I didn’t (couldn’t) read your whole post (too much English), I beg to differ on one of your points.
Zionism as defined, in its essence, means what and how it was presented by the bareheaded “fathers”. Exactly as they declared by their “declaration of independence”. ???? ??? ?????. And all their accessories, to numerous to mention. Anyone wearing a kappel, anyone Shomer Shabbos, andone holding mitzvhos, has already deviated from the ideals of Zionism. He’s trying to “explain”, trying to “compromise”, reform his version of Zionism.
