Modern Zionism is not a reaction to the Shoah. It began well before
WWII and the Holocaust, only partially motivated by the anti-Semitism
that preceded the Shoah; recall Herzl’s reactions to the Dreyfus
Affair. On the one hand, Zionism is an affirmation of the Jewish
people’s 2,000-year-long yearning to return to their ancestral
homeland, manifested in the daily prayers of the Jewish people.
On the other hand, the founders of Israel were mostly secular and
atheist, seeing themselves as a people, rather than a religion,
returning to their homeland.
