The "land grant from God" is not a radical Zionist belief. It would be more accurate to call it a traditional Jewish belief. The disagreement is what you do about it, act now or wait for the Messiah to show up. My own beliefs are more American. A state is something you build. The Zionists came, they bought, they built and they defended what they built. Just like the Americans did, and Kurds are doing now, more power to them. They are. For all three peoples, a sense of their history and their shared purpose was and is a major organizing principle. For the Kurds and Jews, it tied them to their ancestral lands; for the Americans it gave them a purpose to settle the new lands.
