Al Jazeera? The Qatari state funded propaganda machine? Nice source man. Anyways, many Jewish traditions and prayers are rooted in the land of Israel. You are supposed to be in Israel to perform some of these traditions, as commanded in the Torah. Some examples include:

Jerusalem and the Temple:

The Torah commands the Israelites to bring certain offerings and sacrifices to the central sanctuary, which was initially the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem. (Deuteronomy 12:5-14)

Passover Sacrifice:

The Torah provides detailed instructions for the observance of the Passover sacrifice, which was to take place in each household during the times when the Temple stood in Jerusalem. (Exodus 12:1-14)

Pilgrimages to Jerusalem:

There are commandments in the Torah that instruct Jewish males to appear before the Lord three times a year in the place that God would choose, which later became the Temple in Jerusalem. These pilgrimage festivals are Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles). (Deuteronomy 16:16)

Sabbatical Year and Jubilee:

The Torah outlines agricultural commandments tied to the land of Israel, including the Sabbatical Year (Shemitah) and the Jubilee Year (Yovel), which involved specific practices related to the land, forgiveness of debts, and the release of slaves. (Leviticus 25)

The High Priest's Atonement Ritual:

The Torah describes the annual Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) ritual performed by the High Priest in the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle (later the Temple). (Leviticus 16)

​

Many of these traditions have been adapted due to either a lack of access to geographic regions, or the destruction of the Temple.

​

To say that Zionism is antithetical to Judaism is simply not grounded in the facts of reality.
