There is also no concept of a “homeland” in the Torah. That is zionist brainwashing; a nation needs a homeland, so zionists chose eretz yisroel. A nation needs a language, and that became farshmutzed Hebrew, it needs a history, and that became a twisted version of the Maccabees and kings.

All of that is nationalist nonsense.

We are a nation because of the Torah alone, rav saadya gaon famously writes. We don’t have a homeland. The Torah is our homeland. Hashem wrote in the Torah that “today you are a people for me” in the desert by matan Torah – we became a nation at matan Torah, not before or after. Eretz yisroel is a valuable tool, one of the most valuable! But it is not our homeland because such a concept doesn’t exist outside of the minds of secular historians and nationalistic heretics.
