Traditional Reform Judaism had no use or need for Zionism, having replaced “The Temple” with a lot of local temples throughout the world, and thereby considering Israel to be nothing more than an historical relic. With the establishment of Israel, this was an inconvenience that the “new” Reform movement has tried to adjust to. But I am sure that the existence of Israel as the “home” of Judaism is something that Liberal Reform/secular Jews could live without.
The founding of modern Israel, in fact, had more to do with Christians than it did with Reform Jews. To be exact, Protestants and evangelicals with a particular theological view which took the Old Testament more literally than their forebears did. And I tend to agree with these Christians. As part of the final acts of the world drama, Jews will once more converge upon their holy land, conquer their mortal enemies, and there will be a brand new temple erected. Then Christians and modern Jews differ on what comes next; Christians insist that Jesus Christ will be recognized by the Jewish people.
