Toi,
First of all, I think Herzl was a tinok shenishba, not a rasha.
Second of all, I think that there are many religious Zionists who will say that Ben Gurion was a rasha, Echad Ha’am was a Rasha, Weizman was rasha, etc. In your criticism of religious zionists you are begging the question. Was it it the religious zionists that named streets and parks after Herzl or Ben Gurion, or was it the Israeli Government (which religious Zionists have always been a small minority of, as has been a Agudah).
Love of E”Y has been a theme within Torah since the beginning. A wish to have control over E”Y is not without sources. I hear the argument that because secular Jews made E”Y the sole aspect of their Judaism and thereby perverted the Torah, we should lessen any stress on that mitzvah to highlight the difference between the two (the way we did with the Aseres Hadibros in response to Christianity). But I also hear the argument fakert.
The fierce anti-Zionism expressed by some in the CR in harshest of tones, is wrong. We who are not part of the religious Zionist camp must realize that they too are frum Jews, trying to serve Hashem to the best of their ability. They are not rashaim or “goyim,” chas v’shalom, they are Torah true Jews who disagree with us on some discreet issues. We must love and respect them as Bais Hillel loved and respected Bais Shammai.
