You surely realize that the Zionists will never be at peace with Torah Jews who are living reminders of the numerous abject failures of Zionism and, therefore, this cannot be some utopian situation wherein everyone is at peace together as they all serve the idol of Zionism.
Interestingly, Chava, according to Chazal, tried a somewhat similar tactic with Adam HaRishon back in Gan Eden, after she was fooled by the nachash; she even convinced Adam to listen to her (as Adam rightly claimed to Hashem). That worked out real well; didn’t it?
The same not being able to be at peace with authentic Torah observance is true, to a lesser extent, of the MO/”Religious Zionists” who also take offense to other Jews not adopting their new faith. (Observe what MO schools in the US tell their students about those who “dare” to not observe the Israeli Independence day as a Jewish religious holiday, et al.)
As well, as things stand now, the disasters of Zionism, both spiritual and material, have not stopped and have, in some ways, gotten worse. As we know, the entire purpose of Zionism is shmad, meaning, therefore, they cannot tolerate Judaism. Yet you think this “achdus” at the essential cost of abandonment of the Torah is “the most important thing”?
You seem to you feel it’s better to have Jews lost, CH”V, at the altar of the idol of Zionism (both physically and/or spiritually), as so many unknowingly continue to worship that idol (and physically serve and, as a “bonus”, get shmadded, in the IDF, etc.), rather than for Jews to learn the truth about the idolatry and kefirah of Zionism, daven for the true geulah, and all be redeemed by Hashem BB”A?
I humbly disagree.
I feel it makes much more sense to try to save people from corrupting their Judaism with, CH”V, Zionism.
