Reply To: circa 1900: Letter from Lubavitcher Rebbe, the Heresy of “Religious” Zionism

one i’ve copied from another site:

What is Zionism

Zionism is a secular anti-Judaism movement started in the 19th century to disconnect the Jewish community from religious Judaism and replace it with a secular new identity, called the “”Hebrew”” or “”Israeli””. Core to Zionism is the belief in “”self-determination”” vs the Jewish belief in “”divine determination”” where the success and safety of Jews is directly linked to our adherence to the Torah and keeping the mitzvos.

Practically, zionism today means the state of Israel has a right to exist, which is counter to the Torah which says that Jews do not have the right to have their own state (in any form) as there is a divine decree that we live as citizens amongst the non-Jewish nations.

tldr

Zionism means the State of Israel has a right to exist and that Jews have a right to self determination.

There are simpler, and even more to the point definitions, but they are only accessible if you have already accepted and learnt only Torah sources and rejected zionism.
