Ok, so I had this video in my youtube feed named "Israeli's: what do you think Jesus, Mary and Christianity?" and ignored it for the best part of a week - until just now.
I watched it just because I was curious...
...Now here is the thing. The video was shot entirely in Jerusalem, Israel. The interviewer is asking Jews what they think about Jesus, Mary and Christianity.
But you'll notice something else - most of these Israeli Jews - are actually secular and don't follow religion at all.
So let me get this straight - most of Israel is Jewish, but not following their faith - that's what I take away from the video.
So why the need to return to their promised land if they don't believe?

Those people aren't 'returning' anywhere, they were born in Israel.
Zionism has always been primarily political, rather than religious, i.e. concerned with a homeland for the Jewish people as a whole (the location of which is determined by historical habitation) rather than just people who follow Judaism. To understand the Arab-Israeli conflict it's essential not to confuse the two. Likewise, the Arabs - it tends to get forgotten these days that for the first forty years or so of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Israel's primary opponents were secular socialists.
So why the need to return to their promised land if they don't believe?
It has been that way since a few thousand years, no? Hence they were always expelled from their 'promised land' due to their transgressions. But they never learn and continue with their transgressions until today....
I also saw that video on Youtube.
Truth is, they aren't really Jews, they're Zionists trying to use Judaism to their advantage. Sure, some of the citizens are actual Jews but most of the population is not.
They don't believe in God but they believe that He promised them the land of Palestine, it doesn't make sense.
