Uh… to he clear, Ben Gurion didn’t believe shit about being promised the land of Palestine.

citation needed. Why did Ben Gurion insist that Israel be in the lands described in the torah? Wasn’t he offered a homeland for jews in Madagascar?

Zionist leadership (and a good chunk of the rank and file, though I couldn’t tell you how much) at the time of the Nakba was atheist as all hell.

Again citation needed. Also zionism is religious in nature. The concepts of jewish homeland in the land of zion are from the torah.

Zionism is a movement based on religion.
