If the Zionists claim to be Jews, and most do, then they should follow the dictates of the Jewish religion.

Judaism is inherently Zionist. No one should follow Judaism any longer, since the Christ came who was foretold by Moses and the prophets and established the New Covenant. The Jews don't even bother to even read the Scriptures they claim to adhere to. Jeremiah 31 for instance:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

Obviously the New Testament is the new covenant that was promised to Israel and to Judah.

Groups like Neturei Karta are not anti-Zionist as they falsely claim. They simply claim that Jews must not gather themselves into Zion, but rather that they should wait for the times of their Mashiach, (i.e. the Antichrist) to gather them, instead.

For many centuries the Fathers of the Church have prophesied that at the end of the age the Antichrist will gather the Jews back into the land.

Zionism is simply preparation for the enthronement of Antichrist, which must take place in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is destined to become the capital of the world, and Antichrist will be enthroned there.

Certain holy fathers also teach that prominent (pseudo) Orthodox Patriarchs will participate in his coronation in Jerusalem.

Just because someone calls himself a Christian doesn't make it so. Is Bush a Christian? Of course not.

Just because someone calls himself Orthodox doesn't make it so either.

Most of the "bishops" in the world calling themselves Orthodox these days have departed from the Church and are in apostasy.

But these tumultuous times should not trouble those who are interested in the truth, because all this was testified to by Christ and His holy Apostles a couple thousand years ago.

Go no further than UN Resolution 242 and the fourth Geneva Convention, both of which say that Israel cannot take the land which it has gained in war. Thus, it is not necessary to examine my value system in order to know what is right and what is not.

Why should we bow down to the whims of the UN? Based upon what authority do they have the right to dictate their twisted version of morality to the whole world? What if the U.N. were to change their mind and pass all sorts of resolutions justifying Israel's ethnic cleansing of the native population? Would you then suddenly cause your views to conform to this radically altered viewpoint?

Which raises still another question. The U.N. is a recent phenomenon. What if you lived in a time before the existence of the U.N.?

What would be your objective source of morality then?

Very often one can't be, that's true. In fact, and for the reason you suggest, life to everyone is a subjective experience based on one's perception, understanding, knowledge etc. Indeed, no two people can see the world in exactly the same way.

Life is only subjective to those who choose not to know God. Your very breath depends on God. You couldn't even read this message if it were not for God's divine and loving providence. The sooner you come to realize this, the sooner you will be able to participate in communion with God, and then life will not be viewed by you as "subjective" anymore. You will recognize the purpose God laid out for you and for all mankind.

God will give you the knowledge to see the world properly, as He would have all men to come to the knowledge of the truth.

According to His goodness, He has already given you a conscience, and that is what motivates you to recognize the injustice of Zionism, not some U.N. resolution.
