The Jews wanted a home for themselves and decided to take for themselves the land that was promised to them by their god, even if that land was held and surrounded by their enemies. Doesn't get more religious than that. Who in their right mind would do such a thing, knowing they will be caught up in eternal conflict and warfare? That's the power and ridiculousness of religion, my friend. There would not be a concept of Israel, if it wasn't based on religion.

So... if in the bible the verse that says that land was promised them by God did not exist you think they would not want to return to their historic land and none of this would happen and they would be happily living scattered around the world?
