Nationalism is against open pesukim “hayom hazeh nihiyaysi li le’am” , today you are for me a nation… on the day of matan torah in the desert, not in eretz yisroel. Rav saadia gaon writes explicitly 5hat klal yisroel is a nation only because of its torah. It’s difficult to overlook such things and say it’s debatable, when the proponent of zionism were all influenced by secular studies and philosophers, including rabbi kook. There is chochma by goyim, but not torah, and the definition of our nation is a torah issue, to be understood by torah sources only.
