Again, you don't understand Judaism, which was my point. Are you familiar with the group, Jews for Jesus, are you saying they are not Jewish. Then there are atheist Jews, who continue to celebrate their Jewish traditions.

Judaism is both an ethnicity and a religion, Zionism is tied to both since ethnic Jews (Semites) have an historical tie to Israel and religious Jews have a religious connection to Israel, and other some Jews like your video have no connection to Israel.

Just as with Islam, no one speaks for the Jews. Who do you think speaks for Islam? Do you think the Indonesian Muslims (the largest Muslim nation on the planet recognizes any Muslim leader in the MIddle East as "speaking for them"? The same is true of Jews.

As for Jewish scholars using the Torah, you might enjoy that the Talmud and Mishnah both contain over 400 years of debates between Jewish scholars concerning what the Torah says. If Jewish scholars could not agree after 400 years, why do you think they agree today. You might enjoy this article... it attempts to view Israel through both religious and secular perspectives.
