The possibility should not have entered your mind any more
than I assume it would have if I’d posted the following:
“Why would Zionists fight to keep kollelim in operation?
That’s a Chareidi ideal…”
A self-governing Jewish country is something that
Zionism believes in and believes in fighting for.
I don’t think it’s possible to disagree with that.
(Supports:
1. Did anything other than Zionism motivate the fight
for Israeli independence?
2. The term used in Hebrew for Religious Zionists literally means “Nationalist Religious.”)
