Jewish author explains why Zionism is the abandonment of Israel's spiritual destiny

"I have not said what I have gradually come to think-- that the salvation of Judaism is not the national idea at all...May we not dream nobler dreams than political independence? For, after all, political independence is only a means to an end, not an end in itself...To be merely one among the nations-- that is not...so satisfactory an ideal. The restoration to Palestine, or the acquisition of a national center, may be a political solution but it is not a spiritual idea. We must abandon it...our dispersal has saved Judaism, and it may yet save the world. For I prefer the dream that we are divinely inspired to bless it, wind-sown seeds to fertilize its waste places. To be a nation without a fatherland, yet with a mother-tongue, Hebrew-- there is the spiritual originality, the miracle of history. Such has been the real kingdom of Israel in the past-- we have been 'sons of the Law'...a kingdom not of space...but a great spiritual Republic, as devoid of material form as Israel's God, and congruous with his conception of the divine...And this kingdom-- as it has no space, so it has no limits; it must grow till all mankind are its subjects. The brotherhood of Israel will be the nucleus of the brotherhood of man." 

Israel Zangwill, Children of the Ghetto 

Jewish nationalism is a fundamental rejection of the God of Israel's spiritual purpose for His Chosen People. The abandonment of this spiritual vocation has led to horrific consequences, and possibly, will include the issuing in of Apocalypse. How do the Jewish people contain the nucleus of the brotherhood of man? Possibly because, through Yeshua, salvation was extended from the Jews to all people, not making Jews into "Christians" but by grafting the wild olives of all gentiles onto the olive tree of Israel.
