Cyprian > The Jews don't need to be gathered into any particular place to be saved.

They don't want to be "saved", as you call it, they just don't want to be persecuted. This idea of "saving" is a Christian concept which is not known in the Jewish religion.

> Christ is the place of refuge for all mankind, including the Jews.

I have no problem with Christ or his teachings. My problem is with religion -- the way man has twisted the words of wise people to make a trap for fools.

> Zionism is Jewish rebellion against God.

That's exactly what the Neturei Karta (Torah true Jews) say.

> The Jews are Zionist because they want to go back to their old way of life, when they were the chosen people and they ruled over the heathen.

I have not heard that argument before. As far as I can see, the State of Israel is now a fait accompli but without any real existential purpose other than making the lives of the Palestinians a misery. Indeed, the five million or so Jews who live there could easily be swallowed up in the US and probably be a lot happier there, too.
