. . . to clearly define both Zionism and Anti-Zionism. I have read about extremely devout Jewish groups who oppose the existence of the modern State of Israel. I don't wish to misrepresent their position, but I think that they believe that the restoration of Israel should have a clearly demonstrated supernatural cause. The fact that Israel came about by human-made, political decision processes renders it illegitimate in their eyes.

In this manner, they are unlike some extreme Christian sects, who are willing to claim God works in the social sphere by giving them what they want when they flex their political muscle.
