Avi K: no, it’s not.
There were many yishuvim before Zionism. One does not need a State in order to settle there. It is also an aveira to conquer E”Y before Hashem has redeemed us. Further, it is insanely stupid to even attempt to do so, because the punishment described there in the gemara for doing so is unimaginably terrible. Yes, I suppose the rest of my contentions were just as (non-)ludicrous.
Zionism is worshipped in two ways. By non-religious people, it is their God to whom they sacrifice everything: their lives, children, religion of their fathers, et al. By “religious Zionists”, it ranks in importance right after (I hope it’s after) Shema Yisrael.
As has been amply demonstrated before in other threads and is clear to anyone not drunk on Zionist Kool-Aid, the goal of Zionism was and is to shmad Jews. By elevating this same Zionism to a tenet of faith, the MO and “Religious Zionists” are lessening the chashivus of other mitzvos.
And by denying any part of Toras Moshe Rabbeinu, like the part about the gimmel shevuos, and replacing that with this abomination of Zionism, sounds like idolatry to me.
