and never was. The for founders of it were secular. And Religious Jews in Israel are overwhelmingly anti zionist.

Would you claim that they are representative of the majority of Jews?
No, because I don't know either way. I just thought the example was pertinent and worth spreading again.
It's been 50 years since I was last in Israel and I was in kindergarten back then.
Sounds more like your parents took you there because Kibbutzim at the time were the ideal of socialistic communal living; I suspect things have changed a lot since.
My parents took me there because of Jesus. They were very devout Christians first and foremost.
I guess not all my assumptions are correct, I stand corrected.
I realize that there are always people who speak out against the crimes and are always ostracized, that is why the majority of the people just go along because they fear losing their connection to the community. Also in the case of Jews the trauma of the Holocaust has been perpetuated for
Generations; and the cry of never again is the main motivator for for the horrific genocide that is now unfolding in Gaza.
Reminder that the No1 Hamas supporter in the world is Netanyahu. He and his jubta bear massive responsibility for Oct 7. www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-ne...
So this Gaza genocide has NOTHING to do with the Holocaust and it does the OPPOSITE of making Jews safer. It puts Jewish people AT RISK. And some have said Israel is the only country these days where Jewish people are systemically, inherently at risk.
I would agree with you that Jews around the world are less safe now and for years to come; furthermore, I would also argue that it has further degraded the standing of Israel in the international community and by association US as well. Also has negatively impacted the reputation of Jews worldwide.
I have to agree with you; it was a strategy to try to control Gaza and impede the formation of a Palestinian state; and not because he liked Hamas in particular.
and despite all that talk of how Israel is alone against a sea of Arabic enemies, them and Saudi Arabia and Egypt are thick as thieves in the name of all keeping their access to American money flowing nice and easy. odd, for peoples Zionists insist Jews are in eternal war against
Think of it more as a marriage of convenience than true love.
faith is not -totally- without power, particularly at the individual level, but at the national level assuming faith guides people more than self-interest is going to get you hideously and consistently mislead
I don’t know what you are trying to say here.
anyone who tries to pretend Zionism is about Judaism is lying to your face in the expectation that you will write it off as "just some religion bullshit" rather than interrogate what its actual subject is similarly to the poor sad weirdos who insisted invading Iraq was about Islam vs. Christianity
Would they have invaded Iraq if it was Christian? Especially after 19 Muslim extremists crashed 4 planes into US? How about Jews committing genocide in Gaza? After all, they didn’t bomb Germany after the Holocaust, sure they hunted a few Nazis, but let’s face it they chose to spear the rest, no?

they went after the people with land and resources they wanted, rather than the people actually responsible for the terrible acts done to them, in both cases. like I said. if you're trying to justify it with religion, you're actively misleading yourself.
Again, I doubt your rewrite of American history will ever get you published; but here is a tittle for you: An idiot's history of the United States, just in case...
in response to several Saudi nationals crashing a plane into buildings in New York, on behalf of a Saudi living in Pakistan, we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, friend. do you really think that was because of religion.
Religion played a part in our response and the islamophobia that arose in our society; however, it undoubtedly played a major part in them attacking US, no? After all, they called the US the Great Satan, it was a holy war for them.
...why do you think a bunch of people who we armed, to fight for us, against an American enemy, and then hung out to dry after they won, chose to crash planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, friend. why no religious targets, just geopolitical ones.
