Health, you have elevated anti-zionism into a religion. While the Miztvah of remembering what Amalek did is once a year, the Mitzvah of remembering what the “Zionists’ did is every day by you.
This anti-zionism you preach is not going to bring a single Jew back to Torah and mitzvos. In fact any one involved in Kiruv knows not to say anything that may be construed to be anti-zionism.
When the Jews were saved in 1967 the Pashut Emunah approach was to thank G-d for the deliverance; not to do deep philosophical calculations. The Gemara in Brachos is very clear that we must thank G-d for such salvations, and not do calculations about possible future negative impact.
Unfortunately, human nature is that the emotional impact of deliverance wears off with time, unless a specific effort is done to keep the deliverance experience alive. Without the specific Mitzvos of Pesach and others, the impact of the Exodus would have worn off quickly.
