Gus > They somehow missed the symbolic, allegorical nature of the Promised Land myth. Hence they erroneously took it at face value and saw the setting-up of the Israeli state as its fulfillment. Spot on, but not only Zionists, all religious fundamentalists make the same mistake. It's only atheists or else pantheists who appreciate the true nature of "God" and the other heavenly fantasies. And that's why Zen is so fantastic -- it clears the mind of all the crap. Meanwhile every religion keeps hammering away at the literal interpretation of its religious texts, emphasising that it is the only true "way" and that other religions are the work of the devil, keeping its flock quiet and pious and keeping its priests in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
