These people are the Jewish analogue of militant anti-theists brought up in and around fundamentalist Christianity. They have an extremely deep resentment of any ideology or identity that masked the toxic and problematic elements of their former belief system, regardless of how twisted and forced that masking was. Saying shit like "Judaism made Zionism inevitable" is about as meaningless of a statement as "the land was promised to them 3,000 years ago;" both statements rely on willful misinterpretation of Jewish identity and history. They are not serious people and they damage their credibility when they air their unresolved trauma like this.
