Spot on.

[@ronginther1986]

Wonderful explanation! Clarified the two movements, the whole gamut really, of secular Zionism, the Haredim, as they arose in reaction to certain challenges in the Gentile nations. Between these two, the poor, neglected, wandering, befuddled sheep, and no Messiah?

[@brandonmarlon882]

Religious founders of political Zionism included Judah Aryeh Leon Bibas, Tzvi Hirsch Kalischer, Eliyahu Guttmacher (Tzadik of Grätz/Der Greiditzer), Judah ben Solomon Hai Alkalai, Hayyim Lurie, Mordecai Gimpel Jaffe, Samuel ben Judah Leib Mohilever, Isaac Rülf, Isaac Jacob ben Solomon Naphtali Reines, and Moses Gaster.

Be that as it may... the “ patch” of Zionism did facilitate the return to Israel for many Jews?

[@ragingblazer2941]

I support the resettlement of Jews in Israel (Zionism) but in the sense of following Torah to the best of knowledge like in Joshua’s time.

[@NodnarbRS]

What about the majority of Israelites who are not Jews?

I once called myself a Religious Zionist but in the last 20 some years I changed to call myself a Dati Leumi.

[@user-mm3yk3uq4g]

And whats the difference? The latter one is just the hebrew form of the phrase

[@Rajul_Jamil]

@@user-mm3yk3uq4g That was 3 years ago, I think much different today but Tzioni is the idea to return to the homeland (Das Mutterland) and leumi means nationalist.

Honestly the way this is playing in the world is a lot like the mau mau vs the brits in Kenya. 'Hamas is evil but israel is even worse because colonialism '

[@Rajul_Jamil]

What COUNTRY did Israel colonize?? If you want to say Palestine, tell me when it was an independent country and if it was who was the King or PM?? Jordan was given to the Hashemites so is ir under occupation or maybe colonized by the Hashemite tribe?? Jordan controlled the West Bank and never gave it to the Palestinians and the area that they got was lost in the 1948 war. @@sanwan7138

what's inauthentic about escaping pogroms Rabbi?

[@Jayla-dj2gj]

Did the middle eastern/North African Jews ever have people in masses go to reform Judaism. I imagine only the Jewish European converts would do that. They would want to be more like the others who look like them in Europe.

[@tee-3152]

Why dont tge Jewish people ask their god HaShem which way to move as a Nation or does he exist ....he spoke to the Prophets of Old????? Does he speak anymore???

[@sandergoldberg4508]

His explanation of Zionism is about 80% accurate. But he omitted the fact that the original Zionist "fathers" intended to transform Judaism from Torah to their interpretation of cultural Zionism. Thus Zionism is more pernicious that he depicts it. However, his explanation of "Haredi Judaism" is total, unadulterated HOGWASH. Even the term Haredi was coined by antagonistic Zionist and secular Jews. "Haredi Judaism" is not a movement or a specific outlook. Haredi only refers to Jews who are committed to serving G-d, as opposed to traditional Jews who serve both G-d and "the Baal".

[@NodnarbRS]

We will continue to have mass religious confusion until Hashem Himself sets things straight, like He has promised to do in the “near” future. The beliefs of the Zionist fathers, or of the people who returned to Israel so far, are more or less irrelevant. No nation rises or falls, or ceases to exist or comes into existence without divine decree. Wasn’t that part of the lesson Nebuchadnezzar had to learn? “ ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’ “ The only thing we can control is our own personal dedication to serving our Creator, and our striving to do what is pleasing in His sight. The religious Babylon of the whole world will continue until the unseen Ruler of all things reveals Himself and rules directly, not allowing everyone to do what is right in their own eyes, which thankfully He has promised to do. Our real hope is in that time. The hope of all Israel and Judah, and the gentiles is in that time. They’re all waiting but don’t even know it. “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” That was a long comment :)

[@senderzeyv4292]

@@NodnarbRS The prophet Jeremiah is saying that there will come a time when ALL of the Jewish People will know G-d. At the present, there is a majority that do not know G-d. However, there is a minority who do know G-d and, without total success, try to instill that knowledge into the others saying, "know the Lord." Thus the "mass religious confusion" you referred to does not apply to everyone.

[@NodnarbRS]

sender zeyv I do believe it is very important for those who have knowledge of the Holy to continue in the right path and do all they can to walk in the commandments. It is very important, and it is important for them to keep saying “know the Lord.” The number of those with an unadulterated knowledge of even the basic commandments is insignificant, there are few who seek our Creator, but individually we should still try hard. We have no ability to sift out Judah from the nations, let alone the rest of the tribes which are scattered. That will be the work of Hashem, and He’s promised to do it, He has promised to do a work of restoration. Then all the tribes of Israel can finally be a light to the rest of the world and there will be knowledge of Hashem, not only in the the whole family of Israel, but in all the earth, and in all nations. That’s a good thing, and it will be much better than the chaos we have today! :)

[@andreaperez5727]

Thank you for sharing this it was very interesting I met haredi Jews I thought they were like the amish I didn't know about this .Jesus said no one sews a new patch on an old garment or the patch will take from the garment and the rent will be made worse.truly a new garment is needed ..Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father but by me.Jesus said behold I make all things new. It is written in the new testament if anyone be in Christ Jesus he is a new Creation. Thank you for sharing you thoughts I was confused between the Hebrew roots movement and secular Zionists too. I came across both groups .thank you so much I see many haredi Jews do not work and live in dire poverty I met an older gentleman who couldn't read and the friend that introduced. Me to him was praising him for this it was a unique idea because education is often esteemed .thank you.

As noted in another commentary it looks like checkmate for the state of Israel in the context of the proxy war between us&uk vs rus&chi It was ok for 75+ years. You put it very politely.
