I have observed than money and religion seem to really twist people up so that they will do really inhuman things, like genocide to maintain their money, power and/or belief system. Some of the Christian Zionists I have heard speaking seem to be buried under things that "God" has said and support Israel because, apparently God told them that once the Israelites returned to Israel, they would rise up to heaven. Being reminded that there are also 10 commandments, one of them saying not to kill, doesn't seem to faze them.
There are a couple of different things in your analysis. It's true that religion leads to some horrifying things, but Jewish Zionism was never religious. Christian Zionism is appalling in its own distinct way.
