If you do consider it to be so, how would saying a Zionist prayer not be an act of idolatry?
This is a question which has been asked of Hakatan numerous times (with slight variations), and he has done nothing but dodge and evade it. It is clear as day that in many ways, halachah l’maaseh, we don’t treat Zionism as literal kefirah and avodah zarah. Obviously, regarding this, the statements Hakatan has repeated in the names of the gedolim either a) don’t exist (I don’t recall Hakatan ever quoting the actual sources), b) are not meant literally, or c) we don’t pasken like them. (I think (b) is most likely).
Hakatan has no answers.
