Zionists, through their deceiving propaganda have been fooling the westerners that Zionism is a part of Judaism. However, in reality, most of founders of Zionist movement had little concern with Judaism, and even evinced a marked hostility toward its percepts and practices. During his visit to Jerusalem, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the Austro-Hungarian Jew and founder of political Zionism, consciously violated many Jewish religious practices in order to emphasize his new nonreligious outlook as distinct from a traditional religious stance.
Max Nordau (1849-1923), the German Jew and Herzl’s close friend, was a self-avowed Atheist, who believed that the Torah was “inferior as literature” compared to Homer and European Classics”, and that it was “childish as philosophy and revolting as morality,” - (Desmond Stewart in ‘Theodor Herzl’). He even suggested that the day would come when Herzl’s “Jewish State” would be given equal status with the Bible, even by its author’s religious opponents.
Dr. Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952), the Russian Jew and leader of Socialist Party, who became the first president of Zionist entity – took pleasure at times in “baiting the Rabbis about kosher food,”- (Richard Grossman in ‘A Nation Reborn’).
The early Zionist settlers in occupied Palestine dropped the name “Jew”, calling themselve “Hebrew” instead. They used this more modern term in their campaigns in the 1930s and in early 1940s, calling for a “Hebrew” rather than a “Jewish” state. The current term, “Jewish state” was coined in 1940s, again with no intended religious connotation, except to fool the religious Jews and misguided Christians.
