Zionism, of course, is an essentially secular movement, essentially validating the right of Jews to live where they wish. A simplistic concept, perhaps, only nutballs question the ability of Americans to live in America, but as a eurocentric movement, it's roots are in a nearly millenia old culture which told Jews to live where and under circumstances directed, and don't whine about it.
The early Zionists were not religious Jews, simply forsaw the future of Europe better than many of their co-religionists.
It took the Dreyfus affair for the assimilated Jews to begin to catch on.
As for JEWS NOT ZIONISTS, I don't consider them Jews. Speaking merely as a Jew, I consider them heretics who pray at the altar of dead Roman soldiers and piss on the Torah. A ruling imposed by gentile swords is inherently invalid. Those who would use it to attack other Jews, while recieving money from Jew killers should be excommunicated and ostracized as the whores they are.
Every word they write is a Chilul Hashem, a defamation of the name of G_d.
More than seeing and predicting the future of Europe, vis-a-vis the lives of Jews living in Europe, the Zionists saw and admitted more honestly than other Jews what Europe had been, vis-a-vis the lives of Jews and how that past was rooted in an antisemitism that Liberalism was not likely to squelch.
