Great jewish argument why #zionism is contreary to #judaism:
"It was only the irreparable consequences of these national calamities [the failed uprising under r. Akiva and Bar Kokhba] that finally persuaded the rising Rabbinic leadership of the third century CE to temper the potent messianic illusions that were the legacy of the Maccabean victory.
According to the Talmud, those embarking to leave the land were required to take multiple oaths of passivity: not to retake the land, not to take up arms against their neighbors and not to tinker with the calendar to find out when the Messiah might come (BT Ketuvot 111a). As in so much of Judaism, moderation was henceforth irrevocably preferred to extremism."
