Hakatan,
you are doing exactly what the “zionists” you hate so much have done. Both of you seperate the torah from ey, they picked ey and you picked the torah.
The real truth is that ey is an integral part of the torah.
A small example of how you are in denial about ey, you claim that the best case scenario is that it is an optional mitzvah, however the ramban says chiyuv, the yaavetz says chiyuv, the chazon ish say chiyuv.
whenever you are confronted with this, you immediately change the topic to how bad the zionists are.
