>> ...a small slice of the slow death of Judaism. <<
and what specifically is this judaism that you are lamenting the death of? certainly not the cabbalistic babylonian baal worship which destroys the soul, for it is thriving in this age of apostasy.
>> Zionism has replaced the faith. <<
which 'faith' is that? mr. grasso, please do enlighten us with what this faith is that you are lamenting the death of, and when was it last found in its pure form.
zionism has always been the goal of the antichrist rabbinical jews, even before the blasphemous talmud was completely formed.
do you know who tertullian was? he was born around 150-160 a.d., less than a century after the romans left not one stone upon another in jerusalem and burned the city with fire in fulfillment of the word thus spoken by the King of kings:
But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. (Matthew 22.7)
he was born only 20 years or so after the final remnants of jews were completely banished from jerusalem by hadrian, after the second jewish revolt led by the false moshiach "bar kochba" (i.e. the "son of the star") -- that great star which fell from heaven as described by the holy prophet Isaiah.

CHAP. XXV.--CHRIST'S MILLENNIAL AND HEAVENLY GLORY IN COMPANY WITH HIS SAINTS.
Yes, certainly,(8) you say, I do hope from Him that which amounts in itself to a proof of the diversity (of Christs), God's kingdom in an everlasting and heavenly possession. Besides, your Christ promises to the Jews their primitive condition, with the recovery of their country; and after this life's course is over, repose in Hades(9) in Abraham's bosom. Oh, most excellent God, when He restores in amnesty(10) what He took away in wrath! Oh, what a God is yours, who both wounds and heals, creates evil and makes peace! Oh, what a God, that is merciful even down to Hades! I shall have something to say about Abraham's bosom in the proper place.(11) As for the restoration of Judaea, however, which even the Jews themselves, induced by the names of places and countries, hope for just as it is described,(12) it would be tedious to state at length(13) how the figurative(14) interpretation is spiritually applicable to Christ and His church, and to the character and fruits thereof; besides, the subject has been regularly treated(15) in another work, which we entitle De Spe Fidelium.(16)
have you ever heard of the holy presbyter St. Jerome? this pious monk settled in bethlehem around the turn of the 4th century and reposed there around 420 a.d.

COMMENTARY ON DANIEL
CHAPTER TWO
Verse 40. "And there shall be a fourth empire like unto iron. Just as iron breaks to pieces and overcomes all else, so it shall break to pieces and shatter all these preceding empires . ..." Now the fourth empire, which clearly refers to the Romans, is the iron empire which breaks in pieces and overcomes all others. But its feet and toes are partly of iron and partly of earthenware, a fact most clearly demonstrated at the present time. For just as there was at the first nothing stronger or hardier than the Roman realm, so also in these last days there is nothing more feeble (D), since we require the assistance of barbarian tribes both in our civil wars and against foreign nations. However, at the final period of all these empires of gold and silver and bronze and iron, a rock (namely, the Lord and Savior) was cut off without hands, that is, without copulation or human seed and by birth from a virgin's womb; and after all the empires had been crushed, He became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. This last the Jews and the impious Porphyry apply to the people of Israel, who they insist will be the strongest power at the end of the ages, and will crush all realms and will rule forever.
so you see this 'zionist' jewish struggle to recapture their city and gain mastery over the entire world is not a recent invention. it goes back many centuries.
