Zionism=political ideology
Judaism= Abrahamic religion
and while, for almost 120 years the Zionists have attempted to conflate itself with judaism.they are actually incompatible. This is not my opinion, but opinions from prominent rabbis across the globe, including Israel.they are extremely vocal and have been for a very,very long time.
now the REAL interesting dynamic are the Christian Zionists, who pre-date Jewish Zionism by centuries.they have aligned themselves with the Jewish Zionists for decades.
but here is the interesting part.
Christian Zionists seek to create the conditions that will facilitate the second coming of Christ as foretold in the book of revelations. You know, the end times.
which would mean the destruction of the jews!
--except for the 144,000 jews that converted to Christianity.
think of how absolutely BONKERS this is!
if you are not familiar with a Christian Zionist, just look up pastor john Hagee and then check in to just how much power and influence he has.it is as impressive as it is horrifying.
as for pragers conclusion?
i disagree.
i think Israel has a right to exist.
i also agree with the rabbinic that Zionism is a danger to Judaism.
if you want to understand the politics of Israel better, check out Haaretz, and Jerusalem times.
