>>>the blame of early zionists going OTD is not to laid at door of the rabbanim it is where it rightfully belongs – at the door of those zionists themselves you are supporting revision of real history
This in itself is a revisionist history claim as it implies that the early Zionists were frum but then went OTD when they got caught up in Zionism. In reality almost none of them were frum by the time they joined the Zionist movement and most of the anti frum had been anti frum beforehand too.
The anti-Zionist love saying things like Theodore Herzl used to light a Xmas tree and had at one point in time wanted to convert all Jews Xtianity. If that is true, then Zionism was a major step up from what those people would have been doing had they not become Zionists.
