Look, their argument may not be 100% logically sound but at least they're speaking out against Israel. Anyway, Israel does fly in the face of Judaism as Judaism states that jews can't rule in the state of Israel until the messiah comes.

I kinda agree, but at the same time zionists use the Bible (among other things) as justification and a blueprint for Israel. Saying that its worldview is barbaric and shoudl stay a thing of Bronze Age/antiquity would be IMO more helpful, but I guess what we've got here is better than nothing.

Israel flies in the face of humanity in the first place, so if someone rejects their politics on the basis of theological details rather than this, they don't really deserve respect.
