The issue is simple: either HaShem is there or he is not. Either He has spoken or he has not. Either His Torah is perfect or it is not. Even a reprobate Jew should know that without Torah, Zionism is racism. For Israel exists to wrap the Torah with flesh and bone, in a context where it may live. Torah in return undergirds and enlivens Israel. They cannot live without each other. This romance has a context and that is the Land of Israel, the place where the Almighty has chosen to dwell in His Great Name. All three make up the structure of The Redemption, without which the world would have no reason to exist.
When Moshe Rabeinu went up to har Sinai, they still made a golden calf.
And we have been paying for it ever since.
