The Religious Foundations of Zionism for the Establishment of the State of Israel - A Critical Analytical Study

Given the importance of faith in the lives of societies, the Zionists have recognized this fact. We can observe this by contemplating the foundations of the establishment of the State of Israel. How the Zionists focused their attention on religious foundations, with the goal of invoking the concepts of the Promised Land, God's Chosen People, and the Holy Temple, and making the re-establishment of the Jewish state a divine mandate, all in order to employ these beliefs in the establishment of the State of Israel. The research aims to demonstrate the religious foundations upon which Zionism is based in establishing the State of Israel on the land of Palestine, and to refute the Jewish claims upon which Zionism is based. The research is divided into an introduction and two chapters. The introduction includes: the importance of the research, its objectives, the reasons for its selection, the research methodology, previous studies, and its divisions. The first section was titled: Zionism - The State of Israel - Definition, Origins and Objectives. The second section was titled: The Religious Foundations for the Establishment of the State of Israel. The research reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: Zionism relied on several pillars to establish the State of Israel on the land of Palestine; that the religious pillar is one of the most important pillars from which Zionism launched the establishment of the State of Israel; that Zionism derives its ideology and beliefs from the holy books that the Jews have distorted; and that the most important religious pillars from which Zionism launched the establishment of the State of Israel are: the Promised Land, Holy Jerusalem, the Holy Temple, and the Chosen People.
