David S., I think everyone wants a state run al pi halacha. That’s not Zionism. The idea of Zionism was to create a “new Jew”, a state like all the others. Herzl didn’t want Uganda to create a halachic state. The state was last run al pi halacha when Queen Shlomtzion (Salomis Alexandra) ruled through the advice of the chachomim before the churban bayis sheini.
